5.2.1. Tools for installation
Prepare the following tools at least before installing SONEIL SPARK DC EV charging station.

5.2.2. Installation conditions
Although charging stations are electrical equipment for outdoor use, we still strongly recommend that users:

• Charging station should not be installed in dusty or flammable and explosive places.
• t is feasible to install the charging station in a shaded and ventilated place (especially the air inlet and outlet on the left and right sides of the cabinet) without dense foreign objects, which is more conducive to the low pressure of the charging station. It is recommended that the pile body should meet the operating space of not less than 1 meter;
• Install the charging station on the mixed foundation, the ground of the mixed foundation shall not be less than 200mm; the charger shall be installed vertically on the ground plane, and the pallet in any direction shall not be greater than 5°;
• The junction between the bottom of the cabinet and the foundation musk be sealed with fireproof plugging mud for interlayer, rodent-proof, waterproof and moisture-proof;
• Set drainage ditches before and after the charging station to prevent damage to the equipment of the charging station soaked by accumulated water; necessary rainproof and interlayer measures (such as membrane structure canopies} should be taken for the outdoor charging station;
• The protective ground terminal of the charging station can be reliably grounded, and the grounding resistance is less than 4.

5.3.Installation Method

• In order to ensure the long term stable operation ot the product, it is recommended to avoid installing charging stations in extreme weather as far as possible, especially low or high ambient temperature may affect the installation effect due to thermal expansion and cold contraction

• lt is suggested that the charging station should be installed in a place with good ventilation, no direct sunlight and shelter from win and rain. In order to ensure good ventilation condition, you should mount the charging station vertically and leave enough space

• The charging station is front-facing, and the door is opened on the left and right, The left side is the air inlet and the right side is the air outlet. The charging station should be installed in an open
  environment to facilitate the normal operation and maintenance of the equipment.

• Before the equipment is installed, the cement foundation should be reinforced according to the structural size provided by the manufacturer. The strength of anti-corrosion concrete for charging station foundation should not be lower than C25, the foundation should be 200mm above the ground, and the underground depth should be 200mm as shown is Fig.5-2. 00 not install directly on the ground without a foundation, otherwise there is a risk of toppling or internal water immersion. It is recommended to set up a drainage ditch nearby to prevent water accumulation.

• The screw frame must be pre-embedded when making the foundation as shown in Fig. S-3, three M12X 100mm bolts must be pre-embedded, and the height exposed to the ground is 30±3mm.
  

• In order to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the charging station by mistake, it is recommended to install an anti-collision pillars at an appropriate position in front of the charging station (the minimum distance between the anti-collision pillars and the charging station is 200mm, which does not hinder the operation of the door switch) as shown in Fig.54. The anti­ collision column is pre-buried below the ground with no less than p80 galvanized pipe, the height of the ground is not less than 800mm, the wall thickness is not less than 3mm, and the surface coating is mixed with reflective materials.

• Lay the power line, place the hole position of the shelf cabinet on the cement base, and tighten and lock it with bolts.

a) The input cable must comply with UL1277 standards and local laws and regulations;
b) Use90C copper conductors only;
c) Refer to the below table to select the appropriate power cables based on different powers.
d) The recommended torque of the screws for tightening the power cables is 4.2 N.m.
