The operating temperate assumes the ambient temperature of a product delivered in the
default enclosure colours RAL9016 (star white) + RAL7021 (black grey). Direct exposure to
sunlight may have an adverse effect on the temperature range.
If the product is exposed to lower or higher ambient temperatures, continuous operation
cannot be guaranteed. If temperatures exceed the maximum values, the charging station will
automatically decrease the charging current to decrease the internal temperature of the
charging station. This stabilises the internal temperature and makes it less likely that a
transaction will be unexpectedly paused.
If the product is directly exposed to sunlight, the automated temperature management may
automatically start below the maximum ambient temperature. Therefore, wherever possible,
avoid exposing the charging station to direct sunlight.
Where products are exposed to the elements of nature, the enclosure can be subject to
gradual aging of the material, which can result in product discolouration over time. Therefore,
wherever possible, place the product in a sheltered place to optimise the life of the materials.

6. Preparing the installation
First step is to prepare the physical installation of the EV Base Ultra as described in this chapter.
Installation prerequisites
•Calculate the existing electrical load to find the maximum operating current for the charging
station installation. Note that with the Smappee Overload functionality more charging stations
or the total maximum operating current can be higher than the physical installation allows.
•Obtain all necessary permits from the relevant local authority.
•Refer to local wiring regulations to select the conductor sizes and use only copper or
aluminium conductors.
•Make sure that the installation area of the charging station is adequate for usability and
ventilation purposes.
•Use the correct tools and provide sufficient material resources and protection measures.
•Make sure that there is an Ethernet based internet connection available for each EV Base
Ultra (1 per unit). It is possible to operate the station using only its 4G connection, but this is
not recommended.
Power supply
•The appropriate wire gauge of the supply cable depends on the power rating and distance
between the meter cabinet and the charging station. The voltage drop must not exceed 5%. It
is advisable to have a maximum voltage drop of 3 %.
•The maximum cable lug that can be fitted has a width of 32 mm.
•The power supply trajectory from the circuit breaker panel up to the EV Base Ultra charging
station must be protected against short-circuiting and over-current with B or C circuit breakers
(or otherwise in compliance with local standards and regulations)
•A charging station connector must always be installed on a dedicated power circuit.
•When the power supply and the charging station are part of a TN-S system, the station must
be grounded via the main distributor.
•Route the power supply cables to the position where the charging station will be installed
together with an Ethernet cable for the internet connection.
•Make sure the power supply cables are positioned through the central position of the EV Base
Ultra anchor.
•Make sure that there is at least 30 cm available out of the ground.
•Local regulations may be applicable and can vary depending upon the region or country.
The power line enters the charging station via the floor plate.
The Ethernet cable, used for the internet connection, enters the charging station via the
EV Base Ultra anchor.

