4 WALL CONNECTOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
Features
OPTIONAL CIRCUIT RATINGS
For the fastest charging in the United States,
using a circuit breaker rated for 100 amps is
recommended. For other regions, use an
appropriate overcurrent protection device as
required by local regulations. In certain home
or office locations, this level of power isn’t
readily available. Therefore, you can adjust the
current setting on the Wall Connector from 12
to 80 amp operating current (see page 16).
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 19). It is
recommended that when you see a red error
light, you power off the Wall Connector 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 - North America
120V ABOVE GROUND
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 two phases used must
each measure 120V to neutral. earth
ground must be connected to neutral at only
one point, usually at the breaker panel.
CAUTION: If a 240V 3-phase feed is from
a Delta-connected secondary, the leg
used must have a center tap. This center tap
must be grounded. Only the two phases on
either side of the center-tapped leg can be
used.
For most branch circuits of 100A, use 3 AWG
(26.7 mm2), 167°F (75°C) copper wire. Ground
wiring can be a maximum of 4 AWG. If your
ground wiring does not fit into the bus, use a
wire nut or other suitable connection method.
For installations less than 100A, use
conductors that are sized according to local
electrical codes.
Run 1” (25 mm) 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 12.
The service connections described next are
primarily used in North America. For service
connections used in Europe and Australia
(sometimes known as “TT Power Grid”), see
page 7.
Only three wires are connected, but care must
be taken that the service transformer
secondary connection is definitely known, and
that the three wires from the main circuit
breaker panel are correctly connected and
labeled. The illustrations shown are the most
commonly used wiring formats.
NOTE: The L1, L2, and ground outputs labeled
on the illustrations correspond to the inputs on
the Wall Connector.
Ground Connection
Always connect the neutral at the service to
earth ground. Ground fault protection is not
possible unless the neutral (center tap on the
service transformer) is connected to an earth
ground.
If ground is not provided by the electrical
service, 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
ground at that point.
WARNING: Follow local electrical codes
when installing the grounding stake.

Service Wiring - North America cont’d
208V 3-Phase Wye-Connected
With a Wye-connected secondary, any two of
the legs can be used to provide 208V to the
Wall Connector. For example, L1 and L2, or L1
and L3, or L2 and L3. The two used phases
must each measure 120V to neutral.
NOTE: A current-carrying neutral is not
required.
CAUTION: The unused leg (L3 in the
illustration) must remain open. Do not
connect to a neutral bar, or to ground.
CAUTION: The center point of the 3
phases (normally used as neutral) must
be grounded to earth at only one point. This is
usually at the breaker panel.
240V 3-Phase Delta-Connected
With the delta connection, one leg must be
center tapped, and only the two phases on
either side of the center tap can be used. The
two used phases must each measure 120V to
neutral.
Consult the transformer manufacturer’s
literature to verify that the single leg can
supply the required power.
NOTE: The Wall Connector’s contactor closes
only if it detects the presence of a Ground wire
connected to a neutral point on the
transformer secondary.
CAUTION: The third line (L3 in the
illustration) of the delta is 208V, with
respect to neutral, and is sometimes referred
to as a “stinger.” Do not use this third line.
CAUTION: Do not use a 3-phase
delta-connected transformer secondary
without a center tap on one leg. No “neutral”
point is available for the required ground
connection.

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 230V RMS to neutral. earth
must also be connected to the Wall Connector.
For most branch circuits of 100A, use 3 AWG
(26.7 mm2), 75°C (167°F) copper wire. For
installations less than 100A, use conductors
that are sized according to local electrical
codes. Ground wiring can be a maximum of 4
AWG. If your ground wiring does not fit into
the bus, use a wire nut or other suitable
connection method.
Run 25 mm (1”) conduit on the left side of a
wall stud. The conduit fits into the opening on

Connector as described on page 12.
The service connections described below are
primarily used in Europe and Australia
(sometimes known as “TT Power Grid”). For
service connections used in North America,
see page 5.
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 Europe.
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 neutral line at the service
panel to earth. Ground fault protection is not
possible unless the neutral line is connected to
earth.
If an earth connection is not available, you

Step Two - Install Wall Bracket
You can run 1” (25 mm) conduit into either the
back or the left side of the Wall Connector’s
main enclosure. Regardless of the conduit
opening you use, always run the conduit on
the left side of a wall stud. Refer to the
illustration below for dimensions.
When determining where to mount the Wall
Connector, keep in mind that its 25’ (7.6 m)
charge cable should easily reach the vehicle’s
charging port without straining the
connections at either end.
1Use the mounting bracket as a guide to
mark the location on the wall for the two
mounting screws.
• Space the holes exactly 8 7/16” (214
mm) apart.
• The height of the bracket should
ensure that the charging connector is
located at a maximum of 48” from floor
level.* The minimum height is 18” (46
cm) if mounting indoors, and 24”
(61cm) if mounting outdoors.
2Drill two 3/8” (7.1 mm) holes in the wall.
3Attach the wall bracket using fasteners
appropriate for the type of wall material.
Use the supplied lag screws and washers
only if mounting to a solid wooden wall
stud. If mounting to another type of wall
(hollow, masonry, etc.), use fasteners that

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Before continuing, use a
voltmeter to confirm that NO POWER is
available at the service wiring or terminals.
2Open the front cover and hold it with one
hand while completing the next step.
CAUTION: Do not release the front
cover and allow it to hang from the
ribbon cable. Doing so can damage the
ribbon cable’s connectors.
3Adjust DIP switches to set the operating
current based on the type of breaker being
used. Use a pointed non-conductive object
such as a plastic pen.
NOTE: Power MUST be turned off before
setting or changing DIP switches. If you set
DIP switches with the power on, not only is
it dangerous because of the risk of electric
shock (see warning above), but the
changes are not recognized.
