1.2. Series 7 Electrical Requirements / Wiring
Diagram
Wiring Color Code
The illustrations and diagrams in this document reflect Level-2 wiring color code. Strictly adhere to the wire
color codes to ensure proper installation.
Use 10 AWG wire minimum (ensure compliance with electrical codes).
Wiring Diagram
Connect the Series 7 Charging Stations to any one of the power sources (Figure-1):
1. 240 VAC three phase, Delta system, Center tap grounded
2. 208 VAC three phase, Wye system, Bonded neutral
3. 240 VAC single phase, Bonded neutral
In a Wye system connect the Series 7 Charging Stations to any of the two lines. Do not use the system if it
has a floating ground.
In a delta system, connect the Series 7 Charging Station only to a center-tapped grounded transformer only
as shown above. Connect the station to the side where ground is bonded (in figure 2.C, Line A and Line C).
This allows voltages to remain constant regardless of other loads that may be using the lines. Please do not
connect to other type of power sources shown below.

Wiring To System – Separate Power
Key Requirements
• Each EV charging station shall be on a dedicated electrical circuit.
• Each station shall be protected with a 100 Amp 2-pole common trip circuit breaker (non-GFCI type).
• Each station is designed to draw a maximum of 80 Amps.
• Each station can operate on either a 240V or 208V circuit.
• Each station requires five electrical supply wires (four hot, one ground, no neutral).
• All data communication is wireless, so there is no data cabling to install, but cellular communication is
required.
The figure below describes the wiring for installation of Series 7 Plus Charging Station on a separate power
circuit.

1.4.2. Anchor Plate Installation
Site Location
Select the location for the charging station. To mount the charging station, first prepare a concrete pad
properly aligned to the parking space. The concrete pad should be positioned such that the distance
between the charging station and electric vehicle is enough to minimize likelihood of damage.
Install Anchor Plate
Fit all J-Bolts (4), Pedestal (4) and CMS (2) Disposable Bolts to the anchor plate. (Figure-6)
• The flat side on which 6 nuts are welded on the Anchor Plate face downwards.
• Do not remove Disposable Bolts (6) from the anchor plate until the pedestal is ready to be installed.
• Make sure that only one thread of the top nut is visible after the J-Bolts are fitted to the anchor plate
(Figure 7)
Insert the anchor plate into the concrete (Figure-8).
• Ensure that at least 40” of wire extends out of the conduit.
• Insert the anchor plate into the concrete immediately after pouring the concrete.
• It is recommended to vibrate the concrete to eliminate any air bubbles.

• Anchor plate surface should be in level with the ground.
Note: Continuously check for the anchor plate until concrete sets to make sure that anchor plate does not
sink into the concrete

1.4.3. Pedestal Installation
Install the Pedestal
Now you are ready to install the Pedestal Unit. Carefully place the Pedestal Unit over the conduit and wires.
• Place the Pedestal Unit on the Anchor Plate such that the bolt holes are aligned.
• Ensure that the electric wires can be easily accessed through the access panel provided in the
Pedestal’s top section.
• Please ensure that access panel is to your right, when seen from the front end.
Anchor Bolts and Leveling Screws

First insert anchor bolts and secure with one or two turns, but do not tighten.
• The leveling screws that can be found on four sides are used to adjust for plumb.
• Adjust leveling screws to make pedestal plumb (check with Level at two points separated by 90
degrees).
• Gradually tighten anchor bolts to secure the Pedestal Unit to the Anchor Plate. Re-check for plumb.
Attach Cable Rack
Loosen the cable rack mount screws. Now attach the Cable Rack to the Pedestal and tighten the screws.
Check that the Cable Rack is secure and is firmly attached to the Pedestal.

Red with Black stripe, Black with White stripe and Green) and 5 wires from the Pedestal with the
same color combination.
• Remove the insulation on each wire and prepare to connect those using wire-nuts.
• Match the wires using the colors (Black-Black, Green-Green & Red-Red) and connect them using wire
nuts as illustrated above.
• Also make sure that the striped wires are connected to the left side of the power source.
• Once connected, slowly insert the wires into the device and replace the access panel cover using the
screws previously removed.
CAUTION: Refer to the wire color codes and strictly adhere to this convention while connecting the charging
station and electrical supply wires. Incorrect wiring can lead to an electrical hazard.
