The Leviton EV Series Plug-In Charger (Cat. Nos. EV40P) is an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) designed for Level 2 AC charging, compatible with vehicles adhering to the SAE J1772 charging standard. This device serves as a home charging solution, providing a convenient and efficient way to charge electric vehicles.
The primary function of the EV40P charger is to deliver alternating current (AC) power to an electric vehicle's battery, facilitating its recharge. It operates as a plug-in unit, meaning it connects to a standard NEMA 14-50 receptacle, making installation relatively straightforward for users with an existing compatible outlet. The charger is equipped with an attached input power cable and an output charging cable, which terminates in an SAE J1772 AC Charging Connector for connection to the vehicle's charging inlet.
A key feature of this charger is its integrated RFID card reader, which allows for user authorization and access control. By default, RFID access control is disabled, enabling "open charging" where anyone can use the unit. However, for users who wish to restrict access, the RFID system can be activated. This involves using an administrative (admin) RFID card to enable the feature, after which standard RFID cards can be used by authorized users to initiate charging sessions. This security measure is particularly useful in shared or public charging environments where controlled access is desired.
The charger provides visual feedback through an LED light indication system. This light communicates the device's operational status, including standby, waiting for charge, active charging, and fault conditions. Different colors and flashing patterns correspond to specific states, allowing users to quickly understand the charger's current activity or identify any issues. For instance, a blue light indicates standby, a steady green light signifies it's waiting for charge after connection, a flashing green light means charging is in progress, and a red light indicates a fault. In specific models (EV32W, EV48W, EV80W, and EV40P), a flashing blue light indicates MyLeviton Setup Mode, suggesting potential smart features or connectivity options, though the manual primarily focuses on the physical operation.
The device incorporates multiple safety features to protect both the user and the vehicle. These include input and output protection mechanisms such as Under Voltage Protection (UVP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Residual Current Device (RCD), Surge Protection Device (SPD), and Ground Fault Protection. Additionally, it offers Over Current Protection (OCP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP), and Control Pilot Fault Protection. These safeguards are crucial for preventing electrical hazards, equipment damage, and ensuring a safe charging environment.
Using the EV40P charger involves a few simple steps, especially when RFID access control is disabled.
The charger's design emphasizes user convenience, with clear visual indicators for operational status. The cable length is generous (25 ft.), allowing flexibility in parking the vehicle relative to the charging station. After charging, it is recommended to loop the charging cable over the station to prevent tripping hazards and maintain a tidy environment.
The EV40P charger is designed for minimal daily maintenance, primarily focusing on safe handling and environmental protection.
Overall, the Leviton EV40P charger is a robust and user-friendly Level 2 EVSE, designed with safety and convenience in mind, offering both open access and restricted RFID-enabled charging options for electric vehicle owners.
