ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY

Leviton's Level 1 120 Portable Charger is listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) under Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).The compact physical
design of your Portable Charger takes up a minimum amount of wall space,
providing the greatest flexibility for mounting locations or portable storage.
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.
The Portable Charger requires a 15A or 20A, 120VAC circuit via three-
pronged wall outlet.
For maximum performance, it is strongly recommended that you use a
dedicated circuit for the Portable Charger. This means there should be no
other major appliances connected to the same circuit. If it is not a dedicated
circuit, the current rating of the outlet circuit breaker could be exceeded and
cause it to trip or open. For non-dedicated circuits, the Portable Charger can
be used in the default reduced level mode, but the charging time is increased.

FEATURES

• SAE J1772 TM Compliant - Ensures compatibility with all battery electric
vehicles (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) conforming to
this standard.
• Easy to read user interface.
• Self-Testing Sequence - Upon plugging in the Portable Charger, 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
charge port to ensure a proper connection; prior to initiating charging.
Default 7 Amp Charging - Charging will always initiate at 7 amps,
•
minimizing risk of overloading a non-dedicated circuit.
• 12 Amp "Accelerated" Charging - User selectable increased charge
rate available when plugged into a circuit dedicated for use with one
device.
• Ground Monitoring Circuit - Constantly checking for presence of proper
safety ground.
• Contactor Monitoring Circuit - Constantly checking the integrity of AC
charging path.
• Auto-Restart - In the event of power outage or temporary fault condition,
allows charging to resume without intervention.
• NEMA Type 4 Enclosure - Protects against exposure to weather.
• Portable Unit - Easy to transport for charging anywhere.
• Compact Design - Convenient cord-stowage and carry handle.
• Excessive Cable Strain Detection - On detection of excessive pressure
on Charge Cord the Portable Charger issues a warning and de-energizes
the Charge Cord.
• UL listed.

Charging Your Vehicle
Using the Level 1 - 120 Portable Charger to charge your electric vehicle is as
simple as plugging in any appliance.
1. Connect the Portable Charger to an Electrical Outlet:
The Portable Charger can be plugged into any grounded 15A or 20A,
120VAC electrical outlet. The Power LED will illuminate whenever
electricity is flowing to the Portable Charger.

Power Up Sequence

• Both the Charging and Fault LEDs will illuminate momentarily and then
turn OFF. The Portable Charger will initiate a self-test sequence.
• The Fault LED will illuminate momentarily indicating the self-test is in
progress. When the Fault LED turns off and only the Power LED is on, the
Portable Charger is ready for use.
NOTE: DO NOT let the Portable Charger hang from the AC Supply
Plug. Hanging the Portable Charger on a suitable hook is recommended
where applicable (see figure below). Ensure that the Portable Charger is
