Leveling
Should the concrete pad not be level, hex nuts and washers may be placed between post and
concrete pad. This method will cause a gap between the base of the post and cement, increase
conduit height above cement accordingly (minimum of 3”). See next page for post mounting
instructions.
VersiCharge Wiring Instructions
Please consider all safety warnings in the VersiCharge Installation and Operation manual
(document # 813776) prior to wiring. The post product is compatible with the VC30GRYU product
and the VCSG30GRYUW product. To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided
with 40 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the
ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code. VersiCharge EV charging stations can draw up to 30A
at 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (7.2kW of power). Use 6-8 AWG, 75°C copper wire to connect to supply
circuit. Refer to section 3.4 of the VersiCharge Installation and Operations Manual for instruction
on removing the cord-and-plug assembly and steps for hardwired installation. Ensure breaker is
off during all electrical work.

Concrete Mounting Instructions
This page is scaled 1:1 relative to the bottom of the post,
item 2. The center of the post must be placed minimum 36”
behind the curb if there is no wheel stop or minimum 12”
behind the curb if there is a wheel stop. Installation of the
post is dependent upon application (parking deck, lot,
curbside, etc.) but in general at least 2.25” of qty 4 x 3/8”-16
threaded bolts must protrude from the selected mounting
surface in the orientation shown (7” x 7” square). Mounting
hardware is sold separately. Suggested hardware consists
of qty 4 x 3/8”-16 S/S L-hook 8” anchor bolts, at least qty 4 x
3/8”-16 S/S nylon insert nuts and washers. If leveling is
required, it is suggested to use qty 8 nuts. Acorn nuts are
suggested to be used as a safety precaution, but are not
required. Suggested concrete pad size is minimum 16”
diameter circle, or minimum 18” square, with a minimum
depth of at least 24”. Bolts are inserted into cement at the
locations shown below (ensure the bolts are perpendicular
relative to mounting surface). Cable in an approved
electrical conduit is run from the power source, through the
cement, emerging within the designated area shown below.
The electrical conduit must protrude at least 3” from the
surface of the concrete. Consult NEC when deciding upon
appropriate electrical conduit for your application. The wire
must protrude 72” from the surface of the concrete. Refer to
section 3.4 of the VersiCharge Installation and Operations
Manual for instruction on removing the cord-and-plug
assembly and stripping wires. Use 6-8 AWG, 75°C copper
wire to connect to supply circuit.
