Page 12
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: MAIN PEDESTAL
MAIN PEDESTALSETUP– BOTH HCS & TESLA® INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE
THESE STEPS
1. CONCRETE PAD REQUIREMENTS
The location, dimensions, and composition of the concrete pad underlying the pedestal should always adhere to local building codes. The following
dimensions are minimum recommended values. Always verify that installation plans adhere to local code requirements prior to proceeding.
• The pad area must be a minimum of 18” to a side.
• The concrete must be poured a minimum depth of 18”.
• If there is no bumper block, the center of the pedestal base should be situated 36” behind the curb.
• If a bumper block is in place, the center of the pedestal base should be situated 12” behind the curb.
2. ANCHOR BOLT PLACEMENT
A minimum of four (4) anchor bolts must be embedded in the concrete pad for the purposes of securing the pedestal post. The pedestal base is de-
signed to permit the anchor bolts to be arranged in many
congurations, including the following:
Use the Pedestal Base Pattern Template: To better facilitate the installation of the anchor bolts, a
cardboard template in the shape of the pedestal base is included in the pedestal kit. This template is
provided as a knock-out piece on the back of the cardboard box in which the cover plate is packaged.
The template is specic for two bolt patterns: the standard 10” x 10” pattern and an alternate 5.25” x
11.1” rectangular pattern.

Page 13
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: MAIN PEDESTAL
For the Standard 10” Square
Pattern: Arrange four (4) 1/2”
or 3/8” anchor bolts in a 10”
square pattern. This placement
corresponds to the corner
cutouts in the pedestal base.
For theAlternate 5.25” x 11.1”
Rectangular Pattern: Arrange
four (4) 3/8” anchor bolts in a
5.25” by 11.1” rectangular
pattern. This placement
corresponds to the short inner
cutouts in the pedestal base.
For theAlternate 10” x 4.75”
Rectangular Pattern:
Arrange four (4) 1/2” anchor
bolts in a 10” by 4.75”
rectangular pattern. This
placement corresponds to fall
within the long inner cutouts in
the pedestal base.
Maximum Anchor Bolt
Height: The anchor bolts should
not protrude more than 3” above
the surface of the concrete pad.
3. MOUNTING THE PEDESTALPOST
Once the concrete pad with anchor bolts has been prepared and the three service conductors have been pulled through the underground conduit, the
pedestal post may be placed.
• Feed the three service conductors up through the inside of the pedestal post. The conductors must be of sufcient length to pass
beyond the top of the pedestal so that nal connections can be worked with comfortably at a later step.
• Align the pedestal post base notches with the four anchor bolts and ease it into place.
NUTS AND WASHERS MAY BE USED UNDER THE PEDESTAL BASE TO ADJUST THE VERTICAL ALIGNMENT OF
THE PEDESTAL SHOULD THE CONCRETE PAD NOT BE LEVEL.
• Secure the pedestal post base to the concrete anchor bolts using appropriately sized nuts and washers.
• The anchor bolts, nuts and washers used for the installation of the pedestal base are not included in the pedestal kit and must be
purchased separately.
NOTE: DO NOT remove the tape at the bottom of the pedestal. This tape is provided for nish and weather protection of the pedestal post.

Page 14
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: MAIN PEDESTAL
4. INSTALLTHE PEDESTAL BASE COVER
A two-piece pedestal base cover set is included in the pedestal kit. The purpose of the pedestal base cover is to beautify the installation and to protect
against injury from protruding anchor bolts.
• The two covers are of an identical overlapping design.
• Slide one cover on the front side of the pedestal base until the center notch surrounds half of the pedestal post. Slide the other cover
onto the rear side in the same manner. Ensure that the anges of each cover piece are tucked inside of the opposite cover.
• Align the four screw holes of each cover piece with the corresponding screw holes on the opposite cover.
• Secure each cover piece to the other with four (4) #6-32 x 3/8” at-head tapered screws using a #2 Philips-head screwdriver.
5. REMOVE THE PEDESTAL POST CAP
A pedestal cap is provided to cover the opening to protect the conductors and inner pedestal from the elements. It may have already been assembled
on the post for protection during shipping. Temporarily remove this cap for additional access to electrical connections.
YOU HAVE NOW COMPLETED INSTALLATION OFTHE MAIN PEDESTAL. PLEASE REFER
TO TESLA® WALL CONNECTORAND/OR CLIPPERCREEK HCS INSTALLATION STEPS
ACCORDING TO THE CONFIGURATIONS DESIRED.

