My utility turns on the 240v power to charger at 10pm. Will this unit connect to my Volt automatically if it is plugged in prior to power activation?

Yes, You can program car to start charging at say 10:05 PM You may also use your smart phone to set up with the Volt.

Not sure I understand the question. My car has an internal timer that I set to midnight-to 5am so I pay the least amount for electricity. I get home, I plug the car in about 6pm. The Wattstation comes on briefly, then turns off until the timer tells it to come on again. I love this unit because you can customize it with a Gelaskin to make it look like a piece of art. Hope this helps.

No, the power has to be ON and set the volt charge time to immediate or place it on a schedule . That way as soon as it gets power it starts to charge. I hope this answered your question.

Your car, not the wall unit, decides when to initiate charging. At least that is how it works with my Nissan Leaf and the GE WattStation. If the timer is off, it will start charging immediately upon plug in. If the timer is on, it will follow the timer's instruction.

If your vehicle has a value charge capability then you should be able to plug in prior to 10 pm and the charger will automatically turn on at the scheduled time. I have a Ford focus electric and the charger will turn on automatically if plugged in prior to the value charge scheduled time.

It does not say in the attached manual, but there are adapters you can buy that do the conversion in the adaptor before going to the appliance you are using.However this is not automatic in power adaptor

I have not done this but, the directions say to just connect it as a 110 volt system instead of the 220 system and it changes it's self automatically.

No. When it's time to recharge, you won't have any power left to turn it on. Just plug it in and it will automatically recharge. A little light comes on to show you it's charging.

Not really it's going to be a waste of energy . I plugged it 2 hours before using it.

No I'm assuming you would need a power down converter 240v will fry the unit and probably even cause you some sort of harm

Yes, just plug it in to dedicated outlet, fill it up turn it on, ready in 24 hours.

Yes - This unit will work with ac voltage from 100 - 300v. Just remember you will only see 120v connecting between L1 and N (or L2 and Neutral) I have not hooked this unit up to L1 and L2 to see the full 240v. The Current Transformer (CT) can be hooked to either of the hot legs of a 240v setup. Your question about a low voltage DC signal is throwing me off. The signal coming off the CT will be low voltage but I don't know the ratio of transformer winding. I assume this will be a 1amp or 5 amp signal coming off the CT.

This unit has to be wired in and charges until needed should the power go out.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

No. This charger has to be wired to 240 volts source.It is more powerful than 110 volts, And cuts charge time way down.

I have mine plugged into a gfci outlet in my kitchen. If the outlet does trip you will have to pull the unit off to reset it

I really really really want to flame you but I won't. The adapter whether it be the car plug or anything else is to power the unit and power the unit only. It will automatically turn on when it has power and when it loses power it will then prompt you that it will shut off in 10 seconds unless you tell it to rely on the battery power. So the unit itself is NOT a battery charger and will rely on the external power source first and once that external source is cut it will rely on battery power.

It should be connected to the AC charger at all times when not in use. The AC charger is designed to automatically reduce the charge to a small trickle charge after the battery is topped up to maintain charge and prevent charge-discharge cycles which reduces battery life. I have mine connected since two years. It consumes a small 1 watt load while trickle charging.

Yes once the inverter is fully charged, the DC charging system shuts off as well as during a blackout the system will automatically turn on.

It does work manually if needed. Just a regular plug - not sure of the voltage...

Yes (it's actually 240V). You have to use two adjacent breakers (within either the 6 upper 15A, or the 4 lower 20A). The unit comes with two removable handle ties, and you need one of these for each 240V circuit you need. I used the uppermost two 15A breakers for a 240 V well connection, and it works fine.
