INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK
For a permanently connected product: MODEL
SEV1600HW ONLY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the product.
For a grounded, cord connected product MODELS
SEV1600P1450 AND SEV1600P650 ONLY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with
a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor is able to result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: The Schumacher Level 2 EV Wall Charger
must be installed by a licensed electrician. Any
changes to the wall charger’s electrical settings (page
13) must be made by a licensed electrician.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
1. This device shall be mounted at a sucient height from grade such
that the height of the storage means for the coupling device is
located between 600 mm (24 inches) and 1.2 m (4 feet) from grade.
2. Before starting the installation, choose a general mounting location
for the unit. The unit may be installed indoors or outdoors. Ensure
that the unit is within easy reach of where the hardwired circuit will
be installed by a licensed electrician or where there is an existing
NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 outlet. The cord or wiring leading into
the charging station should have some slack. The mounting location
should also allow the output cable with EV connector to have some
slack while in use.
3. Using a stud finder, locate a stud within the general mounting
location identified in the previous step. Use a pencil to mark the
location of the stud.
4. Next, use a level and a pencil to mark a line to designate the top of
the charging station when installation is complete. This is usually
about 50 inches above the finished floor. Use tape to attach the
mounting template so that the top edge of the template lines up
with the pencil line you just made.

2. Remove the wiring access panel located underneath the lower front
cover by unscrewing three M4 screws from the front of the charging
station. Set the screws aside for reassembly. Lift o the wiring
access panel and set aside for reassembly.
3. Turn over the charging station before
installing the cable cradle. Align
the cable cradle’s screw holes with
the screw holes on the back of the
charging station. Use the two 4 mm
x 16 mm screws to attach the cable
cradle.
Note: If desired, the cable cradle may
be mounted to the wall separate
from the unit. Be sure to mount the
cable cradle securely to a stud or use
heavy-duty drywall anchors.
ASSEMBLING THE CHARGING STATION
1. Lay the charging station on a flat
surface and remove the lower
front cover. Unscrew the single M4
screw at the bottom of the unit.
Set the screw aside for reassembly.
Then, slide the cover down and lift
to disengage the tabs at the top of
the front cover. Set aside the lower
front cover for reassembly.

HARDWIRING THE POWER SUPPLY PERMANENTLY TO
THE CHARGING STATION (MODEL SEV1600HW ONLY)
Turn o the power to circuit before installation. Do not restore power
until installation is complete. Failure to do so could result in injury or
death.
1. When installing a hardwired circuit, Schumacher Electric
recommends that the AC input uses a conduit into the rear opening
of the charging station.
2. Turn o the power to the circuit before mounting the charging
station.
3. Feed the conduit and wires through the back of the charging station,
removing the back head plug. Feed the cables through the back of
the charging station until the silver conductors are no longer visible.
Note: If installing the charging station outdoors and using the back
opening to route the conduit, apply liquid sealant or a gasket and
nut around the rear opening to prevent water ingress.
4. Inside the wiring access panel, there are two terminal blocks.
Securely insert wires into the left-hand terminal block as indicated
by the wiring diagram below.

L2 - Black Wire
PE - Green Wire
