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.

CAUTION: DO NOT CHARGE a vehicle indoors if it requires

ventilation. Contact your Service Representative for 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). 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.

ATTENTION: Modications apportées à ce produit par quiconque

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 qualied

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.
