Tools required before installing the Wall-Mounted charger, gather the
following tools:
• Wire stripper
• Crimpers for European terminals
• Phillips screwdriver for M4 ~ M6
• Slotted screwdriver for 4~5.5MM
• Voltmeter or digital multimeter (for measuring AC voltage at the
installation site)
• The inserting cable should meet the best waterproof performance. It is
recommended to use 3 core / 8AWG or 10mm²cable (XLPE or equivalent
cable) to pull the cable from the distribution box, the maximum outer
diameter of the cable should be 13mm ~ 18mm.
• Level ruler
• Pencil or marker
• Machine drill
7.2 Tools and Materials Required
Before installing the wall-mounted bracket, you should confirm that the
loading capacity of the wall can reach a weight of 36 kg. When installing
on a cement wall, you can use the included expansion screw to install the
bracket and use a cement drill to drill holes on the cement wall (Ø8mm) with
the hole spacing in accordance with 3.2 wall-mounted bracket.
When installing on a wooden wall, you can directly use the included M6 self-
tapping screws to installl the wall-mounted bracket, and you can use the
back-mounted backplane to directly lock and install on the wall.
7.3 Wall-Mounted Bracket Installation Requirements
To select and locate the best position of the wall-mounted component, you
need to determine the parking position of the vehicle rst to ensure that the
charging connector can be inserted into the vehicle charging inlet.
Wall-mounted components should be located :
• In a enclosed garage, it is usually on the side of vehicle charging inlet.
• In a well-ventilated area. Avoid installing in closed boxes or near the
exothermic chargers.
• 1.2 meters or 4 feet above the floor.
