This user guide describes the operation and functions of the EVX100 Electric Vehicle Charge point Adaptor when used with the MFT-X1 multi-function tester to test EVSE units (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).
Plug in the EVX to the MFT before connecting to the EVSE to be tested. Similarly, disconnect from the EVSE before unplugging the EVX and MFT. Do not connect USB cable when EVX is connected to EVSE. Use only Megger approved adapters with this product. www.megger.com EVX100...
Safety Warnings and Standards No user serviceable parts are inside the equipment. Refer repairs to Megger approved service centres. This equipment contains a lithium-ion battery. Do not heat or dispose of the product in a fire. At the end of the equipment’s life dispose of it according to local regulations for ...
The following list explains the EV charger status codes reported by the MFT-X1 when using the EVX100. Most of these codes will only appear momentarily during a tripping test sequence. For normal operation with the MFT-X1 switched on and the EVX100 connected to a working charger the EV charger will be in state C2.
Operation 4. Operation NOTE : The EVX100 MUST be charged before use else the unit will not operate.This is required as international shipping prevents Li-ion battery operated equipment being shipped with more than 30% charge. Designed for testing Mode 3 AC electric vehicles, the Electric Vehicle Charge-point Adaptor, EVX100, is a compact and portable unit, designed to be fitted directly to the front of the MFT-X1.
Holding down the button on the top of the EVX100 will also show battery status. Charging the EVX100 NOTE : The EVX100 will only charge over an ambient temperature range of 0 ºC to 45 ºC. Charging the EVX100 battery status is performed using a type C USB cable.
Do not force the adaptor, but be aware that it is a snug fit. 2. Connect the EVX connector plug to the EV charger. The EVX100 is now ready to establish communications with the EV Charger. 3. Turn the left rotary dial on the MFT-X1 to the Voltage setting.
(State C). MFT-X1 connection errors After switching on the MFT-X1 the EVX100 LED continues to rapidly flash Yellow for more than 30seconds, the EVX has not established connection to the MFT.
Once in the disabled state, the charger is sent a state A, B and C to set it back to a charging state. To test the PE or CP error response: 1. Ensure the MFT-X1, and EVX100 are in voltage mode and the MFT is displaying State C2. 2. Press the Hot key 1 to select PE or CP error.
Loop impedance is tested in the same way as on the standard MFT-X1 without the EVX adaptor. For full details of loop impedance testing refer the full MFT-X1 user manual. The EVX100 limits functionality to those tests suitable for use on an EV charger, as below: www.megger.com...
Testing with the EVX Hot key options available with the EVX100: Hot key options available are: Hot key 1: Shows the loop impedance value for the connection selected on hot key 5 Zmax: Shows the latest loop impedance value and also the highest value...
NOTE : Both of these warnings will inhibit the MFT-X1 from performing a loop measurement. NOTE : The L-N swapped warning and inhibit can be disabled in SETTINGS for the MFT-X1. www.megger.com EVX100...
Image loop test on L-PE Should an RCD or RDC trip during the measurement mode, the EV charger will lose power and switch off. The EVX100 will automatically attempt to reset the EV charger by sending the Status sequence: C, B, A, B, C.
Testing with the EVX Testing the RCD/RDC The EVX100 offers automatic test sequences for RCD and RDC testing. If only a part of the sequence needs to be run, the AUTO sequence can be modified in SETTINGS RCD tab – refer to the full MFT-X1 user manual.
For measurement specification refer to the MFT-X1 user guide. See megger.com/mft-x1 NOTE : Uses the Megger Confidence Meter to measure the supply source impedance of circuits protected with an RCD rated ≥30 mA when there are only two connections possible. When a neutral is available the three-wire test will provide a quicker, more accurate result.
Refer to www.megger.com/support Cleaning Should the EVX100 or the charge plug or cable require cleaning they can be wiped down using a damp cloth. Never clean the adaptor or plug when connected to any measurement circuit.
3. Pack the instrument carefully to prevent damage in transit. 4. Before the instrument is sent to Megger, freight paid, make sure that the returns label is attached or that the RA number is clearly marked on the outside of the package and on any correspondence.
