Common parts

4-Way

Column Adapter plate

• Attach the foundation of the column to the adapter plate with 4 socket head screws. Recommended torque is 30-40 Nm.
• INFO! It can be mounted in 45° increments to get the correct direction.

Assembly instructions

• 4-Way Bottom frame
  Slide the bottom frame over the column and fasten it to the lower threaded hole with 1 rounded head screw on each side (2 screws total).

• 4-Way Top frame
  Attach the top frame to the top two threads using 2 rounded head screws on each side of the column (4 screws in total).

• 4-Way Top plate
  Cover the top frame with the top plate and fix it with 4 rounded head screws.
  NOTICE! Make sure that all cables are pulled through the column holes (2 on each side) before attaching the chargers backplates.
  

• 4-Way First 2 backplates
  Attach the first 2 backplates to the sides perpendicular to the column openings with 4 rounded head screws each (8 screws total).
  NOTICE! Pull the cable through the hole in the backplates before attaching them.

• 4-Way Closing
  If you are installing 4 chargers total, attach the last 2 backplates to the column with 4 rounded head screws each (8 screws total).
  If you are installing less than 4 chargers, cover the remaining sides with the Multi-Way cover. Before attaching the cover, the shielding tab must be flipped up in order to mount the cover plate, with 4 rounded head screws.
  NOTICE! Before installing the Chargeberries in the backplates, they must all be programmed – please check the installation guide that came with the Charging Robots.
  

Power Rail

Before connecting

The Power Rail is a connection box that allows multiple charging posts to be connected in series. Connection via Power Rail requires the circuit to be RCD protected.
Please pay attention to the earthing system of the charging post, which is described carefully in the following pages.

• WARNING! The Power Rail is a product to be installed by an authorized electrician, and a declaration of conformity must always be provided upon completion by your installer.
• WARNING! Turn off the power before beginning the wiring. Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.

1. Ground connection plate
   Before installing the Power Rail make sure to apply the ground connection plate. The plate is essential for connecting the post to the protective earth (PE).

2. Make sure the top PE terminal screw is open, then wedge the end of the plate into the terminal from the back. The ground connection plate should lie flat to the plastic housing.

3. Insert the serrated washer on the rod inside the column. It should be placed between the metal column and the Power Rail.

4. Slide the Power Rail with the ground connection plate inside the column and latch the bottom of the rail into the catch.

5. Fasten the grounding nut with the spring washer on the rod.
   NOTICE! In order to complete the PE connection, the grounding nut has to be fastened and the top PE terminal screw has to be tightened (regardless of whether there is a wire in it or not).
   Important! Do not forget this step!

6. Terminals
   The ground connection plate connects the entire leftmost lane to the metal column, so it is very important that this lane is only used for PE connections.
   We recommend using the two lower terminal sets for the main power cables.
   One set of terminals is used for power in and the other is used for power out, if you want to connect another charging post on the same cable. Wire size up to 25mm² ALU and CU. We recommend using the two upper terminal sets for the charger cables.
   For a single charger, only one set of terminals is used, for two chargers, both sets of terminals are used, and for three or four chargers, two wires have to share a terminal. Wire size up to 6mm².

7. Wiring

8. Strip the individual wires by 12 mm. If the cable has flexible conductors, it is recommended to use ferrules on stranded wires. Use correct tools to press them.

9. Tighten the screw terminal with a torque of 5 Nm.
   NOTICE! Dielectric grease must be added when using ALU conductors.
   NOTICE! When connecting multiple backplates in parallel, each screw terminal serves as a coupling point for adjacent backplates. All backplates must be connected with the same phase sequence. External junction boxes or flat cables can be used if it is more convenient.
   NOTICE! It’s recommended to follow the existing colour codes used in the installation. Depending on national standards, the colours of the cables can vary from the illustrations. The illustrations in this manual follow the IEC 60446 standard.
   NOTICE! Before turning on the power, make sure the wires are properly connected and tightened. Test this by pulling on each wire.

10. Side panel
    After connecting all wires to the Power Rail, it is time to mount the side panel with the 4 rounded head screws.

Practical details Warranty

The device is free from material defects and is in accordance with laws and regulations for consumer protection in the country where the product is purchased or where the consumer lives. All correctly installed Easee hardware is covered by our 3-year limited warranty.
Some countries may have extended warranties.

Foundation
This charging post usually needs a mechanical foundation to be installed. The adapter plate is compatible with most c/c 160 mm foundations.
In some situations, it is also possible to use the smaller base of the column directly without the adapter plate, in this case using an 80 x 80 center-to- center footprint.

Screws
For all the flat and rounded head screws we recommend 7-9 Nm of torque.
