The black unit pictured is the exact same in both the Dot and the Portable charger. The unpainted aluminum plate at the back is slightly different because of slightly different mounting requirements. That’s it.
And as you can see, there are two rubber grommets bolted to either side and a blue rubber gasket on the back sealing off the internals completely. Further, the internals are potted, providing further moisture and vibration resistance to the components inside. The entire case acts as a heat spreader and the tiny fan on top then tries to blow that heat away without the need for any ventilation holes.
My vehicle will be delivered probably on Monday. I have inverter in my house. Whether Dot can be plugged into socket which is through inverter or to be connected to a socket which is not through inverter.
No you shouldn’t. The Dot needs to be connected to a Heating / AEH point. If you connect to an inverter point then when the power goes and if that time your Ather is charging you Inverter will Fuse. So get the Ather Dot connected to a Heating / AEH Point.
I just got my vehicle delivered today will be setting up the dot charger over the weekend to work in tandem with my off grid solar inverter system, will post my experience of charging the ather with solar panels and inverters shortly. Standby for more updates from me.
Through MCB or RCB the DOT is to be connected? Is it OK without MCB also. My electrician asking which type of MCB? Ather team Hubli told it is OK without MCB also. I am confused.
MCB is an additional and good safety measure to have and is not a requirement since ather already gives a tripping device (I suddenly forgot the name 🤦) along with dot or portable chargers buldled with them.
you need the connect the light’s connector which is in the front panel to the rear connector , a small automotive connector will be there something like this
It will work but the light is required ti check if there is any error. If there is any issue in dot then it will be red. If update is happening then amber and if good then green.
For light to be On we have to open tge outercase and you will understand which pins to join. So without light also it will work it is just for indicative purpose
