257V @ 50Hz AC)*

 

N (NEUTRAL) 

 

This is where the AC 

neutral

’ 

connection is made (207

-

257V @ 50Hz AC)*

 

0V (PE)  

 

This is where the Protective Earth  ( ground ) and 0v  connections for the RCM and 
IC resistor circuits are made*

 

LK+

 

Configuration is dependent .  

 

• 

Provides a drive current to continuously energise the solenoid interlock 

 

• 

Provides a drive current to change the motorised interlock state to locked 
( The signal is activated for 500ms and changes to pulsed 500ms intervals 
until the lock is engaged.  ( See LK FB ) 

 

Rating 12V 300mA

 

 

 

LK

-

 

Configuration is dependent .  

 

• 

Provides a return path for the solenoid interlock drive current LK+.

 

• 

Provides a drive current to change the motorised interlock state to unlocked 
( The signal is activated for 500ms and changes to pulsed 500ms intervals 
until the lock is disengaged.  ( See LK FB )

CP ( Control Pilot ) 

 

Connection for the IEC61851  / J1772 EVSE  Connector  ( see Pilot  Circuit )

 

IC ( Input Current ) 

 

The limiting Input Current to the EV , Resistor connection ( The other connection 
of the Resistor is the 0v (PE) terminal.

 

12V

 

12V Supply to provide power to  the RCM

 

FLT 

 

Connects to RCM 

‘ 

Fault out

’. 

The EPC 2.0 reads if fault condition reported by the 

RCM 

 

TST 

 

Connects to RCM 

‘ 

Test

’ . 

The EPC 2.0 uses this to check the operation of the 

RCM before each charging session commences.

 

CT1 ( PEN) 

 

Connection for current transformer 1; measures earth current for PEN Loss detec-
tion (or base load for load sharing in EPC 2.0 + models )

 

 

CT2

 

Connection for the other side of current transformer  1

 

 

NC

   

Not Connected . Not used . 

 

CT3

 

Connection for current transformer 2; measures EVSE current draw in EPC 2.0 + 
models (not used in the basic EPC 2.0 models)

 

 

CT4 

 

Connection for the other side of current transfer 2 

 

RSA

 

RS485 connection available in EPC 2.0 + models

 

 

RSB

 

RS485 connection available in EPC 2.0 + models

 

 

RSG

 

RS485 ground connection available in EPC 2.0 + models

 

 

• 

*  On tethered  and free cable installations the electrical protection  and contactor should be rated according to 
the maximum current capacity selected via the DIP switch on the  EPC 2.0  of either 16A or 32 A
