• The residential models have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The commercial models have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
  • Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• Personal Protection Equipment: Use of proper personal protection equipment, including, but not limited to, eye protection, shock protection, gloves, and other appropriate protection, is recommended when installing or servicing any electrical equipment.
• Charging Circuit Interrupting Device (CCID): The Siemens VersiCharge line of EV Charging Systems includes a CCID. The CCID is required by UL Standard 2231 and is designed to detect ground faults within the system and disconnect power from the downstream conductors when a fault is detected.

DANGER Explosion hazard. This equipment has arcing or sparking parts that should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment should be installed at least 18 inches above the floor or ground level. Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.

For Professional Electricians

Outlet Installation Instructions (Skip if Using an Existing Outlet)

• DANGER Hazardous voltage. Will cause death, serious injury, or substantial property damage. Turn off power-supplying equipment before working inside the unit.
• DANGER! Any time the interior wiring is exposed while there is power to the unit, there is danger of ~ hazardous voltage and serious injury.
• NOTE: Any electrical wiring required to install this VersiCharge shall conform to applicable codes and standards (ANSI/ NFPA 70). A qualified electrician is recommended to perform these tasks.
• NOTE: Please consider your planned installation location for the mounting bracket when choosing the location to which you will run the wire.
• NOTE: Electrical outlets must be installed in accordance with appropriate NEC® and AHJ requirements. Please note that the outlet orientation required for the proper installation of the VersiCharge product is per the illustration below.

1. A qualified electrician should install the outlet with the ground facing down (only the 40 A charger is available with a plug; the 48 A charger MUST be hardwired). See Section 2.2, Figure 1, for outlet positioning.

Figure 6. Outlet ground facing down

WARNING! When installed outdoors, cord-and-plug installations require a NEMA outdoor-rated receptacle and enclosure due to the risk of moisture. Installing outdoors without properly rated outdoor receptacles and enclosures will void the VersiCharge warranty.

Removing the Cord-and-Plug Assembly for Hardwiring (Only for the Plug- Supplied 40 A Units)
Plug removal is only for the plug-supplied 40 A units; 48 A units must be hardwired. See steps 6-13 below for hardwiring instructions.

• NOTE: The rating of the circuit breaker that will be required is based on the ampere rating of the EVSE; 40 A requires a 50 A breaker, and 48A requires a 60 A breaker.
