7. Installation Instructions
Safety Requirements
•Read this user manual thoroughly
and make sure to review all local
building and electrical codes are
reviewed before installing the AC
charger.
•A qualified technician should install
the AC charger according to the user
manual and local safety regulations.
•Use appropriate protection when
connecting to the main power
distribution cable.
•Type B, C or D breaker with a rating
current of 40Amp should be installed
in the upstream AC distribution box.
•Disconnect switch for each
ungrounded conductor of AC input
shall be provided by others in
accordance with the National
Electric Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70.
•Verify that the Wall Connector is
properly grounded. The Ground
connection must be bonded in the
upstream power supply for proper
operation. Check all physical
connections, including the wire box
terminals, electrical panel(s), and
junction boxes. In residential power
supplies, check the bond between
Ground and neutral at the main
panel. If connected to a step-down
transformer, contact the transformer's
manufacturer for direction on how to
bond the ground connection.

7.3 Wall-Mount Bracket Installation
Requirements
Before installing the wall-mount 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) following the
hole spacing in accordance with image 3.2.
When installing on a wooden wall, you can
directly use the included M6 self-tapping
screws to install the wall-mount bracket and
use the wall-mount backplane to lock and
install on the wall directly.

7.4 Charger Installation Requirements
To select the best location and position to
install the wall-mount unit, you should first
determine the parking position of the
vehicle to ensure the charging connector
can be easily inserted into the vehicle
charging inlet. The wall-mount unit should be
located:
•In a well-ventilated area. Avoid
installing in closed boxes or near the
exothermic chargers.
•1.2 meters or 4 feet above the floor.
•250mm (10inches) from any obstacles
to allow cables to loop around the
wires and related maintenance.
•If in an enclosed garage, on the side
of vehicle charging inlet.
7.5 Installation Steps
Warning for Wi-Fi and 4G versions: Due to
different congenital environments, it is
recommended to first conduct Wi-Fi and 4G
module network signal tests before finalizing
your settings. It is recommended that the
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication)
value should be higher than-65dBm. If it is
lower than this value, it may result in a weak
Wi-Fi or 4G connection or disconnection due
to external interference in the area.
Step 1
Use screwdriver to loosen the 9 fixed screws
on the rear of charger, then remove the
front cover.
Step 2
Connect and lock the M25 waterproof
gland Part1 and Part2 (including the
washer) to the mounting holes as shown
below.

PEV-AW32 User Manual 10

Step 3
15~18mm of the insulation sheath should be
stripped off the three AC wires. Take out the
included needle terminal and install the
needle terminal on the three GND/PE, L1/L,
L2/N wires. Pass the three wires through the
M25 waterproof gland Part 3.
Step 4
Insert the three wires into the wire holes of
the green terminal block to the
corresponding GND/PE, L1/L, L2/N and lock
them. The recommended screw torque is
1.5 N.m (13.3 lbf.in).
Step 5 (For Internet Edition model with 4G
function)
The SIM card slot is located on the right
side. Insert the SIM card according to the
image below.
Important Note: Before installing the SIM
card to the charger, it is necessary to
confirm that the SIM card has been
activated and the password has been
cancelled.
Step 6
