Introduction

The FEV100 (the Product) tests the function and safety of AC charging
stations Level 2 (208 V AC or 240 V AC) and Level 1 (120 V AC). With this

adapter, charging stations are tested in accordance with SAE J1772.

The adapter imitates a car and opens up a charging cycle (activate voltage/
current output). Use additional test and measurement equipment, such as

but not limited to: Multimeters, Clamps, Insulation testers or Multifunction
Testers, to test a charging station. In addition, the adapter has a built in quick

safety test that does not require separate equipment.

Safety Information

A Warning identies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the
user. A Caution identies conditions and procedures that can cause damage
to the Product or the equipment under test.

To prevent the possibility of electric shock or personal injury:

• Read all safety information before you use the Product.

• Do not alter the Product and use only as specied, or the
protection supplied by the Product can be compromised.

• Carefully read all instructions.

• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

• Before each use, examine the Product. Look for cracks or missing
pieces of the Product and cable assembly insulation. Also look for

loose or weakened components. Carefully examine the insulation

around the cable assembly connector.

• Only connect the Product to the charging stations as indicated in

the Specication section.

• Use the Product within the operating range only. The operating

range is specied in the Specication section.

• Do not touch any part of charging station during the GFCI test.
The GFCI test may place hazardous voltage onto conductive parts
of the charging station during the test if the charging station is
not properly grounded.

• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp
or wet environments.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals
or between each terminal and earth ground.

• Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.

• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.

• Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the case

open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.

• Use only specied replacement parts.

• Do not use the Product if it is altered or damaged.

• Have an approved technician repair the Product.

Transport and Storage

Please keep the original packaging for future transport (for example if
calibration is necessary). Any transport damage due to faulty packaging will
be excluded from warranty claims.

The adapter must be stored in dry, closed areas. In case of the adapter being
transported in extreme temperatures, a minimum recovery time of 2 hours is

required prior to any operation.

Available Measurements

• Grounding system Pre-Test (veries that there is no presence of dangerous

voltage at the Ground terminal)

• Phase indicator (presence of voltage)

• CP State simulation (A, B, C

• CP Error “E” simulation (Control Pilot CP signal short-circuited to PE)

• GFCI ground fault circuit interrupter test

• Fault Voltage test in normal conditions (no GFCI test current) and

during GFCI test

• PE Error (Earth Fault) simulation (interruption of PE conductor)

• Measurements on live conductors (L1, L2/N) and on PE ground

conductor

• Test of Control Pilot CP signal

Dangerous voltages can be present at L1, L2/N, and PE terminals while

the test adapter is plugged into the charging station. Use the test sockets
for test purposes only. Do not supply any appliance or charge an electric

vehicle via these connectors. Terminals N and PE can be hazardous if
there is a charging station error or incorrect wiring.
