SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Electrical Safety: The charging station must be installed by a licensed electrician or certified
installer in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Do not attempt to modify
or repair the charging station's electrical components unless you are qualified to do so.
Grounding: Proper grounding is essential for safe operation of the charging station. Ensure
that the charging station is grounded and that all electrical connections are secure.
User Safety: Ensure that the charging station is installed in a safe and accessible location,
away from any potential hazards or obstructions. Users should never touch the charging
station while it is in use and should avoid touching any live electrical components.
Environment: Install the charging station in a location that is protected from the elements
and other environmental factors, such as temperatures above +60°c, moisture, and corrosive
materials. It is advised to maintain a relative humidity of up to 95%, while also avoiding any
condensation buildup.
Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation around the charging station to prevent overheating
and ensure that the unit is operating within its recommended temperature range.
Authorized Users Only: Restrict access to the charging station to authorized users only.
Ensure that users are trained on the proper use and safety procedures before allowing them
to use the charging station.
Emergency Procedures: In the event of an emergency, follow the manufacturer's
recommended procedures for shutting down and isolating the charging station. Have a plan
in place for addressing any potential emergencies or hazards.
For the installation of charging stations, not equipped with an integrated FID device, it is
strongly recommended the installation of a proper external FID device in the electrical
cabinet.

The GlowBox is designed to provide fast and reliable charging for your electric vehicle. With a
maximum output power of 22kW/11kW and a maximum output current of 3x32A/16A, it can charge
most electric vehicles in just a few hours.
The charging station is equipped with a Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) plug, which is compatible with most
electric vehicles in Europe. The cable length of 5m (16.4ft) provides plenty of reach for most charging
setups, and the IP55 rating ensures that the charging station is protected from dust and water
splashes.
With its compact dimensions of 300mm x 220mm x 140mm and lightweight design of 8kg (17.6lb),
the GlowBox is easy to install and transport. The charging station also operates in a wide range of
temperatures, making it suitable for use in different climates.
These technical specifications ensure that the GlowBox is a reliable and efficient solution for your
electric vehicle charging needs.

SITE SELECTION AND PREPARATION
Location: Choose a location that is easily accessible for electric vehicles (EVs). The charging station
should be located in a dry and well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight.
Space: The charging station should be installed in a location that allows for easy access and
maneuvering of EVs.
Power Supply: Verify that the location has adequate power supply to support the charging station.
Consult with a licensed electrician to ensure that the electrical infrastructure can handle the load of
the charging station.

Mounting: Determine the best mounting option for the charging station based on the site conditions.
The charging station can be mounted to a wall or on a stand.
Voltage Drop
The maximum allowable voltage drop for an installation can vary from country to country. Typically,
the requirement is to keep the voltage drop below 4% (or sometimes below 5%). The length of the
conductors, their material, and the charging current are important factors in determining the
appropriate cross-section of cables. However, it's important to note that voltage drop can also occur
in other components and devices. Therefore, it is advisable to consider some additional reserve when
selecting the cross-section of cables to account for these factors.

Continuity Test for Earthing Conductor
To ensure proper safety measures, it is important to perform a continuity measurement on the
protective conductors, including those in the main and additional equipotential. This measurement
involves checking the connection between the PE terminal of the charging station's socket and the
