A NACS to Type 1 converter is included. 1.2 EV45–T2 Product Overview The FLIR EV45-T2 is designed to test level 1 or level 2 EV charging stations and AC wall outlets in commercial and residential installations outside the US.
Introduction 1.4 Glossary of Terms EVSE Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (charging station) Control Pilot (CP) A pulse width modulated (PWM) signal that allows communi- cation between the EV and charging station. The CP informs the EV of the maximum current that can supplied by the charger.
Introduction 1.5 About the Proximity Pilot and Control Pilot Signals The Proximity Pilot (PP) and Control Pilot (CP) signals (on the charging plug) allow electric vehicles and chargers to communicate. The Proximity Pilot informs the charger that a vehicle is, or is not, connected. For Type 1 connectors, the PP detects the EV connection and whether the connection latch is secured.
Safety A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the product or the equipment under test. WARNING To prevent the risk of electric shock and personal injury: •...

Type 1 end connects to the charging station. Figure 3.8 NACS to Type 1 Converter. Supplied with the EV45–NACS. See descriptions below.
Battery Power The EV45 is powered by four (4) AA alkaline batteries, housed in the rear compartment. The compartment is secured by two screws at the top of the compartment. See Section 8, Maintenance, for battery replacement instructions. To switch ON the EV45, turn the rotary switch to the RDY (ready) position on the left, if the charger is ventilated.
Operation 5.1 Preparation for Testing a Commercial Charger When testing a commercial charging station, you’ll need an account with a mobile charging application to activate the charger. Typically the charger will have a printed QR code that you scan with a mobile device through the application.
Operation 5.3 Protective Earth (PE) PRE-TEST The EV45 must pass the PE PRE-TEST before further testing can be per- formed. This safety feature checks for dangerous voltages on the protective earth conductor of an EV charging system. 1. Connect the EV45 to the charging station, and activate the charger, as ex- plained above.

Operation 6. Three seconds after the test passes, the display will show the maximum current capability of the connected charger, the phase line(s) detected, and the Control Pilot state, as shown in Figure 5.4, below. For this step, the state should be B, which indicates that the charger is connected but not charging.
Operation 5.4 TEST 1: PE ERROR SIMULATION This test simulates an opened Protective Earth (PE) conductor in the charging station. To run this test, you must first pass the PE PRE-TEST, as described in Section 5.3. NOTE Do not move the switch to the CHG position before the maximum charger current is indicated, otherwise the display will show dashes (—...
Operation 5.5 TEST 2: E-STATE ERROR SIMULATION This test simulates a charging station Control Pilot (CP) error, interrupting the charging process. To run this test, you must first pass the PE PRE-TEST, as described in Section 5.3. NOTE Do not move the switch to the CHG position before the maximum charger current is indicated, otherwise the display will show dashes (—...
Operation 5.6 TEST 3: RCD/CCID CHECK CAUTION This test will intentionally trip the circuit breaker in the charging station. Do not perform this test without permission, or if you cannot reset the breaker after the test. To run this test, you must first pass the PE PRE-TEST, as described in Section 5.3.
Page 26
Operation NOTE After each test, switch OFF the EV45, disconnect it from the charger and perform the PRE- TEST again before performing another test. #NAS100248; r. AA/103946/103947; en-US...
DMM to the EV45. The DM286 is shown in Figure 6.1 for illustrative purposes. If you purchased a kit (EV-KIT-1 or EV-KIT-2), it includes the FLIR DM286 DMM. The DM286 is also available separately, or another DMM will work in a similar way.
