Required tools
Before installing Pulsar Plus
Before installing your charger, be sure to obtain any required permits and/or
approvals in accordance with applicable codes, regulations, and ordinances for
electrical installations.
Prepare the charger for installation
Before getting started, carefully lift the charger from the packaging, remove
the cardboard covering the cables, and carefully unfasten the plastic cable
ties on the EV cable bundle. Leave the cables in the box until needed to
ensure they do not get damaged during installation. Check the product label
to identify the model/ version of your charger. Make note of the serial number
(SN) and unique identification number (UID) as you will need these to complete
the registration of your charger.
Location
For the placement of your charger, consider how you will normally park your
car, the location of the vehicle’s charge port, and the length of the charging
cable (25 feet/750cm).
NOTE: You should always have enough slack in the charging cable so as not
to apply tension to the cable or the cable connections. For secure mounting,
you will want to install your charger on a vertical wall stud or on a solid
wall with appropriate mounting anchors.
Positioning
We recommend installing your charger as shown in the diagram on the left. Note
that the minimum installation height must be at least 18” (46cm), measured
from the bottom of your charger. Wallbox recommends an installation height of
50-67” (130-170cm). With NEMA cable installations, be sure to take into
consideration the 12” (30cm) length of
NEMA cable when positioning your charger in relation to the NEMA receptacle.
For hardwire installations, the wiring may use either the rear or bottom
access ports in your charger. Be sure to note that the power supply wiring and
conduit (if used) will need to be placed on the left side of your charger. 40A
