The FLIR EV86-T2 EV Charger Analyzer with MeterLink is a portable test instrument for EV charging station operators, service and maintenance providers, electrical professionals and automotive manufacturers. It brings the principal checks needed to assess the safety and performance of residential and commercial AC charging stations into one unit, helping technicians investigate protective-earth conditions, charging-interface behaviour, RCD/CCID operation and loop impedance. MeterLink connectivity also supports wireless capture of test results into reporting software.
Why Choose the FLIR EV86-T2?
-
RUN THE PRINCIPAL AC CHARGER CHECKS FROM ONE INSTRUMENT
Auto testing covers PE Pre-Test, the EVSE interface, RCD testing and loop impedance from the settings menu. This gives maintenance teams a practical sequence for assessing an AC charging point before deciding whether it can remain in service or needs further investigation.
-
CHECK PROTECTIVE-EARTH CONDITIONS BEFORE TESTING
The PE Pre-Test measures up to 50 V AC/DC and indicates pass or fault when more than 50 V AC/DC is detected between the PE conductor and touch sensor. That early check helps the technician identify a potentially hazardous protective-earth condition before proceeding with the rest of the assessment.
-
SIMULATE VEHICLE CONNECTION AND CONTROL-PILOT STATES
PP state simulation provides Not connected, Connected and Connected + Latch conditions, while CP Error (E state) simulation provides Pass/Fault. These functions let an operator check how an EVSE responds as connection states change and when a control-pilot error is presented.
-
ASSESS SINGLE-PHASE AND THREE-PHASE AC EVSE OUTPUTS
The EVSE interface supports single-phase operation to 250 V maximum and three-phase operation to 230 / 440 V maximum at 50 / 60 Hz and a maximum of 10 A. Voltage phase indication for L1, L2, L3, PE and N helps the technician identify the conductors present during testing.
-
TEST RCD AND CCID TRIPPING BEHAVIOUR
The EV86-T2 provides trip-time and ramping-current tests for the AC and DC protection conditions listed in its specification. Testing at 0° and 180° gives service teams defined results for diagnosing protective-device operation at an AC charging station.
-
WORK ACROSS TYPE 2 AND TYPE 1 CONNECTIONS
A Type 2 connection is built into the analyzer, and a Type 2-to-Type 1 converter is included. This allows one test kit to support the two connector types without requiring a separate analyzer.
-
CAPTURE RESULTS WIRELESSLY FOR REPORTING
Bluetooth BLE connectivity provides a specified range of 10 m (32 ft), enabling MeterLink transfer of results into reporting software. A 3.5 in. TFT-LCD, rechargeable Li-Battery and 12 hours of continuous battery life support field use across multiple charging points.
