CS 3-Phase Installation Manual
FEATURES
The following features are supported by the CS 3-Phase:
Personal Protection System:
Ground Fault protection with
Self-Testing and Auto-Reclosure, no manual resetting or testing is
necessary.
Ground Monitoring Circuit:
Continuously checks 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. This feature helps ensure
that the vehicle will be charged and ready for use when needed.
If the problem is immediately sensed a second time, the unit 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 turn on. 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 needs
to be installed (purchased separately). The local utility may install
a special Time of Use meter. Many utilities plan to give very low
rates to those EV owners who charge in the late evening. If a timer
is installed, it is unnecessary to wait until the late evening to plug
the CS 3-Phase's connector into the vehicle. Even though the
vehicle may immediately request a charge, the timer will cause the
CS 3-Phase to delay energizing the cable until the off-peak hours
when most electric utilities have light demand. With this feature,
the Green CHARGING light will blink while the vehicle is waiting
for the timer to allow charging. If this feature is desired, please call
the local utility to be sure the Time of Use meter is available before
having the timer installed. Technical information to help connect
the timer to the CS 3-Phase can be found in the section titled Load
Management Inputs on page 19 in this manual.
