Notes
Cautions
Incorrect installation and testing of the LS4 MINI could
potentially damage either the vehicle and/or the LS4
MINI itself.
Poor quality electricity may harm the LS4 MINI and or
the vehicle. An example of such source of poor quality
electricity may be private power generators.
Do not operate the LS4 MINI in temperatures outside its
operating range – see technical specifications.
All installation must be carried out by an professional
electrician and comply with local installation regulations.
If any questions, please contact your local electrical
authority.
Ensure that the charging cable is positioned so it will not
be stepped on, driven over, tripped on, or subjected to
damage or stress.
Unroll the charging cable to prevent it from overheating.
Do not use cleaning solvents to clean any of the
components. The outside of the LS4 MINI, the charging
cable, and the end of the charging cable should be
periodically wiped with a clean, dry cloth to remove
accumulation of dirt and dust.
Refer to local standards and regulations not to exceed
charging current limitations.
The front door must always be locked in order to ensure
compliance with IP Code IP44.
Ventilation signal from EV is not supported.
Adapters for charging connectors are not allowed to be
used.
Cord extension sets for charging cable is not allowed to
be used.

4x M8 L20mm
INSTALLATION
(figure 1)
• Before start of installation, perform a visual inspect the
charging station during unpacking. Do not start installation
process if any damaged parts are discovered.
• Use conductors that are dimensioned in accordance with
local electrical regulations. The selected cable must be able to
sustain long periods of constant load of up to 63A.
• The installation must be carried out by an professional
electrician.
1. Select suitable group fuse and cable dimension for the
electrical installation. Make sure to consider the cable length
during calculation to avoid risk of voltage drop.
Note: Due to high currents for a long time in the cable, there is a
high risk of voltage drop if the cable is under-dimensioned which
can damage the electronics in an EV.
2. Fill in the fuse and cable information in the Installation form
located in the installation manual that is included in the box.
3. Mount the LS4 MINI on a wall or on a pedestal, figure 1-6.
Note: Wall installation requires a minimum 20mm distance
between the wall and the LS4 MINI to ensure correct cooling,
(figure 4) Recommendation is to use the included wallbracket.
4. Install the electric supply cable L1, L2, L3 and N to the Main
Switch and PE to PE terminal, (figure 3).
5. Fill in the Installation form in the manual.
6. Assemble the protection cover and close the front door,
(figure 5)
7. Turn on electrical power.
8. Wait a few minutes until the LS4 MINI have finished the startup
process and test the LS4 MINI with a EVSE-tester or an EV.
9. Complete the Installation form with all required information.
The completed form shall be handed over to the owner of the LS4
MINI.
10. With a mobile phone, scan the QR code on the ID-label
located on the side of the LS4 MINI and follow the on-screen
instructions to complete commissioning of the LS4 MINI.

Verify that 12V power supply unit is receiving 220V AC power
via terminals L & N.
Disconnect red/black cables from the power supply unit terminals
marked "+/-". If the power supply unit delivers 12DC on the
output terminals when red/black cables were disconnected,
then it has detected an earth fault in one of the DC powered
components (controllers, upper PCB, router/switch etc.) inside
the charging station. If LED-light [DC OK] remains turned off,
consider replacing the 12V power supply unit.
Check red/black cable and connection between DC terminal
and upper PCB quick connection (located on far left side of
upper PCB in the charging station).
Verify that the controller has 12 V DC power supplied (4-pole
quick connection on down-side of controller -> terminal 1 & 2
from the left) and that the LED-light [Ready] is blinking green.
If power supply is ok, but no blinking green, then consider
replacing charging controller.

Service / Maintenance
The service must be performed by a professional electrician.
A service form can be found at https://www.garo.se/en/volvo-trucks/manuals
In order for the warranty to apply, it is required that a completed service form/forms, (depending on the age of the product), can be
presented when contacting Volvo Action Service.
The most recent service form may not be older than 12 months. Service is performed by visual inspecting both outside and inside of the
LS4 MINI, conditioning of components as well as functional tests. Specific service points can be found in the service form.
If your LS4 MINI is connected to Backend Operator or other external supervised system, GARO recommends that you contact the
operator, to plan the service in advance, in order to avoid unnecessary errors and warning messages that could lead to expensive
emergency call outs from other service partners. You can normally find information inside the LS4 MINI if it is connected to a supervised
system.
