EV Charging Tester
l a u n a M s r e s U 1 EV Charging Tester The EV charging tester is an equipment that determines the status of rapid/standard charges, high-voltage relay, and the presence of any abnormality in rapid and high-voltage charging path of the electric vehicle.
l a u n a M s r e s U 2 Precautions Precautions when handling high-voltage parts Before inspecting or repairing high-voltage system, make sure to separate the safety plug to cut off the high voltage. Make sure to remove metal substances (watch, ring, and other metal products, etc.) from your body as they may cause high-voltage short circuit, which causes human and vehicle damages. Before starting any operation related to high voltage, please wear personal protective equipment for safety accident prevention. Please make sure that persons other than the operator wearing the protective equipment are prohibited from touching any part related to high-voltage parts. Precautions when utilizing the product Remove foreign substances from the component and keep its cleanliness before and after using the equipment. Make sure you familiarize yourself with contents of the manual before use, in order to follow the procedures and instructions. Before using the equipment, please familiarize yourself with safety instructions for vehicle management, which were issued by the manufacturer of the vehicle. Use the equipment only in a well-ventilated space, and make sure to weak protective equipment
(protective glasses and gloves, etc.). If the equipment is damaged by external shock, immediately stop using the equipment. If the equipment needs to be repaired, make sure to request the equipment manufacturer to perform the repair work. (Abnormal repair may become the cause of equipment damage) The equipment must not be exposed to rain or snow. The equipment must not be used for purposes other than the purpose of its manufacture. Do not leave the equipment being installed in the vehicle. If you do not use the equipment within its operating temperature range (0 40 ), it may become the cause of its breakdown. These connectors are used for CP/PD voltage check and only trained professionals should use (or access).

l a u n a M s r e s U 5 Advance Preparation Entering into the function screen Phase 1 Select [S/W Management]. Reference Before performing the function, VCI II must be connected to OBD connector on the vehicle. Phase 2 Select the type of vehicle to be measured.
l a u n a M s r e s U 6 Phase 3 Select
[Vehicle Charging Controller] ->
[Charging Line Test] menu.
l a u n a M s r e s U 7 Connection of the equipment Phase 1 After checking the purpose and condition of the EV charging test, press button at the bottom of the screen. Phase 2 Press button to connect the charging test equipment.
l a u n a M s r e s U 8 Phase 3 Select the equipment in the research result. Phase 4 After the selected equipment is registered in equipment currently being connected, press button at the bottom of the screen.
l a u n a M s r e s U 9 Phase 5 Once the BT signal of the equipment is connected normally, BT/Power LED of the equipment main body will be turned on with blue light.
l a u n a M s r e s U 10 Major Functions Main screen It shows major functions of the EV charging line test, and the users can run a desired function by touching it.
l a u n a M s r e s U 11 Self-test on the test equipment Menu Description of function This is a function for checking whether there is abnormality in the charging gun when an error occurs while the main test function is being operated, or if there is no change in voltage in connection test. Description Once you enter into the function screen, the self-test will be run right away, and the results will be shown on the screen after approximately 20 seconds. Reference Please run the corresponding function only after removing the charging test gun from the inlet. Notification The message below will appear when NG occurs.
l a u n a M s r e s U 12 Charging gun connection test Menu Description of function This is a function that measures CP/PD voltage value to check whether the charging test equipment is normally connected to the inlet. Description The table at the top of the screen shows voltage value per operation and test results. The graph in the middle of the screen shows change in CP/PD voltage values of the controller, which are measured in real time through the diagnostic communication. Determination condition
l a u n a M s r e s U 13 Charging line test Menu Description of function The following 3 different functions will be performed as the main test functions:
1. Rapid charge relay test 2. Rapid charging line test 3. Standard charging line test 1. Rapid charge relay test This is a test that checks if there is abnormality in the rapid charge relay operation through a high-voltage rapid charge port. Determination condition
l a u n a M s r e s U 14 2. Rapid charging line test This is a test that checks whether there is abnormality in the rapid charging line that goes through
[high-voltage battery ->
inverter -> charge port] through the path of the high-voltage rapid charge port. Determination condition Comparison between
*the charging equipment measured values and
*diagnostic communication values Charging equipment measured value: BMU controllers diagnosis communication voltage value Diagnostic communication value: actually measured voltage value of the high-voltage rapid charge port Reference If the test result is NG, it will receive the breakdown status from the vehicle to indicate the problematic part as red light on the screen, and display the AS response method.
(Only the vehicle models after IONIC 6 can operate this function)
l a u n a M s r e s U 15 3. Standard charging line test This is a test that checks whether there is abnormality in the standard charging line, which goes through [high-voltage battery ->
*ICCU -> charge port] through the path of standard charge port. ICCU : Integrated Charging Control Unit When you enter into the function screen, the test will be run with a fixed default value of 8A. Then, the user can change the current value to be measured by touching a desired current value (6, 8, 10, or 12 A) to proceed the measurement. Determination condition The standard charging will be initiated and the running current value (A) will be measured.
(Error range 15%) Notification In the case of 12 A, using a power strip may lead to causing a safety accident. Thus, the following notification will be shown, and the test will be conducted only when the user approves it.
l a u n a M s r e s U 16 Notification Battery charging current is adjusted to 90%
- 60% depending on the users charging environment and battery life. (The current values between 3 and 5 A can also be charged) Once the measurement is completed, click test. button to close the
l a u n a M s r e s U 17 Test results After the test is closed, you can check the entire test results that were measured.
