3Installation
3.1 Before installation
3.1.1 Safety check
• Check for transport damages.
• Before connecting the product to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage and
current rating corresponds with the power supply details shown on the product rating label.
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 all of these instructions in this manual
and fully understand its contents.
Appropriate protection is required when connecting to a main switchboard. The tools and parts used
as outlined in the section “Tools & parts required for installation”.
3.1.2 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.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply before installing 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: Avoid touching or pressing the OLED screen all times, as this may result in
damage to the OLED screen.
DANGER: RISK OF SUFFOCATION
Keep any packing materials away from children – these materials are a potential source
of danger, e.g. suffocation.

3.4 Install the charging station
1. Secure the main body mounting bracket to the wall with appropriate screw.
Follow applicable accessibility requirements for the mounting position. The unit shall be stored or
located at a sufficient height.
For indoor use: The unit shall be mounted at a sufficient height from the floor between 18 inches
(450 mm) and 4 feet (1.2m).
For outdoor use: The unit shall be mounted at a sufficient height from the floor between 24 inches
(600 mm) and 4 feet (1.2m).
The mounting bracket has ten screw holes. If only two screws be used to fasten the mounting
bracket, the screws should pass through the middle two screw holes of the mounting bracket. The
other screw holes are reserved for the user.
DANGER: Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before installation.
CAUTION: Before mounting determine the suitable mounting location. The unit must be fixed
to a wooden or masonry/concrete wall using hardware that is appropriate for the surface. Do
not install on drywalls, wall boards or thin plywoods. The fixing point must be capable of
supporting the weight of the unit.
