OPERATION
The LCS Electric Vehicle Charging Station is a compact wall-mounted charging
station that provides the Plug-in Hybrid or Battery Electric Vehicle (together
Plug-In Electric Vehicles, or “PEV”) user with a safe and manageable link be-
tween the power grid and the PEV. Both hardwired (LCS) and NEMA plug-
equipped (LCS-P) versions are available.
The LCS is very easy to use. Just unwrap the SAE-J1772TM charge cable and
plug the charge coupler rmly into the vehicle’s charge port.
Normally, the vehicle will immediately request a charge using a special commu-
nication line in the cable. Within a few seconds the green “Charging” light on
the face of the LCS will turn on and the charging cycle will begin. After an av-
erage driving day the vehicle battery pack will require several hours to recharge
completely. Charging overnight is the most convenient way to maintain healthy
batteries and ensure the vehicle’s full range will be available for the next day.
When the vehicle has stopped charging the green “Charging” light on the LCS
will turn off. To remove the charge coupler once a charge cycle has completed
(or to interrupt a charge in progress) press and hold down the latch release lever
on the charge coupler handle then unplug the charge coupler from the vehicle
charge port.

Only 3 wires are connected, but care must be taken that the service transformer
secondary connection is denitely known, and the 3 wires from the main circuit
breaker panel are connected and labeled correctly. Figures 2, 3, and 4 below
show the most common service transformer secondary wiring formats.
Notice that L1, L2, & Ground are labeled on each diagram. Those transformer
outputs correspond to the same inputs on the LCS. Also, each of the two
3-phase diagrams shows an L3 output, which is not used. Do not connect all
three phases of a 3-phase secondary to the LCS. This is a single-phase device.
The Neutral at the service panel must be connected to Earth Ground somewhere
in the system on any of the three connection arrangements. Ground-fault
protection is not possible unless the Neutral (center-tap on the service
transformer) is connected to an Earth Ground. If no Ground is provided by
the electrical service, a grounding stake must be driven into the ground nearby,
following local electrical codes. The grounding stake must be connected to the
ground bar in the main breaker panel, and Neutral connected to Ground at that
point.
WARNING: Local electrical codes must always be followed when
installing the grounding stake.
AVERTISSEMENT: Les codes électriques locaux doivent toujours
être respectées lors de l’installation du piquet de mise à la terre.

MOUNTING PROCEDURES
Locate the wall mounting position of the EVSE:
• On the hardwired LCS, the three service conductors are shielded by three
feet of exible conduit. The LCS must be positioned such that this conduit
can reach a nearby service panel or junction box.
• On the plug-in LCS-P, the NEMA plug head is connected by nearly one foot
of cable to the top side of the LCS-P. The LCS-P must be positioned such
that this plug can safely be inserted into a wall-mounted NEMA socket.
• Position the bottom of the charge station at a comfortable height and at least
18 inches above the ground. Ensure that the LEDs on the front panel of the
EVSE can clearly be seen by anyone who will be operating the device.
• The LCS has four mounting holes spaced in a 2” wide by 10” tall
rectangular pattern. Use a template to mark hole locations on the wall.
WARNING: For safety, always turn off input power to the charge
station at the circuit breaker panel prior to plugging it in or wiring
it to the service lines. Likewise, turn off the circuit breaker prior to
unplugging it or disconnecting the unit from the service lines.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour sécurité, toujours désactiver le courant
d’entrée de la station de recharge au niveau du disjoncteur du panneau
avant de le brancher ou de câblage à les lignes de service. De même,
coupez le disjoncteur avant de le débrancher ou déconnecter l’unité à
partir des lignes de services.
CAUTION: A 3-phase delta-connected transformer secondary without
a center-tap on one leg cannot be used with the LCS. No “Neutral”
point is available to be connected to ground for ground-fault protection.
The LCS will not allow the contactor to close if it does not sense the
presence of a Ground wire connected to a “Neutral” point on the
transformer secondary.
ATTENTION: Un triphasé triangle-connecté transformateur
secondaire sans centre-tap sur le terminal ne peut pas être utilisé avec la
LCS. Aucun point “Neutre” est disponible pour être connecté à Mise à
la Terre pour protection de défaut à la terre. Le LCS ne permettra pas le
contacteur de fermer si elle ne détecte pas la présence d’un l de Masse
connecté à un point “Neutre” sur le secondaire du transformateur.

For Solid-Wall Construction:
• To secure the unit in concrete, pre-drill appropriately sized holes and use
multi-set or wedge anchor hardware at all four mounting points.
• To secure the unit in brick or stone, pre-drill appropriately sized holes and
use multi-set or wedge anchor hardware at all four mounting points.
Machine screw size #10 hardware is recommended for mounting the LCS.
Screw shafts of at least 2” are recommended. The LCS mounting holes are
3/16” in diameter, so ensure that the screw heads do not exceed this size. Place
appropriately sized washers between the screw heads and the LCS enclosure
mounting anges.
Figure 5 - Mounting the LCS to a hollow wall
For Hollow-Wall Construction:
• Place the unit such that at least two (but preferably all four) mounting holes
can take advantage of solid structural framing inside of the wall or a strong
wall surface such as plywood.
• For any remaining mounting holes which do not have a solid mounting
structure (such as drywall without a solid backing) it will be necessary to
use proper anchoring hardware such as drywall toggles or molly bolts.

MOUNTING THE SAE-J1772™
CONNECTOR HOLSTER
The SAE-J1772™ connector holster comes standard to provide a convenient,
protective housing for the SAE-J1772™ connector head when it is not in use.
• The SAE-J1772™ connector holster should be placed so that users have
easy and safe access to the SAE-J1772™ connector.
• For indoor installation, mount the SAE-J1772™ connector holster between
18 and 48 inches above the ground or grade.
• For outdoor installation, mount the SAE-J1772™ connector holster between
24 and 48 inches above the ground or grade.
• The SAE-J1772™ connector holster has two vertically aligned mounting
holes spaced 5.45” apart, one each on the enclosure top and bottom. Use a
ruler or template to mark hole locations on the mounting surface.
• The vertical alignment of the LCS and SAE-J1772™ connector holster
mounting holes allows for the convenient mounting of both components
onto the same post or wall structure. For example, the holster may be
mounted directly above the LCS.
• Place the SAE-J1772™ connector holster such that both mounting holes can
take advantage of solid structural framing inside of the wall or a strong wall
surface such as plywood.
• A set of exterior wood screws and stainless steel washers are included for
the purposes of mounting the SAE-J1772™ connector holster to a wooden
surface.
• For mounting to a solid surface such as concrete, brick, or stone, alternate
hardware may need to be procured. Examples of solid-wall mounting
hardware include multi-sets, wedge anchors and sleeve anchors. Use the
type of mounting hardware most appropriate for the supporting structure.

RECEPTACLE INSTRUCTIONS (Plug-In LCS-P)
The LCS-P is tted with one of the following NEMA plugs:
NEMA L6-30P
NEMA 14-30P
NEMA 6-50P
NEMA 14-50P
The plug extends from the top of the LCS enclosure. Regulations limit this
plug to a maximum of 12 inches in length. For this reason, the LCS-P must be
mounted below the NEMA receptacle and must also be located within 12 inches
of it.
The NEMA 14-50P, 14-30P, and 6-50P congurations, the ground pin is located
at the top position of the plug. With this in mind, it is recommended that a
NEMA 14-50R, 14-30R, or 6-50R receptacle be oriented accordingly, such that
the ground socket is at the highest point.

CHARGE CABLE WRAP GUIDELINES
The LCS enclosure body is sculpted to allow the charge cable to be wrapped
around it for convenient storage as well as to keep the bulk of the cable off of
the ground and out of the way. As the charge cable is comprised of a number of
wires, coiling the charge cable too tightly around the LCS enclosure will result
in the charge cable feeling warmer to the touch than would ordinarily be the
case.
To minimize this effect, it is recommended that the charge cable be loosely
draped around the LCS enclosure body with larger loops. This will also permit
greater convenience in “pulling off” additional loops if a longer charge cable
reach is desired.
Figure 10. Drape the charge cable loosely around the LCS enclosure

MOVING & STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Note that both the hardwired LCS and the plug-in LCS-P are intended for xed
installations. For mounting requirements, consult the Mounting Procedures
section of the Installation Instructions in this manual.
Aways turn off input power to the charge station at the circuit breaker panel
prior to hard-wiring an LCS to or disconnecting an LCS from the service lines.
Likewise, always turn off input power to the charge station at the circuit breaker
panel prior to plugging an LCS-P into or unplugging an LCS-P from a NEMA
socket.
When transporting the charge station, do not lift or carry the entire unit by the
SAE-J1772TM charge cord. Likewise, do not lift or carry the entire unit by the
exible conduit and input conductors (LCS) or the NEMA plug (LCS-P).
The charge station has a non-operational storage temperature range of -40°C to
+80°C (-40°F to +176°F).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If this product should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
For the hardwired LCS:
The hardwired LCS is equipped with three service conductors shielded by three
feet of exible conduit. This product must be connected to a grounded, metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the ground lead on the product.
For the plug-in LCS-P:
The plug-in LCS-P is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied
electrician if doubt exists as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will
not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
AVERTISSEMENT: Une mauvaise connexion du conducteur de terre
peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique. Vérier avec un électricien
qualié si il existe un doute quant à savoir si le produit est correctement
mis à la terre. Ne pas modier la che fournie avec le produit – si elle
