INSTALL PLANNING AND SERVICE WIRING
•Prior to mounting, determine location of an acceptable mounting support. The Wall or Ceiling mount
unit must be anchored into a mounting support such as a 2” x 4” stud or a solid concrete wall, using
mounting hardware that is appropriate for the surface on which you are mounting. DO NOT mount this
unit directly to a stucco/drywall/wall board. If installing on a wood stud use the lag screws provided and
ensure the mounting plate is positioned on the centerline of the stud. If mounting onto a concrete,
block, or brick wall, use an appropriate anchor for the type of wall on which you are installing the unit.
•Prior to mounting, locate an available electrical source that can support the following Input
Requirements for the EVoReel Charging Station:
•Per National Electric Code (NEC) requirements, to support 30A continuous output current, a
DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 40A; 208-240 VAC, 60 Hz, must be used. It is recommended to
utilize a 40A upstream circuit breaker, located either in a panel board or load center.
•The Charging Unit has a built in GFCI protection; do not provide any additional GFCI protection
upstream of the charging unit.
•The EVoReel Charging Stations provide the option to connect to either a NEMA 6-50 Receptacle
the units can be hardwired.
•30A EVoReel iEVSE product only: To allow for network connection –install a standard CAT5/6 network
cable to the unit. The CAT5/6 network cable connects to the Ethernet port at the bottom of the EVSE.
Important: The service wiring in this section are specific to North America only.
Warning: Before installing the EVoReel Charging Station, identify the type of utility service connection available onsite.
If you have unsure about the type of connection available at the service panel, contact your utility service provider.

STEP 3 –Install Retractable Reel
Mounting Option “A”
Mounting Option “B”
1. Determine preferred
height and orientation
of retractable reel. It is
recommended to install
retractable reel at the
maximum height based

INSTALLATION
STEP 4 –Install Retractable Reel
Wall Stud
1. Locate a wall stud and use a 1/4”
bit to drill a pilot hole for each
mounting hole. The (3) mounting
holes are positioned 1.625” away
from each other.
2. Prepare mounting hole by
Fastening lag screw into top of
each mounting hole until lag screw
enters partially into wall stud.
3. Remove all lag screws from
mounting holes.
WARNING: All lag screws MUST be used
to install the charging unit to the
vertical wall stud. Each lag screw MUST
be securely fastened to THE CENTER of
the wall studs. Please contact and use
a professional installer if necessary, or
consult a licensed contractor for the
best anchoring options.

1. Adjust retractable reel ball stop
position by using a screwdriver to
loosen both fasteners.
2. Adjust the ball stop to a position
that enables a convenient vehicle
connector rest position.
3. Fasten and secure the ball stop to

STEP 6 –Adjust Vehicle Connector Position

INSTALLATION
1. Depending on the cable stop
placement from installation step
6, the retraction rate of the reel
may need adjustment. This can
be accomplished by manually
adjusting the number of charge
cable wraps around the reel. Add
additional charge cable wraps to
the reel to increase the retraction
rate. Remove charge cable wraps
from the reel to reduce the
retraction rate.
