IMPORTANT:
Read carefully before use. Keep it for future reference.

Introduction

Easy Base
The Easee Base is a modular charging post for mounting up to four Easee Charging Robots.
With Ease Base, it is possible to choose between four different configurations. A one-way setup where only one charger is mounted, a 2-way setup with two chargers, a 3-way setup with three chargers, and finally a 4-way setup where there is a charger on all sides of the post.
With four configurations in one design, they share many common parts. Only a few parts are specific to each type of layout.

Power Rail

Before connecting

The Power Rail is a connection box that allows multiple charging ports to be connected in series.
Please pay attention to the earthing system of the charging port, which is described carefully in the following pages.
WARNING! The Power Rail is a product to be installed by an authorized electrician, and a declaration of conformity must always be provided upon completion by your installer.
WARNING! Turn off the power before beginning the wiring. Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.

Ground connection plate

Before installing the Power Rail make sure to apply for the ground connection plate. The plate is essential for connecting the post to the protective earth (PE).

  1. Make sure the top PE terminal screw is open, then wedge the end of the plate into the terminal from the back. The ground connection plate should lie flat on the plastic housing.easee BPR1W001 Base Charging Pedestal PR 1-Way - fig18

  2. Insert the serrated washer on the rod inside the column. It should be placed between the metal column and the Power Rail.

  3. Slide the Power Rail with the ground connection plate inside the column and latch the bottom of the rail into the catch.
    easee BPR1W001 Base Charging Pedestal PR 1-Way - fig19

  4. Fasten the grounding nut with the spring washer on the rod.
    NOTICE! In order to complete the PE connection, the grounding nut has to be fastened and the top PE terminal screw has to be tightened (regardless of whether there is a wire in it or not).
    Important! Do not forget this step!
    easee BPR1W001 Base Charging Pedestal PR 1-Way - fig20

Terminals

The ground connection plate connects the entire leftmost lane to the metal column, so it is very important that this lane is only used for PE connections.
We recommend using the two lower terminal sets for the main power cables.
One set of terminals is used for power in and the other is used for power out if you want to connect another charging post on the same cable. Wire size up to 25mm².

easee BPR1W001 Base Charging Pedestal PR 1-Way - fig21

We recommend using the two upper terminal sets for the charger cables.
For a single charger, only one set of terminals is used, for two chargers, both sets of terminals are used, and for three or four chargers, two wires have to share a terminal. Wire size up to 6mm².

Power Rail
Wiring
The Power Rail has 5 lanes. This allows support for TN, IT, and TT three and one-phase electrical grids.

  1. Strip the cable cores by 12 mm. If the cable has flexible conductors, it is recommended to use cable end sleeves on all wires. Use the correct tools to press them.
  2. Tighten the screws with a torque of 5 Nm.
    NOTICE! Terminations should be visually and mechanically inspected before mounting the side panel.

TN 3 phase

**TN 1 phase

**

**IT/TT 3 phase

**

**IT/TT 1 phase

**

TN network
TN is the most common grid type in Europe. It uses five conductors to provide both 230 V and 400 V. This makes it very efficient and thus the preferred grid type for charging electric vehicles.
IT/TT network
IT and TT grid systems are mostly used in Norway and Albania but occur in Belgium, France, and Spain too.
These systems have no neutral connector and use 4 conductors only. They can thus only provide 230 V.
NOTICE! It’s recommended to follow the existing color codes used in the installation. Depending on national standards, the colors of the cables can vary from the illustrations. The illustrations in this manual follow the IEC 60446 standard.
NOTICE! Make sure the conductors are properly connected before turning on the power for the Charging Robot(s).

4 Side panel
After connecting all wires to the Power Rail, it is time to mount the side panel with the 4 rounded head screws.

Practical details

Warranty
The device is free from material defects and is in accordance with laws and regulations for consumer protection in the country where the product is purchased or where the consumer lives. All correctly installed Easee hardware is covered by our 3 years limited warranty.
Foundation
This charging post usually needs a mechanical foundation to be installed. The adapter plate is compatible with most c/c 160 mm foundations. We recommend foundations similar to Ørstafundament.
In some situations, it is also possible to use the smaller base of the column directly without the adapter plate, in this case using an 80 x 80 center-to- center footprint.
Screws
For all the flat and rounded head screws we recommend 7-9 Nm of torque.
