SPECIFICATIONS

The DCC – Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) is a safety device with programmable controller that protects an electrical distribution circuit in relation to its main breaker. It will prevent overloading the electrical distribution circuit by momentarily turning off the power to the charging station when the demand exceeds 80% of the main breaker rating. DCC-9-PCB is the electronic infrastructure that fits inside the DCC-9-BOX to complete a fully working DCC-9 unit.

• Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
• Operation temperature: -22°F to 113°F (-30°C to 45°C)
• Total weight:   6 Ib (2,72 kg)
  *Approximative and can change without notice.

CHARACTERISTICS

CONDITIONS FOR APPLICATION
The DCC-9 is an Energy Management System specially designed to allow the connection of an EV Charger to be connected to a power source without affecting load calculation.

INSTALLATIONS TYPES
Group installation, Wall installation, Ceiling installation

MAIN POWER SUPPLY (CB)
The DCC – Electric Vehicle Energy Management System can be powered by a 240/208V AC single phase source.

The following options are offered by each DCC model:

SECONDARY LOAD SUPPLY (EVC)
The DCC – EVEMS will provide power to a charging station through a 30A, 40A, 50A or 60A 240/208V AC circuit breaker, L1, L2 and ground. The DCC is equipped with a Square D circuit breaker (QUO230, QUO240, QUO250 or QUO260).

TRIP PERCENTAGE (TP)
The DCC – EVEMS is factory set to turn off the charging station if the total consumption of a service exceeds 80%. For other configurations, please contact us.

POWER OUTAGE
In the event of a power outage, the DCC – EVEMS automatically restores the power supply to the vehicle charging station when power returns.

RECOVERY TIME (RT)
Following a power cut to the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), a 15 minutes delay is initiated to monitor the total consumption of the electrical power system. Power to the vehicle will then be restored if the total load consumption is lower than 80% of the main circuit breaker rating during a period exceeding the 15 minutes’ recovery time.

DCC INSTALLATION

STEP 1: CHECK THE PACKAGE CONTENTS

STEP 2: PREPARATIONS FOR INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the main power supply from the DCC-9-BOX.
2. Remove DCC-9-BOX cover unit.
3. Unscrew two red-marked screws on the DCC-9-BOX backplate.
4. Unscrew the two wires attached to the white terminal block.
5. Unscrew the white terminal block from the backplate and displace it.
   NOTE: The white terminal block is not needed to complete the installation of the PCB.

STEP 3: MOUNTING THE PCB ON THE BACKPLATE OF THE DCC-9-BOX

1. Take the PCB unit, clip the current transformer marked “CT1” onto cable identified by number “1”.
2. Clip the current transformer marked “CT2” onto cable identified by number “2”.
3. Place the PCB unit on the backplate and into the slider, ensuring that the EV Charger Breaker is aligned with the “EV Charger 240V” sticker.
4. Fasten the PCB into place using pre-drilled holes and re-using red-marked screws onto the backplate.

STEP 4: CONNECTING THE PCB

1. Connect the L1 cable to the relay Terminal 1.
2. Connect the L2 cable to the relay Terminal 2.

STEP 5: CONDUCTOR CONNEXIONS
Consult the diagram on the next page for all details on the cable connections configuration. This diagram is also found under the DCC cover.

STEP 6: DIP SWITCH PROGRAMMING FOR MAIN POWER SUPPLY (CB)

1. Identify the set-up section on the DCC.
2. Set up the section as per the layout corresponding to the main power supply (CB):

STEP 7: START-UP DCC power supply

1. Supply electrical power to the DCC.
2. Wait ten (10) seconds.
3. Check if the relay is switched on.
4. Check the pilot light:
5. GREEN at all time: compliant installation, go to the next step. RED: refer to the Lights code section.

Charging station power supply

1. Put the circuit breaker in the ON position.
2. Check if the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is powered: EVSE powered: go to the next step.
   EVSE not energized: check the charging station connections.

STEP 8: SECURE AND RE-ENERGIZE Secure

1. Turn off the power on the DCC.
2. Put the cover back.

Re-energize
Supply electrical power to the DCC.

STEP 9: IDENTIFICATION

1. Register all the information of the charging station owner (address and parking space) in the space provided on the cover.
2. Register all configuration settings of the main power supply (essential load) in the space provided on the cover.
3. Register all configuration settings of the charging station in the space provided on the cover.

APPLICATION

Electric vehicle recovery time
Following a power cut to the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), a 15 minutes delay is initiated to monitor the total consumption of the electrical system. Power to the vehicle will then be restored if the total load consumption is lower than 80% of the main circuit breaker rating.

Electric vehicle charging time
It is recommended to schedule the charging vehicle program during hours of low electrical consumption to minimize interruptions to the electric charging station.

MAINTENANCE

Do not use any cleaning solvents to clean the DCC.

LIGHTS CODE

1. The charging station is energized.
2. The charging station is energized. The total load exceeds 80%. If the loads exceed 80% for a predetermined period, the charging station will be de-energized.
3. The charging station is not energized. The total loads exceed 80%. The resumption time will start when the total load is lower than 80%.
4. The charging station is not energized. The total load is lower than 80% and the recovery time is in progress. Each flash mean two (2) minutes before the resumption of power to the charging station. (ex: 3 flashes = 6 minutes before power to the charging station). During that period, if the total load exceeds 80%, the recovery time will restart from the beginning.

Malfunction:

1. Check all connections and voltage.
2. Check the DIP switch configuration settings.
3. Check if the current transformers (CT) are properly connected and interlocked.
4. Check if the connection for the current transformers are properly connected to the PCB electronics.
5. If the problem persists, send pictures of the installation at [email protected] and then call 1 833-717-1355.
   No power. Check the power source.
