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.
 CONSIGNES DE MISE À LA TERRE

Ce produit doit être mis à la terre. En cas de mauvais fonctionnement ou de
rupture, la mise à la terre offre un trajet de moindre résistance au courant
électrique ce qui réduit le risque de chocélectrique. Ce produit est munid’un
cordon contenant unconducteur et une fiche demise à la terre. La fiche doit être
introduite dans une prise appropriée, installée correctement et mise à la terre
conformément aux codes et règlements locaux
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor might 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.
 AVERTISSEMENT

Une mauvaise connexion du conducteur de mise à la terre peut présenter un
risque de choc électrique. Consultez un électricien ou un technician qualifié si
vous avez des doutes quant à la qualité de la mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la
fiche qui équipe le produit – si elle ne convient pas à la prise, faire installer une
prise appropriée par un électricien qualifié.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Smart EV Charger
The Smart EV Charger is designed to provide reliable and economical charging of an
electric vehicle (EV). It provides Level 2 EV charging from the AC and the PV system, and
is designed to work with all plug-in vehicles with J1772 (Type 1) socket.
The Smart EV Charger is also used for hanging the Smart EV Charger cable, protecting
the plug from rain when not plugged into the vehicle.
The Smart EV Charger offers the following connection options to the grid:
AC plug (NEMA 6-50) used for plugging the Smart EVCharger into the wall socket
for connecting to the alternating current (AC).
Direct AC connection to the Smart EV Charger. To be performed only by a
professional installer.
Additionally, there is an option for connecting the Smart EV Charger to a Single phase
inverter with HD-Wave technology at your site, enabling to use PV power as well as grid
power for EV charging. This option is to be performed only by a professional installer.
