Status Indicator:

The status indicator at the top of the EVSE displays the state of the EVSE. The key to the colors
displayed on the status indicator is shown on a label directly right of the EVSE handle. The EVSE can
display the following different colors:

 Green (SOLID): EVSE available for charging
 BLINKING Green: EV connected, but not energized (charging is finished or vehicle not ready for charging)
 Amber (SOLID): EV charging and connector energized
 Red (SOLID): Fault EVSE

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

Figure 52: EVSE while idle

Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD):

The VFD serves to prompt the user to do certain things, such as connect to vehicle or return plug to
socket. It also displays useful information such as charging time and fault information.

RFID Reader

The RFID is responsible for maintaining and processing authorization of users for the EV Charging
Station, and is available as an option.

When the RFID is idle, the RFID LED is red.

When the access card is waved in from of the RFID reader, it blinks green and beeps for 250 ms. See
Figure 53 below.

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 48 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

Figure 53: EVSE during card swipe

After the access card is swiped, the RFID LED returns to red until authorization is successful.

Once authorized, the RFID LED will return to green until the transaction is ended when the vehicle is
disconnected.

If authorization is denied, the RFID LED remains red and the VFD will display the “denied” message.

Connecting to a Vehicle: Before connecting the EVSE to a vehicle, make sure the status indicator at
the top of the EVSE is SOLID GREEN. The VFD should prompt the user to remove plug from socket and
connect to vehicle. If the EVSE is displaying RED, then do not use the EVSE and contact GE technical
support for assistance.

If the EVSE status indicator is SOLID GREEN, then

1.When the EVSE handle is seated in the EVSE holder, press and hold the button on the EVSE handle
and pull away from the EVSE holder until it is fully removed. The VFD should prompt the user to
connect cable to vehicle.

2.Press and hold the button on the EVSE handle and insert into the vehicle’s inlet socket. Release the
button on the EVSE handle when fully connected to the vehicle inlet socket.

Once the EVSE handle is connected to the vehicle, the status indicator will turn BLINKING GREEN or
AMBER. BLINKING GREEN indicates that the vehicle is connected, but not ready to charge.

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 49 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

AMBER indicates that the vehicle is charging. While charging, the VFD will display the amount of
charging time elapsed and total energy drawn.

Disconnect from Vehicle:
The EVSE can be disconnected from the vehicle at any time.

• Press and hold the button on top of the EVSE handle and pull the EVSE handle away from the
vehicle inlet socket. The VFD will prompt to replace the handle to the EVSE holder.

• Replace the EVSE handle on the holder by pressing and holding the button the EVSE handle.
Release the button when the EVSE handle is fully connected to the EVSE holder.

• The EVSE status indicator will return to SOLID GREEN once the EVSE handle has been removed
from the vehicle inlet and replaced to EVSE holder.

Faults:

When the status indicator has turned RED, the EVSE is indicating a fault. There are four types of faults
that can occur:

1. Ground Fault

2. Contactor closed when not charging Fault

3. Self-Test Fault

4. Overvoltage/Undervoltage Faults

5. Overload fault

Ground fault:

The EVSE can detect the presence of ground faults with a threshold of 15 – 20 mA during the charging
cycle. Once a ground fault is detected, the EVSE will stop charging the vehicle and the status indicator
will indicate RED. If the EVSE continues to detect ground faults and the vehicle remains plugged in,
the EVSE will attempt to restart charging after 15 minutes. If 4 such attempts to restart charging have
occurred, the EVSE will lockout the station. The lockout will prevent any vehicle from being charged
until the plug has been disconnected from the vehicle. It is highly recommended that service

personnel examine the EV (electric vehicle) and/or the EVSE cable to determine the cause of the
multiple faults before re-energizing.

If a ground fault is present immediately after the EVSE begins charging, the EVSE will stop charging
and immediately lockout the station. The lockout will prevent any vehicle from being charged until
the plug has been disconnected from the vehicle.

