So, what you want is a small circuit that listens to the pilot,
when the pilot completely disappears it will power up a relay
where the relay has a normally closed contact in the feed to
the charger, so the charger auto-resets itself as soon as
the pilot signal disappears.
This what you want?
How experienced are you with designing and building some
electronics?
This would probably not be more than 2 transistors,
a capacitor, three resistors, a diode and a relay.

Subject: [EVDL] Need help retrofitting EVI MCS 100-3 EVSE
I have a EVI MCS 100-3 EVSE that I have retrofitted by replacing the
Avcon with a Yazaki. What I have discovered however is that this
particular unit was programmed to only allow one charge cycle per charge
request. That is to say once a charge request is completed the unit
will no longer provide a pilot signal until it is unplugged and plugged
back in again. This behavior prevents the EVSE from working properly
with my new Leaf.
According to Jason at ClipperCreek this programming was done to get
around a bug that was in the original Honda EV Plus. The bug was that
after the Honda EV Plus finished a charge cycle it would keep listening
to the pilot if it was plugged in and would eventually kill the 12 volt
battery as a result. So having the pilot shut down after one cycle
prevented this.
I was told by the folks at ClipperCreek that there is currently no
practical method to remove this single cycle programming from this unit
and I should just consider buying a new unit or continue to work with
this unit as is. I was also told that they no longer have the documents
or programming equipment for this unit.
What information about the unit I could find on the web
http://www.bowzerbird.com/eviweb/products2.html#mcs100
So I am looking for help in removing this single cycle feature. Any
help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
