The Schumacher EV Series Level 2 EV Wall Charger is a robust and versatile electric vehicle charging station designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It provides a convenient and efficient way to charge compatible electric vehicles, offering various models to suit different installation needs, including hardwired and cord-connected options. The device is equipped with advanced features to ensure safe and reliable operation, making it suitable for residential installations.
The primary function of the Schumacher EV Series Level 2 EV Wall Charger is to deliver Level 2 AC charging power to electric vehicles. It connects to a dedicated electrical circuit in your home and supplies power through an output cable with an SAE-J1772 connector, which is a universal standard for most electric vehicles. For Tesla vehicles, an adapter is available separately. The charging process is largely controlled by the electric vehicle itself, with the wall charger providing the necessary power.
The charger supports various power configurations, allowing a licensed electrician to set the amperage according to the dedicated breaker and wiring requirements of the installation. This flexibility ensures compatibility with different electrical setups and optimizes charging efficiency. The hardwired model (SEV1600HW) is designed for permanent installation, while the cord-connected models (SEV1600P1450 and SEV1600P650) offer plug-and-play convenience with NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 outlets, respectively.
Safety is a paramount aspect of the device's design. It incorporates grounding instructions for both permanently connected and cord-connected products to mitigate the risk of electric shock. The unit is built with a durable, raintight housing, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Internal safety mechanisms are in place to detect and respond to various electrical faults, such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, leakage, ground faults, and relay faults, indicated by specific LED behaviors.
The charger also integrates smart features through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. By downloading the SchuPower™ app, users can monitor their EV charging status, track their vehicle's charging history, and configure Wi-Fi settings. This connectivity enhances the user experience by providing real-time information and control over the charging process.
The Schumacher EV Series Level 2 EV Wall Charger is designed for straightforward operation once installed. To begin charging, users simply remove the charging gun from its dock and connect it to their vehicle's charging port. Charging commences automatically, with the electric vehicle managing the charging progress. When charging is complete or paused, the charging gun can be disconnected and returned to the wall charger's dock, and the output cable can be neatly stored in the integrated cable cradle.
The device features several LED indicators that provide visual feedback on its operational status:
The ergonomic charging gun is designed for comfortable handling and includes a lockable feature for added security. The flexible cable management system helps keep the 25-foot cable organized and prevents tangling. The interchangeable dock and low-profile design contribute to the unit's aesthetic appeal and ease of integration into various environments.
For advanced users, the SchuPower™ app provides remote monitoring capabilities, allowing them to check charging status and review charging history from their mobile device. This feature adds a layer of convenience, especially for those who wish to manage their charging sessions effectively.
The Schumacher EV Series Level 2 EV Wall Charger requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. The primary maintenance recommendation is occasional cleaning of the case with a soft cloth. This simple routine helps to keep the finish shiny, prevents the buildup of dirt and grime, and aids in preventing corrosion, especially for units installed outdoors.
The durable, raintight housing (IP66 enclosure, 3R/Raintight rating) is designed to withstand various environmental conditions, reducing the need for frequent protective measures. The robust construction ensures that internal components are shielded from dust, water, and other elements.
In the event of an error or malfunction, the device's LED indicators provide immediate feedback, guiding users to the troubleshooting section of the manual. This self-diagnostic capability helps users identify common issues and, if necessary, determine when professional assistance is required. The modular design, with accessible wiring panels, facilitates any necessary repairs or adjustments by qualified service personnel. However, users are explicitly warned not to disassemble the charger themselves, as incorrect reassembly could lead to electric shock or fire.
The product is backed by a three-year limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and care. This warranty provides peace of mind and ensures that any manufacturing issues will be addressed by Schumacher Electric Corporation. Regular checks for any signs of damage to the flexible power cord, EV cable, enclosure, or EV connector are also recommended to ensure continued safe operation. If any damage is observed, the product should not be used and should be serviced by a qualified professional.