Contactor closed when not charging Fault:

The EVSE internally monitors itself to ensure that the EVSE is only supplying power to the EVSE handle
when it is in a charging cycle. If the EVSE is supplying power to the EVSE handle in a non-charge cycle
(status indicator is GREEN or FLASHING GREEN), the EVSE will lockout and the status indicator will
indicate RED. The lockout will prevent any vehicle from being charged until power has been cycled on
the EVSE.

Self-Test Fault:

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 50 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

The EVSE internally monitors its operating performance. If there is a failure of its performance, the
status indicator on the EVSE will indicate RED and lockout.

Overvoltage/Undervoltage Faults:
The EVSE monitors line voltage and cuts power to the EV if the voltage goes out of range. After 1
minute the EVSE rechecks the voltage and will automatically re-enable charging if the voltage comes
back within acceptable range. The status indicator will turn RED as long as charging is interrupted.

Overload Fault:
The EVSE monitors the current being drawn by the EV. If this current exceeds the capability of the
EVSE fuse, charging will be interrupted and the status indicator will show turn RED. This fault can be
cleared by disconnecting from the EV.

3.4 Additional Considerations

Physical Security

Physical security is a necessary consideration in any installation of this type. There should be physical
controls to reduce the probability of a malicious entity’s chances of gaining access to any area of the
system. Network, maintenance access and power connections should be secured with strong
physical controls, i.e. all connections behind an access panel or door with a keyed lock to limit access.
This door or access panel should be strong (metal as a suggestion) and the lock should be of a type
that is not commonly available to the general public.

All wiring should be enclosed in conduit meeting the local electrical and communications building

codes. And all conduits should firmly attach to the secured “box” where communications would be

terminated within the Charging Station.

3.5 EVSE Controller Settings

3.5.2 Display fault messages

EVSE controller is capable of providing a full range of Fault troubleshooting options. When the
controller experiences a fault it will display the brief fault description message as well as the specific
fault code on the display.

Fault codes:

0x00000001

Fault indicating that the unit has experienced a ground fault and is waiting the required amount of
time (15 minutes) before it attempts to reclose the main contactor, clear the fault and continue
charging.

0x00000002

Fault indicating that the controller has experienced the maximum allowed number of ground faults
for a charge cycle.. To reset this fault simply disconnect the EVSE plug from the vehicle, and wait for at
least 30 seconds.

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 55 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

0x00000004

Fault indicating that the unit has experienced a Ground fault CT test failure, either during the power­up self-test or during charge cycle initialization self-test. Check the ground fault CT (current
transformer), connections or the EVSE controller. Disconnecting from the vehicle will clear this fault. If
it persists repeatedly the ground fault CT and EVSE controller circuit need to be checked.

0x00000008

Fault indicates that the EVSE controller has detected that the vehicle is drawing excessive current
during the charge cycle so it has interrupted charging. To clear this fault, disconnect the EVSE plug
from the vehicle.

0x00000010

Fault indicating that the unit E-stop jumper (J14 or J14A) is not installed. Check/install connector J14
or J14A on the controller.

0x00000020

Unit has failed a Pilot Diode self-test required per the SAEJ1772 / IEC 61851 standard. This is a feature
which prevents tampering with the controller and the interlock connector. To clear this fault,
disconnect from the vehicle and repeat. If fault persists, there is likely a problem with the vehicle’s
pilot interface.

0x00000040

Indicates an illegal Pilot transition state detected by the controller from the vehicle. This condition will
automatically clear when the pilot returns to an appropriate state. Note: some vehicles may not
comply with the SAE J1772 / IEC 61851 standard and go directly from state A to state C. To
accommodate charging of such vehicles, use the non-SAE compliant configuration setting on the
configuration menu (see Section 3.4.4 NON-SAEJ1772 configuration).

