IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read these instructions and the charging instructions in your vehicle
owner’s handbook before charging your electric vehicle.
The following symbols may be found in this manual or on labels axed to the
charge station:
NOTE: This means pay particular attention. Notes contain helpful
suggestions.
CAUTION: This symbol means be careful. You are capable of doing
something that might result in damage to the equipment.
WARNING: This symbol means danger. This is a situation that could
cause bodily injury. Before working on any electrical equipment, be
aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and standard
practices for preventing accidents.
Instructions Pertaining to a Risk of Fire or Electric Shock
When using the the ECS, basic electrical safety precautions should be followed:
• Use this charge station to charge electric vehicles equipped with an
SAE J1772 charge port only. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to
determine if the vehicle is equipped with the correct charge port.
• Make certain the charge station SAE J1772 charge cable is positioned
so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• This product contains no user serviceable parts. Consult the Customer
Support section in this manual for service information. Do not attempt
to repair or service the charge station yourself.
• Do not operate your charge station if it or the SAE J1772 charge cable
is physically open, cracked, frayed, or otherwise visibly damaged.
Contact your Service Representative for service immediately. Consult
the Customer Support section in this manual for information on the
Service Representative in your area.
• Not for use in commercial garages where a COMMERCIAL GARAGE
is dened as a facility (or portion thereof) used for the repair of
internal combustion vehicles in which the area may be classied due to
ammable vapors being present (such as from gasoline.)
• Do not place ngers inside of the coupler end of the SAE J1772 charge
cable.
• Do not allow children to operate this device. Adult supervision is
mandatory when children are in proximity to a charge station that is in
use.

230V plugs are specically designed for occasional relocation, such as
moving from one home to another home
.
•
For personal safety, the circuit breaker MUST be turned o prior to
plugging in AND/OR unplugging 230V appliances (including this EVSE).
•
A dedicated NEMA outlet is highly recommended. NEMA outlets
wear out over time particularly when repeated insertion and removal of
NEMA plugs occur. A worn outlet can cause the plug connection to
overheat and become a re hazard. It is recommended that plug-in EVSE
remain plugged in.
• Have an electrician verify all wiring to the outlet is correct and in
compliance with local code requirements before connecting the EVSE.
• Do Not use this EVSE with an extension cord or wall plug adapter. Plug
this EVSE directly into the outlet.
• Ensure that the EVSE is mounted to the wall or placed on a support so it
does not hang from the outlet. Outlets are not designed to support the
weight of the EVSE.
Addtional Safety Information
WARNING: Turn o power to the EVSE at the circuit breaker panel
before moving, servicing or cleaning the unit.
NOTE: VENTILATION - Some electric vehicles require an external
ventilation system to prevent the accumulation of hazardous or
explosive gases when charging indoors. Consult the vehicle owner’s
manual to determine if your vehicle requires ventilation during indoor
charging.
NOTE: Vehicles which conform to the SAE J1772 standard for
communication can inform the charge station that they require an
exhaust fan. The ECS is not equipped to control ventilation fans. Do
not charge the vehicle with the ECS if ventilation is required.
CAUTION: DO NOT CHARGE a vehicle indoors if it requires
ventilation. Contact your Service Representative for information.
Save these instructions for future reference.
THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD

OPERATION
The ECS Electric Vehicle Charging Station is a Portable charging station that
provides the Plug-in Hybrid or Battery Electric Vehicle (together Plug-In Electric
Vehicles, or “PEV”) user with a safe and manageable link between the power grid
and the PEV.
The ECS is very easy to use. Just unwrap the SAE J1772 charge cable, insert the
service power plug into any 230V wall socket and plug the vehicle connector
rmly into the vehicle’s charge port.
Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge using a special
communication line in the cable. Within a few seconds the green “Charging” light
on the face of the ECS will turn on and the charging cycle will begin. After an
average driving day the vehicle battery pack will require several hours to recharge
completely. Charging overnight is the most convenient way to maintain healthy
batteries and ensure the vehicle’s full range will be available for the next day.
When the vehicle has stopped charging the green “Charging” light on the ECS will
turn o. To remove the charge coupler once a charge cycle has completed (or to
interrupt a charge in progress) press and hold down the latch release lever on the
charge coupler handle then unplug the charge coupler from the vehicle charge port.
When disconnecting the ECS, always remove the vehicle connector rst, then
remove the service power plug from the wall socket. When not in use, the cord
may be rewrapped around the ECS and the entire assembly secured with the nylon
buckle strap.
If charging always takes place in the same location, such as the home garage at
night, the ECS may be left plugged into the wall socket without damage.

Ground Monitor Front Panel
THE ECS FRONT PANEL-
Ground (Earth) Monitor
The front panel on the ECS has four indicator
lights:
POWER (amber), indicates that power is
available to the ECS.
CHARGING (green), indicates that the
vehicle is requesting a charge and AC power is
currently applied to the vehicle.
POWER FAULT (red), indicates that the
ECS is not wired correctly. The problem can
be due to improper grounding or a missing
Earth Ground. The wiring should be examined
by a qualied electrician.
CHARGING FAULT (red), indicates that
the ECS is unable to communicate with the
vehicle correctly, or a safety fault condition
has been detected by the unit.

Isolation Monitor Front Panel
THE ECS FRONT PANEL-
Isolation (Insulation) Monitor
The front panel on the ECS has 4 indicator lights with a distinct label for each.
An ECS may be congured from the factory with either a ground (earth) monitor
circuit or an isolation (insulation) monitor circuit. Refer to the front panel
overlay or serial number label to distinguish which circuit the ECS is congured
with.
The front panel description on this page applies to an ECS congured with an
isolation monitor, as indicated by the presense of an amber “Ground Present”
indicatior light.
POWER (amber), indicates that power is
available.
CHARGING (green), indicates power has
been applied to the vehicle.
GROUND (EARTH) PRESENT
(amber), indicates the status of the ECS
isolation monitor. Should there be less
than approximately 50KOhms of measured
resistance to ground (earth), the LED turns
on. When the resistance to ground (earth)
exceeds 50KOhms, this LED turns o.
The ECS will charge the vehicle in either
condition.
CHARGING FAULT (red), indicates that
the ECS is unable to communicate with the
vehicle correctly.
