Step-by-Step Installation

• Step 1: Separate the front and back pieces of the mounting bracket.

• Step 2: Attach the front piece of the mounting bracket to the backside of the charging station using the Socket Cap Screws (Part D). The top of the mounting bracket should be aligned with the top of the charging station.

• Step 3: Attach the back piece of the mounting bracket to the wall using the Phillips Hex Head Screws (Part E).

  • IMPORTANT: Locate a stud within the wall. Use the top 2 holes of the back piece of the mounting bracket to secure it onto the stud.
  • CLEARANCE: Position the back piece of the mounting bracket so that the charging station is a minimum of 18 inches (48 centimeters) above the floor.
  • DISTANCE TO NEMA OUTLET: Position the back piece of the mounting bracket so that it so that it is equal or less than 12 inches (30cm) from the NEMA outlet.
  • MOUNTING SCREW RECOMMENDATIONS: For finished walls with wood studs, use Part E. For Masonry walls, use Parts F and H.

• Step 4:
  Secure EVSE to the wall by sliding the front piece of the mounting bracket (attached to the charging unit) into the back piece of the mounting bracket (secured to the wall) as follows:

  1. Insert the top end of the front piece into the corresponding slot on the back piece at a slight angle.
  2. Rotate the bottom end of the front piece into the back piece until the front piece is fully inserted inside the back piece cavity.

• Step 5: 

  1. Adjust the front piece of the mounting bracket (attached to the charging unit) to align the holes for the security pin with the corresponding holes of the back piece mounting bracket.
  2. Insert and slide the security pin or outdoor security lock through both sets of holes to securely fasten the EVSE in place. Slightly lift or lower the bracket as needed to slide the security pin into place.

Status, Indicator and Buzzers

Auto-Restart
If a charging session is interrupted, the status indicator lights will flash. When an error occurs, the EVSE will stop charging and self-monitor the error condition. The LED indicator will continue to flash red until the issue causing the interruption is resolved. If the issue is resolved within 60 seconds, the EVSE will automatically reset.
NOTE : If the error occurs within the first 5 seconds of charging, the EVSE will trigger a permanent fault.

Permanent Fault (How to Reset EVSE)
If a permanent fault occurs, or the EVSE does not auto-restart, perform a manual reset as follows:

• Step 1: Refer to Section 6.1 to identify the type of error by the number of red flashes.
• Step 2: Unplug the EVSE from your electric vehicle.
• Step 3: Power down the EVSE by switching the upstream circuit breaker to the ‘OFF’ position. Step 4: Wait 2 minutes.
• Step 5: Turn the upstream circuit breaker to the ‘ON’ position.
• Step 6: If the red fault indicator light no longer flashes, the EVSE is ready for charging.
• Step 7: If the red fault indicator light continues to flash after the reset, please contact Customer Service.
