INSTALLATION GUIDE(REFERENCE)
IMPORTANT
Please follow all applicable codes and regulations and obtain permits to complete electrical work as required.
Location
- Mount the unit on a vertical surface that will support its weight (e.g., a finished wall). The maximum weight of this product is approx 10.5kg .
- Keep this equipment installed in allowing wire bending tolerance within the scope of the position.
- Place the charger in a position that is not easily damaged.
Positioning
1. A 50A or higher current fuse is recommended for installation circuits
of the E40 model.
A 70A or higher current fuse is recommended for installation circuits of
the E50 model.
IMPORTANT
In Canada, a NEMA plug-in installation is only allowed with a 50 amp circuit.
Higher amperage connections are also available for this product. See all applicable codes for circuit breaker and wire sizing requirements. Field terminals are rated to 105°C and accept up to 6 AWG (16 mm²) wire.
Circuit Rating| Max Load| Estimated Range per Hour| Plug-
In| Hardwire
---|---|---|---|---
80 A| 50 A| 45miles/72km| no| yes
70 A| 50 A| 45miles/72km| no| yes
60 A| 48 A| 44miles/70km| no| yes

-
For NEMA plug-in installations, determine the type of plug purchased, NEMA 14-50 plug.
-
Ensure that the electrical panel supports 240V dedicated circuits and new dedicated non-GFCI bipolar disconnects in accordance with local regulations.
-
The recommended installation height is between 1100mm(43inch) and 1500mm(59inch). For NEMA plug-in installations, the NEMA should be at least 460mm (18inch) off the ground adjacent to the charger mounting location, but make sure both are positioned within the adjustable range of the wire. Within the adjustable range of the cord.
CAUTION
- The suitability of the use of flexible cord in accordance with CE code, part I, rule 4-012, is to be determined by the local inspection authority having jurisdiction.
- The input power cable length is 300mm (12 inches) (According to the National Electric Vehicle Charger Electrical Code).
Current Line Description
Ground Requirements
- The charger must be connected to the earthing metal permanent wiring system. Equipment grounding conductor must be run with circuit conductor, and connect to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the charger.
- The grounding conductor shall be grounded to earth at the service equipment or, when supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply transformer.
- Ensure that a grounding conductor that complies with all applicable codes is properly grounded to earth at the service equipment, when supplied by a separate system, at the supply transformer.
- Neutral is not used to power the charger but must be properly connected to ground, at the panel transformer, to provide necessary voltage reference relative to ground.
DANGER: RISK OF SHOCK.
Disconnect the 240V power vac. Do not turn on the power until you are sure the installation is complete. Failure to following this instruction may result in electric shock or electrocution.
Hardwired Installation
For this version installation,please follow all applicable codes and
regulations and obtain permits to complete electrical work as required.
