1 WALL CONNECTOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
Safety Information
SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This document contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed when installing
and maintaining the Wall Connector.
WARNINGS
The Wall Connector must be grounded through a
permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding
conductor.
Do not install or use the Wall Connector near
flammable, explosive, harsh, or combustible materials,
chemicals, or vapors.
Turn off input power at the circuit breaker before
installing or cleaning the Wall Connector.
Use the Wall Connector only within the specified
operating parameters.
The Wall Connector is designed only for charging a
Tesla vehicle (excluding Tesla Roadster). Do not use it
for any other purpose or with any other vehicle or
object.
Never spray water or any other liquid directly at the
wall mounted control box. Never spray any liquid onto
the charge handle or submerge the charge handle in
liquid. Store the charge handle above the ground to
prevent unnecessary exposure to contamination or
moisture.
Stop using and do not use the Wall Connector if it is
defective, appears cracked, frayed, broken, or
otherwise damaged, or fails to operate, or continue
operation.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, tamper with, or
modify the Wall Connector. The Wall Connector is not
user serviceable. Contact Tesla for any repairs or
modification.
When transporting the Wall Connector, handle with
care. Do not subject it to strong force or impact or
pull, twist, tangle, drag, or step on the Wall Connector,
to prevent damage to it or any components.
Do not touch the Wall Connector’s end terminals with
sharp metallic objects, such as wire, tools, or needles.
Do not forcefully fold or apply pressure to any part of
the Wall Connector or damage it with sharp objects.
Do not insert foreign objects into any part of the Wall
Connector.
Do not use the Wall Connector when a vehicle cover is
on the vehicle.
Use of the Wall Connector may affect or impair the
operation of any medical or implantable electronic
devices, such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker or
an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Check with
your electronic device manufacturer concerning the
effects that charging may have on such electronic
devices before using the Wall Connector.
CAUTIONS
Incorrect installation and testing of the Wall
Connector could potentially damage either the
vehicle’s Battery and/or the Wall Connector itself. Any
resulting damage is excluded from New Vehicle
Limited Warranty and the Wall Connector Limited
Warranty.
Do not operate the Wall Connector in temperatures
outside its operating range of -30°C to +45°C.
Ensure that the Wall Connector’s charging cable is
positioned so it will not be stepped on, driven over,
tripped on, or subjected to damage or stress.
Do not use cleaning solvents to clean any of the Wall
Connector’s components. The outside of the Wall
Connector, the charging cable, and the connector end
of the charging cable should be periodically wiped
with a clean dry cloth to remove accumulation of dirt
and dust.
Be careful not to damage the circuit board when
removing the power entry knock-out.

Features
OPTIONAL CIRCUIT RATINGS
For the fastest charging, using a circuit
breaker rated for 50 amps is recommended.
SELF-MONITORING AND
RECOVERY
The Wall Connector has a ground monitoring
circuit that continuously checks for the
presence of a safe ground connection and
automatically recovers from faults. Manual
testing and resetting is not required.
Temporary problems such as ground faults or
utility power surges are overcome
automatically. If a GFCI fault occurs that
interrupts charging, the Wall Connector
automatically tries to clear the fault and
re-attempt charging.
If the problem is immediately sensed a second
time, the Wall Connector waits 15 minutes
before trying to charge. This process repeats
eight times and if all attempts are
unsuccessful, power is removed and no further
attempts are made. In this case, a red error
light lights up on the front panel (refer to the
troubleshooting table on page 15). It is
recommended that when you see a red error
light, you power off the Wall Connector by
switching off the circuit breaker, and then
power it back on again.
POWER OUTAGES
If a power outage occurs, the Wall Connector
automatically resumes charging when power is
restored. If the charging cable is plugged into
the vehicle when power is restored, the lights
blink and the unit does not energize the
charging cable for approximately 15 seconds
to 3 minutes. This prevents the utility grid from
experiencing a large surge when power is
restored, allowing vehicles to begin drawing
current at random times, rather than all at
once.

Service Wiring - Single Phase
WARNING: The Wall Connector is a
single-phase device. Do not connect all 3
phases of a 3-phase feed.
WARNING: Before installing the Wall
Connector, identify the type of utility
service connection available on site. If you are
unsure about the type of connection available
at the service panel, consult the local utility
company, or contact Tesla for assistance.
CAUTION: The line connection must
measure 220V RMS to neutral. earth
must also be connected to the Wall Connector.
For most branch circuits of 50A, use 16 mm2,
75°C hard copper wire. Ground wiring should
be at least 10 mm2. If your ground wiring does
not fit into the bus, use a wire nut or other
suitable connection method.
Run 32 mm metal pipe and flame retardant
conduit on the left side of a wall stud. The
conduit fits into the opening on either the back
or the left side of the Wall Connector as
described on page 8.
When connecting the line and neutral wires,
care must be taken that the service
transformer secondary connection is definitely
known, and the wires from the main circuit
breaker panel are correctly connected and
labeled. The illustrations provided show the
most commonly used wiring format in China.
NOTE: The line, neutral, and earth outputs
labeled on the illustrations correspond to the
inputs on the Wall Connector.
Ground (Earth) Connection
Always connect the earth line at the service
panel to earth. Ground fault protection is not
possible unless the earth line is connected to
earth.
If an earth connection is not available, you
must install a grounding stake nearby. The
grounding stake must be connected to the
ground bar in the main breaker panel, and
neutral connected to earth at that point.
WARNING: Follow local electrical codes
when installing the grounding stake.
IMPORTANT! Dip switch 4 must be set to
the 1 (left) position. See page 11.
