3. Installation & Conguration
3.1. Before Installation
3.1.A. Safety Check
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply before installing or repairing the Loop EV-Flex EVSE. Failure to
do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the Loop EV-Flex EVSE.
The Loop EV-Flex EVSE must be installed only by a licensed electrician in accordance with the provisions of the local
electrical industry construction and should comply with national electrical codes and standards.
Before installing the Loop EV-Flex EVSE, make sure you have read all instructions in this manual and fully understand
its contents.
Proper protective equipment is required when connecting to a main switchboard. The tools and parts used as outlined
in the section “Tools & parts required for installation”.

3.3. Assembly and Installation of the Charging Station
1. Open the carton and remove the upper partition.
Figure 3-1 Opening the carton
2. Take out the Loop EV-Flex EVSE and upturn middle partition. The charging plug is in the bottom of the package.
Figure 3-2 Take out the Loop EV-Flex EVSE
3. Remove the holster assembly placed inside the right of the middle partition.
Figure 3-2 Accessories inside the middle partion

4. Release the bottom T20 screw, then the wall mounting bracket can be removed.
Figure 3-4 Release the T20 screw
Figure 3-5 Remove the Mounting Bracket
5. Place the Charging Station on a at surface, front cover down with protection under the cover to avoid scratching
damage to the cover. Remove the Charging Station front cover by loosening the (5) Torx screws at the rear of the
charging station.

CAUTION: The LED board is attached to the charging station front cover and the charging
station circuit board. Use care to not place force or strain on the wiring harness when the cover
screws are removed. Failure to do so may result in damage to the charging station, which is not
covered under warranty.
With the (5) Torx screws loosened, hold the front cover in place to avoid strain being placed on the LED board wiring
harness and ip the charging station over on the at surface so that the front cover is on top. Once this is completed,
gently lift the charging station front cover and place to the right side of the charging station unit. Again, use care to
not place force or strain on the wiring harness when the front cover screws are removed. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the charging station.
6. Prepare an 11-inch-long 1in diameter ex or rigid conduit in accordance with all applicable state, local and national
electrical codes and standards. Prepare the conduit as shown in gure below
’
Figure 3-7 Loop EV-Flex EVSE with ex conduit attached
7. Assemble the Flex conduit and attach it to the EV, with the lock rings secured.
Figure 3-8 Flex conduit

8. Prepare approximately 25 in. long 10 AWG ground wire, and 8 AWG for the black and red wire.
Use vinyl insulated locking fork terminals, 12-10 AWG, stud size 10. Using the appropriate tool, clamp the wire terminal to
the copper wire. For non-insulated terminals, use heat shrink tube to cover the non-insulated portion of the terminal.
’
Figure 3-9 25 in. conductors
9. 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-yellow wire for G). Attach the copper wire on the corresponding terminal block.
