Caution This symbol means be careful. Yo u ar e c ap a bl e o f doing something that might result in damage to equipment.
Warning This symbol means danger. Yo u a re in a s it u at io n that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any electrical equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and standard practices for preventing accidents.
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 your handbook or on labels affixed to your conductive charge station:
Note This means pay particular attention. Notes contain helpful
suggestions.
Safety Guidelines
• Use this charge station to charge electric vehicles equipped with a
conductive charge port only. See the vehicle’s owner’s handbook to determine if the vehicle is equipped with a conductive charge port.
• Make certain the charge station’s supply cable is positioned so it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer to 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 with a visibly damaged supply cable
or charge station. Contact your Service Representative for service immediately. Refer to the Customer Support section in this manual for information on the Service Representative in your area.

Warning: Turn off input power to your charge station at the circuit breaker panel before servicing or cleaning the unit.
VENTILATION: Some electric vehicles require an external ventilation system to prevent the accumulation of hazardous or explosive gases when charging indoors. Check the vehicle’s owner’s handbook to determine if your vehicle requires ventilation during indoor charging.
Those vehicles which follow the SAE J1772 standard for communica­tion with the charging station can inform the CS-40 that they require an exhaust fan. The CS-40 is not equipped to control ventilation fans. If an exhaust fan is requested, the CS-40 will not charge the vehicle. If this function is required, ask your ClipperCreek representative for information on other products which have the exhaust fan control feature.
Caution: DO NOT charge your vehicle indoors if it requires ventilation. Contact your Service Representative for information.

Note
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). 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.
Caution Changes or modifications to this product by other than an authorized service facility could void FCC compliance.

The CS-40 Electric Vehicle Charging Station is very easy to use. Just remove the charging connector from its holder, and plug it into the vehicle’s charge port. If there is a mechanical latch that holds the connector firmly while charging, be sure the latch has “clicked” into place. Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge, the Green CHARGING light will come on, and charging will begin. After an average driving day, it will require a few hours to recharge completely. Charging overnight is the most convenient way to ensure the vehicle’s full range will be available for the next day.
If the vehicle has stopped charging, the Green CHARGING light will be out. Remove the cable and you’re ready to use the vehicle. If the charging is still in progress, first push the button on the CS-40’s front panel. The charging light will start blinking. Now you can remove the connector.
OPERATION
The CS-40 Electric Vehicle Charging Station is a conductive charge station that provides the electric vehicle (EV) user with a safe and manageable link between the power grid and the electric vehicle.
Figure 1. The CS-40 Front Panel
Front Panel
The front panel has a GREEN and a RED light to indicate the status of the CS-40. The operational state of the unit can be known just by looking at the panel lights, and comparing them with table 1 on page 4.
In Case of Difficulty
ClipperCreek recognizes that this Charging Station will be heavily relied upon to charge your electric vehicle for daily transportation needs. Therefore, every effort will be made to restore service should problems arise.
In the event of a problem, charging will stop and the Red PROTECTION light will come on. If this happens, please try the two simple steps below before calling your Service Representative.
1. Remove the cable connector from the vehicle socket. The Red PROTECTION light may go out. If it does go out, plug the connector back into the socket, and see if charging begins normally.
2. If the Red PROTECTION light does not go out when the connector is re­moved, be sure the connector is removed from the vehicle socket and switch off power at the circuit breaker feeding power to the CS-40. Wait a few seconds and switch the circuit breaker back on again. If the Red PROTECTION light does not come back on, re-connect the cable to the vehicle. Charging should begin normally. If charging does not begin, or if the Red PROTECTION light comes
back on, call Service Representative.
The information gained by the above steps will help the Service Representative decide what the problem is, and how best to get your CS-40 operational again as quickly as possible.
