Preface

Congratulations on purchasing and using METREL A 1532 XA EVSE adapter accessory with METREL test and measuring instruments. The A 1532 XA is an extender for interfacing Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to test the socket of the installation tester for verification of electrical safety and functional testing, inclusive load test. It is intended for testing Mode 3 EV supply equipment with a type 2 connector. A 1532 XA EVSE adapter is a special accessory intended to be used with METREL installation
testers.

Safety and operational considerations

2.1 Warnings and notes
In order to maintain the highest level of operator safety while carrying out various tests and measurements METREL recommends keeping your EVSE adapter in good condition and undamaged. When using the adapter, consider the following general warnings:

• Warning on the A 1532 XA means »Read the Instruction manual with special care for safe operation«. The symbol requires an action!
• If the A 1532 XA is used in a manner not specified in this Instruction manual or The instruction manual of target test equipment, the protection provided by the A 1532 XA and test equipment may be impaired!
• Read this Instruction manual carefully, otherwise, the use of the A 1532 XA may be dangerous for the operator, for test equipment, or for the tested object!
• Do not use the A 1532 XA if any damage is noticed!
• Mains test sockets and banana sockets are intended for test purposes only, as described in this manual!
• Service intervention is allowed to be carried out only by a competent authorized person!
• All normal safety precautions have to be taken in order to avoid the risk of electric shock when working on electrical installations!
• Consider maximal load current for intermittent and continuous operation!

2.3 Standards applied

The A 1532 XA adapter is manufactured and tested in accordance with the following regulations:

Safety (LVD)
EN 61010 – 1
EN 61010 – 2 – 030
EN 61010 – 031| Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use – Part 1: General requirements
Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control
and laboratory use – Part 2-030: Particular requirements for testing and measuring circuits
Safety requirements for hand-held probe assemblies for electrical measurement and test

requirements

Note about EN and IEC standards:
Text of this manual contains references to European standards. All standards of EN 6xxxx (e.g. EN 61010) series are equivalent to IEC standards with the same number (e.g. IEC 61010) and differ only in amended parts required by the European harmonization procedure.

Adapter description

Legend:

1. Banana socket outputs for connection to 3-phase installation tester or load
   Banana socket outputs are intended for test purposes only!

2. Voltage on EVSE output indicators

3. Proximity Pilot (PP STATE) resistance (current code) selector for simulation of EV cable presence and current rating detection

4. Control Pilot (CP STATE) resistance selector for simulation of electric vehicle status

5. Socket output for connection to single-phase installation tester or load
   Socket output is intended for test purposes only! Do not use it as a power supply extender!

6. Type 2 Male Plug connector for connection to EVSE.

7. BNC output connector for checking Control Pilot (CP) signal
   BNC output connector is intended for connection to the oscilloscope for test purposes only!

8. Push buttons for simulation of faults on CP circuit and PE

Warning:

• Socket output and banana socket outputs are energized when one or more indicators (2) lit.

A 1532 XA operation

• Safety and functional tests:
• Connect the A 1532 XA output to the installation tester (via mains test socket or via safety banana sockets)
• Set PP STATE (3) to position N.C. and CP STATE (4) to position A.
• Connect A 1532 XA plug (6) to the EVSE.
• Run installation tests for non-energized installation circuits.
• Simulate different charging conditions with PP STATE (3) and CP STATE (4). Verify the response of the EVSE.
• In PP STATE (3) position different to N.C. and CP STATE (4) position in C or D , the EVSE output is energized (indicated by one or more (2) Voltage on EVSE indicators).
• Run installation tests for energized installation circuits.
• Run load test with maximum 13 A.
• Set CP STATE (4) to position A to de-energize EVSE, before disconnecting A 1532 XA plug (6) from EVSE.

Note:

• Only phase L1 of 3-phase EVSE is accessible through test socket (5).
• For the load test, mains socket or L1, L2, L3, N terminals can be used.

PP STATE options

Coding for a maximum current of the EV cable.
EVSE is connected and can operate in any of these coding positions.

20 A
32 A
63 A

CP STATE options

EVSE does not supply energy
B| EV connected| EV detected, EV not ready to receive energy, EVSE does not supply energy
C| EV charged without ventilation| EV ready to receive energy, EVSE is supplying energy if ventilation is not required.
D| EV charged with ventilation| EV ready to receive energy and requires ventilation, EVSE is supplying energy only if ventilation exists.

Recommended sequences:

• A-B-C for non-ventilated charging
• A-B-D for charging with ventilation required

Note:

• With A 1532 XA alone only proximity pilot and control pilot functions of EVSE can be checked.

Fault simulation options

| Diode short| EVSE output should de-energize within 3 s.

The EV supply equipment unlocks the socket-outlet at a maximum of 30 s.

PEop| PE open| EVSE output should de-energize within 100 ms.
CPsh| CP short to PE via diode| EVSE output should de-energize within 3 s.
The EV supply equipment unlocks the socket-outlet at a maximum of 30 s.

Recommended test procedure:

• While the EVSE is in state C or D press and holds any of the fault simulation push buttons (8) for at least 3 s and check the response of the EVSE.

Checking CP signal

• Connect Oscilloscope to BNC connector (7) using 10:1 probe with 10 MΩ input resistance.
• Set PP STATE (3) position to proper EVSE current output selection.
• Set CP STATE (4) to position A.
• Set tested EVSE to operate.
• Set CP STATE (4) to position B and/or C and modify PP STATE (3) position to all applicable currents.
• Check waveforms and amplitudes of measured CP signal.

Notes:

• If the input resistance is 1 MΩ instead of recommended 10 MΩ, the measured signal amplitude is approx. 17 % lower than the actual value.
• Oscilloscope probe shall be compensated to get proper frequency response.
•  Portable / handheld battery-powered oscilloscope is recommended for observing CP signals.

Warning:

• If 50 Hz / 60 Hz noise is visible in the signal, it is possible to suppress it by connecting the PE socket to oscilloscope ground. However, in this case it must be assured before that there is no hazardous voltage on the PE conductor of the EVSE, and use of safe accessories is recommended.

Maintenance

An unauthorized person is not allowed to open the A 1532 XA EVSE adapter. There are no user-replaceable components inside the adapter.
5.1 Cleaning
No special maintenance is required for the housing. To clean the surface of the adapter, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with soapy water or alcohol. Then leave the A 1532 XA to dry totally before use.
Warnings:

• Do not use liquids based on petrol or hydrocarbons!
• Do not spill cleaning liquid over the adapter!
