Installing the MaxiCharger
Step 1
Place the MaxiCharger face down on a table Hold
the main unit (A) and pull up on the strap to release
the wirebox (B)
Step 2 (Back Entry Only)
1. Use the power drill with a 30 mm step bit to drill
two holes at the designated locations
2. Use a pair of scissors to cut two sealing plugs
(A) to fit the AC input cable and Ethernet cable
Make the holes smaller than the cables to
ensure a good fit
NOTE
See Step 4 on Page 15 for reference to cut the
sealing plugs
3. Route the cables into the wirebox from the
back
4. Push the sealing plugs (A) to cling to the entries

spare entry

14
Step 3
1. Place the wirebox against the wall with
an appropriate height and level it using
the built-in spirit level (A)
Recommended height: 850–1150 mm
For ADA Accessibility: 700–800 mm
2. Make three marks at the designated
location Remove the wirebox
temporarily
3. Drill three holes at the marked
locations, measuring 8 mm in
diameter and 50 mm in depth
4. Tap the three wall anchors (A) into the
drilled holes
5. Attach the wirebox to the wall using
the three Φ5 x 40 self-tapping screws
(B) Use the power drill with a Phillips
bit (PH2) to tighten the screws

15
Step 4
Use a pair of scissors to cut two sealing plugs
referring to the diagrams to fit the AC input cable and
Ethernet cable Make the holes smaller than the
cables to ensure a good fit
Option 1 (AC Input Cable — Top; Ethernet Cable — Bottom)
1. Route the AC input cable into the
wirebox from the top
2. Route the Ethernet cable into the
wirebox from the bottom
3. Push the sealing plugs (A) to cling to
the entries
4. Install a strain relief (B) by inserting
the two Φ3 x 10 mm self-tapping
screws (C) Use the torque driver
with a Phillips bit (PH2) to tighten the
screws The torque is 0 7 Nm
5. Use one blind sealing plug (D) to seal
the spare entry
Single-phase Three-phase
Suggested wire size: Φ15–19 mm Suggested wire size: Φ19–24 mm

16
Option 2 (AC Input Cable — Bottom; Ethernet Cable — Bottom)
1. Route the AC input cable and the
Ethernet cable into the wirebox
from the bottom
2. Push the sealing plugs (A) to cling to
the entries
3. Install a strain relief (B) by inserting
the two Φ3 x 10 mm self-tapping
screws (C) Use the torque driver
with a Phillips bit (PH2) to tighten
the screws The torque is 0 7 Nm
4. Use one blind sealing plug (D) to seal
the spare entry
Single-phase Three-phase
Suggested wire size: Φ15–19 mm Suggested wire size: Φ19–24 mm
Parallel Connection Application
If you have more than one charger, the AC input cables should be routed into the wirebox from the bottom
entries Each terminal port can be used as a connection point to the adjacent charger on the same circuit,
thus realizing parallel connection

17
4.2.1 AC Input Wiring
The MaxiCharger supports single-phase and three-phase wiring Please connect the wires depending on your
order
Connect the Wires
1. Strip the wires by 13 mm
