Operation
The following operation assumes all steps with a Payment Module have been completed to initiate the EVSE for a charging
session. If your EVSE does not use a Payment Module, you will need to either push the ON button on the wall switch (Figure
1) or the Remote FOB to release the cable to initiate a charging session. At this point, the cable will lower to the ADA height
of 48 inches.
1.
Open the lid to your electric vehicle’s (EV) charging receptacle.
2.
Observe the Data Router on the front of the EVSE (Figure 18). The blue Power LED is on and the yellow Connect
LED is blinking.
3.
Press and hold the switch on the J1772 connector (Figure 19), walk the charging cable from the charger to your EV,
and plug the J1772 connector into the charging receptacle. The yellow Connect LED turns off and the green
Charging LED begins flashing. Your EV’s battery is now charging. If the EVSE has an optional display (Figure 18A), it
will display the price per kW of electrical charge, much like the price per gallon when filling up with gas.
4.
If in Simulated Level 1 Charge Mode (7A@208 and 240 VAC), both yellow and green LEDs will flash while charging.
5.
The green Charging LED turns solid when the EV’s battery is fully charged. When charging is complete, disconnect
the J1772 connector from the EV’s charging receptacle by pressing the switch on top of the charging connector and
pulling it out. The green Charging LED turns off. The yellow Connect LED blinks until the cable is fully retracted and
then turns off. Only the blue Power LED remains on.
6.
The cable will retract automatically when removed from the EV’s charging receptacle. If you pull the charging cable
while it is retracting or if the cable gets caught on anything, cable retraction will stop for safety reasons. The cable
will make one additional attempt to retract. Thereafter, pressing and releasing the switch on the J1772 connector
(Figure 19) will restart the cable retraction process. If this is the one hundredth time the cable has been extended
for charging, the built-in Cable Maintenance Program will automatically extend the cable to its full 20-foot length
and then fully retract it back up into the EVSE when the cable is unplugged from the EV.
NOTE: If you remove the charging cable from the EV’s receptacle before the battery is fully charged, the charging process
terminates, and the cable begins to retract. Power is removed from the connector prior to its full removal from the
receptacle as a safety precaution. Let the cable fully retract and restart the process. Retraction will take up to 20
seconds. If the charge has been authorized through a Payment Module, removing the cable from the vehicle ends the
session and requires a new authorization.
Built-in Safety: When power is applied to the EV, the EVSE monitors the current being drawn. Should the current exceed the
maximum levels set by the breaker switches, the EVSE will disconnect the power from the EV and the red
Problem LED will turn on. If there was a ground fault, the EVSE will attempt three closures after a short
delay. There is no re-closure with an over-current trip.
