ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Turn off input power to your charge station at the circuit
breaker panel before servicing or cleaning the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT: Couper l’alimentation d’entrée à votre station de
recharge sur le panneau de disjoncteur avant de nettoyer ou de réparer
l’appareil.
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.
VENTILATION: Certains véhicules électriques nécessitent un système
de ventilation externe pour éviter l’accumulation de gaz explosifs
ou dangereux lors de la charge à l’intérieur. Consultez le manuel du
propriétaire du véhicule pour déterminer si votre véhicule nécessite une
ventilation quand le recharge en salle.
Vehicles which conform to the SAE-J1772tm standard for
communication can inform the charge station that they require an
exhaust fan. The LCS is not equipped to control ventilation fans. Do
not charge the vehicle with the LCS if ventilation is required.
Véhicules qui sont conformes à la norme SAE-J1772tm de
communication peuvent informer la station de recharge qu’ils
nécessitent un ventilateur d’extraction. Le LCS n’est pas équipé pour
contrôler les ventilateurs. Ne chargez pas le véhicule avec les LCS si la
ventilation est nécessaire.

that may cause undesired operation.
This product has been designed to protect against Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI). However, there are some instances where high powered radio signals or
nearby RF-producing equipment (such as digital phones, RF communications
equipment, etc.) could affect operation.
If interference to your charge station is suspected, we suggest the following
steps be taken before consulting your ClipperCreek Sales and Service
Representative for assistance:
1. Reorient or relocate nearby electrical appliances or equipment during
charging.
2. Turn off nearby electrical appliances or equipment during charging.

autre qu’un centre de service autorisé peut annuler la conformité FCC.
OPERATION
The LCS Electric Vehicle Charging Station is a compact wall-mounted 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 be-
tween the power grid and the PEV. Both hardwired (LCS) and NEMA plug-
equipped (LCS-P) versions are available.
The LCS is very easy to use. Just unwrap the SAE-J1772tm charge cable and plug
the charge coupler rmly into the vehicle’s charge port.
Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge using a special commu-
nication line in the cable. Within a few seconds the green “Charging” light on
the face of the LCS will turn on and the charging cycle will begin. After an av-
erage 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 LCS
will turn off. 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.

Figure 1- Front Panel
THE LCS FRONT PANEL
The front panel on the LCS has four indicator lights:
POWER (yellow), indicates that power is available
to the LCS.
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 LCS 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 LCS
is unable to communicate with the vehicle correctly,
or a safety fault condition has been detected by the
unit.

INSTALLATION: SERVICE CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of re, 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).
ATTENTION: Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, de se connecter
uniquement à un circuit fourni avec le approprié circuit de dérivation
protection maximale contre les surintensités, en conformité avec le Code
National électrique ANSI/NFPA 70 (US) ou Code Canadien de l’électricité
C22.2 NO. 280-13 (Canada).
CAUTION: This is a single-phase device. Do not connect all three
phases of a 3-phase feed !!! You may use any two phases of a three-
phase wye-transformer feed. The center-point of the three phases (usually
used as Neutral) must be grounded somewhere in the system. A Neutral
connection is not required by the LCS. Only Line 1, Line 2, and Ground
are required, as shown in Figure 3.
ATTENTION: Il s’agit d’un appareil monophasé. Ne pas relier tous
les trois phases d’une alimentation triphasée!!! Vous pouvez utiliser
les deux phases d’un triphasé en étoile transformateur alimentation. Le
point central des triphasé (généralement utilisé comme Neutre) doit être
mis à la terre quelque part dans le système. Une connexion Neutre n’est
pas exigée par la LCS. Seulement ligne 1, ligne 2, et Mise à la Terre sont
nécessaires, comme le montre la Figure 3.
CAUTION: The two phases used must each measure 120V to Neutral.
Earth Ground must be connected to Neutral at only one point, usually at
the service entry breaker panel.
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.
