Installation Planning and Service Wiring

WARNING : Disconnect the power supply to the charging station before installing, adjusting, or repairing the charging. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the charging station.
CAUTION : To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with the minimum branch circuit overcurrent protection requirements in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7- and the Canadian Electrical Safety Code, Part 1, C22.1. If you are unsure if your circuit meets these requirements consult a licensed electrician.

2.1 Electrical Source Requirements

• Prior to mounting, locate an available electrical source that can support the following Input Requirements for the Charging Station Per local Electrical Safety Code requirements:
  » 80A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 100A, 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, Single Phase must be used
  » 48A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 60A; 208-240 VAC, 5060 Hz; Single Phase must be used
  » 40A Maximum Output Setting DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 50A; 208-240 VAC, 50- 60 Hz, Single Phase must be used.
  » 32A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 40A; 208-240 VAC, 5060 Hz, Single Phase must be used.
  » 24A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 30A; 208-240 VAC, 5060 Hz, Single Phase must be used.
  » 16A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 20A; 208-240 VAC, 5060 Hz, Single Phase must be used.

• A Double Pole Circuit Breaker of the circuit rating must be used.

• The Charger is equipped with GFCI. Additional downstream GFCI is not required.

• The Charging Station must be hardwired to the circuit panel. Do not use this device with an electrical plug, extension cord, or electrical adapter.

2.2 Grounding Instructions
The charging station must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor. Use a cable with a dedicated grounding conductor connected to the equipment ground terminal block.

Adjustable Maximum Current Output

The FF L2 Home Charger station features the ability to adjust the maximum current output to support 100A, 60A, 50A, 40A, 30A, or 20A Dedicated Circuit ratings as follows:

• The Charging Station Default Factory Maximum Current Output Setting is 40A (9.6 kW) for use with a 50A Circuit Rating.
• The Circuit must be a DEDICATED CIRCUIT 208-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, Single Phase.
• Requirements govern that only 80% of the circuit rated load may be utilized, hence the higher Circuit Ratings Requirement relative to maximum Charging Station output.

3.1 Adjust Maximum Current Output

1. Ensure unit is unplugged. Secure the Charging Station on a flat surface with the front cover facing out.

2. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station. Use 5/32” (M4) hex key to remove screws.

3. With the front cover placed to the side, locate the DIP switch on the charging station circuit board. The DIP switch is a 4-position switch on the top circuit board, located on the right side of the charger. WARNING : Do not touch live electrical parts. Disconnect the power supply to the charging station before adjusting the DIP Switches.
   Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the charging station.

4. Adjust the Maximum Current Output to either 80A, 48A, 40A, 32A, 24A or 16A, using the following combination of DIP switch settings:
   Maximum Current| Switch 1| Switch 2| Switch 3| Switch 4| Diagram
   ---|---|---|---|---|---
   80A Maximum Current Output| UP| UP| UP| UP|
   48A Maximum Current Output| UP| DOWN| DOWN| UP|
   40A Maximum Current Output| UP| UP| UP| DOWN|
   32A Maximum Current Output| UP| DOWN| UP| DOWN|
   24A Maximum Current Output| UP| UP| DOWN| DOWN|
   16A Maximum Current Output| UP| DOWN| DOWN| DOWN|

5. Once the DIP Switch Setting is adjusted, reassemble the charging station. Reinstall the top cover to the charging station using the following torque force to secure the (4) socket cap screw:

Installation

4.1 Install the Charging Station

1. Separate the front and back piece of the mounting bracket by pushing down on the notch.

2. Attach the front piece of the mounting bracket to the back of the charging station using the Socket-cap screws. Ensure the top of the mounting bracket is matched with the top of the charging station.

3. Secure the back piece of the mounting bracket to the wall or other suitable structure using the Robertson-head screws. The back piece of the mounting bracket has 3 holes to support attachment to various surfaces. Use the top two holes to attach the mounting bracket to a wall stud.
   Mounting Screw Recommendations:
   • For finished walls supported by wood studs, use #14 or M6 tapping screws. (Included).
   • For masonry walls, use M6 mechanical screws. (Commercially available)
   • Use following torque force: Mount the unit so the bottom of the enclosure is at least 18” (460mm) above floor level.

4. Mount the charger on the wall by securing the front piece of the mounting bracket to the back piece of the mounting bracket.

5. Secure the charger in place by inserting either the security pin or the outdoor security lock into the mounting bracket.

Hardwire Connection

5.1 Prepare Wiring

1. Choose appropriate wire gauge based on maximum output current settings. For more information on maximum output current see 3. Adjustable Maximum Current Output on page 10. Follow all applicable electrical safety codes and standards. Use Red wire for L1, Black wire for L2, Green wire for G.

2. Clamp the ring terminal to the copper wire. For non-insulated terminals, use heat shrink tube to cover the non-insulated portion of the terminal. Choose a terminal ring with the following characteristics:
   » Rating: 3AWG – 6AWG
   » Recommended Wire Strip length: 8mm (0.32in)
   » Terminal Screw With: M5 (0.2”)

3. Choose an appropriate conduit in accordance with all applicable electrical safety codes and standards. Diameter of the enclosure opening is 1.26″ (32mm).

5.2 Hardwire Charger

1. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station. For more information on how to remove the front cover refer to Chapter 3.1
   Adjust Maximum Current Output on page 10.

2. Release terminal screws from terminal connectors using Phillips Head (PH3) screwdriver)

3. Connect conduit to the bottom of the enclosure.

4. Feed the input wires (L1, L2, G) through the conduit into the charger.

5. Connect the Ground wire to the Ground Input terminal.
   Tighten to 16 LBF.IN.

6. Feed L1 and L2 wire through the transformer.

7. Connect L1 and L2 wires to the corresponding terminal. Tighten to 16 LBF.IN.

8. Once the input wiring and conduit are connected, reassemble the charging station. Reinstall the charging station cover.

7.5 Advanced
Adaptive Mode
Adaptive Mode automatically adjusts the current to the charger if there is an unexpected drop in voltage threshold from your electric provider. It is recommended only to use Adaptive Mode if you live in an area with unstable power and frequent drops in voltage.
Contact technical support before setting it if you need clarification on whether you require Adaptive Mode

Enable the Adaptive Mode button.
Select the Adaptive Mode Type:

• Voltage
• Auto
• Power

Voltage:
Set the under-voltage threshold from 180-220. Current will decrease when the voltage drops below the threshold.
Auto:
Current will automatically decrease by 20% when the voltage drops 6%, 30% when the voltage drops 8%, and there will only be minimal current when the voltage drops 10% or more.
Power:
Current will decrease if the output power decreases. Minimal current will be available if the power drops more than 200W.

Other
Timer Type
There are two different Timer Types:

• noPWM
• VW

The Timer Type is the algorithm for a delayed charge (for example, a scheduled charge).
The type of algorithm used depends on the vehicle.
If a scheduled charge does not work as expected, try using a different Timer Type for better results.
Minimum Voltage, V
Minimal voltage is the lowest voltage at which a charging session will proceed. The charging session will not start or will interrupt if the measured voltage is below the set minimum.
It is recommended to keep the default minimum voltage unless you live in an area with unstable power and lower voltages.

Operation

9.1 Connect and Charge
Insert the charging Connector into the EV and ensure the connector is fully seated/locked in place. Once complete, the charging session will begin.

9.2 Stop Charging

1. Press down on the latch release button. Ensure latch release button is fully compressed.
2. Remove the Charger Connector from the EV
3. Return the connector to the holster.

9.3. General Product Care and Use
