FEV500 Fast DC EV Charging Station Analyzer

Fluke FLK-FEV500/CCS1 PRO DC Charging Station Overview

The Fluke FLK-FEV500/CCS1 PRO is a DC EV charging station analyzer that helps technicians easily test and fix chargers for electric vehicles. It's an all-in-one device that can perform safety checks, test compatibility, and simulate charging, all through a CCS1 connection, without needing an actual EV present. This unit is designed for field use, offering guided testing, clear pass/fail indicators, and reporting features (with TruTest software included) to help maintenance teams keep chargers running, set them up quickly, and troubleshoot problems faster on commercial and fleet charging networks.

Specifications

• Connector type: CCS1 for fast DC EV charging station testing.

• Simulated charging load: up to 2 kW.

• Display: 7-inch TFT touchscreen, 1024 × 600, readable in bright outdoor conditions and operable with PPE gloves.

• Battery: customer-replaceable Li-ion battery with typical runtime of 10 hours.

• Charging: typical 3-hour recharge using a 65 W USB-C Power Delivery charger.

• Connectivity: USB-C, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and GPS time synchronization.

• Case and portability: rugged wheeled hard case, approximately 26 kg total weight.

• Supported testing scope includes communication, performance, insulation resistance, low impedance, IMD, and residual voltage measurements.

Key Benefits

• Comprehensive Testing:Combines both performance and safety evaluations in a single instrument.
• Bulit‑In EV Simulation, No Extra Gear Required: Emulates an electric vehicle during testing, removing the need for load banks, actual EVs, or separate multifunction testers. Confirms charger functionality and performance by applying a simulated kW load that mirrors real charging behavior.
• Autotest Capability: Executes preset test routines automatically and provides straightforward pass/fail outcomes without changing test leads or using additional tools.
• Operation: Features a sunlight‑readable touchscreen with guided workflows for simple navigation and easy interpretation of results.
• CCS Compatibility: Works with CCS connectors for broad interoperability, offered in both CCS1 and CCS2 versions.
• Portable, Field‑Ready Design: Durable construction suited for on‑site use, powered by a removable rechargeable battery—no external power source needed.
• Automated Data Handling: Logs and organizes unique EVSE and connection‑point identifiers to simplify asset tracking.
• TruTest Integration: Supports streamlined documentation and reporting of all test results.

Application Uses

• Commissioning newly installed fast DC charging stations before handoff to customers or site operators.

• Performing preventive maintenance checks to verify charger safety, communication, and power delivery.

• Troubleshooting field issues such as charging faults, communication errors, or intermittent performance problems.

• Validating interoperability across supported EVSE manufacturers in commercial, public, and fleet environments.

• Capturing repeatable test data and generating reports for service records, compliance, and maintenance planning.
