Ecoharmony's EVSE Protocol Controller (EPC) is the intelligent part of the vCharge charging stations. It is the communication unit that enables Mode 3 charging in accordance with IEC 61851 and it is available to buy to those building their own EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) or upgrading/replacing parts in other charging stations.
The EPCs leave the factory programmed ready for use/installation at 32A. This is the maximum current advertised by the EPC. If you require a 16A EPC, this can be configured by removing the internal jumper connector. Other maximum currents can be set if required by wiring a resistor across the IC -0V terminals. Details of resistor values can be found in the manual.
This unit is a Tethered controller which is only compatible with tethered installations. If you are looking to build a socket charger please purchase our EPC 2.0 Lite
For further support on wiring and configuring the EPC check out this Wiring Exampleand download the manual.
The front face is 53mm from the face of the DIN rail
