Caution

The Phoenix Inlets CHARX T1HBI12 and CHARX T2HBI12 (Generation 4) use a

different PT1000 characteristic curve than implemented within the VC-EVCC. As a

result, the VC-EVCC will not stop charging at the critical temperature of 90°C.

Instead, the vehicle must monitor the resistance values of PTC1 and PTC2 which are

transmitted on the J1939 vehicle CAN. The vehicle is responsible to stop charging

once a temperature of 90°C is reached.

For further details about the PT1000 characteristic curves and the respective

resistance thresholds of the Phoenix Inlets (Generation 4) please refer to the Phoenix

installation manual.

In general, a vehicle inlet must have the following characteristics in order to be compatible

with the VC-EVCC:

 12V actuator for locking/unlocking mechanism

 Position feedback evaluation according to chapter “Plug Locking”

 Temperature sensors for AC charging (PTC) and DC charging (PT1000)

The VC-EVCC provides UDS configurations for certain inlet characteristics like resistors or

temperature sensors. Details are described in the chapter “UDS communication”.

Note

Inlet manufacturers are continuously developing inlets and adapting them to the new

requirements. For this reason, the range of available inlets is also changing. Once

other inlets are used than mentioned above, please contact the Vector support in order

to check the compatibility with the VC-EVCC.
