AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: Turn off power to the EVSE at the circuit breaker panel before moving, servicing or cleaning the unit. WARNING: Always turn off input power to the EVSE at the circuit breaker panel prior to plugging into or unplugging from a wall socket. AVERTISSEMENT: Couper l’alimentation d’entrée à votre station de recharge sur le panneau de disjoncteur avant de nettoyer ou de réparer l’appareil.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual FCC INFORMATION This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This product has been designed to protect against Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual OPERATION The AmazingETM EVSE is a compact, travel-friendly EVSE that provides the Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) user with a safe and manageable link between the power grid and the PEV. Plug the EVSE into the wall. Unwrap the charge cable and plug the charge coupler firmly into the vehicle’s charge port. Do not unplug from the wall while the vehicle is still connected.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual Figure 1- Front Panel THE AmazingETM FRONT PANEL The front panel on the AmazingETM has two indicator lights: Power/Charging (green), indicates the EVSE ain ON and ready to use. Fault (red), indicates that the receptacle is not wired correctly, the EVSE is unable to communicate with the vehicle correctly, or a safety fault condition has been detected by unit. The problem can be due to improper grounding or missing Earth Ground.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual INSTALLATION: SERVICE CONNECTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with the appropriate maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (US) or the Canadian Electric Code C22.2 NO. 280-13 (Canada).
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual ATTENTION: Les deux phases utilisées doivent mesurer chaque 120V à Neutre. Mise à la terre doit être connecté au Neutre en un seul point, généralement à l’entrée panneau de disjoncteurs de service. CAUTION: If a 240V 3-Phase feed is from a Delta- connected secondary, the leg used must have a center-tap. That tap must be Grounded. Only the two phases either side of the center-tapped leg can be used. See Figure 4.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual Notice that L1, L2, & Ground are labeled on each diagram. Those transformer outputs correspond to the same inputs on the EVSE. Also, each of the two 3-phase diagrams shows an L3 output, which is not used. Do not connect all three phases of a 3-phase secondary to the EVSE. This is a single-phase device. The Neutral at the service panel must be connected to Earth Ground somewhere in the system on any of the three connection arrangements.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual The following diagrams illustrate the three service transformer secondary connections most common in North America.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual NOTE: With a wye-connected secondary, any two of the legs can be used to provide 208V to the AmazingETM. For example, L1 & L2, or L1 & L3, or L2 & L3. Leave the unused leg open. Do not connect it to a Neutral bar, or to Ground. Be sure the center point is Earth Ground somewhere in the system. NOTE: Avec un transformateur étoile-connecté secondaire, deux des lignes peut être utilisé pour fournir 208V à la AmazingETM.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual CAUTION: With the delta connection, one leg must be center-tapped. Only the two phases on either side of the center tap can be used. The two phases must both measure 120V to Neutral. The third line (L3) of the delta is 208V, with respect to Neutral, and is sometimes referred to as a “stinger.” Do not use this third line! Consult the transformer manufacturer’s literature to be sure the single leg can supply the required power.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual MOUNTING PROCEDURES Locate the wall mounting position of the AmazingETM: • On the AmazingETM, the NEMA plug head is connected by nearly one foot of cable (including the plug head) to the top of the EVSE. The EVSE must be positioned such that this plug can safely be inserted into a wall-mounted NEMA socket.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual For Hollow-Wall Construction Mount: • Place the unit so both mounting brackets can take advantage of solid structural framing inside of the wall or a strong wall surface. See A in Figure 5. • Use proper anchoring hardware such as drywall toggles or molly bolts if unable to mount hardware into a solid surface. See B in Figure 5.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual Figure 6 - Back Mounting Screw Slots of AmazingETM 7.36” (187mm) .21” (5.23mm) Machine screw size #10 hardware is recommended for mounting the EVSE. Screw lengths of at least 2” are recommended. The EVSE mounting slots are .21”(5.23mm) wide, so the diameter of the screw shaft should be no larger than .19” (5mm). The screw heads must be between .24”-.40” (6-10mm) to fit between the enclosure and the slot.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual RECEPTACLE INSTRUCTIONS The AmazingETM is fitted with a NEMA 14-30 plug. The plug extends from the top of the EVSE enclosure. Regulations limit this plug to a maximum of 12 inches in length. For this reason, the EVSE must be mounted below the NEMA receptacle and must also be located within 12 inches of it. With the NEMA 14-30 configuration, the ground pin is located at the top of the plug. With this in mind, it is recommended that a 14-30 receptacle be oriented accordingly.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product must be grounded. If this product should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The AmazingETM is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual MOVING & STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS Always turn off input power to the EVSE at the circuit breaker panel prior to plugging into or unplugging from a NEMA socket. When transporting the EVSE, do not lift or carry the entire unit by the charge cord. Likewise, do not lift or carry the entire unit by the NEMA plug. The EVSE has a non-operational storage temperature range of -40°C to +80°C (-40°F to +176°F).
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual MAINTENANCE The AmazingETM requires no periodic maintenance other than occasional cleaning. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or equipment damage, exercise caution while cleaning the unit and the EV charge connector cable. 1. Turn off the EVSE at the circuit breaker. 2. Unplug the EVSE from the receptacle. 3. Clean the EVSE using a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
AmazingETM EVSE User’s Manual SPECIFICATIONS Line Input Power: Voltage & Wiring: 240V AC single-phase- L1, L2 and Safety Ground 208V AC 3-phase wye-connected- any 2 phases and Safety Ground 240V AC 3-phase, delta-connected. With center- tap on one leg, must use only the two phases on either side of the center-tap. The two phases must both measure 120V AC to the ground.
