1. Important Safety Notice
This charger complies with Mode 3 (IEC61851 and CE-LVD).
When using electric chargers, basic precautions should always be followed.
This manual contains important instructions, including the following, that must be
followed during installation, operation and maintenance.
• Do not install or use the charger near flammable, explosive, corrosive, or
combustible materials, chemicals, or vapors.
• Turn off the mains power to the charger before performing any maintenance.
• The device is designed only for vehicles that are compatible with the Mode 3
charging standard.
• Do not use the charger if it is defective, appears cracked, frayed, broken or
damaged.
• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the charger.
Contact waEV-charge Customer Service or your installer for any repairs.
• Do not use the charger when you are in the vehicle, or the charger is exposed to
severe rain, snow, or other severe weather.
• When transporting the charger, handle with care and do not drag or step on the
device.
• Do not touch the charging connector terminal with sharp metallic objects to
prevent damage.
• Do not forcefully pull the charging cable, damage it with sharp objects, put
fingers, or insert foreign objects into any part of the charging connector.
• Risk of explosion: This device has arcing & sparking parts that should not be
exposed to flammable vapors.
0202

• Risk of electric shock. Do not remove cover or attempt to open the enclosure or
the device when power is on.
• To reduce the risk of serious injury or death and damage to the charger, this
device should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by a qualified electrician, familiar
with the construction and operation of this type of charger and the dangers
involved. Failure to observe these precaution could result in death or severe injury.
• Incorrect installation and testing of the charger could potentially damage either
the vehicle’s battery and/or the device itself. Any resulting damage is excluded
from the warranty for the charger.
• Ensure that the charging cable is well positioned during charging so it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use this charger with a frayed charging cable that has damaged insulation
or any other signs of damage.
• Install according to the local electrical regs, confirm the wire diameter and wire
type corresponds to the current rating and the temperature rating required.
• Before starting the installation, ensure all power is turned off at source.
The waEV-charge EV1 & EV1i charger can be safely installed without an earth-
rod and features integrated 6mA DC RCD leakage protection. Only type A RCD +
32/40A MCB or equivalent protection is normally required at source.
A DC leakage fault in the vehicle will render ineffective a type “AC” RCD.
You should never wire the waEV-charge EV1 & EV1i into an existing upstream Type
“AC” RCD.

7.3 Tools and Materials Required
Tools required before installing the Wall-Mounted EV1 & EV1i charger, gather the following
tools:
• Wire stripper
• Crimpers
• Security TORX screwdriver for M5
• Slotted screwdriver for 4~5.5MM
• Adjustable Wrench M6
• Head gasket screw 10-10.5mm
• EV Voltmeter/Digital multi-meter testing equipment
• It is recommended to use 3 core/6mm cable for Single Phase / 5 core/6mm cable for
three phase (XLPE or equivalent cable) to pull the cable from the distribution box.
• Power Drill
• Pencil or marker
Installer Notes
It is recommended the charger is installed at a height of 500mm-1500mm as per building
regulations BS8300:2018.
An isolator switch (rated 45 Amps) is a mandatory requirement for “new builds”, but optional
for existing dwellings.
The isolator switch (if fitted) should be mounted between 500mm and 1500mm above
finished floor level to comply with regulations. All installations must comply to BS7671: 2018.
The waEV-charge EV1 & EV1i charger is designed to be connected to a dedicated AC
supply only. The property must comply with minimum BS7671 standards before installation
commences and the supply must be adequately rated for the additional load required for EV
charging.
The waEV-charge EV1 & EV1i charger must be connected to a strong WiFi signal in order
to function correctly with the ev.energy app. If the WiFi signal strength is 2 bars or
lower, we strongly advise the use of a WiFi booster or alternatively the charger to be
hardwired via the external LAN socket, directly into a router/hub.

13
Step 1:
• Set the positions of the 4 screw holes and drill them, with a diameter of 8mm and
a depth of 52mm.
• Use 4 sets expansion screw and M6 screw to fix the wall-mounted bracket on the
wall.
Step 2:
Align the rear notch of charger into the wall-mounted
bracket and fit the screw holes of the right and left
side.

10. waEV-charge Commissioning Troubleshooting
INSTALLERS, PLEASE READ IF YOU ENCOUNTER CONNECTION ISSUES
1. Please ensure the WiFi name (SSID) & password are correct (both are case
sensitive so must be entered carefully). We advise connecting another device, such
as a mobile phone to the WiFi network from where the EV charger is located to
check the WiFi signal is strong, within range and the details are correct.
2. The waEV-charge EV1 & EV1i charger MUST be connected to the 2.4GHz WiFi
network only. Dual band or 5GHz networks do not provide a strong & stable
connection therefore the charger will not appear online if the 5Ghz/Dual-band WiFi
SSID & password is used. All routers can be setup to transmit a standalone 2.4Ghz
network. If the customer is unsure of how to set this up, please contact us and we
will assist.
3. Once the WiFi SSID & Password are input using the Installer app, ensure that
you see SET SUCCESS under both SSID & Password in the bottom status box. Once
confirmed, please ensure you REBOOT the device and then wait 2-3 mins before
opening the ev.energy commissioning portal.
4. If you are still having connection issues, please reboot the customers WiFi router.
5. Ensure the vehicle is not plugged in when the commissioning process is being
completed. The status LED should remain BLUE during all commissioning, except
during reboot.
6. Selecting “get device info” will display the WiFi details and OCPP URL, this
should match the customer WiFi SSID & password and URL.
7. If the customer has already signed up for the ev.energy app, please ensure you
use the same email address for the ev.energy commissioning portal. Once complete,
ask the customer to fully close the ev.energy app (or reboot phone if unsure) then
reopen and the waEV-charge EV1 & EV1i charger will appear within the app.
