RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE
Each wall box is shipped inside a dedicated cardboard box with impact
indicators applied on the outside. At the time the wall box is received the
integrity of such indicators must be checked to make sure the unit is properly
handled during transportation and did not suffer unnecessary impacts. Should
any impact indicator be damaged or missing, the following quality system
procedure must be followed:
- Do not refuse the shipment.
- Make a note on the delivery receipt and inspect the product for damage.
- If damage is found, leave the item in its original packaging and request immediate inspection from the carrier within the applicable period.
- In case the damage is confirmed, SCAME central customer service must be involved by writing to either Ordini.italia@Scame.com or Export@scame.com for shipments within or outside of Italy, respectively.
- Depending on the specific model, the wall box weighs between 75 and 100 kg. Therefore, if manually lifted, an adequate number of people must handle it according to national regulations.
- Before the installation the wall box must be kept in its original box, still properly closed, and stored in an environment that guarantees the following conditions: Storage temperature: -30°C to +60°C / Humidity: 5% to 95%
- To prevent the cardboard box from becoming damp and consequent potential damage to the unit, the box itself must be sheltered from the rain and placed on a dry floor.
- Should the unit be stored for a prolonged time, the state of the packaging must be checked regularly. To prevent the deterioration of non-energized electronic components, the wall box must not be stored for more than once a year without being powered up.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Refer to all the applicable national regulations and guidelines concerning the
mechanical installation of the unit.
INSTALLATION LAYOUT
To allow for proper forced ventilation BE-D wall box needs to be mounted on
walls that are unobstructed for at least 500 mm on both the right and the left
side of the unit. Moreover, the unit must be mounted high enough on the wall
to guarantee at least 900 mm between the ground and the low end of the frame.
The unit should not be installed in direct sunlight. Failing to do so would
result in premature aging and unnecessary power derating.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION OF THE ELECTRICAL CABINET
- Remove the lid from the cardboard box.
- Open the plastic bag.
- Take the mounting bracket out of the bag. See image 1.
- Place the bracket on a vertical, clean, flat surface and align it horizontally. The positioning must be done in such a way as to point the arrow upwards and keep the “UP” mark facing away from the wall. Image 1 shows the minimal distances from both the floor and lateral objects that need to be taken into account while positioning the bracket.
- By holding the bracket in place, mark on the wall the position of the four mounting holes.
- Drill the four holes in the wall and insert an appropriate dowel into each one of them. Dowels and matching mounting screws need to be chosen by taking into account both the type of wall designated for the installation as well as the approximate weight of the wall box of 100 kg. The maximum screw size the bracket can accept is M10.
- Reposition the mounting bracket on the wall, align it with the four dowels previously inserted into the holes, and insert and tighten the four matching screws.

- Gently pull the metal frame and let it ride until it completely slides off, then set it to the side. See image 4. Failing to remove the metal frame at this stage could result in cosmetic damage due to rubbing between the frame itself and the chain or similar means used during lifting operations.
The top side of the wall box features two M8 female treaded inserts. One DIN580 male eyebolt can be screwed onto each one of them to help during the wall box lifting operation. Alternatively, the wall box needs to be manually handled.
- Stand in front of the wall box and position yourself so that the touchscreen display is facing you. Move to the right-hand side of the cabinet and unscrew quantity eight M4x18 screws. By doing so the air-cooling plastic cover and the related metal grid become detached exposing the electronic power module underneath.
- Remove quantity three M5 bolts from the power module panel; by using the two dedicated handles the power module, which weighs approximately 25 kg, can be pulled out from the electrical cabinet. See images number 7 and 8.
- Lift the electrical cabinet by using either a crane with a chain secured to the dedicated eyebolts or manually. Position the cabinet close to the mounting plate previously attached to the wall. Maneuver it in such a way as to slide the hooks present on its backside into the matching notches of the mounting plate, then gently lower it. See image number 9.
Open the cabinet door to access the interior.
Secure the cabinet to the mounting plate by tightening quantity two M8x25
safety screws with a torque not exceeding 5 Nm. See image 10. Installing such
safety screws is mandatory to both prevent the wall box from accidentally
sliding off the mounting bracket, should any accidental impact occur, and
guaranteed the IP54 rating is met.
- Slide the power module back into its housing and tighten the three dedicated M5 bolts. Reposition the metal grid and the air-cooling plastic cover, then tighten the eight M4x18 screws previously removed.
- Once the installation has been completed the metal frame can be positioned back onto the cabinet. The
- The “Scame” logo must be positioned on the top right-hand side as shown in image 11.
- Tighten the three screws on the top side of the frame and the two at the bottom.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION OF CONNECTOR HOLDERS
The following instruction applies to holder(s) shipped together with the charging station as well as purchased at a later time (part number 208.AP62 for CCS-2 and 208.AP63 for CHAdeMO, respectively).
- Carefully take the holder out of the packaging provided; care must be paid to avoid cosmetic damage to the frame paint.
- Place the metal frame on a vertical, clean, flat surface and align it horizontally. By holding it in place, mark on the wall the position of the mounting holes. See image 12.
- To ensure proper ventilation the holder(s) should be positioned within the dashed grey area as shown in image 13.
- Drill the four holes in the wall and insert an appropriate dowel into each one of them.