0x00000080

Controller has experienced 0V state feedback from the Vehicle which is an illegal state and it indicates
an error from the vehicle. The fault will clear upon disconnection from the vehicle.

0x00000100

Controller has experienced an unknown Pilot voltage level during power up which is not compliant to
the SAEJ1772 / IEC 61851 standard. This fault can only be cleared by cycling power to the EVSE. If this
error persists, the EVSE needs to be serviced.

0x00000200

Controller is not detecting feedback from the Main contactor Aux. Connections at J11. Check for
connections per the System level wiring diagram or a hardware fault with the contactor or the
controller. This fault is cleared by disconnection of the EVSE plug from the vehicle.

0x00000400

Indicates an incorrect hardware configuration. Ensure that the controller is placed in the correct
desired configuration using the Dip Switch (S6) and properly installed into the system. This fault can
only be cleared by cycling power to the EVSE.

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 56 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

0x00001000

Controller has detected that the contactor is still in Closed state after the controller issued a
command to open the contactor. Check the Main contactor, system wiring or the controller. This fault
can only be cleared by cycling power to the EVSE. With power removed, examine the contactor, the
auxiliary feedback circuits, and the connections at J11.

0x00004000

Non-volatile memory (NVM) is used to store configuration settings and data which needs to be
retained during power outages. The controller has detected an issue with NVM. Cycle power to the
EVSE controller to attempt fault recovery. If fault persist, redefine the configuration settings by
running the configuration server. Call service if repeating configuration set up does not clear the
fault.”

0x00008000

Controller has detected an Over voltage condition at the input supply voltage which exceeds the
allowed range for EV charging. Recovery is automatic when the voltage returns to an appropriate
range. There is a one minute delay before reclosing to prevent the possibility of contactor chattering
for unstable line voltage conditions.

0x00010000

Controller has detected an Under voltage condition at the input supply voltage which is below the
allowed range for EV charging. Recovery is automatic when the voltage returns to an appropriate
range. There is a one minute delay before reclosing to prevent the possibility of contactor chattering
for unstable line voltage conditions.

0x00040000

Controller has detected an out of range ambient temperature condition. To clear this fault the power
must be removed and reapplied to the EVSE. If this error persists, the EVSE needs to be serviced.

0x00080000

Controller has detected an internal operation error and will require servicing. To clear this fault the AC
voltage must be removed and reapplied to repeat the test. Repeated occurrence of this fault indicates
need for a replacement control board.

0x00200000

The controller contains an IC (integrated circuit) which stores the globally unique MAC address which
is required for the Ethernet operations. If the controller is not able to read this address it will set this
fault. To clear and reattempt to read the MAC address, power to the EVSE must be removed and
reapplied. Repeated occurrence of this fault indicates need for a replacement control board.

4 Network Setup Instructions

This chapter details design recommendations for a GE EV Charging Station Network Infrastructure.
Network setup is required for installations that use RFID authentication. It is not required for EVSE that
do not use RFID authentication.

This section of the installation document covers the options for connecting the charging stations with
a PC hosting the EV100 GE EV Charging Station Manager Application software.

4.1 Definitions and Terms

Certain terms are used throughout this chapter; in order to avoid misinterpretation, several of the
more commonly used terms are defined below.

o CS: Charging Station. These are individual units that provide electrical charging services to

vehicle at a time. (Double pedestal provides charging to two)

o Host System/Host PC: The PC that runs the GE EV Charging Station Manager Application to

manage authorization and collect data from the Charging Stations.

o Firewall: A network security device that provides controlled access between two or more

network segments, denying anything except approved communications between the various
network segments.

o DMZ: Demilitarized Zone. An isolated network segment attached to a separate connection point

on a firewall. This segment is then granted specific access to or from any other “Zone” to

control who/what can connect INTO the DMZ or what the system or systems within the DMZ
can connect OUT to.

o Switch: A network device that provides multiple connection points for attaching devices to an

individual segment of a communications network. For the purpose of this document, they are
Ethernet network switches.

o NIC: Network Interface Card. A PC card with an RJ45 port that provides Ethernet connectivity.
o Service laptop or PC: A laptop or PC used to configure individual EVSE stations via direct

Ethernet connection (use a cross-connected cable)

4.2 Firewall and Security Considerations

o Firewall.

