Mounting

5.1 Requirements for mounting
WARNING

• Requirements for mounting location:
• Danger to life due to fire or explosion.
• Despite careful construction, if installed incorrectly or mounted in unsuitable locations, electrical devices can cause fires. This can result in death or serious injury.
• Do not mount the EV charger in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.
• Do not mount the charger in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The EV charger must not be directly exposed to sunlight.
The surface for mounting of the EV charger must be made of a non-flammable material.
EV charger can be mounted on a pole for our door use.
The location must offer sufficient air ventilation.
The installation surface area requires at least 237 mm x 343 mm.

A solid, flat support surface, e.g., concrete or masonry, must be available for mounting.

A minimum clearance of 20 cm from other equipment or objects must be kept.

The installation height is between 140 and 160 cm (from the floor to the bottom of the EV charger housing).

The installation location must be freely accessible.

The mounting location must be selected so that the EV Charger and the vehicle can be connected with the charging cable without exerting undue stress on the charging cable.
5.2 Mounting of the EV Charger

1. Using the mounting plate (B) as a template to determine the position of the holes, drill four holes at a depth 50mm with an electric drill using anφ8mm drill bit. Insert the expansion plugs in the drilled holes gently with a hammer. Attach the mounting plate（B）on the wall and tighten the screws.
2. Use an appropriately sized screwdriver to fix mounting plate（A） to the EV charger.
3. Carefully hang the EV charger to the mounting plate.
4. Insert and tighten the anti-theft screw to protect the charger from theft.

Electrical connection

6.1 Power supply connection
DANGER
The charging current must never be set higher than the line fuse itself.
If the charger is to be operated with an output of 7 kW and 22 kW, it must be protected with an 40 A over current protection device (such as fuse), and 11kW with a 20A over current protection device (such as fuse). Ensure the current carrying capacity of the AC cable into the EV charger is greater than the current rating of the over current protection device.
Ensure the installation site has a connection to the utility grid. If unsure, please contact your electrical contractor.
Connect the AC cables as per the image below, ensure the cables are connected to the corresponding terminals that are labeled L, N and PE. An isolating device, between the charger and the AC power supply, such as a fuse, circuit breaker, residual current device should also be installed if mandated by the local electrical regulations.
The product provide disconnection means and a residual current monitoring for detecting 6 mA direct residual current. In order to guarantee safety in accordance with IEC 61851-1 that RCD Type A and appropriate equipment that ensures the disconnection of the supply in case of DC fault current above 6 mA. The additional overcurrent protection and approved RCD Type A need to be provided in the installation as well.
