The EVduty EVCCS is a smart current sensor that measures an electrical panel’s current consumption in real time.
The sensor sends the measured current’s information to one or more EVduty EVC30 charging stations electrically
connected to this panel. The EVC30 charging station(s) can then adjust their maximum charging current to ensure
that the electrical panel ‘s total current consumption does not exceed the limit of the main circuit breaker protecting
this electrical panel. Figure 1 illustrates the system operation.

Conguration
After completing the physical installation of the EVCCS module, you must complete the EVCCS module’s initial
configuration. Afterward, the EVduty EVC30 charging station(s) must also be configured so that they can correctly
receive the information emitted by the EVCCS module.
A: CONFIGURATION OF THE EVCCS MODULE
1. Ensure that the EVCCS module is powered. If this is the case, the "Power"LED will be lit green
and the "Network Communication"LED will flash green.
2. Using a smart device (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.), connect to the WiFi network emitted by the EVCCS
module, which will have a name similar to "EVduty-EVCCS-XXXXX"where "XXXXX" represents the EVCCS
module’s serial number.
3. Open a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
4. In the address bar, enter "192.168.4.1".
5. A page will appear asking to create a password (see Figure 6). Enter a password between 8 and 32
alphanumeric characters (a-z; A-Z; 0-9). This password will be requested if a reconfiguration of the EVCCS
module is required. Then, click "Submit".

Fill this box only if the target WiFi network does not appear for security reasons.
f) WiFi Network Password
(Optional) Password of the WiFi network to which the EVCCS module is to connect.
g) IP Address
(Optional) Local IP address of the EVCCS module. A value of 0.0.0.0 means that the EVCCS
module will obtain this information by DHCP.
Possible value: IPv4 address format "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd"
Default value: 0.0.0.0

B: CONFIGURATION OF THE EVDUTY EVC30 CHARGING
STATION(S)
NOTE: In order to be compatible with the EVCCS module, the EVC30 charging station’s internal software version
must be equal to or higher than "1.3.0.24-X.X.X.X".
1. Make sure the EVC30 charging station is not currently charging a vehicle. Disconnect from the vehicle if necessary.
2. Disable the EVC30 charging station’s power supply and reactivate it. This will cause the charging station to reboot,
which is necessary for the configuration.
NOTE: Following its reboot, the EVC30 charging station will emit a WiFi access point during at least 5 minutes.
The user will thus have 5 minutes to congure the EVC30 charging station. After this time, the EVC30 charging
station may stop emitting its WiFi access point.
3. Make sure the EVC30 charging station is powered. If it is, the main LED will be lit green.
4. Using a smart device (smart phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) connect to the WiFi network emitted by the EVC30
charging station, which will have a name similar to "EVduty-EVC30-XXXXX"where "XXXXX" represents
the EVC30 charging station’s serial number.
5. Open a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
6. In the address bar, enter "192.168.4.1".
7. A page will appear asking for a username and a password (see Figure 9).
Enter "admin"for the username and "evduty"for the password. Click "Submit".

Troubleshooting
Table 2 lists some of the most common problems as well as their causes and possible solutions.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
"Power" LED is
not lit
The EVCCS module
is not receiving
adequate power.
Check that the power outlet in which the power supply is plugged
provides adequate voltage.
Check that the power supply unit has an output voltage of +5VDC.
"Network
communication"
LED flashes green
only once
The EVCCS module is
not properly configured
and cannot connect to
the local network.
Check parameters in the EVCCS module configuration.
If the EVCCS module is connected via an Ethernet network cable,
check the connections at each end of the cable and check the
router settings.
"Network
communication"
LED flashes green
only twice
The EVCCS
module fails to
properly connect to
at least one EVC30
charging station.
Check parameters in the configuration of the EVCCS module and
in the EVC30 charging station, specifically the "Channel ID". This
value must be configured identically for both device types.
Check that both the EVCCS module and the EVC30 charging
station are on the same local network and that this local network
allows communication from one device to another.
"Error" LED flashes
red
The EVCCS module
detects an error. See "Table 1: States of light indicators"
Main breaker
tripped
The EVCCS
module is not
properly configured.
Check parameters in the EVCCS module configuration, specifically
the "Circuit breaker value". This parameter must be identical
to the value of the circuit breaker to be protected.
The EVC30
charging station is not
properly configured.
Check parameters in the EVC30 charging station configuration,
specifically the "Channel ID". This must not be set
to "0 = disabled" in the EVC30 charging station.
The EVC30
charging station is
charging vehicles
very slowly, at a
current of about 6A
The electrical panel’s
power consumption
is very close to the
allowed limit.
None. System operating normally.
Loss or absence
of communication
between the EVCCS
module and the
EVC30 charging
station.
Check the local network to which the EVCCS module and the
EVC30 charging station are connected.
