GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TIS EV-TEST100 model is an adapter designed to interface with the electric car charging stations’ sockets (EVSE – Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment) and perform electrical safety tests on these devices. The adapter is capable of simulating the presence  of an electric vehicle in order to measure the output voltage signals from the charging stations as well as fault conditions. TIS EV-TEST100 can be used in combination with the following TIS electrical safety tester in EVSE AUTO Sequence Mode, or other appropriate electrical safety testers in Manual Mode (please see § 5.3):

(*) The list of available models can be changed without notice. In case of doubt contact the after-sales service
The adapter has the following features:

• Use for EVSE stations with charging modes 2 and 3
• Test cable with Type 2 connectors (IEC 62196-2)
• Vehicle simulation via Control Pilot system (CP state)
• Cable current capacity simulation via Proximity Pilot system (PP state)
• Fault PE simulation condition
• Fault condition simulation on the Control Pilot (Fault E)
• Efficiency check of internal station energy meter (LOAD section)

PREPARATION FOR USE

3.1. INITIAL CHECKS
Before shipping, the adapter has been checked from an electric as well as a mechanical point of view. All possible precautions have been taken so that the adapter is delivered free of damage. However, a thorough check of the adapter is recommended in order to
detect any damage suffered during transport. In case anomalies are found, immediately contact the forwarding agent. Also check whether the packaging contains all parts indicated in § 7.1.1. In case of discrepancy, please contact the Dealer. Should the adapter be returned, please follow the instructions given in § 8.
CAUTION
Should the adapter be used differently from what is specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided may be impaired
3.2. ADAPTER POWER SUPPLY
The adapter is powered directly by the charging station via integrated plug cable.

3.3. STORAGE
In order to guarantee accurate measurement, after a long storage time, wait for the adapter to come back to normal condition (see § 7).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1. TEST ON EVSE

1. Connect the adapter to the In1 input of the HT multifunction instrument using the C100EV supplied cable (see Fig. 1 – part1)
2. Connect the L1, PE and N terminals (see Fig. 1 – parts 2, 3 and 4) of the adapter respectively to B1, B3 and B4 inputs of the TIS MFT-PRO or TIS MFT-PRO+ multifunction testers by using the cables supplied together
3. Connect the Type 2 plug cable (see Fig. 1 – part 11) to the EVSE
4.  Move the PP STATE selector (see Fig. 1 – part 5) to the NC position
5. Move the CP STATE selector (see Fig. 1 – part 6) to the A position
6. Move the FAULT selector (see Fig. 1 – part 7) to the STATUS OK position
7. Select the “EVSE Test” mode on the TIS MFT-PRO or TIS MFT-PRO+ multifunction testers
8. Press the GO/STOP button on the TIS MFT-PRO or TIS MFT-PRO+ multifunction testers and follow the guided test procedure (see the related user manual)
9. The full color digital display will then guide you through the connections and settings for each test. Where a change of settings is required the relevant information on screen will flash red
10. Please note that the EVSE will need be turned off and then back on again to move onto the next RCD test. This is to allow the internal RCDs within the EVSE to reset

CAUTION
For detailed instructions on the use of the adapter, refer to the user manual of the TIS MFT-PRO or TIS MFT-PRO+ multifunction testers to which it must be connected.
Please note that our TIS1908 EVSE Test Report is available for the manual recording of tests      5.2. EFFICIENCY CHECK OF EVSE ENERGY METER
The adapter allows to perform a test in order to evaluate the efficiency of the energy meter inside the EVSE. Consider the following steps:

1. Connect an external load with max absorbed current 10A AC to the input terminals L, N, PE (see Fig. 1 – parts 8 and 10) of LOAD section
2. Set the three switches to the positions: STATUS OK, C or D (CP STATE), and 13A, 20A, 32A or 63A (PP STATE)
3. Refer to the instructions of the EVSE under test for the energy meter reading.

5.3. MANUAL SEQUENCE MODE TEST ON EVSE

1. Continuity Test
   ➢ Connect the TIS EV-TEST100 to the EVSE charging unit
   ➢ Set PP State to NC, set CP State to A and set Fault to OK
   ➢ Connect one lead from your continuity tester to the PE socket on the TIS EV- TEST100 and the other lead to an Earth Point on the circuit
   ➢ Carry out the Continuity Test

2. Insulation Test
   ➢ Leave all TIS EV-TEST100 dial settings as for the Continuity Test in point

1. ➢ Now using your Insulation Tester, check the Insulation integrity between L1 (also L2 & L3 for 3 Phase), N & PE

3. Status Checks
   ➢ To check that the EVSE will deliver power to the vehicle, set the PP State dial in accordance with the system, set the CP State dial to C and the Fault dial to OK. You should be able to hear the EVSE turn on and there should be visual indication that power is on
   ➢ To check that the EVSE will cut power in the event of an Earth Fault, set the Fault into PE. You should be able to hear the EVSE turn off and there should be visual indication that power is off
   ➢ To check that the EVSE will cut power in the event of an Electric Fault, set the Fault to E. Power should remain off and there should be visual indication that power is off

4. Loop Impedance Tests
   ➢ Set the PP State to reflect your system power, CP State to C and Fault to OK. Connect your Loop tester to L1 (L2 & L3 for 3 Phase), N & PE and carry out the Loop Tests

5. RCD Tests
   ➢ Please note that not all MFTs and RCD Testers are capable of testing A Type & 6mA B Type RCDs
   ➢ Leave all settings as per point 4) above. Connect your RCD Tester as per point 4) above. Using your RCD Tester, check the A Type RCD in the EVSE – this is best done using a Ramp Test feature
   ➢ There should also be a 6mA B Type RCD as part of the EVSE. Reset the whole device and set your RCD Tester to test the B Type RCD in the EVSE – this is best done using a Ramp Test feature
