Make sure that the IP54 protection class of the charger can be maintained (protected against dust and water
splashes).
4.2. PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Before starting to install and operate the charger, the user must always read this
document very carefully, take into consideration all the warnings and follow all the
instructions as described in this manual.

Make sure that the electric vehicle can be parked for a long period in the vicinity of the charger in such a way
that the included charging connector with its 5m of cable can be plugged into the electric vehicle’s charging
If an optional metal pillar is used, make sure that this is mounted in the highest point of the floor, in such a way
that during rain the metal pillar base will not be sitting in a puddle of water.
Before installing the charger, the electrical installation for the power supply of the charger must be put in place.
The electrical installation for the power supply of the charger must have the next characteristics:
M
A
40A, tripping curve B or C and a rated breaking capacity of 6kA.
The cable must be properly secured and protected.
4.3. BEFORE INSTALLING
Because the installation of the charger differs from user to user, the required electrical
equipment (e.g. breaker, wiring, installation accessories) is not unique and therefore is not
delivered with the charger.
Due to the danger of electric shock, the electrical installation for the power supply of the charger
must be always carried out by qualified personnel and in accordance with the electrical regulations
applicable in your country.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock which can be fatal or cause serious physical injuries.

Depending on where the charger will be placed, there are two methods to install the charger:
1. Installation on a wall.
2. Installation on a metal pillar.
When deciding which installation method is best suited for you consider the recommendations described in
section .
4.4. INSTALLATION STEPS
To install the charger on a wall follow the installation steps described below.
1. Remove the charger from its packaging and make sure that all the components are included:

2. Inspect the charger for any damages. The main components of the charger described in step 1, must
not reveal any cracks, defects or other imperfections. Also, the electrical insulation of the included charging
cable must be intact. If defects are found, do not proceed with the installation process and immediately
contact the manufacturer or the local supplier. For contact details please see section .
3. Determine the best place for the charger to be installed, taking into consideration the recommendations
described in section
4. Mark on the wall the position of the charger’s 3 mounting points. For a quick and correct marking of the
mounting points please use the provided drilling template. It is recommended to install the charger at 1,3m
above the floor.
5. Drill holes in the wall where the mounting points are marked. The diameter of the holes depends on what type
of screw anchor are used. Always use anchor screws dedicated to your wall surface (e.g. brick/concrete,
drywall, polystyrene insulation) and follow the recommendations of the anchor screw manufacturer.
Installation steps:
4.4.1. INSTALLATION ON A WALL
Never install a product that is damaged.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock and/or material
damages (electric vehicle included).

6. Insert the screw anchor into the holes and make sure they are inserted all the way. If necessary, use a hammer
and gently tap the anchor screws all the way into the holes.
7. Using a step drill bit, drill a 30mm diameter hole into one of the existing precut areas from the plastic enclosure.
These easy to cut areas are used to insert the power supply cable into the main body of the charger.
There are 2 available easy to cut areas through which the power supply cable can be inserted into the charger.
One area is on the rear of the enclosure and one area is on the bottom left side.
8. If the rear cut-out area is used, insert the provided sealing cap in the cut-out hole. Insert the power supply cable
through the sealing cap, to ensure water tightness. If the bottom left cut-out hole is used skip this step.
9. Fix the main body of the charger on the wall by inserting the screws with the provided rubber sealing washer
through the mounting points and tighten them with a screwdriver by hand.
