1.1 ABOUT THIS DOCUMENTATION PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENTATION These Operating Instructions contain all the information you need for commissioning and using the Mainpine EPC charging controller . They are intended for use by electrically skilled persons who commission the device .
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 CAUTIONS & DANGERS CAUTION: PLEASE OBSERVE THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND LEGAL NOTES Installation requirements vary by country, state, and jurisdiction . It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the legal installation requirements are met . DANGER: VOLTAGE HAZARDS Contact with live components can result in serious injuries .
DESCRIPTION 3.1 EPC FEATURES The Mainpine EPC charging controller is a product which is intended for use in charging stations for electric vehicles . EPC CHARGING CONTROLLER FEATURES DEVICE VERSIONS • Mainpine EPC charging controllers have part numbers in this format: EPC_(1)_V(2)_(3)A_(4).
LED is changed to steady-green . If status D is indicated (ventilation required) then charging and interlock are deactivated as the EPC does not provide a fan-enable mechanism, and the LED is changed to steady-red .

WARNING Via the pilot signal, the EPC module specifies the maximum charging current that can be called up by the vehicle . This specified current must be consistent with the line protection configured for the charging device and the rest of the plant configuration . Failure to observe this notice can result in injury to persons or property damage .
3.4 LED DISPLAY & TROUBLESHOOTING LED DISPLAY The EPC has a 3-color LED for displaying operating states and fault conditions . The LED can be lit in blue, green, or red . The meaning of the individual displays is shown in the following tables:...
MOUNTING 4.1 MOUNTING ONTO STANDARD RAIL 1. Clip the device (a) vertically onto the horizontal DIN rail (b) . 2. Swing the device downward until the unlocking slider on the DIN rail clicks into place . Figure: Mounting onto standard rail...
CONNECTION Depending on the device version the Mainpine EPC charging controller is connected to the EVSE in the following methods: WARNING: UNDESIRABLE HEAT GENERATION OR FIRE DUE TO INADEQUATE FUSING The internal fuses are designed only to protect the device itself . The system installer and plant operator are responsible for the necessary line protection .

CONNECTION FREE CABLE VERSION “Free” means that the charging cable is not permanently connected and that the user is expected to provide their own . Relay 3 (P5/P6) is energized for cables connected which support 63A current capacities . Otherwise, relay 2 (P3/P4) is energized for cables connected which support 32A current capacities .

This connects to the IC resistor, switch, or dial * On tethered installations the RCBO and contactor should be rated according to the maximum current capacity of the EPC . On free-cable installations the RCBO and contactor should be rated 16A .
Always route this externally from the device! The 0V reference point within the plant must be dimensioned according to the anticipated current of the plant itself . The EPC connection to the 0V is only a functional ground . Failure to observe this notice can result in electric shock or damage to property .
. PROCEDURE: 1. Disconnect the wiring from all EPC connector terminals . 2. Disassemble the device by pulling the locking slider on the back of the device down and swivel the device away from the DIN rail and remove it .
