Page 14: Cold Load Pickup
Making the best use of the Off-Peak Charging feature will require the following: 1. Installation of a Time-Of-Use meter by the electric utility. 2. Installation of a clock/timer to allow the CS-100 to charge only during Off-Peak hours. 3. Connecting the timer’s control wire to the High/Off pin on the 4-position terminal block. -
Page 15: External Error Indication
CS-100 User Manual External Error Indication: Whenever the Red PROTECTION light is on, a relay on the board will provide a contact closure that can be used to remotely indicate that a problem exists. A fleet vehicle yard, for example, could use this feature to light a lamp or ring a bell in the main office, indicating that a vehicle has a charging problem. -

3 phases (usually used as Neutral) must be grounded somewhere in the system. A current-carrying Neutral is not needed by the CS-100. Only LINE 1, LINE 2, and GROUND are required, as shown in Figure 3. CAUTION: The two phases used must each measure 120V to Neutral. - Page 17 CS-100 User Manual Notice that L1, L2 & Ground are labeled on each diagram. These transformer outputs correspond to the same inputs on the CS-100. 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 CS.

If not, the charging cable or vehicle socket may be defective or the vehicle is not requesting a charge. If the CS-100 detects an internal failure, the Diagnostic LED will blink at a faster rate. One of the other LEDs may also be on and indicate the nature of the problem, such as an inoperative Ground Fault circuitry or a missing Service Ground. -

Page 29: Load Management Inputs
CS-100 User Manual LOAD MANAGEMENT INPUTS If the CS-100 has been configured for Off-Peak Charging, the Green CHARGING light may blink after the EV charge cable is plugged into the vehicle. If the vehicle does not charge in this mode it may indicate that a timer or other device has been connected to the Hi/Off input on the 4-position terminal block. -