Any firewall used to provide isolation from the charging station network to any other network should,
at a minimum, provide “Statefull Packet Inspection”.

Anything less would not provide acceptable security and protection. SOHO firewalls are available
that provide this capability but there are some which do not.

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 58 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

Any firewall used for a DMZ environment should be a business class system (i.e. Cisco ASA,
Checkpoint, SonicWall, etc) and provide a true DMZ capability. Typical SOHO firewalls do NOT
provide true DMZ capabilities.

GE supports the use of the Cisco ASA5505 firewall and provides settings for its use in this scenario.

o Physical Security.

Physical security is a necessary consideration in any installation of this type. There should be
physical controls to reduce the probability of a malicious entity’s chances of gaining access to any
area of the system.
Network, maintenance access and power connections should be secured with strong physical
controls, i.e. all connections behind an access panel or door with a keyed lock to limit access. This
door or access panel should be strong (metal as a suggestion) and the lock should be of a type that
is not commonly available to the general public.

All wiring should be enclosed in conduit meeting the local electrical and communications building
codes. And all conduits should firmly attach to the secured “box” where communications would be
terminated within the Charging Station.

4.3 Controller Configuration

4.3.1 Introduction

The Configuration Server Interface is used to make modifications to the network settings and to
certain operation parameters of the charging station controller. The controller will boot into a default
configuration. The network defaults will need to be changed in order to accommodate the decisions
in choosing the stand-alone or fire-walled configuration and to avoid conflicts with the installation of
subsequent controllers.

Each EVSE needs to be configured individually using a service PC or laptop during the installation and
setup of the controllers.

4.3.2 Prepare Service Laptop or PC

In order to set up your service laptop or PC, make sure you have full Windows Administrator rights.
Disable any firewalls and all other Ethernet and WiFi connections for the duration of the setup.

Make sure no EVSE is connected or at least not powered during these setup changes.

Then follow these steps to configure your TCP/IP settings for communication with the EVSE during
setup.

After the setup, you may want to set them back to your normal settings by undoing the same steps,
enable WiFi connections and firewalls.

1. Open the network settings by going to Start > Control Panel > Network connections.

This paragraph describes how to access the EVSE controller Configuration Server Interface and which
settings can be made.

In a networked environment, each EVSE needs to be configured according to the instructions given in
this document, and depending on the type of network chosen.

CAUTION: when manipulating the EVSE, always make sure the power to the EVSE is switched

off before coming close or touching any parts of the interior.

To configure each individual EVSE

4.4 Recommended Network Designs for RFID Authentication

It is strongly recommended using one of below network settings, as those are providing necessary
security levels for the Charging Station System network and other parts of the network.

4.4.1 Option 1: Stand-alone Network Configuration

In this design the charging station network and its associated host system are not connected to the
customer network at all. Optional remote service access to the host system is via a dial-up modem
only.

This provides the greatest protection to the customer network, as there is no communication
between the customer network and the charging station network.

Figure 65: Network Setup Option 1 – Standalone Configuration

Required Components:

 Host Application PC
 Cat 5 Network Cables
 Ethernet Switch
 Optional Modem (for remote service only, otherwise not required)
 Card reader, accessory from GE catalogue # EVRP01 (Note: only GE enrollment

readers work with this application)

EVSE Controller Settings
Follow the instructions in the Controller Configuration section to set up each individual EVSE
according to the following settings:

 EVSE IP

On initial power up the EVSE IP address will default to 192.168.2.2 This must be changed to an
appropriate address based on the network configuration. Failure to change the IP address
setting will impact the ability to bring up subsequent charging stations on the network due to
IP address collisions.

