CS-100 User Manual

FEATURES

The following features are supported by the CS-100:

Personnel Protection System:

Ground Fault protection with
Self-Testing and Auto-Reclosure (see below), no manual resetting
or testing is necessary.

Ground Monitoring Circuit:

Constantly checking for the
presence of a Safety Ground connection.

Auto-Reclosure:

If a problem occurs that interrupts charging, the
unit will automatically clear all error indications after 5 minutes,
and attempt to begin charging again. If the problem is immediately
sensed a second time, it will wait another 5 minutes and try again.
This process will repeat several times, at which point power
will be removed and no further attempt will be made. The Red
PROTECTION light on the front panel will be on.
This feature helps ensure that the vehicle will be charged and
ready for use when needed. Temporary problem indications
such as ground-faults or utility power surges can be overcome
automatically without the need for the user to manually re-initiate
charging.

Off-Peak Charging:

For this feature, an external timer must be
installed (purchased separately). A utility may also install a special
Time-of-Use meter to provide special rates for Off-Peak Charging.
If a timer is installed, it is not necessary to wait until late evening
to plug the CS-100 charge connector into the vehicle. The CS-100
may be connected to the vehicle at any time. Even though the
vehicle may immediately request a charge, the timer will cause
the CS-100 to delay energizing the cable until the specified time
period. With this feature, the Green CHARGING light will blink
while the vehicle waits for the timer to allow charging.
