CHARACTERISTICS

CONDITIONS FOR APPLICATION
The DCC-10 is an Energy Management System specially designed to allow the connection of an EV Charger, in a house or dwelling, to an electrical panel that is at full capacity and would otherwise need to have an expensive service upgrade.
MAIN POWER SUPPLY (CB)
The DCC – Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) 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 (QU0230, QU0240, QU0250 or QU0260).
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 the factory.
POWER OUTAGE
In the event of a power outage, the DCC – EVEMS automatically restore 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.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

NOTES For outdoor installation, use our NEMA 3R enclosure (DCC-10-XXA- 3R).

DCC INSTALLATION
STEP 1: CHECK THE PACKAGE CONTENTS

INSTALLATION VIDEO
To access our installation video, visit our website www.dccelectric.com
STEP 2: PREPARATIONS FOR INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the main power

2. Select the DCC intended location.
   Select an intended location preferably less than 25 feet away from the electric panel (power source). The current transformers supplied have a wiring of 25 feet in length, but can be extended (see the section Step 4: Conductor connexions for the extension details).
   The DCC can be mounted:
   – on a ceiling
   – on a wall
   NOTE: The DCC controller must be mounted so that the nameplate remains visible at all times.
   Do not install the DCC:
   – Outdoor, unless the DCC is ordered with our NEMA 3R enclosure.
   – In a location with high level of risk.
   – Nearby inflammable materials, explosives or fuels, chemical products and vapors.

3. Before installation, check the DCC mounting position.
   Wall installation
   Refer to the information on the enclosure to insure proper installation.

   EVSE powered: go to the next step.
   EVSE not energized: check the charging station connections.

STEP 7: SECURE AND RE-ENERGIZE
Secure

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

Re-energize

1. Supply electrical power to the DCC.

STEP 8: IDENTIFICATION

1. Identify the branch circuit breaker.

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

| The charging station is energized.
---|---
| 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.
| The charging station is not energized. The total loads exceed 80%. The resumption time will start when the total load is lower than 80%.
| 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.
