• This charger should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by a qualified electrician or a
person familiar with the construction and operation of this type of charger and the
dangers involved. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the
charger, or even severe injury or death.
• Incorrect installation and testing of the charger could potentially damage either
the vehicle’s battery and the charger. This type is damage is not covered by our
warranty policy.
• Ensure that the charging cable is well-positioned during the charging process, to
avoid the cable getting stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use this charger with a frayed charging cable having damaged insulation or
any other sign of damage.
• Ensure that the wire type, diameter, current rating, and temperature rating comply
with the local electrical standards and requirements in your local area.
• Before starting the installation, turn off all power.
• For permanently connected equipment, protective grounding and bonding
terminals-field wiring terminals for connection of equipment-grounding conductors
are identified by: “G,” “GR,” “GND,” “Ground,” “Grounding” or the ground symbol,
either on a wiring diagram provided on the unit, or a marking on the wiring diagram
attached to the unit.
• This device should be supervised when used around children.
• Do not put fingers into the electric vehicle connector.
• The device is not to be lifted or carried by either the flexible cord or the EV cable.

Tools and Materials
Required
Tools required before installing the charger onto the Wall-Mount Bracket are:
• Wire stripper
• Crimpers for ring terminals
• Phillips screwdriver for M4 – M6 1-3/8 inch or 34 mm drill bit
• Voltmeter or digital multimeter (for measuring AC voltage at the installation site)
• The inserting cable should meet the best waterproof performance requirements.
It is recommended to use a 3 core/ 6AWG or 14mm2 cable (XLPE-90°C, THHN-90°C, or
equivalent) to pull the cable from the distribution box. The maximum outer diameter
of the cable should be 16mm–23mm.
• Level ruler
• Pencil or marker
• Machine drill
• Ring terminal (recommend type 14-5) for 6 AWG wire, and fixed by M5 slotted
head screw
• It is recommended to use 1-inch watertight flexible metal conduit compliant with
NEMA 4 class.
• Slotted head screwdriver for M5
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 88 lbs. 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).
When installing on a wooden wall, you can directly use the included M5 self-tapping
screws to install the wall-mount bracket and use the wall-mount backplane to lock
and install on the wall directly.

EVC48 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 to
exothermic chargers.
• 4 feet above the floor.
• 10 inches from any obstacles to allow cables to loop around the wires and to allow
related maintenance.
• If in an enclosed garage, on the side of vehicle charging inlet.
Warning for WiFi and 4G versions
Due to different congenital environments, it is recommended to first conduct WiFi 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 WiFi or 4G connection or disconnection
due to external interference in the area.

Setup & Installation
Installation of the wall-mounted
metal plate
Take out the wall-mounted metal plate and locate all the installation holes.
Use as a template to mark on the wall with a pencil or any tool, and insert
4 sets of expansion bolts (M5 X 40mm) into the wall, as shown in the figure.
Install the wall-mounted metal plate on the cement wall.

Setup & Installation (cont’d)
Installation of the wire box
First, remove the waterproof cover at the inlet end marked as “AC In”. Then,
install the accessory “1-inch liquidtight flexible metal conduit” at the inlet of
the power cord, and attach the wire box to the wall-mounted metal plate
with screws.
2
Installation of the AC power cord
The cross-sectional area of the three power cords should be AWG 6 or
14mm2. The power cords should be fully crimped and connected with ring
terminals. The ring terminals should be attached to the wire box with M5
screws, with a tightening torque of 40kg-cm. Refer to label on the wire box
for the correct positions, where the positions are L1/L, GND/PE, and L2/N,
respectively, from the left to the right.

Next, move the charger equipment in a horizontal direction, so that the AC
connector of the equipment can be inserted into the conductive spring plate
of the wire box. Meanwhile, apply pressure to the equipment, so that the
three screw holes of the equipment align with the three holes of the wall-
mounted metal plate.
Finally, tighten with M6 plum screws in the order left (1) – right (2) – bottom (3),
with a tightening torque of 30 kg-cm.

Safety requirements
• Read this user manual thoroughly and make sure to review all local building and
electrical codes 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 60A 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 wire box. 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.
