not damage or strain cables or cable connections that run between the chassis
and the front panel.
-
Remove the QubEV from the packaging.
-
Remove and retain the fixings that secure the front panel to the charger body.
-
Carefully ease the front panel away from the charger body to gain access to the interior.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
The front panel is connected to the charger body by electrical cables. Take care not to damage, strain, or disconnect the cables. At the end of the procedure, make sure all connections are secure before refitting the panel. -
Visually inspect the QubEV and internal components.
Components that have come away from the DIN rail may be refitted to the rail if there is no damage to the component or its securing mechanism.
IMPORTANT: Items damaged in transit must first be reported to the courier and then to the supplier.
• Where possible, photographic evidence of package and/or unit damage should be provided.
• Incorrect or damaged units must NOT be installed. Contact your supplier to discuss rectification. -
Remove the fixing template from the packaging.

Use the fixing template to mark the mounting position.
• Offer the QubEV fixing template up onto a flat and smooth surface.
• Make sure it is orientated correctly and is level.
• Mark the 4 fixing holes onto the surface. -
Drill 4 x marked fixing holes and insert the wall plugs.
-
Make note of the position of the electrical connection terminations within the charger body.
-
Cut a neat hole in the charger body to allow entry of the power cable.
• Ideally, the cable should enter the charger body from below.
• A suitable cable gland must be used to maintain the IP integrity of the unit. -
Make sure all debris is removed from the charger body.
-
Secure the charger body to the mounting location with the appropriate fixings.
NOTE: All electrical work must be performed in accordance with the current Electrical Wiring Regulations.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage – Sensitive Equipment
If you will be performing insulation resistance tests on the power supply cables, it is advised to be done BEFORE connecting the cable to the charger. The high voltages applied during the test may damage sensitive components if tested after the cable is connected. -
Route the power supply cable to the appropriate length to be able to connect to the terminals.
-
Terminate the supply cable in the appropriate manner and connect to the pedestal as per the appropriate schematic.
-
Make sure ALL cable connections are secure and have not become loose or damaged in transit or during installation.

Commissioning
Set the Charger Power
By default, the QubEV charger is set to 32 Amps. If a lower power is required,
refer to the steps below:
- Carefully remove the cover of the Charge Control Unit and locate the Amp Setting ‘DIP’ switches. Refer to Figure 5 Charge Control Unit.
- Set the switches to the appropriate position for the required power rating:
WARNING: Electrical Power
Switches must only be set by a qualified electrical installer. Incorrect
setting may lead to equipment damage and/or personal injury. The current
rating must not exceed the supply rating.
Carefully squeeze the top and bottom faces of the Charge Control Unit (as
indicated by the green arrows) and ease the top cover away.
With the cover removed, the DIP switches can be seen toward the bottom edge of
the unit.
Make sure to refit the cover when setting is complete.
The setting may be recorded for future reference on the next page:
