EVSE-Tester Manual

2 Manual Conventions This guide provides information and instructions for the safe operation of the EVSE tester. For your own safety and protection from injury, you should familiarize yourself with the safety instructions and comply with them precisely. For damage caused by failure to observe this guide, the hse-electronics GmbH assumes no liability. This manual is part of the devices documentation and an integral part of the EVSE tester. It is constantly kept at the EVSE tester, so it is available when needed. A basic requirement for safe handling and trouble-free operation of the EVSE-tester is the knowledge of the basic safety instructions and the safety regulations. Moreover, the currently valid site rules and regulations for accident prevention must be observed. The present short instructions contain important information to safely operating the EVSE Tester and is therefore to be observed by every person of the target group. The safety notes in these operating instructions are structured as follows: ATTENTION! The signal word “ATTENTION!" indicates the procedures to follow in order to avoid the loss of data and damage to the equipment. CAUTION! You are alerted to certain procedures with the signal word "CAUTION", which must be followed to avoid personal injury, severe loss of data, or extensive damage. Safety instructions are to be meticulously followed! Handle with care to avoid physical injury, damage to property, and accidents! Structure and meaning of miscellaneous indicators: Handy advice on maintenance and handling of the device or system.

EVSE-Tester Manual

3 Appropriate utilization The EVSE-Tester was built according to applied safety- and technical norm. Yet, improper use may leads to severe dangers for the user or thirds, or malfunctioning of the device and damage to other property. As a testing environment for simulating and analyzing data of an E-Vehicle during the process of charging the EVSE-Tester can be plugged to a charging station instead of an actual E-Vehicle in order to simulate said. Operating the EVSE-Tester requires general safety knowledge in handling electric devices and the charging process of E-Vehicles according to Norm IEC 61851. The procedure of the charging process itself is NOT being displayed in this document explicitly. The EVSE-Tester is meant for industrial usage in science, development and field operation only. Part of the ordinary field of application also accounts: • The usage according to the performance restrictions, listed in the technical Data. • The usage in the manner as is depicted and described in this abbreviated manual. Operation and usage outside of these restrictions is improper. Damage resulting from improper operation or usage will not be covered by hse-electronics GmbH. The risk is solely carried by the operator. The operator is not permitted to modify, dis- or reassemble the device in any way, unless specifically and written permitted by hse-electronics GmbH. The EVSE-Tester is to be placed at designated surfaces only. For transportation purposes the designated carrying handle is to be used. Avoid rough contact and sudden movements of the device at all time..

EVSE-Tester Manual

4 EVSE-Tester Hardware By developing the EVSE-Tester, hse-Electronics GmbH introduced a system for emulating E-Vehicles (EV), that allows for comfortable testing of charging stations. To conductively charge an EV at a charging station there has to be a charging supply line and a data connection between the two components. EVs and charging stations communicate via a data line, integrated in the supply line. (CP = Control Point). As a carrier for data between EV and EVSE a 30 MHz modem signal, modulated to a 1 KHz PWM-Signal, is being used.

4.1 Composition, Connector, Buttons and Displays The hardware composition of the EVSE-Tester is divided in two groups:  

EV-Battery simulation via charging resistors. The operation- and analysis units are contained within the front area of the device.

Caution! Under no circumstances open the devices case! Lethal danger through conductive parts! Warranty expires immediately!

4.2 PC The EVSE-Tester is being operated via an inbuilt PC (for technical data see annex.) The operating system is Windows 7. The operation of the PC is carried out by the touch display of the LCD-monitor and a keyboard connected to the USB port.

4.3 Illuminated On-Off-Switch An illuminated On Off Switch can be found at the front side of the case. Turning On: During the booting process and the operation of the EVSE-Tester lights are turned on at all time. Turning Off: After triggering the switch, lights are flashing. The PC (Windows and all executed software) and the internal hardware of the EVSE-Tester is being shut down in respective order.

4.4 Battery Operations The AC-EVSE-Tester has a built-in battery for ordinary operation of the system off the line. The battery is being charged whether the device is turned-On or Off. Charging is signaled by flashing of the On-Off-Switch. At 100% charge the device can run for approximately 90 minutes.

4.5 EV Charging Connector In the EVSE-Tester COMBO II Inlets are used. Caution! When plugging the Charging Connector always connect the EVSE-Tester first, then the charging station! Lethal danger through conductive parts! Technical Specification of the Connectors: N/L1/L2/L3 je 6 mm2 , 250V, 32A CP/PP je 0,75 mm2 PE 6 mm2

4.6 USB 2.0 The USB 2.0-Port allows for connecting of Mouses, Keyboards and USB-Sticks.

4.7 230V AC Supply Voltage Connector The ordinary operation functions by a 230V-AC-IEC Connector found on the front side of the case. Caution! When plugging the EVSE-Tester to the 230V-AC grid, always plug the EVSE-Tester first, then the 230V-Source. Lethal danger through conductive parts!
