INSTALLATION PLANNING AND SERVICE WIRING:

• WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the charging station before installing or adjusting the charging station. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the charging station.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20-100 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection requirements per the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 7- and the Canadian Electrical Safety Code, Part 1, C22.1. If you are unsure if your circuit meets these requirements consult a licensed contractor, licensed electrician, or trained installation expert.

ELECTRICAL SOURCE REQUIREMENTS

• Before mounting, locate an available electrical source that can support the following
• Input Requirements for the Charging Station Per local Electrical Safety Code requirements:
  • 80A Maximum Output Setting (Default Factory Setting): DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 100A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
  • 48A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 60A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
  • 40A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 50A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
  • 32A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 40A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
  • 24A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 30A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
  • 16A Maximum Output Setting: DEDICATED CIRCUIT rated for 20A; 208VAC Single Phase or 240VAC Split Phase, 50-60 Hz,
• A Double Pole Circuit Breaker of the circuit rating must be used.
• The Charging Station must be hardwired to the circuit panel. Do not use this device with an electrical plug, extension cord, or electrical adapter.

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 by all local codes and ordinances.

1. An insulated grounding conductor that is identical in size, insulation material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded branch-circuit supply conductors, except that it is green with or without one or more yellow stripes, shall be installed as part of the branch circuit that supplies the device or system.
2. The grounding conductor described in item 1 shall be grounded to earth at the service equipment or, when supplied by a separately derived system, at the supply transformer.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can 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.

GFCI
The Charger is equipped with GFCI. Additional downstream GFCI is not required.

ADJUSTABLE MAXIMUM CURRENT OUTPUT
The Grizzl-E Ultimate EVSE features the ability to adjust the maximum current output to support 100A, 60A, 50A, 40A, 30A, or 20A Dedicated Circuit ratings as follows:

Requirements govern that only 80% of the circuit-rated load may be utilized.
ADJUST MAXIMUM CURRENT OUTPUT

1. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station. Use a 5/32” (M4) hex key to remove screws.
   • CAUTION: The LED pipe is attached to the front cover. When the front cover is removed, place it on a flat surface facing down to avoid damage to the LED pipe.
2. Place the front cover to the side. Locate the DIP switch on the charging station circuit board. The DIP switch is a 4-position switch on the top circuit board, located on the right side of the charger.
   • WARNING: Do not touch live electrical parts. Disconnect the power supply to the charging station before adjusting the DIP Switches. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the charging station.
3. Adjust the Maximum Current Output to either 80A, 48A, 40A, 32A, 24A or 16A, using the following combination of DIP switch settings:
4. Once the DIP Switch Setting is adjusted, reassemble the charging station. Reinstall the top cover to the charging station using the following torque force to secure the (4) socket cap screw:

INSTALLATION

INSTALL THE CHARGING STATION
Before mounting, determine the location of an acceptable mounting support. All charging station products must be anchored into a mounting support such as a 2” x 4” stud or a solid concrete wall. DO NOT mount this unit directly to a stucco/drywall.

1. Separate the front and back pieces of the mounting bracket by pushing down on the notch.
2. Attach the front piece of the mounting bracket to the back of the charging station using the Socket-cap screws. Ensure the top of the mounting bracket is matched with the top of the charging station.
3. Secure the back piece of the mounting bracket to the wall or other suitable structure using the Robertson-head screws.
   • The back piece of the mounting bracket has 3 holes to support attachment to various surfaces.
   • Use the top two holes to attach the mounting bracket to a wall stud.
   • Mounting Screw Recommendations:
   • For finished walls supported by wood studs, use #14 or M6 tapping screws. (Included).
   • For masonry walls, use M6 mechanical screws. (Commercially available)
   • Use the following torque force:
   • 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 0.45m (18”) and 1.2 m (48”) from grade.
4. Mount the charger on the wall by securing the front piece of the mounting bracket to the back piece of the mounting bracket.
5. Secure the charger in place by inserting either the security pin or the outdoor security lock into the mounting bracket. The EVSE shall be installed with the power supply cord managed so that it cannot contact the floor once the EVSE is installed.

HARDWIRE CONNECTION

WARNING: Wiring connection must be done by a licensed contractor, licensed electrician, or trained installation expert Follow all applicable electrical codes and safety standards. Ensure all parts and tools meet regulations. Failure to wire the station correctly may lead to the risk of electrocution, personal injury, or fire.

PREPARE WIRING

1. Choose an appropriate wire gauge based on maximum output current settings. Use a heat shrink tube to cover the non-insulated portion of the terminal.
   Maximum Current Output (As set by DIP Switches)| Wire Gauge (AWG)
   ---|---
   80A| 4 AWG
   48A| 4-6 AWG
   40A| 6-8 AWG
   32-16A| 8 AWG
   24A| 8 AWG
   16A| 8 AWG
   • See Chapter 5. Adjustable Maximum Current Output for more information on maximum output current.
   • Follow all applicable electrical safety codes and standards. Use Red wire for L1, Black wire for L2, and Green wire for G.
2. Choose an appropriate conduit by all applicable electrical safety codes and standards. The diameter of the enclosure opening is 1.26″ (32mm).

HARDWIRE CHARGER

1. Remove the front cover of the charging station by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station. Use a 5/32” (M4) hex key to remove screws.
2. Release the screw from the Terminal Lugs using a flat screwdriver.
3. Release the screws from the Terminal Connectors using Phillips Head (PH3) screwdriver.
4. Connect the conduit to the bottom of the enclosure.
5. Connect the Terminal Lugs to the Terminal Connectors. Connect Terminal Lugs to L1, L2, and G. Torque Terminal Lugs to 2.2 Nm (20 lbf-in).
6. Feed the input wires (L1, L2, G) through the conduit into the charger.
7. Feed the L1 and L2 wire through the transformer.
8. Place the heat shrink tube over the terminal lugs.
9. Insert G, L1, and L2 wires into the corresponding Terminal Lug.
10. Secure the wires to the Terminal Lug using the screw.
11. Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing around the wire and terminal lug.
12. Once the input wiring and conduit are connected, reassemble the charging station. Reinstall the charging station cover. Torque Cover to 1.6 Nm (14 lbf-in).

HOLSTER
The EasyEvPlug Holster is used to protect the charging plug and manage the cable when the EVSE is not in use. The Plug Holster can be installed at any location near the charging station.
To install the EasyEvPlug Holster:

1. Hold the back of the holster against the mounting surface. Fasten Phillips’s head screws through back holes. Use anchors if attaching directly to drywall.
2. Insert the charging connector into the holster.
3. Wrap cable on top of the holster.
   • Note: Remove the rubber cap from the charging gun before inserting it into the holster. Failure to do so may result in damage to the cap or holster.
