Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge using a special communication line in the cable. Within a few seconds the green ‘Charging’ light on the face of the EV40 will turn on and the charge cycle will begin. After an average driving day the vehicle battery will require a few hours to recharge completely.
EV40 User’s Manual THE EV40 FRONT PANEL The front panel on the EV40 has four indicator lights: Figure 1. The EV40 Front Panel POWER: (yellow) indicates that power is available to the EV40.

Notice that L1, L2, & Ground are labeled on each diagram. Those transformer outputs correspond to the same inputs on the EV40 Charger. Also, each of the two 3-phase diagrams shows an L3 output, which is not used. Do not connect all three phases of a 3-phase secondary to the EV40 Charger.
Page 11
With a wye-connected secondary, any two of the legs can be used to provide 208V to the EV40 Charger. For example, L1 & L2, or L1 & L3, or L2 & L3. Leave the unused leg open. Do not connect it to a Neutral bar, or to Ground. Be sure the center point is grounded to earth somewhere in the system.

EV40 User’s Manual Figure 4. 240V 3-Phase, Delta-Connected, with center-tap on one leg. Caution: With the delta connection, one leg must be center-tapped, and only the two phases on either side of the center tap can be used. The two phases must both measure 120V to neutral.
• Position the bottom of the charge station at a comfortable height and at least 18 inches above the ground. Ensure that the LEDs on the front panel of the EV40 can clearly be seen by anyone who will be operating the device.

• Size 1/4-20 lag screws are recommended for mounting the EV40 to a wooden structure. Pre-drill approximately sized pilot holes to allow the lag screws to grip the wooden structure while preventing the wood from cracking or splintering while the screw is fastened.

• Machine screws size 1/4-20 hardware is recommended for mounting the EV40. Screw shafts of at least 2” are recommended. The EV40 plastic angle washer hole size is 3/8” in diameter, so ensure that the screw heads are of a larger diameter. Place appropriately sized washers between the screw heads and the EV40 enclosure mounting flanges.

Use a ruler or template to mark the hole locations on the mounting surface. The vertical alignment of the EV40 and SAE J1772™connector holster mounting holes • allows for the convenient mounting of both components onto the same post or wall structure.
EV40 User’s Manual WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (Hardwired) Route the EV40 conduit to a nearby service panel or junction box. Use the included 1/2” trade sized watertight fitting and sealing washer to provide a moisture-resistant seal with the service panel or junction box. If necessary, drill a 7/8” diameter hole to accommodate the liquid tight fitting.
Always turn off input power to the charge station at the circuit breaker panel prior to hardwiring an EV40, or to disconnect an EV40 from the service lines. Likewise, always turn off the the input power to the charge station at the circuit breaker panel before plugging in or unplugging a EV40P from a NEMA socket.
EV40 User’s Manual MAINTENANCE The EV40 Charger requires no periodic maintenance other than occasional cleaning. Warning To reduce the risk of electrical shock or equipment damage, exercise caution while cleaning the unit and the EV charge connector cable. 1. Turn off your charge station at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
The two phases must both measure 120V AC to ground. Do not use the third leg (208V “stinger”). EV40 and EV40P L1, L2, and Safety Ground use 8AWG, 75ºC copper Service Conductors wire.
