2. Installation Planning and Service Wiring:
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the charging station
before installing, adjusting, or repairing the charging. Failure to do so
may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system
and the charging station.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided
with the minimum branch circuit overcurrent protection requirements
in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7- and the
Canadian Electrical Safety Code, Part 1, C22.1. If unsure if the circuit
meets these requirements consult a licensed electrician.
2.1 Electrical Source Requirements
• Prior to mounting, locate an available electrical source that can support the following
Input Requirements for the Charging Station Per local Electrical Safety Code requirements:
»40A Maximum Output Setting (Default Factory Setting): a DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated
for 50A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
»32A Maximum Output Setting (Default Factory Setting): a DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated
for 40A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
»24A Maximum Output Setting (Default Factory Setting): a DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated
for 30A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
»16A Maximum Output Setting (Default Factory Setting): a DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated
for 20A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz, A Double Pole Circuit
Breaker of the circuit rating must be used.
»The Charging Unit has a built in GFCI protection. Additional GFCI protection upstream
of the charging unit is not necessary. In locations where GFCI at the outlet is mandated
by code, the charger will not experience negative effects.
• The Charging Stations can connect a Standard NEMA 14-50, NEMA 6-50 Receptacle, or the
unit can be hardwired.
• It is recommended to use Grizzl-E Chargers with a Circuit Breaker. It is not recommended
to use a Fuse Box as this can lead to unexpected blown fuses.
2.2 Grounding Instructions
The charging station must be grounded through a permanent wiring system or an equipment
grounding conductor. Use a cable with a dedicated grounding conductor connected to the
equipment ground terminal block.

10
3. Adjustable Maximum Current Output
The GRIZZL-E Smart charging station features the ability to adjust the maximum Charging
Station current output to support 50A, 40A, 30A, or 20A Dedicated Circuit ratings as follows:
Circuit Rating Maximum Charging Station Output
50A 40A (9.6 kW)
40A 32A (7.68 kW)
30A 24A (5.76 kW)
20A 16A (3.84 kW)
• The Charging Station Default Factory Maximum Current Output Setting is 40A (9.6 kW) for
use with a 50A Circuit Rating.
• The Circuit must be a DEDICATED CIRCUIT 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
• Requirements govern that only 80% of the circuit rated load may be utilized, hence the
higher Circuit Ratings Requirement relative to maximum Charging Station output.
3.1 Adjust Maximum Current Output
To adjust the Maximum Current Output Setting:
1. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station.
Use a M4 Allen Key to remove the screws.

11
CAUTION: The LED pipe is attached to the front cover. When the
front cover is removed, place it on a flat surface facing down to avoid
damage to the LED pipe.
2. With the front cover placed to the side, locate the DIP switch on the charging station circuit
board. The DIP switch is a 4-position switch on the main circuit board, located near the LED.
UP UP UP DOWN
WARNING: Do not touch live electrical parts. Disconnect the power
supply to the charging station and verify no power is present before
adjusting the DIP Switches. Failure to do so may result in physical
injury or damage to the power supply system and the charging station.

12
3. Adjust the Maximum Current Output to either 40A, 32A, 24A or 16A, using the following
combination of DIP switch settings:
Maximum Current Output Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Switch 4 DIP Switch Setting
40A Maximum Current Output
(Factory Default Setting) UP UP UP DOWN
32A Maximum Current Output UP DOWN UP DOWN
24A Maximum Current Output UP UP DOWN DOWN
16A Maximum Current Output UP DOWN DOWN DOWN
4. Once the DIP Switch Setting is adjusted, reassemble the charging station. Reinstall the top
cover to the charging station using the following torque force to secure the 4 socket cap
screws:
Screw Torque
5/32” 13.88 lbf-in (1.56Nm)

4. Installation
Prior to mounting, determine the location of an acceptable mounting support. All charging
station products must be anchored into a mounting support such as a 2” x 4” stud or a solid
concrete wall. DO NOT mount this unit directly to a stucco/drywall/wall board.

3. Secure the back piece of the mounting bracket to the wall or other suitable structure using
the Back Plate screws.
The back piece of the mounting bracket has 3 holes to support attachment to various
surfaces. Use the top two holes to attach the mounting bracket to a wall stud.
Mounting Screw Recommendations:
• For finished walls supported by wood studs, use #14 or M6 tapping screws. (Included).
• For masonry walls, use M6 mechanical screws. (Commercially available)
• Use following torque force:
Screw Torque
M6 43.4 lbf-in 44.85Nm
1/4” 43.4 lbf-in
Mount the unit at least 18in (460mm) above floor level. The charging station should be less
than 24in (610mm) from the NEMA outlet. The NEMA outlet should be located in compliance
with all applicable local electrical safety codes and standards.

5. Wiring Connection
1. Choose the appropriate conduit in accordance with all applicable, local, and electrical
safety codes and standards.
2. Using the appropriate tool, clamp the ring wire terminal to the copper wire. For non-
insulated terminals, use heat shrink tube to cover the non-insulated portion of the
terminal. Choose a terminal ring with the following characteristics:
»Recommended Wire Strip length: 8mm (0.32in)
»Width of the terminal block opening: 10.2mm (0.41in)
3. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station.
For more information on how to remove the front cover refer to Chapter 3.1 Adjust
Maximum Current Output on page 10.
4. With the front cover placed to the side, use Philips screwdriver to release terminal screws
of the input cable. Loosen the Strain Relief Fitting for the 6-50 or 14-50 Plug and Remove
the Plug. Remove the Strain Relief connector.
5. Insert the wire end passing through the conduit and insert them into the input wiring hole.
(Use Red wire for L1, Black wire for L2, Green wire for G). Attach the copper wire on the
corresponding terminal block. Use the following wire and torque force when connecting to
input terminal block.

5.2 Replace Output Cable
1. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station.
2. Loosen the gland beneath the charger.
3. Loosen strain relief clamp on inside of charger. Use a screwdriver or other tool to break
metal clamp.
4. Use Philips screwdriver to release terminal screws of the output cable.
5. Pull the terminal wires out of the enclosure. Remove cable completely from charger.
6. Insert Output Cable through Output Cable Gland. Route the 4 terminal wires through the
Cable Gland and into the enclosure. Feed the cable through the enclosure such that ½” of
the black rubber jacket is exposed.
7. Place metal strain relief clamp through terminal wires and over exposed rubber jacket.
8. Tighten strain relief clamp by squeezing on the notch with vise grip or other tool. Tighten
until cable is secure.
9. Insert the terminal wires into the corresponding input wiring hole. Terminal wires and
terminals will be labeled. Use Philips screwdriver to tighten each terminal wire to the
terminal block. Torque terminal screws to 16 LBF.IN.
