INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

For a permanently connected product : MODEL SEV1600HW ONLY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the product.

For a grounded, cord connected product MODELS SEV1600P1450 AND SEV1600P650 ONLY GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with
a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor is able to result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION : The Schumacher Level 2 EV Wall Charger must be installed by a licensed electrician. Any changes to the wall charger’s electrical settings (page 13) must be made by a licensed electrician.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

This device shall be mounted at a sufficient height from grade such that the height of the storage means for the coupling device is located between 600 mm (24 inches) and 1.2 m (4 feet) from grade.
Before starting the installation, choose a general mounting location for the unit. The unit may be installed indoors or outdoors. Ensure that the unit is within easy reach of where the hardwired circuit will be installed by a licensed electrician or where there is an existing NEMA 14-50 or NEMA 6-50 outlet. The cord or wiring leading into the charging station should have some slack. The mounting location should also allow the output cable with EV connector to have some slack while in use.
Using a stud finder, locate a stud within the general mounting location identified in the previous step. Use a pencil to mark the location of the stud.
Next, use a level and a pencil to mark a line to designate the top of the charging station when installation is complete. This is usually about 50 inches above the finished floor. Use tape to attach the mounting template so that the top edge of the template lines up with the pencil line you just made.

ASSEMBLING THE CHARGING STATION

Lay the charging station on a flat surface and remove the lower front cover. Unscrew the single M4 screw at the bottom of the unit. Set the screw aside for reassembly. Then, slide the cover down and lift to disengage the tabs at the top of the front cover. Set aside the lower front cover for reassembly.
Remove the wiring access panel located underneath the lower front cover by unscrewing three M4 screws from the front of the charging station. Set the screws aside for reassembly. Lift off the wiring access panel and set aside for reassembly.
Turn over the charging station before installing the cable cradle. Align the cable cradle’s screw holes with the screw holes on the back of the charging station. Use the two 4 mm x 16 mm screws to attach the cable cradle.
Note : If desired, the cable cradle may be mounted to the wall separate from the unit. Be sure to mount the cable cradle securely to a stud or use heavy-duty drywall anchors.

HARDWIRING THE POWER SUPPLY PERMANENTLY TO

THE CHARGING STATION (MODEL SEV1600HW ONLY)
Turn off the power to circuit before installation. Do not restore power until installation is complete. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

When installing a hardwired circuit, Schumacher Electric recommends that the AC input uses a conduit into the rear opening of the charging station.
Turn off the power to the circuit before mounting the charging station.
Feed the conduit and wires through the back of the charging station, removing the back head plug. Feed the cables through the back of the charging station until the silver conductors are no longer visible. Note : If installing the charging station outdoors and using the back opening to route the conduit, apply liquid sealant or a gasket and nut around the rear opening to prevent water ingress.
Inside the wiring access panel, there are two terminal blocks. Securely insert wires into the left-hand terminal block as indicated by the wiring diagram below.
- L1 – Red Wire
- L2 – Black Wire
- PE – Green Wire

ATTACHING THE CORD AND PLUG TO THE CHARGING STATION (MODELS SEV1600P1450 AND SEV1600P650 ONLY)

Ensure that you have an existing NEMA outlet that matches the model you are installing. Alternatively, a licensed electrician may install a NEMA outlet that corresponds with the specifications of your model. Model SEV1600P650 has a NEMA 6-50 plug and model SEV1600P1450 has a NEMA 14-50 plug. In addition, Schumacher Electric recommends that a licensed electrician confirms that any new or existing outlet complies with all local electrical codes and has a designated circuit breaker compatible with the specifications and requirements of the EV wall charger. See the sections Final Steps and Specifications for more information. for more information.
Route the cord through the left-hand opening on the bottom of the charging station.
Inside the wiring access panel, there are two terminal blocks. Securely insert wires into the left-hand terminal block as indicated by the wiring diagram below.
Feed the cord up into the charging station and secure by screwing the outer plastic nut to the threaded ring. The threaded ring must be securely tightened.

CONNECTING THE OUTPUT CABLE TO THE CHARGING STATION

The output cable should have five wires visible at the end opposite the EV connector. Insert the wires through the right-hand opening on the bottom of the charging station.
Insert the wires into the appropriate connectors in the right terminal block as illustrated in the wiring diagram below.
Insert the two-pin plug (orange and blue wires) into the connector to the left of the right terminal block.
Feed the output cable up into the charging station and secure by screwing the outer plastic nut to the threaded ring. The threaded ring must be securely tightened.

MOUNTING THE CHARGING STATION TO THE WALL

Using a drill fitted with a 5.5 mm or 7/32 inch drill bit, drill two pilot holes into the stud where indicated by the mounting template.
Drive the 5.5 mm x 50 mm lag screw without a rubber washer into the top pilot hole, leaving the head of the screw 6-7 mm above the wall surface.
Lift the charging station and then use the notch on the back of the unit to hang the unit from the screw affixed to the stud.
Align the charging station’s lower mounting hole with the lower pilot 4. Align the charging station’s lower mounting hole with the lower pilot

FINAL STEPS

For models SEV1600HW, SEV1600P1450, and SEV1600P650, the following steps must be completed by a licensed electrician.

Before starting, the licensed electrician should consult all applicable codes for breaker and wire sizing requirements. Set the amperage of the unit according to the connected dedicated breaker associated with the hardwired connection or NEMA outlet. Using the table above, determine the voltage and amperage of the installation. Then, set the unit’s DIP switch following the diagram below that corresponds with the dedicated breaker’s voltage and amperage and the model’s requirements.
Reattach the wiring access panel you set aside previously. Position the wiring access panel on the charging station and secure it with three of the M4 screws you removed earlier. Next, reattach the lower front cover. Insert the tabs into the slots on the front of the chagrin station and slide the cover up and in place. Secure the lower front cover at the bottom of the charging station with the last M4 screw.
Coil the output cable into the cable cradle and insert the EV connector into the dock on either side of the charging station.
Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker if your charging station was hardwired (SEV1600HW). For models SEV1600P1450 and SEV1600P650, plug the unit into the corresponding live NEMA outlet. If correctly installed, the Power LED will illuminate a steady green.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Check to make sure the wall charger’s Power LED is illuminated a steady, solid green color.
Remove charging gun from the wall charger’s dock.
Connect the charging gun to your vehicle’s charging port.
Note : The charging gun is fitted with a universal SAE-J1772 connector that will fit most electric vehicles. Tesla vehicles will require an adapter.
