Before Installation
2.1.1 Installation Planning & Service Wiring
The charging station 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
charging station, make sure you have read these instructions in this manual and fully understand its contents.
Appropriate protection is required when connecting to a main panel/switchboard. The tools and parts used as outlined
in the section “Tools & parts required for installation”.
Prior to installation, locate an available electrical source that can support the following Input Requirements for the
Charging Station Per National Electric Code (NEC) requirements:
•For Maximum Output Setting (30A Default Factory Setting), a DEDICATED CIRCUIT FOR EACH PORT rated for
minimum 40A; 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, Single Phase must be used. Circuits greater than 40A may also be used.
•A Double Pole Circuit Breaker of the circuit rating must be used. The Charging Unit has a built in GFCI protection;
do not provide any additional GFCI protection upstream of the charging unit.
Prior to mounting, determine location of an acceptable mounting support. All charging station products must be
anchored into a mounting support such as a 2” x 4” stud or a solid concrete wall, using mounting hardware that is
appropriate for the surface on which you are mounting. DO NOT mount this unit directly to a stucco/drywall/wall board.
If installing to a wood stud, use the lag screws provided and ensure the mounting plate is positioned on the centerline of
the stud. If mounting onto a concrete, block, or brick wall, use an appropriate anchor for the type of wall on which you
are installing the unit.
2.1.2 Grounding Instructions
The charging station must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent wiring system or an equipment
grounding conductor. Use a wire with a dedicated grounding wire and a ring terminal and connected to the equipment
ground terminal block for grounding.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
•Do not touch live electrical parts.
•Incorrect connections may cause electric shock.
•Disconnect the power supply to the charging station and verify no power is present before installing,
adjusting, or repairing the charging station. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to
the power supply system and the charging station.
CAUTION: The service wiring in this section are specific to North America only. Before installing the Charging
Station, identify the type of utility service connection available onsite. If you have unsure about the type of
connection available at the service panel, contact your utility service provider.