Assign IP addresses to the charging stations beginning with 192.168.2.22.
As additional charging stations are added increment the last octet, so that they are numbered
in consecutive numbers. (192.168.2.22, 192.168.2.23, 192.168.2.24, and so on).
All of the charging stations will use the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0 with the default
gateway setting as 0.0.0.0 (blank).

 Subnet Mask

Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0

 Default Gateway

 Fan wired with contactor

EVSE owners with indoor installations who want to charge vehicles that require facility fans to
be turned on must run signal connections to terminals 4 and 5 of the Power Terminal Block
(PTB) . The EVSE owner must follow electrical codes to ensure that proper ventilation is
allocated for their facility.

Set the gateway to 0.0.0.0 (blank)

 Non-compliant SAEJ1772 behavior

Some earlier EV models equipped with a retrofit kit have a Pilot signal feedback that does not
comply with the SAE-J1772 / IEC 61851 standard. By default, this option is not enabled. Should
there be cars with retrofit kits to use this EVSE, check this box.

 After a power loss enable a random delay before charging resumes

If there is a large number of EVSE on a local feed, consider setting this box to enable a gradual
increase in load on resumption of power.

 Require Authorization for charging.

RFID authentication requires this check box to be checked on all EVSE in the network.

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 68 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

Note: The port number on all EVSE in the network must match the port number defined
during the EV100 Software installation.

Note: In the case of any modification of the “Require authentication for charging”
status, or after a reset or replacement of the controller, the Station ID must be modified
to a new ID not previously used on this network to avoid transaction data to be lost.

Action
required !

Action
required !

 Host IP address.

By default, the IP address is set to 192.168.2.19. Unless there is a collision with another setup, it
is recommended to keep this host address.

Should this address change, the network PC will need to be configured accordingly in the
TCP/IP settings, as explained later below.

 TCP Host Port & TCP Source Port.

Change the value to 9500 for both the Host and Source Port to match the default value of the
EV100 Application SW. Unless there is a collision by using this Port on the host PC, it is
recommended to configure the EV100 application to use port 9500 (by default) and all EVSE in
the network to also use port 9500 (factory default is 9000).

 Enable DHCP

Keep this option disabled at any time.

 Allow charging if communication is not established

By default, this option is not selected. Checking this box will modify the behavior of the EVSE in
the case of network loss:

If unchecked, the EVSE will not allow charging of a car in the case of network communication
failure between the EVSE and the Host PC.

If checked, the EVSE will allow charging of a car despite of a network communication failure.

 Station ID information

Fill in the Station ID information to distinguish EVSE from each other in the EV100 Application. It

is important to give each EVSE a unique ID.

IDs will appear in the EV100 Application in the format “1-12-9” (e.g. Locality ID = 1, Facility ID =

12, Unit number = 9).

GE EV Charging Station User Manual 69 of 86

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions

Note: The Station ID information is how the EV100 application distinguishes between
stations in the same network. Make sure you assign different values to each EVSE.

Note: In the case of any modification of the “Require authentication for charging”
status, or after a reset or replacement of the controller, the Station ID must be modified
to a new ID not previously used on this network to avoid transaction data to be lost.

After the desired settings were configured click on “Save”.

Repeat this procedure for all EVSE in the network.

Host PC Settings

In order to set up your Host PC, make sure you have full Windows Administrator rights.
Disable any firewalls and all other Ethernet and WiFi connections on this PC.

Then follow these steps to configure your TCP/IP settings for communication with the EVSE during
setup.

The NIC on the host PC should be connected to the Charging Station Network Ethernet Switch.

4.4.2 Option 2: Charging Station Network isolated from Customer Network with Host

System in a DMZ.

In this design, the charging stations are isolated from the customer network and the host system is
within a DMZ providing isolation from BOTH the Charging Station Network AND the Customer
Network. This minimizes the risks of someone compromising the charging station network or the
host system and using either to compromise or gain access to the customer network.

