I have a high power 40A OpenEVSE for sale with RTC.
This consists of a 50A Range cable with a 14-50 plug, a OpenEVSE Plus ver 2.5 main board, a 50A contactor, a RGB display with a real time clock, a milti function power meter, and a 20 foot 40A J1772 cable from Quick Charge Power. Everything is mounted in a 6x6x4 inch junction box.
The J1772 cable is Quick Charge Power's small and ultra flexible unit. It is custom manfactured in Oregon and it is similar to the Tesla cable in that it uses dual paired wires for carrying the charging current.\
This unit is constructed with 50A components except for the J1772 cable which is 40A. It is designed to plug into a 14-50 recpticle protected by a 50A circuit breaker. 40A is 80% of 50A and it is the maximum allowed for a continuous load.
This EVSE will charge any EV that is J1772 compliant It will charge a RAV4 EV or a Mercedes B at full current. It will charge my Leaf at 27.5A or a Volt at 16A. 40A allows for future expansion if you plan to upgrade to a Tesla based EV. It can loaf charging a 30A EV like the Soul.
The Photos show it at work. I only have a 40A circuit so I limited the current. I do not know why photobucket rotated some photos. They were correct when uploaded.
I am going to step through the menu of a fully optioned system.
You get to the menu with a long press of the button. Short presses step through options ans a long press sets the option.
Setup service Level
This has 3 choices. You can force L1,L2, or leave in in Auto and let the board do its thing.
Setup Max Current.
This allows the current in the mode you are in to be set.
Setup Diode Check
Enable or disable the Diode Check. Leave it enabled.
Setup Vent Req’d Check.
This is a holdover from lead acid batteries. Leave it enabled.
Setup Ground Check.
In the USA leave in enabled to provide personal protection.
Setup GFI Self Test
This checks the GFCI circuit on power up. Leave it enabled
Setup Date and Time.
This allows for the real time clock to be set.
Setup Delay Timer
This has a sub menu to turn on the timer and set start and stop times.
Setup Restart
This restarts the EVSE like you had just plugged it in.
Setup Exit
This exits the menu while saving any changes. This is the usual way to exit
Button Functions
Up
1.In normal display situation,Time, current, electric quantity, power ,voltage will be displayed reverse circulation when short press
2.In the condition of power alarm threshold setting, short press the digital will plus one.
3.In power and short time reset condition short press will retreat to the reset state.
Down
1.In normal display situation,Time, current, electric quantity, power ,voltage will be displayed sequence circulation when short press
2.In the condition of power alarm threshold setting, short press the digital will Subtract one.
3.In power and short time reset condition short press will retreat to the reset state.
Setting
1.In the condition of power display,the device will enter into power alarm threshold setting condition after 3seconds long pressing
2.In the condition of power or time display, the device will enter into Power or time reset condition after 3seconds long pressing
OK
1.In normal display situation, short press will open or close the backlight
2.In the condition of power alarm threshold setting, short press will change the number
3.In power and short time reset condition, short press reset power and time,and exit reset situation
This is sold ASIS but I guarantee it will function upon receipt. The price is $365 plus $25 for UPS ground shipping. Local pickup in Anaheim near Disneyland is available.
Payment is by Paypal if I ship the unit or cash for local pickup.
I shamelessly took this from vegasbrad's add. It is a good idea to emphise the details. I have always depended on my user's common sense.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Because of lawyers I have to add this. This EVSE is intended for use ONLY by responsible adults. Because they are hand-made, they are not UL listed - but are made from UL listed parts. 240v electricity is serious business and caution should be exercised while using any EVSE. For safety's sake, do not use this EVSE outdoors in inclement weather unless it is a model that specifically says Outdoor or Waterproof. This EVSE has a GFCI built inside that protects from that point down line. (The J plug side of the the EVSE is safe for outdoors in all weather). BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH US, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH USING THIS EVSE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THEIR USE.
