ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY
The Level 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Station is listed by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) under Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). The
compact physical design of your Charging Station takes up a minimum
amount of wall space, providing the greatest flexibility for mounting locations.
This device incorporates multiple levels of safety for the user, the vehicle
and the charging equipment. It conforms to all industry standards and
recommended practices.
FEATURES
• SAE J1772 Compliant - Ensures compatibility with all battery electric
TM
vehicles (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) conforming to
this standard.
• Easy to read user interface.
• Self-Testing Sequence - Upon energizing the Charging Station, a
self-test will occur to ensure that the unit is working properly. This
sequence will also occur each time the Charge Connector is plugged into
the vehicle to ensure a proper connection, prior to initiating charging.
• Auto-Restart - Allows charging to resume after fault condition, up to 3
times at 15 minutes intervals. If fault condition clears, no user intervention
is required.
• Ground Monitoring Circuit - Constantly checking for presence of proper
safety ground.
Contactor Monitoring Circuit - Checks the integrity of the AC charging
•
path before and after charging.
• Cold Load Pickup - Time delayed and randomized (2-15 minutes)
re-energizing of Charging Station following power outage. This feature
protects electrical grid from overload from simultaneous re-energizing of
chargers. Charging will automatically resume after the randomized delay.
• Excessive Cord Strain Detection - On detection of excessive pressure
on Charge Connector Cord, the EVSE de-energizes the cord.
• NEMA Type 4 Enclosure - Water-tight, dust-tight and sleet resistant
enclosure protects against exposure to weather.
