Important Safety Instructions
This User Guide contains instructions and warnings that must be followed when installing and
using the Alpha Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Before installing or using the EVSE,
read this document including any WARNING and CAUTION markers.
This document provides instructions for the charging station and should not be used for any
other product. Consult with a licensed contractor, licensed electrician, or trained installation
expert to ensure compliance with local building codes and safety standards.
• Read all the instructions before using this product.
• Before installation or use of this product consult with a licensed electrician to ensure
compliance with local building codes and safety standards.
• Children should not use this device.
• Do not put ngers into the EV connector.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Do not use this product if the exible power cord, EV cable, or enclosure is ragged, broken,
cracked, open, or shows any other indication of damage.
• Disconnect the power supply before installing, adjusting, or repairing the charging station.
General Product Care and Use Information
• The Alpha EVSE does not require regular maintenance. Inspect the unit periodically to ensure
that all parts remain in good working order and no damage exists.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify any components inside the
device. Contact United Chargers for any repairs.
The exterior of the charging station is water-resistant (NEMA 3R Indoor/Outdoor Rated).
To ensure proper maintenance of the charging station, follow these guidelines:
• Periodic cleaning may be required, depending on local conditions. Only use an automotive
grade soft cleaning cloth damp with soap and water to remove accumulated dirt and dust. Do
not use cleaning solvents.
• Ensure the charging connector is put back in the holster and the power cable is stored on the
charging station after use to avoid damage.
• When moving or lifting the unit, always grasp and carry by the charging station body. Never
attempt to lift, move, or carry the unit by any of the electrical cables.

INSTALLATION
Service Wiring Requirements
Prior to mounting, consult a certied electrician about an electrical source that can support the
following:
The Circuit must be a DEDICATED CIRCUIT 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, Single Phase.
Requirements govern that only 80% of the circuit rated load may be utilized. Use the following
Maximum Amperage Settings depending on the circuit breaker rating:
Circuit Rating Maximum Charging Station Output
50A 40A
40A 32A
30A 24A
20A 16A
• A Double Pole Circuit Breaker of the circuit rating must be used.
• The Charging Stations can connect a Standard NEMA 6-50 or 14-50 Receptacle, or the unit can
be hardwired.
• A cable with a dedicated grounding conductor connected to the equipment ground terminal
block must be used.
CAUTION: The service wiring in this section are specic to North America only. Before installing
the Charging Station, identify the type of utility service connection onsite. If unsure about the
type of connection available at the service panel, contact your utility service provider.
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the charging station before installing, adjusting, or
repairing the charging. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power
supply system and the charging station.

Install Charging Station
Prior to mounting, determine the location of an acceptable mounting support:
• The charging station must be anchored into a mounting support such as a 2” x 4” stud or a
solid concrete wall. DO NOT mount this unit directly to a stucco/drywall/wall board.
• Mount the unit between 24 inches (0.6 m) and 48 inches (1.2 m) from the ground. The NEMA
outlet should be located more than 18” above the ground or as dened by applicable, local
electrical safety codes and standards.
Mounting Screw Recommendations:
• For nished walls supported by wood studs, use #14 or M6 tapping screws. (Included).
• For masonry walls, use M6 mechanical screws. (Commercially available)

1. Separate the front and back pieces of the mounting bracket by pushing down on the notch.
2. Secure the back piece of the mounting bracket to the wall or other suitable structure using the
Robertson-head screws.
3. Attach the front piece of the mounting bracket to the back of the charging station using the
Socket-cap screws and washers. Ensure the top of the mounting bracket is matched with the top
of the charging station.

4. Mount the charger on the wall by securing the front piece of the mounting bracket to the back
piece. Align the notches and press down to secure the charger.
5. Position the Side Cover over the mounting bracket. Use the Side Cover screws to secure the
two pieces together.
6. Plug in the power cord to the NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 Wall Outlet/Receptacle.

Adjust Maximum Output Current DIP Switches
Note: Only change the Maximum Current DIP Switch settings if your local electrical code
requires a physical switch for compliance. If the building code does not require a physical switch
use see “Set Amperage” on page 19.
To set the Maximum Output Current through the DIP Switches:
1. Ensure the unit is unplugged. Ensure Charging Station is facing up on a at surface.
Remove the plastic protective cover.
2. Use a Phillips Head screwdriver to remove the 6 screws on the front of Alpha. Carefully place
the front cover to the side without damaging the communication cable.
3. Locate the DIP Switches on the PCB. The DIP Switch is a 3-position switch on the secondary
circuit board, located behind the USB cable.
