ZEFNET Pro User Manual

OPERATION
The ZEFNET Pro EVSE is a floor mounted commercial EVSE that provides
the Plug-in Hybrid or Battery Electric Vehicle (together Plug-In Electric
Vehicles, or
“PEV”) user with a safe and manageable link between the
power grid and the PEV.
Simply unplug the SAE J1772 charge plug from the ZEFNET Pro holster,
and plug firmly into the vehicle’s charge port.
Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge using a special
communication line in the cable. Within a few seconds the LED indicators
at the top of the unit will transition from Blue, and then to Orange and the
charging cycle will begin (depending upon the specific vehicle - some
vehicles go straight to Orange to indicate charging). After an average
driving day the vehicle battery pack will require several hours to recharge
completely. Charging overnight is the most convenient way to maintain
healthy batteries and ensure the vehicle’s full range will be available for the
next day.
When the vehicle has stopped charging the Orange LEDs on the ZEFNET
Pro will change to Green. To remove the connector head once a charge
cycle has completed (or to interrupt a charge in progress) press and hold
down the latch release lever on the connector handle then unplug the
connector from the vehicle charge port.
