Lawrence, The AVCON did not have a proximity wire, because proximity of the Claw was sensed by a magnet embedded in the claw closing a magnetic relay contact inside the inlet, so you would see two same-color wires on the inlet that were shorted together when the Claw was close. AVCON did use the standard 240V hot-hot plus ground and a pilot. You should be able to see these 4 wires coming into the charging station. I am used to see the charger wire to use: thick green = ground thick red = hot thick black = hot thin blue = pilot
I have never seen neutral in a charging station wiring on the J1772 side (yes, AVCON is 1st gen J1772) only on the service side.

Avcon was very through in star screw binding and gluing together the CLAW. After application of mallet and screwdriver the insides were reveled. Comparing the contact surfaces on the front to the back wires. Bottom. Ground. Center left. Hot. Center Right. Hot. One from right. Probably pilot. Right. Maybe proximity if Avcon had that. Colors of wire. Green Ground. Black and Red. Hot. Blue is wired to the 14-50 plug as neutral. More evidence of pilot. Green(small) might proximity but is unknown. I couldn't find an Avcon pinout on the web. The small green wire seems to have some function on Avcon. If someone has the Avcon pinout that would be helpful.

Clearly showing 5 contacts. 5 wires. Green big. Red. Black. Blue and small green. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
