1. SELECT THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
1.1 GENERAL CRITERIA FOR SELECTING
AN INSTALLATION SITE
The Andersen A1 has been
designed for indoor and outdoor
domestic use. If possible, install the
Andersen A1 so that it is protected
from direct rainfall and sunlight
to avoid the effects of weather,
such as icing, overheating, and
damage by hailstones or the like.
Ensure that you comply with the
permitted operating ambient
conditions. Ensure compliance
with local installation standards
and regulations. Ensure that the
proposed mounting surface is secure
and substantially vertical and flat,
take account of the weight of the
Andersen A1 at 15 Kg
1.2 RECOMMENDED CLEARANCES
AROUND THE INSTALLED
ANDERSEN A1
See fig F3.1 for recommended
clearances around the installed
Andersen A1. Ease of winding
the charge cable into the A1
magic slots may be reduced if
the recommended clearances are
reduced. If two Andersen A1 units
are placed next to each other then
they can share the horizontal gap
between them. The working space
around the Andersen A1 can be the
mounting surface or open space.
The Andersen A1 can be placed
close to pipes, trunking and the like
providing they do not prevent easy
access and winding of the charge
cable in to the magic slots.

4. FIT THE DECORATIVE FRONT PANEL TO
THE CONTROL UNIT
4.1 Lay decorative front panel 1-0 on a soft
horizontal surface such as cardboard
with the front side down and the control
unit 3-0 on its side as shown in fig F6.1
4.2 Ensure vehicle charging cable 3-9 is
flat and has no overlaps as shown in
fig F6.1 The charging cable is held
in place by the retaining film 3-8. If
the charging cable is not correctly
positioned, then, either correct its
position OR remove the entire length
of cable and exit the cable from the
bottom of the control unit. To unwind
the cable, it is necessary to remove
the protective film from the top of the
control unit to enable the top chamber
door 3-4 to be opened and allow
removal of the vehicle charge socket
3-5. Close the top chamber door after
removing the vehicle charge socket.
4.3 Connect the led socket 3-7 to the led
plug 1-3 see fig F6.1.1 and F6.1.2,
ensure the correct rotation of the
connector and that the two parts are
latched together.
4.4 Locate the led cable 3-10 on the rear
side of the control unit, this is the side
where the screws 4-1 are shown on fig
F6.1. Gently pull the led cable at the
same time as lowering the control unit
on to the front panel. Locate the 4 x
front panel fixing screws through the
control unit and in to the decorative
front panel, hand tighten. Check that
the led cable is not trapped between
the front panel and the control unit,
the led cable must not be visible in any
of the 4 cable magic slots. Tighten the
front panel fixing screws.
4.5 Put the assembly to the side and in a
safe place ready for wall mounting.
