Le LCS n’est pas équipé pour contrôler les ventilateurs. Ne chargez pas le véhicule avec les LCS si la ventilation est nécessaire. CAUTION: DO NOT CHARGE a vehicle indoors if it requires ventilation.
Within a few seconds the green “Charging” light on the face of the LCS will turn on and the charging cycle will begin. After an av- erage driving day the vehicle battery pack will require several hours to recharge completely.

Notice that L1, L2, & Ground are labeled on each diagram. Those transformer outputs correspond to the same inputs on the LCS. 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 LCS.

With a wye-connected secondary, any two of the legs can be used to provide 208V to the LCS. 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.

Only the two phases on either side of the center tap can be used. The two phases must both measure 120V to Neutral.
LCS. No “Neutral” point is available to be connected to ground for ground-fault protection. The LCS will not allow the contactor to close if it does not sense the presence of a Ground wire connected to a “Neutral” point on the transformer secondary.

Machine screw size #10 hardware is recommended for mounting the LCS. Screw shafts of at least 2” are recommended. The LCS mounting holes are 3/16” in diameter, so ensure that the screw heads do not exceed this size. Place appropriately sized washers between the screw heads and the LCS enclosure mounting flanges.
• The vertical alignment of the LCS and SAE-J1772™ connector holster mounting holes allows for the convenient mounting of both components onto the same post or wall structure. For example, the holster may be mounted directly above the LCS.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (Hardwired LCS) Route the LCS conduit to a nearby service panel or junction box. Use the included ¼” trade size watertight fitting to provide a moisture-resistant seal with the service panel or junction box. If necessary, drill a 1/2” diameter hole to accommodate the liquid-tight fitting or use the included 1/4”...
The plug extends from the top of the LCS enclosure. Regulations limit this plug to a maximum of 12 inches in length. For this reason, the LCS-P must be mounted below the NEMA receptacle and must also be located within 12 inches of it.
électricien qualifié. MOVING & STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS Note that both the hardwired LCS and the plug-in LCS-P are intended for fixed installations. For mounting requirements, consult the Mounting Procedures section of the Installation Instructions in this manual.