7. Installation and activation
This procedure describes the required steps for the physical installation of the EV Base Ultra.
CAUTION: The installation must be carried out by a qualified professional who has read
this manual and works in compliance with IEC 60364 standards. Neglecting this may lead
to severe injuries or hazardous situations while working with electricity.
CAUTION: The electric system must be entirely disconnected from every power source
prior to performing installation or maintenance work. Make sure it is not possible to
connect the electric current during installation. Put up caution tape and warning signs to
mark the work areas. Make sure no unauthorised people can enter the work areas.
CAUTION: Hazardous electrical voltages are present in the EV Base Ultra (up to 1000V)
CAUTION: The charging station contains electric components that may still contain
electrical charge after being disconnected. Wait at least 10 seconds after disconnection
before commencing work.
CAUTION: Adaptors or conversion adaptors and cord extension sets are not allowed to be
used.
The EV Base Ultra contains components and circuits boards sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. Sufficient ESD measures should be taken to protect the components during
installation and maintenance.
Components of the EV Base Ultra can be very heavy, for example the inverters.
Take care that components don’t squeeze a human body or body part while assembling or
disassembling.
Transport, storage and unboxing the EV Base Ultra
Transport and storage
•Disconnect electrical power supply before removing the charging station for storage or
relocation.
•Only transport and store the charging station in its original packaging. No liability for damage
incurred will be accepted if the charging station is transported in non-standard packaging.
•Store the charging station in a dry environment within the temperature range specified in the
technical specifications.
Unboxing
The charging unit, charging cable, inverters and anchor are delivered in separate boxes. Make sure
to use the proper equipment or enough people to move the different components.
Especially the charging unit and inverters need more than one person to lift.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
13
Unboxing the different components doesn’t need special attention. Just keep in mind to store the
cardboard, as this can be used to safely store the front and back panel while installing the EV Base
Ultra.
Assemble the EV Base Ultra anchor
The Smappee EV Base Ultra is designed to be installed at ground level using the supplied anchor.
It is mandatory to use this anchor.
In order to guarantee compact transportation, the anchor is supplied in a kit and needs assembling.
To separate the parts, first remove all nuts holding the different parts together.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
14
The dimensions of the assembled anchor are as followed.
Follow these instructions to assemble the different parts:
•Take one side panel, one front panel and two mounting corners.
•Join the front and side panel using the grooves and place the joined panels over a mounting
corner.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
15
•Take the second side panel and place this in the same position as the other side panel. Use
the grooves to join the side panel to the front panel.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
16
•Take the last front panel and use the grooves to mount the panel to the two side panels.
•This makes sure the four panels are joined together. They still need to be secured using the
mounting corners. Carefully tilt the anchor to slide the mounting corners into position. The
mounting corners can be fixed by hand tightening the supplied nuts.
Do NOT torque the nuts yet. This is done during the last step of the assembly.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
17
•Place the cover plate on the anchor and secure with the supplied nuts using a socket
wrench.
•Finally, the nuts of the mounting corners can be tightened with a socket wrench.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
18
•The EV Base Ultra anchor is now ready to be mounted and to host the charging station.
Mount the EV Base Ultra anchor
A stable and level ground needs to be prepared in advance. We advise a levelled concrete
foundation at ground level minus the height of the anchor. It is also possible to have the foundation
a little lower. This allows the EV Base Ultra to be integrated in the surrounding soil.
The EV Base Ultra can be placed maximum 3 cm below the top of the surrounding soil for aesthetic
purposes. It cannot be placed lower as there will be risk of water ingress.
To correctly install the EV Base Ultra anchor:
a. Create a foundation made of a dry mixture of sand and cement. The minimum dimensions of
this foundation are 450mm by 750mm. This is a bit larger than the dimensions of the anchor,
to make sure a stable foundation is created.
b. Reinforce the corners of the foundation using a concrete block.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English
19
c. Make sure the concrete blocks are level in both directions. If not, adjust until level.
d. Place the EV Base Ultra anchor on the concrete blocks. If needed, the position of the anchor
is fixed by pushing a hub through the holes in the corner.
e. Route all necessary cables through the anchor. This includes power supply, ground and
ethernet cables.
f. Fill the anchor with concrete until half of the anchor is filled with concrete. It is normal that
some excess concrete pours out of the holes. Use this excess to further fix the anchor to the
foundation.
g. Wait for the concrete to cure before going to the next steps.
The EV Base Ultra anchor is now secured in place and ready for the EV Base Ultra to be mounted.
Place the EV Base Ultra on the anchor
a. While the EV Base Ultra is in the carboard box, first remove the backplate of the EV Base
Ultra. The back plate is the one without the Smappee avatar. This removes some weight
from the charger and provides extra grip.
Remove the backplate of the EV Base Ultra by unscrewing the 12 screws (using a 5 mm hex
screwdriver) and put it in a safe location where it cannot be scratched or damaged
otherwise; for instance in the packaging of the EV Base Ultra.

Smappee EV Base Ultra –Installation manual –English

b. Put the EV Base Ultra in an upright position. By tilting the EV Base Ultra back and forwards,
the cardboard is removed underneath the charging unit.
c. Remove the front plate of the EV Base Ultra by unscrewing the upper 4 screws (using a 5 mm
hex screwdriver). After unscrewing the 4 screws, the front plate can be removed by lifting
and moving it forward. Put it at a safe location where it cannot be scratched or damaged
otherwise; for instance in the packaging of the EV Base Ultra.
