ittostrongforce,impactorpull,twist,tangle,drag,orstepontheEV
Charger to prevent it or any components from damage.
• Do not touch the EV Charger’s end terminals with sharp metallic
objects,suchaswire,tools,orneedles.
• Do not insert foreign objects into any part of the EV Charger.
•UseoftheEVChargermayaectorimpairtheoperationofany
medicalorimplantableelectronicdevices,suchasanimplantable
cardiacpacemakeroranimplantablecardiovasculardebrillator.
Checkwithyourelectronicdevicemanufacturerconcerningtheeects
that charging may have on such electronic devices before using the EV
Charger.
This document contains important instructions and warnings that
must be followed for both installation and maintenance of the EV
Charger.
1.1. Important Safety Instructions
1. Safety Information
WARNING
1

• Do not use private power generators as a power source for
charging.
• Incorrect installation and testing of the EV Charger could
potentially damage either the vehicle’s battery and/or the
EVChargeritself.Anyresultingdamageisexcludedfrom
New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the EV Charger Limited
Warranty.
• Do not operate the EV Charger in temperatures outside its
operating range of -25°C to +55°C.
1.2. Notes
• Ensure that the EV Charger’s charging cable is positioned so it
willnotbesteppedon,drivenover,trippedon,orsubjectedto
damage or stress.
• Do not use cleaning solvents to clean any of the EV Charger’s
components.TheoutsideoftheEVCharger,thecharging cable
andtheconnectorendofthechargingcableshould be
periodically wiped with a clean dry cloth to remove
accumulation of dirt and dust.
• Be careful not to damage the circuit board when removing the
power entry knock-out.

atmosphere corrosion test and salt spray test.
•Certificate:CE & UKCA.
2.3. Dynamic Load Balancing
Dynamic Load Balancing is integrated within BPE EV Chargers which
regulates its power output to harmonise with other household
loads to avoid current overloads. This is achieved by reducing the
current draw of the EV Charger so the system operates smoothly
below the house limit. This optimises home power usage without
tripping the breaker.

Installation of the EV Charger requires that you:
•Calculatetheexistingelectricalloadtodeterminethe
maximumoperatingcurrent.
• Calculate the distance to ensure minimal voltage drop.
• Obtain any necessary permits from the local authority that has
jurisdictionandconrmthatthefollow-upinspectionhasbeen
scheduled by an electrician after the installation is complete.
• Use only copper conductors.
• Use conductors that are sized in accordance with local wiring
regulations. The selected cable must be able to sustain periods
of constant load of up to 40A.
• Use protective devices. The circuit protection device chosen
must incorporate a suitable residual-current device (RCD)
and over-current protection in relation to the electrical load
selected.
Choose the Best Location for the EV Charger:
• Determine the parking location of the vehicle to ensure that
the charge cable reaches the charge port.
• Determine the parking location of the vehicle to ensure
that the current charge cable reaches the charge port in an
enclosedgarage,typicallyonthevehicle’schargeportside.
•Inawell-ventilatedarea.Avoidinstallationinanenclosedbox,
or adjacent to hot appliances.
• 1.2m above the ground.
•190mmfromanyobstacletoallowcablecollected.
Note:
The EV Charger is approved for outdoor use. Protection from rain
is recommended but not required.

3.2. Electrical Wiring
3.2.1. 230V Single-Phase
TheL, N and PEshouldbewiredaccordingtolocalrequirements.
Thephaseusedmustmeasure230V(±10%).
• WARNING: Each ground must be connected to neutral
atonlyonepoint,ortheEVchargercannotoperate.
• WARNING:BeforeinstallingtheEVcharger,identifythe
type of utility service connection available on site. If you
are unsure about the type of connection available at
theservicepanel,consultanelectricianforassistance.
3.3. Installation Considerations
Three congurations are available to install the EV Charger:
The location of the conduit determines which installation method to
follow.Iftheconduitrunsalongtheoororlowtothewall,usethe
bottomentryconguration.Iftheconduitcomesfrominsidethe
wall,usetherearentryconguration.Iftheavailableconduitcomes
fromtheceiling,usethetopentryinstallation.
Note: Throughoutthemanual,“conduit”isusedasthestandard
term for the protective tubing that houses the service wiring. In
regionswhereconduitisnotused(Europeforexample),acable
comprised of service wiring enclosed in a protective jacket may be
substituted for conduit if allowed by local regulations.
Here are some additional guidelines:
• Conduit openings are sized for 32mm conduit.
• Conduitneedstobemetalandameretardant.
• Use an appropriate circuit breaker.
• Tokeepthehousingwaterproof,usecableglands.