The host system is within a DMZ providing isolation from both the charging station network and the
customer network and communicates with the charging stations via a rule or access control list
entry which allows communications between ONLY the host system and the charging stations. A
rule or rules would be established to permit specific systems on the customer network to access the
host system.

Figure 70: Network Setup Option 2 –Networked Configuration with DMZ

This provides greater protection and isolation than the previous designs in this document. It’s not

perfect as the charging stations need to initiate some of the communications to the host system, so
a rule or ACL will have to be in place on the firewall to allow this communications. But it also isolates
that communications from the customer network. A properly configured firewall will provide greatly
enhanced protection to the customer network.

Required Components:

 Host Application PC
 Cat 5 Network Cables
 Ethernet Switch
 ASA5505 security plus firewall

EVSE Controller Settings
Follow the instructions in the Controller Configuration section to set up each individual EVSE
according to the following settings:

 EVSE IP

On initial power up the EVSE IP address will default to 192.168.2.2 This must be changed to an
appropriate address based on the network configuration. Failure to change the IP address
setting will impact the ability to bring up subsequent charging stations on the network due to
IP address collisions.
Check with the local network administrator to determine which address ranges are currently in
use at the site.
It is necessary to select ranges for the charging stations that are distinct from those currently
in use to avoid IP address conflicts.

If the 172.25.x.x. range is not in use the following settings should be implemented.

Set the EVSE Ethernet IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway to the following settings:

Assign IP addresses to the charging stations beginning with 172.25.0.12. As additional charging
stations are added increment the last octet, so that they are numbered in consecutive
numbers starting from 12. (Examples: 172.25.0.12, 172.25.0.13, 172.25.0.14, and so on).
All of the charging stations will use the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0 with the default
gateway set to 172.25.0.1

Alternatively, if that range is in use, on the assumption that the 172.26.0.x. range is available
use these alternate settings:

This alternate setting will require the assignment of IP addresses to the charging stations
beginning with 172.26.0.12 As additional charging stations are added increment the last octet,
so that they are numbered as for example: 172.26.0.12, 172.26.0.13, 172.26.0.14, and so on. All
of the charging stations will use the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0 with the default gateway
set to 172.26.0.1.

Note: If the keyboard is set to French or Belgium keep the CAPSLOCK ON during card ID
registration. Should the output of the reader in the text field include characters other than 0­9 and A-F, set the keyboard settings of Windows to “US English”.

Note: ”Users” are user accounts for the EV100 application with associated login and
password. “Drivers” are EV drivers and are enrolled for usage of the EVSE infrastructure

and identify themselves with RFID cards.

Note: A change of the Host PC IP address while the listener service is running requires a
restart of the listener service or a reboot of the host PC. For detail instructions reach out
to User Manual document included on CD 1.

2. Launch the EV100 Application

Start the EV100 Application and log in. Default login is “admin” and the password “admin”.
You should now see the stations appear in the list with a green status after at most 5 min.

After at most 5min, all EVSE in the network should appear in the list. Check that all EVSE are present
and listed with their correctly configured Station ID.
Should one of the EVSE not appear in the list, power that station down and up again.

Click on “Home” to refresh the screen at any time.

3. Enroll drivers

To activate charging, hold the RFID card in front of the reader for 2-3 seconds. Upon successful
authentication of that card, the reader LED will turn green after another small delay of 2-3
seconds.

4.5 Setup without RFID Authentication

Some EVSE models are not equipped with an RFID reader and are not meant to be set up in a network
environment. Even models with RFID can be used in a non-authentication mode. In both cases, the
EVSE controller settings do not need to be modified from the default values.

In order to disable the RFID authentication function from a previous networked setup, it is
recommended to either reset the EVSE controller as explained in a later chapter, or to reset the values
on the EVSE controller following the steps described in the Configuration Server Interface section, and
set the parameters as shown.