Page 15
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR
TESLA® WALLCONNECTOR INSTALLATION
REQUIRES THESE STEPS
THESE STEPS ARE TO BE COMPLETED AFTER THE MAIN PEDESTAL
INSTALLATION FOR THE TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR CONFIGURATIONS
ONLY. REPEAT EACH STEP FOR DUAL-MOUNTED CONFIGURATIONS ON THE
OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PEDESTAL:
1. INSTALLTHE TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR MOUNTING PLATE
A mounting plate is afxed to the front of the pedestal post to provide a at and rigid base on
which the wall connector can be mounted. In the case of a Dual-Mount installation, a second
mounting plate is afxed to the opposite side of the pedestal post.
• Hold the wall connector mounting plate against the front side of the pedestal
post as shown.
• Align the two screw holes of the mounting plate with the two corresponding
threaded inserts on the front of the pedestal post.
• To properly position the Mounting Plate use a T27 Torx driver and two (2)
1/4-20 x 3/4” Torx at-head tapered screws. Begin with the top position rst
and tighten each of the 1/4-20 x 3/4” Torx at-head tapered screws about
halfway in.
• Firmly tighten both screws until the head of the screw is ush with the
surface of the mounting plate.
• For Dual-Mount installations, repeat on the opposite side.
2. MOUNT THE TESLA® MOUNTING BRACKET TO THE MOUNTING
PLATE
With the main mounting plate in place, the pedestal is now ready for the TESLA®
Mounting Bracket.
• Align the TESLA® Mounting Bracket (which is included with the TESLA®
Wall Connector) with the two studs on the Mounting Plate.
• Place one 11/16” OD stainless steel washer over each stud.
• Secure the washers and Mounting Bracket to the Mounting Plate by
rmly tightening one 5/16-18” Hex Nut onto each stud.
• For an installation with two TESLA® EVSE’s afxed to the same post,
repeat the previous steps for the opposite side.

Page 16
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR

CAUTION: When
using the hole saw,
be careful not to
damage internal
components.
Reconnect the
Ground wire to the
terminal block.
3. PREPARE THE TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR FOR PEDESTAL MOUNTING
With the TESLA® Mounting Bracket in place, the pedestal is now ready for a TESLA® Wall Connector to be mounted. For Dual-Mount
Installations, repeat the steps below for the opposite side.

Page 17
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR
4. MOUNT THE TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR TO THE PEDESTAL
• The TESLA® Wall Connector has provisions for 1” (25 mm) conduit.
• Align the TESLA® Wall Connector over the Mounting Bracket.
• Attach the grounding wire.
• Fasten the TESLA® Wall Connector onto the Mounting Bracket using the ange screws (supplied with the TESLA® Wall
Connector) and a ratchet wrench with 8mm socket to tighten rmly into position. Use caution to prevent pinching wires.
• For Dual-Mount Installations, repeat on the opposite side.

Page 18
PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR
5. CONNECT THE WIRING
NOTE: For most branch circuits of 100A, use 3 AWG (26.7 mm2), 75°C (167°F)
copper wire. For installations less than 100A, use conductors that are sized according
to local electrical codes.
WARNING: Do not connect service wiring until you have read and fully understand
the pages in the document titled “Service Wiring.” If you are uncertain about the type of
power available at the service panel, consult your local utility, or contact TESLA® for
assistance.
• Turn off the Power.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before connecting the wiring, use a
volt meter to conrm that NO POWER is available at the service wiring or terminals.
• Pull the service wiring into the TESLA® Wall Connector.
• Strip wires 3/8” (10 mm)
• Connect wiring to the terminal block. Connect L1 to Black, L2/N to Red, and Ground to
one of the two available Ground connectors, as shown.
NOTE: Maximum size of Ground wire is 4 AWG.
• Tighten L1 and L2 screws to 35-50 lb-in, depending on the wire gauge. Tighten Ground
screw according to the table:
• For Dual-Mount Installations, be aware that the TESLA® Wall Connector EVSE’s may
have different ratings. Extra precaustion should be taken to ensure the correct wiring
connections per EVSE.

PEDESTAL INSTALLATION GUIDE: TESLA® WALL CONNECTOR
7. SET OPERATING CURRENT
• Turn off the power.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Before continuing, use a volt meter to conrm that NO POWER is available at the
service wiring or terminals.
• Open the front cover and hold it with one hand while completing the next step.
CAUTION: Do not release the front cover or allow it to hang from the ribbon cable. Doing so can damage the ribbon cable’s
connectors.
• Adjust the dip switches to set the operating current based on the type of breaker being used. Use a pointed non-conductive object
such as a plastic pen.
NOTE: Power MUST be turned off before setting or changing DIP switches. If you set DIP switches with the power on, not only is
it dangerous, because of the risk of electric shock (see warning above), but the changes are not recognized.
• Extra precaution should be used for Dual-Mount Installations. EVSE’s may look the same on the surface but have different ratings.
Set operating currents accordingly.
