3.2 Communication Options

The WattStation has different types of TCP/IP communication interfaces to the customer: Cellular router, integrated WiFi module or CAT5

3.2.1 Integrated Ethernet communications port

TCP/IP communication over an IEEE 802.3 (a.k.a. “Ethernet”) compliant network between the EVSE and customer network is available in all EVSE models. A single CAT5e or better cable can be run from each EVSE to a network hub, router or switch in a star configuration. If the star configuration is not desired, the customer can use the 4 port Ethernet switch that is standard in all EVSE models to daisy chain CAT5e cables from one EVSE to another.

WattStation Ethernet ports support only 10BASE-T (10 Mbit/s) or 100BASE-TX (100 Mbit/s) network speeds. Installation on networks running at 1000BASE-T (100 Mbit/s) will require that the networks be configured to support devices that operate at 100 Mbit/s.

The maximum length of the communication cables is determined by the CAT5e standard, which stipulates a maximum length of 100 m (328 feet). If longer runs are required, the use of active hardware such as a repeater or a switch is necessary.

3.2.2 Integrated WiFi Module option

A Pedestal WattStation with WiFi communication incorporates a IEEE 802.11b/g compliant radio module. EVSE customers that do not select the WiFi communication option will not receive this radio module. The WiFi module allows the EVSE owner to communicate to their Building Management System (BMS) or GE WattStation Connect over WiFi. The WiFi module will have a connection to attach to the EVSE’s WiFi antenna. The WiFi module will support IEEE 802.11 b/g networks. Operation on IEEE 802.11n networks will therefore require that the networks be configured to support 802.11g devices. The WiFi module is disabled when shipped and is enabled by first connecting to the configuration tool via a CAT5 connection.

The IEEE 802.11b/g compliant WiFi radio is certified as an intentional radiator per FCC Part 15 Subpart C rules and has been granted the following Federal Communication Commission and Industry Canada (Industrie Canada) identification numbers.

FCC ID U9R-W2CBW009DI IC ID 7089-W2CBW09D

Note that a Pedestal WattStation that has the WiFi radio and antenna installed cannot utilize the cellular option.

3.2.3 Cellular router option

The cellular router will provide wireless communication for a single or group of EVSEs over a cellular provider’s network. A customer can choose to put a cellular router into each EVSE they have at a location or they can add one cellular router into a group of EVSEs and daisy chain the EVSEs together using the CAT5.

WattStation™ EV Charger User Manual

VVeerriizzoonn

Two types of cellular routers are supported offered for the Pedestal WattStation: CDMA/EV-DO and GSM/HSPA. Both routers will support speeds up to 3G and default to lower speeds when the maximum is not available. The cellular carrier for the CDMA router is Verizon for US installations and the cellular carrier for the GSM router is Vodafone for Canada installations. All cellular claims are based on the US coverage map provided by Verizon and Canadian coverage map from Vodafone. The cellular router is powered from the EVSE controller. Only one type of the router can be installed in an individual Pedestal.

GE recommends that customers perform a site survey with a third party to ensure adequate cellular performance. The exact environmental factors of the location and orientation to the nearest cell tower strongly affect cellular performance.!

The cellular router is certified as an intentional radiator per FCC Part 15 Subpart C rules and has been granted the following Federal Communication Commission and Industry Canada (Industries Canada) identification numbers.

FFCCCC IIDD IICC IIDD

Note that a Pedestal WattStation that has the cellular router and antenna installed cannot utilize the WiFi option.

3.2.4 Payment

A payment option allows an EVSE owner to provide users who have an online payment account (PayPal) the ability to charge their vehicle. There are two methods of payments: smartphone (iPhone or Android) or RFID.

When using a smartphone, the driver shall scan the QR code on the EVSE using the camera on the smartphone and the GE WattStation Connect smartphone application. The GE WattStation Connect smartphone application will access the GE WattStation network to show the EVSE owner’s fees for using the charger to the driver. Once the driver has decided on accepting the EVSE owner’s fees, the GE WattStation Connect will grant access of the EVSE to the driver.

When using RFID to utilize a driver’s online payment account, the driver will swipe their RFID card (WattStation Connect Payment Card) at the EVSE. . The driver must first link the WattStation Connect Payment Card to their PayPal account via the WattStation Connect web application. If the driver accepts the fees, the GE WattStation Connect will grant access of the EVSE to the driver.

3.3 Electronics

The Electronics Control Unit in the Top Assembly integrates Control Pilot Functions, Metering, Overload monitoring, ground fault protection and all local monitoring.

WattStation™ EV Charger User Manual

FCCCC IIDD

3.3.1 Supplemental overload Protection

The controller will open the main power contactor at 125% of nominal current for NEMA.

3.3.2 Ground Fault protection

Pedestal WattStation includes 15 - 20 mA GF protection per UL 2231. The EVSE provides fault

indication if a ground fault has occurred. The fault will automatically reset per UL 2231 if the fault has occurred after charging has begun. This reset will occur after 15 minutes. Only 4 automatic retries can occur in a charging session. Unplugging the EVSE connector from the vehicle will close out a charging session and reset the number of automatic retries. If the ground fault is detected immediately after charging, the EVSE will stop charging and indicate a fault.

3.3.3 Ground Monitor Interrupter

The EVSE will perform ground monitoring on the line and load side per UL 2231. Ground monitoring on the load side requires the EVSE to stop or not initiate charging if earth ground is broken between vehicle and EVSE. Ground monitoring on the line side requires the EVSE to stop initiate charging if earth ground is not present on the incoming power side of the EVSE. If the ground monitor detects the loss of ground on the vehicle side of the EVSE, the EVSE will disconnect the contactor if charging or prevent charging if the vehicle is requesting charge. If the ground monitor detects the loss of ground on the line side of the EVSE, the LED ring will indicate fault and prevent the EVSE from charging a vehicle.

3.3.4 Ventilation Fault

If a vehicle requests facility ventilation, the Pedestal WattStation will not charge the vehicle and issue a fault indication on the LED Ring and fault icon. The fault will be cleared once the EVSE connector is removed from the vehicle.

3.3.5 Metering

Pedestal WattStation measures the voltage, current, power and Energy consumed by the EV during a charge and the measured data is available through Modbus or WattStation Connect.

3.3.6 RFID

4.2 Configuration

4.2.1 Connecting to Configuration Tool

The WattStation Pedestal contains a configuration tool which can be used to establish owner preferences and to setup the communication parameters for the customer’s network. The initial connection to the Configuration Tool must be made via the Integrated Ethernet Communications port (see Section 3.2.1). Subsequent connections to the tool can be made over WiFi after the wireless network settings have been made to connect to the appropriate network.

The default IP address for the WattStation’s Ethernet communications port depends on whether or not the cellular option is present. For the purposes of customer convenience, the WattStation is shipped from the factory with default network setting of “DHCP enabled”. This means that the WattStation will try to obtain an IP address from a DCHP server if one is available.

WattStation™ EV Charger User Manual

Approach 1:

In the case of WattStation without network with a DHCP server then it will default to an IP address of 192.168.13.1. Before connecting to the tool, ensure your computer has an IP address on the same subnet as the WattStation. The method to do this varies by operating system. Pull up a menu that lets you modify the Local Area Connection properties (see below).
