SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The DS-200 Charge Station is designed with the safety concerns of the consumer as an utmost priority; however, the
following safety precautions must be read and followed:
•The EVSE (Electric Vehicle Service Equipment) should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local
electrical codes and ordinances.
•Grounding Instructions - The charge station should be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or
an equipment-grounding conductor should be run with circuit conductors and connected to the grounding terminal on
the charger. Connections to the charge station should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
•Call your local service provider anytime a procedural question arises; DO NOT attempt to perform a procedure you
are unsure of.
•Read all installation instructions carefully before performing the installation
WARNING THIS MEANS DANGER. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on
any electrical equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and standard
practices for preventing accidents.

INSTALLING THE PEDESTAL BASE
1. Run the power conductors up through the pedestal
and out the access hole.
2. Mount and secure the pedestal with four washers
and nuts.
Note Power conductors must reach at least 48 inches
above ground-level to reach the DS-200.
3. Install the pedestal base cover using (4) #8-32 flat
head Phillips head screws.
PEDESTAL MOUNTING
Single DS-200 Pedestal Mounting
1. Run the power leads out through the flexible conduit on the side of the
pedestal.
2. Attach the mounting plate to the pedestal using (2) ¼-20 flat head screws with
washers.
3. Attach the back cover plate to the pedestal using (2) ¼-20 button head screws
with washers.
4. Install the pedestal cap using (2) ¼-20 button head screws with washers.
5. Mount the DS-200 to the mounting plate and back cover using (4) 1/4-20
button head screws with washers.
6. Remove (2) #8-32 button head screws with washers from the front door of the
DS-200 enclosure and open the door.
7. Remove the applicable knock-out in the back of the charge station, push the
power leads through the hole, then connect the flexible power conduit to the
hole.
Double DS-200 Pedestal Mounting
1. Run the power leads out through the (2) flexible conduits on both sides of
the pedestal.
2. Attach (2) mounting plates to the pedestal using (2) ¼-20 flat head screws
for each mounting plate.
3. Install the pedestal cap using (2) ¼-20 button head screws with washers.
4. Temporarily mount both the side covers to one of the mounting plates. Use
(1) ¼-20 button head screw to hold each side plate in place.
5. Mount the first DS-200 to the other mounting plate using (4) ¼-20 button
head screws with washers.
6. Remove the (2) temporary screws used to hold the side covers in place then
mount the second DS-200 using (4) ¼-20 button head screws with washers.
7. Remove (2) #8-32 button head screws with washers from the front doors of
the (2) DS-200 enclosures and open their doors.
8. Remove the applicable knock-out in the back of each charge station, push
the power leads through the holes, then connect the flexible power conduits
to each hole.
WALL MOUNTING
1. Locate the wall mounting position of the EVSE:
•Position the bottom of the charge station 38 inches above the ground.
•The mounting holes are spaced 16” apart to accommodate wall studs.
•If you do not have solid structural framing on those centers, you must provide an
adequate alternative mounting surface for the EVSE.
2. Attach the charge station to the wall studs using (4) ¼ x 2 ½” lag screws.
3. Use a multi-set or equivalent if mounting on a concrete wall.
4. Remove the applicable knock-out in the charge station, push the power leads through the
