2 Installation
2.1 Before Installation
2.1.1 Safety check
• Check for transport damages.
• Before connecting the product to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage
and current rating corresponds with the power supply details shown on the product
rating label.
The charge point must be installed only by a licensed electrician in accordance with the provisions
of the local electrical industry construction and should comply with national electrical codes and
standards.
Before installing the charge point, make sure you have read all of these instructions in this manual
and fully understand its contents.
Appropriate protection is required when connecting to a main switchboard. The tools and
parts used as outlined in the section “Tools & parts required for installation”.
2.1.2 Grounding Instructions
The charge point must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent wiring
system or an equipment grounding conductor. Use a wire with a dedicated grounding wire and a
ring terminal and connected to the equipment ground terminal block for grounding.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply before installing or repairing the charge
point. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply
system and the charge point.
CAUTION: Avoid touching or pressing the OLED screen all times, as this may result in
damage to the OLED screen.
DANGER: RISK OF SUFFOCATION
Keep any packing materials away from children – these materials are a potential
source of danger, e.g. suffocation.
