5 Using the DLEV1

5.1 Functions of the DLEV1 Adaptor

There are two main functions of the Test Adaptor:

• The DLEV1 adaptor is designed to simulate connection of an
electrical vehicle to the charging station under test by simulating
the communication signals electric vehicles produce when
connected. Connection of the test adaptor to a charging station
triggers the charging process when the correct Control Pilot
(CP) state is selected (A, B, C or D) in conjunction with the
Proximity Pilot (PP) state for cable charging current capability
(NC, 13A, 20A, 32A or 63A).

• To provide easy access to charging terminals L1, L2, L3, N, PE
and to CP signal terminals to which additional measuring
equipment, such as a multifunctional installation tester, can be
connected for further testing. Charging stations should be
tested after installation and testing should be repeated
periodically.

Please refer to the manufacturer's recommendation and national
standards which are linked to IEC/HO 60364-6 for the initial test or
IEC/HO 60364-7-722, required tests are:

• Visual inspection

• Continuity of protective conductors and protective bonding

• Insulation resistances

• Loop/Line impedance

• RCD test

• Function tests, including but not limited to:

o Vehicle state A,B,C,D
o Error handling Error “E", PE Error (Earth Fault)
o Communication PWM signal
o Mechanical locking of plug
o Rotary field/phase sequence
o Other tests

5.3 Operation of a Charging Station to be Tested

5.3.1 PE Pre-Test

• Do not touch the PE terminal on the front power socket until the
PE pre-test is successful.

• The PE Pre-Test is a safety feature of the test adaptor, it allows
the operator to test the PE conductor for the possible presence
of dangerous voltage against earth.

• In normal circumstances, the PE conductor is connected to
earth and therefore has no voltage against earth, however, if the
PE conductor is not connected to earth (connected to a live
phase or the PE is disconnected) a potentially hazardous
situation may occur.

• Test procedure:

o First, connect the adaptor firmly to the charging station.
o Then touch the contact electrode with a bare finger.

• If the LED light indicator is illuminated, then a dangerous
voltage is present at the PE conductor, stop further testing
immediately and check for a possible wiring fault of the tested
PE conductor.

• In the case of this error, the PE terminal may carry a
hazardous voltage, there is a high risk of electric shock to the
operator and or other persons nearby!

• Possible errors are: PE interrupted, PE not connected, voltage
present on PE (e.g., connected to phase).

• Do not wear gloves while performing this test and ensure a firm
connection to the earth electrode.

• In case of improper connection to the earth electrode (e.g.,
isolated placement of your body) this indication may not be a
reliable indication.

5.3.4 CP Output Signal Terminals

• CP output terminals are connected to CP and PE conductors of
the tested charging station via the test cable, the green socket
is connected to PE.

• This output is intended for the connection of an oscilloscope to
check the waveform and amplitude of the CP signal.

• Control Pilot function uses Pulse Width Modulation [PWM].

• The purpose of the Control Pilot function is communication

between a vehicle and the charging station, the duty cycle of the
PWM signal defines the possible available charging current.

• For details of communication protocol please refer to IEC/EN
62851-1& IEC/HD 60364-7-722 and the documentation of the
manufacturer of the charging station.

5.3.5 CP Error “E” Simulation

With the CP Error “E” button pressed and held, a CP Error can be
simulated (in accordance with the standard IEC/EN 6185-1).

• PP State switch will need to be set to any current position other
than NC.

• CP State switch will need to be set to position C or D.

• When CP error “E” is pressed and held, a short circuit between

CP and PE through the internal diode is made. As a result, the
pending charging process is aborted indicated by the
immediate voltage drop.

5.3.6 PE Error (Earth Fault) Simulator

When pressing the PE Error button, an interruption of the PE conductor
is simulated.

• As a result, the pending charging process is aborted.

5.3.7 Phase Indicator

The phase indicator consists of three LED lamps, one for each phase.

• When the test adaptor is connected to the charging station and
phase voltages are present at the charging connector, the LED
indicators will illuminate.

Please Note:

In the case neutral (N) conductor is not present, or it is interrupted, the
LED indicators will not indicate possible voltage presence at L1, L2 and
L3 conductors.

The LED indicators cannot be used for phase sequence testing.
If the charging station has only a single-phase output, only one LED will

illuminate.

made via the interchangeable Type 1 or Type 2 connector plug.

• The mains socket output is intended for measuring purposes
only and offers the ability to connect directly to an electrical
multifunctional tester with a 13A mains lead (Figure 2).

• The max current is limited to 10A, the mains socket is protected
against overload with 10A/250V,5x20mm fuse.

5.3.9 Measurement Input Terminals L1, L2, L3, N & PE

• Measuring terminals are directly connected to L1, L2, L3, N and
PE conductors of the tested charging station via the test cable.

• These terminals may be used for measuring purposes only, it is
not allowed to draw current over a longer period or supply
anything else.

• An appropriate electrical multifunctional tester is needed.

5.3.10 Load Test Using 13A Mains Socket

• The mains socket on the front of the DLEV1 can also be used to
connect a load to check if the electric charge points and power
monitoring meter works and counts in the right manner (load
test).

• To power the loading appliance, the CP state will need to be
