Always check any measuring instruments you will be using to disconnect the installation from its power
supply before you use them, checking them several times to make sure they are working properly.
5. MANDATORY CHECKS BEFORE INITIAL USE
The following checks are mandatory before the charging station goes live. NEVER use the charging
station if one or more of the checks indicate that the power supply or stability of the charging station
does not suffice. Check the insulation resistance of the various conductors in accordance with NEN1010
provision 61.3.3.
Always perform the checks below before voltage is applied to the DUO charging station.
√All of the activities listed below must be performed in accordance with NEN 3140.
√Check whether the wires have been connected to the terminals in the right order.
√Check whether the conductors on the terminals have been screwed on properly (4 to 5 NM).
√Check whether the grounding connector has been connected to the coded terminal and whether it has been connected
to the grounding electrode or the supplied grounding device. The entire grounding system must comply with the
NEN1010/EU/35.
√Check whether the charging station is stable.
√Check whether the seals on the charging station’s caps have been installed properly during installation (IP54).
√Check whether any actions still need to be performed, so that they may be performed safely.
√Make sure there are no obstacles surrounding the worksite.
√Before any voltage is applied to the charging station, make sure to contact Ecotap® B.V. by calling 0031 (0) 411-210210
so that we can activate that particular station’s software; we will need the station’s unique code to do so.
6. USER / INSTALLATION MANUAL
6.1 Mounting the casing on the foundation
• The foundation must be installed in a hole of 50x50 cm in size and 80 cm deep.
• The bottom of the hole must be stable and flattened out properly. Place the foundation in the hole and check whether it
level using a spirit level. You can correct any small deviations while you are closing the hole.
• Place the charging station on the foundation without its 2 bent steel cap sections and mount it using the bolts and nuts
supplied (the nuts go on the top).
• Leave the transparent lids on the front of the charging station in place for now. Make sure the station faces the right way
(i.e. the connecting side is at the front).
• Close the hole using around 20 cm of soil/sand.
• Install the cap in the back using the nuts that have been supplied.
• Keep in mind that there is sufficient space for the operation of the charging station. For this we advise to keep at least 1
meter of free space around the charging station.
