Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read all the instructions before using the Rivian Wall. Follow the safety instructions and warnings in this guide when using the Wall. Failure to do so may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury, or death.

PRECAUTIONS

The following safety symbols are used in this document. Risk of electric shock
Risk of personal injury
Risk of damage to equipment

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not touch live electrical parts. Incorrect connections may cause electric shock.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not put fingers into the coupler.
Do not use this equipment if the flexible power cord or cable is frayed, has broken insulation, or any other signs of damage.
Do not use this equipment if the enclosure or the coupler is broken, cracked, open, or shows any other indication of damage.
Do not allow unsupervised children in the area during installation of the Wall.
Before connecting the Wall to a power supply, check that the power supply voltage and current rating corresponds with the power supply details shown on the product rating label.
Use appropriate protection when connecting to a main switchboard.
Ground the Wall through a permanent wiring system using the equipment grounding conductor.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with no more than 60 amperes maximum branch circuit over-current protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.2.
When a breaker smaller than 60 amperes is used, ensure that the wire sizes used comply with the minimum sizes prescribed by national and local electrical codes and standards.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY

Disconnect the power supply before installing or repairing the Wall. Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the Wall.
Keep any packing materials away from children. These materials are a potential source of danger, and can cause suffocation.
Only a licensed electrician should perform this installation in accordance with the provisions of national electrical codes and standards.

RISK OF DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

Do not operate this equipment in temperatures outside its operating range of -30°C to +50°C (-22°F to +122°F).
Store this equipment in a clean dry location between -40°C and +80°C (-40°F to +176°F).
Do not use extender cables to increase the length of the charging cable. l If this unit is installed outdoors, the components and fittings must be rated for outdoor installation. The outlet must be installed properly to maintain the proper NEMA rating of the enclosure.
Use anti-static gloves, wrist bands connected to ground, and isolated tools for installation and removal of the faceplate.
Avoid direct hand contact with the network board.
For storage/shipping of the front panel or network board, use a bubble wrap bag with ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection.

Installation

SELECT AN INSTALLATION LOCATION

For an indoor site, select a location that is between 18 in (45 cm) and 4 ft (1.2 m) from the ground.
For an outdoor site, select a location that is between 24 in (60 cm) and 4 ft (1.2 m) from the ground.
Select a location that ensures the charger cable can easily reach the vehicle charge port.

ATTACH THE MOUNTING PLATE TO THE WALL

NOTE

Feed conduit only from the bottom when mounting the Wall Charger at an outdoor site.
When installing to a concrete wall, select a fastener suitable for installation on concrete or stucco. Do
not use the T20 fasteners provided with the product. To attach the mounting plate to a concrete wall:

1. With the flat side of the mounting plate against the wall, and the large hole positioned in the lower-left, install a fastener in each of the four locations shown.

2. Use a level to confirm the plate is level. 3. Tighten the screws in order to affix the mounting plate to the wall. Ensure that both the screw and the wall are not damaged during installation. 12

INSTALLATION

To attach the mounting plate to a finished wall supported by wooden studs:

1. Use a stud finder to locate the stud(s).
2. With the flat side of the mounting plate against the stud, and the large hole positioned in the lower-left, install the T20 screws in the locations shown.

For a vertical stud, install a screw in each of the three center holes.
For a horizontal stud:
a. Select a location where the horizontal and vertical studs meet.
b. Place the three holes in the upper third of the mounting plate against the horizontal stud and the three
holes down the center of the mounting plate against the vertical stud.
c. Install a screw in each of the two outer holes in the upper third of the mounting plate.
d. Install a third screw in the lower center location of the mounting plate.

3. Tighten the screws in order to affix the mounting plate to the wall. Ensure that both the screw and the wall are not damaged during installation.

INSTALLATION

INSTALL THE WALL CHARGER ON THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. Hang the Wall Charger on the installed mounting plate.

2. Locate, install, and tighten the two #2 Phillips screws.

3. Torque each screw to 12 in-lb (1.36 N·m). 14

INSTALLATION

CONNECT CONDUIT AND WIRES

Consult a licensed electrician to select a wire size appropriate to the breaker size and to the maximum current set. To connect to the Wall:

Select an appropriate wire entry point based on the table and image below.
Indoor Installations Through rear (1) or through bottom (2)
Outdoor Installations Through bottom (2) only
Install conduit or wire fittings into the wire entry point. Ensure that the fittings are rated for the type and size of wire used.
Trim the ends of the wires to an appropriate length to allow for future servicing.
Strip the ends of the conductors 7/16 in.
Fully insert the wire into the corresponding terminal. Ensure that the conductors (L1, Ground, L2) are installed in the correct locations.
Do not overtighten the terminals.
Torque each terminal to 10.6 in-lb (1.2 N·m). 7. After energizing the charger, use a multimeter to test the voltages on the input terminal.

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

INSTALL THE FACEPLATE

Use anti-static gloves, wrist bands connected to ground, and isolated tools for installation and removal of the faceplate.
Avoid direct hand contact with the network board.

1. Position the faceplate near the front of the Wall.
2. Reconnect the cable from the Wall to the network board on the interior of the faceplate.
3. Slide the faceplate down onto the Wall.
4. Install the two Security T20 Torx screws.
