Introduction to the POLEMH6 – Identification of the POLEMH6 | 11
Introduction to the POLEMH6
Thank you very much for choosing the POLEMH6 mounting pole from ABL!
The POLEMH6 is designed for the outdoor installation of up to two ABL eMH3 Wallboxes. The internal small distribu-
tion box with terminal block provides protection against contact and weather and allows virtually maintenance-free
wiring of the wallbox(es) to the electricity grid. Thanks to additional top-hat rails, further modules (such as lightning
protection) can be installed as required. Access is via a housing cover that protects the interior of the mounting pole
from unauthorised access by means of an integrated lock.
Thanks to the powder-coated metal housing, the POLEMH6 is optimally protected against corrosion and, with hous-
ing impermeability in accordance with IP44, it is ideal for outdoor installation. To ensure a stable and secure posi-
tion outdoors, ABL recommends installing on the optionally available EMH9996 concrete foundation. Alternatively, a
self-constructed foundation can be used, but it must meet the same specifications.
Further information on technical data is available in the appendix from page28.
Identification of the POLEMH6
There is a rating plate on the inside right of the rear panel to identify the
POLEMH6. Before installation, open the housing cover and check the rating
plate to make sure that the model you have is the mounting pole intended
for your eMH3 Wallbox.
You can find further information on the POLEMH6 in section “Technical spec-
ifications” on page28.

Installation – Requirements for the installation site | 13
Installation
When installing the POLEMH6, various specifications regarding the location and the connection technology must be
met in order to ensure safe operation.
Requirements for the installation site
The POLEMH6 was developed for outdoor use. To ensure proper installation, you as the operator must adhere to the
following specifications regarding the location and positioning.
Be sure to observe all local regulations for electrical installations, fire prevention and accident prevention.
All guidelines for the installation of low-voltage systems in accordance with IEC 60364-1 and IEC 60364-5-52
apply.
The installation surface must have sufficient strength to withstand the mechanical loads. It is therefore strongly
recommended not to install the POLEMH6 directly on asphalt or a concrete floor, but to use a concrete foundation
such as the ABL EMH9996 with suitable specifications (concrete C20/25 in accordance with EN 206-1:2013).
A sufficiently dimensioned supply cable for the power supply of the respective wallbox must be provided at
the installation location. The supply cable must be laid so that it lines up with the pipe opening in the concrete
foundation and in the ground. If necessary, the supply cable must be protected against mechanical influences (by
a suitable hose or pipe) in the area in front of the foundation.
To integrate the wallbox(es) installed on the POLEMH6 in a group installation, suitable data cables must also be
laid to the installation location.
Suitable collision protection must be provided on site to provide the POLEMH6 with mechanical protection from
collision with a vehicle.
The minimum distance between the vehicle and the POLEMH6 should be no less than 50cm and no more than
150cm.
Select the installation location so that the charging cable from the wallbox easily reaches the charging socket on
the vehicle: the cable must not under any circumstances be strained when connected to the vehicle.
For the safe operation of your mounting pole, minimum distances to other technical installations must be ob-
served: you can obtain further information from your electrical contractor or distributor.
The POLEMH6 should not be installed in high-traffic areas or along thoroughfares.
The POLEMH6 is designed for operation at high ambient temperatures. However, it is important to ensure that the
maximum permissible operating temperature is not exceeded due to external influences such as direct sunlight or
similar.
Specifications for the mechanical installation of the POLEMH6
The entire installation of the POLEMH6 should always be carried out by qualified personnel: at least two people are
required for the mechanical installation.
For mechanical installation of the POLEMH6, you will need the following components:
Key for unlocking the housing
cover (included with the
POLEMH6)
EMH9996 concrete foun-
dation for installing the
mounting pole (available as
accessory)
DIN 912 A2 M10×35 hexagon
socket screw, 4 pieces
(included with the EMH9996)
| Installation – Laying the EMH9996 foundation

WARNING!
Using a custom foundation
As an alternative to the EMH9996 concrete foundation, which is available as an accessory, you can also create
your own foundation and use it for installing the POLEMH6.
The calculation, design and manufacture of the self-made concrete foundation are the sole responsibility of
the operator or the company carrying out the installation on behalf of the operator.
In addition, you will need the following tools:
Torque spanner with Allen key,
6mm Spirit level
Phillips screwdriver Slotted screwdriver
Torx screwdriver Hexagon screwdriver
Tape measure Bricklaying tools
Concrete screed (mixed) Vacuum lifting tool (optional)
Laying the EMH9996 foundation
The optional EMH9996 concrete foundation from ABL provides a level installation surface for the POLEMH6 mounting
pole and ensures the necessary stability and support via factory-inserted screw anchors.
Please note: these installation instructions only describe how to install the POLEMH6 on the EMH9996 concrete foun-
dation, which is available as an accessory.

NOTE
Alignment of the foundation
Please note the following instructions for aligning the EMH9996:
The top of the EMH9996 can be identified by the recessed threaded anchors for screwing the POLEMH6 in
place.
As the POLEMH6 can be mounted on the foundation in any direction (0°/90°/180°/270°), the empty conduits
on the side of the EMH9996 can be aligned with the supply and data cables in the ditch as required.
3 Place the foundation centrally on the cement mortar
layer.
yThis step must be performed by two people.
NOTE
Wiring of the empty conduits
The two empty conduits on the EMH9996 ensure a high degree of flexibility when laying the cabling for group
installations.
For a series connection in a group installation, you can run the power cable along with shielded data cables
through one empty conduit or distribute them between the two empty conduits.
For unshielded data cables, it is recommended to use one empty conduit exclusively for the power cable and
the other for the data cables.
| Installation – Installing the POLEMH6 on the EMH9996 foundation

4 Make sure the foundation is level in all planes on
the cement mortar layer and then create a sup-
porting structure all the way around the foundation
with concrete screed (45° smooth line to around the
lower edge of the conduit openings).
Glättkelle
5 Allow the concrete to set completely over a reason-
able period of time so that the foundation is pro-
tected from slipping when the ditch is eventually
filled and compacted with compactable soil.
6 Run a supply cable with sufficient length (approx.
0.8m) through an empty conduit of the foundation
for connection to the high-current terminals in the
small distribution board of the POLEMH6.
7 Run data cables with sufficient length (approx.
2.0m) through the same or the second empty con-
duit for the subsequent installation of the wallbox
on the mounting pole.
8 Fill the entire ditch around the foundation to ground
level with compactable soil.
yThe soil must be filled and compacted in layers
and evenly on all sides.
9 Smooth out the surface.
Installing the POLEMH6 on the EMH9996 foundation
After placing the foundation, you can install the POLEMH6 on the EMH9996.
