Section 4: Operation

4.1 Overview

The VersiCharge Electric Vehicle Charging Systems incorporate industry
accepted operating standards for electric vehicle charging. These include
the operation and communications protocols between the VersiCharge
and the vehicle, and the required safety features. This section will detail
the steps of operation.

4.2 Typical Operation

The VersiCharge is primarily a 'plug-and-play' device.
• Descriptions of various device states can be found in Section 2.6
• Verify that the VersiCharge is in the 'Power Available' state by
ensuring that only the 'Power Available' indicator is illuminated.
• Remove the connector from the connector holster by pressing the
button on the connector handle and pulling the handle away from
the VersiCharge holster.
• Plug the connector into the corresponding receiver on the electric
vehicle. Feel for a positive connection with a click.
WARNING! Do not force the connector into the receiver on the vehicle.
Forcing the connection can cause damage to the vehicle and/or the
VersiCharge. If the connection between the receiver and connector
shows any resistance, inspect the pins in each, and if damage is
found, call a qualified service person.
• If the vehicle does not require a charge, the VersiCharge will go
into the 'Ready to Charge' state.
