Safety information

Important safety instructions
This document contains important instructions and warnings that must be followed when installing and maintaining the EV Charger.

Warning

Read this entire mandatory document before installing or using the EV charger.
This device should be supervised when used around children.
The BCP series EV Charger must be grounded through a permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor.
Do not install or use the EV Charger near flammable, explosive, harsh, or combustible materials, chemicals, or vapors.
Use the EV Charger only within the specified operating parameters.
Never spray water or any other liquid directly at the wall mounted EV Charger. Never spray any liquid onto the charger handle or submerge the charger handle in liquid. Store the charger handle above the ground to prevent unnecessary exposure to contamination or moisture.
Stop using and do not use the EV Charger if it is defective, appears cracked, frayed, broken, or otherwise damaged, or fails to operate, or continue operation.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, tamper with, or modify the EV Charger. The EV Charger is not user serviceable. Contact us for any repairs or modification.
Transporting the EV Charger, handle with care. Do not subject it to strong force or impact or pull, twist, tangle, drag, or step on the EV Charger, to prevent damage to it or any components.
Do not touch the EV Charger’s end terminals with sharp metallic objects, such as wire, tools, or needles.
Do not forcefully fold or apply pressure to any part of the EV Charger or damage it with sharp objects.
Do not insert foreign objects into any part of the EV Charger.
Use of the EV Charger may affect or impair the operation of any medical or implantable electronic devices, such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Check with your electronic device manufacturer concerning the effects that charging may have on such electronic devices before using the EV Charger.

Cautions
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charging.
Incorrect installation and testing of the EV Charger could potentially damage either the vehicle’s Battery and/or the EV Charger itself. Any resulting damage is excluded from New Vehicle Limited Warranty and the EV Charger Limited Warranty.
Do not operate the EV Charger in temperatures outside its operating range of -25℃ to +55℃.
That adaptors or conversion adapters are not allowed to be used.
That cord extension sets are not allowed to be used.

Notes

• Ensure that the EV Charger’s charging cable is positioned so it will not be stepped on, driven over, tripped on, or subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use cleaning solvents to clean any of the EV Charger’s components. The outside of the EV Charger, the charging cable, and the connector end of the charging cable should be periodically wiped with a clean dry cloth to remove accumulation of dirt and dust.
• Be careful not to damage the circuit board when removing the power entry knock-out.

Prepare for installation

Minimum installation requirements
Installation of the wall charger requires that you:

• Calculate the existing electrical load to determine the maximum operating current.
• Calculate the distance to ensure minimal voltage drop.
• Obtain any necessary permits from the local authority that has jurisdiction and confirm that the follow-up inspection has been scheduled by an electrician after the installation is complete.
• Use only copper conductors.
• Use copper wire that meets the specifications of local wiring regulations. The selected cable must be capable of withstanding continuous loads of up to 40A at all times. The selected circuit protection device must incorporate an appropriate wall-mounted residual current device (RCD) and corresponding electrical load over current protection.

Position

• Ensure that the parking position is within range of the charging cable.
• There is enough clearance for the charging cable to wrap around and the charging handle can be comfortably positioned on the side of base.
• If installed in an enclosed garage, choose to install on the side of the EV charger slot.
• For outdoor installations, waterproof protection is recommended but not mandatory.
• Install in a well-ventilated space. Avoid installation in enclosed boxes or close to high power appliances.

Height

• Maximum height (indoor and outdoor): 60 inches (1.5 m)
• Recommended height: 47 in (~1.2 m)
• Minimum outdoor height: 24 in (0.6 m)
• Minimum interior height: 18 inches (0.45 m)

Maximize Wi-Fi signal reception
(for models with Wi-Fi function)

• For achieving optimal functionality, the Wall Mounted Connector should be connected to the local Wi-Fi network. To maximize signal reception, avoid installing wall-mounted connectors against physical obstacles such as concrete, masonry, metal poles, etc. that may prevent Wi-Fi signal reception.
• Note: If the mobile device can connect to local Wi-Fi in a specific location, the wall-mounted connector can also be connected.

Power supply

• 230V single-phase power supply

• For single-phase EV charger, a single-phase wire (L), Neutral and earth wire must be connected. The phase voltage between the Line and Neutral wires should be 230V.

• For 3-phase EV charger, connect the single phase wire (L1), the neutral wire and the earth wire do not connect the other phase wires (L2 or L3). The phase voltage between the line and neutral wires should be 230V.

• 400V three-phase power supply with neutral line

• If three phases are applied, all three phases (L1, L2 and L3) and the phase to the neutral line should be 230V.

Installation considerations

• Three methods are available to install the EV charger.The location of the conduit determines which installation method to follow. If the conduit runs along the floor or low on the wall, use the bottom entry configuration. If the conduit comes from inside the wall, use the rear entry configuration. If the available conduit comes from the ceiling, use the top entry installation.
  Note: Throughout the manual, “conduit” is used as the standard term for the protective tubing that houses the service wiring. In regions where conduit is not used (Europe for example), a cable comprised of service wiring enclosed in a protective jacket may be substituted for conduit if allowed by local regulations.

• Here are some additional guidelines

• Conduit openings are sized for (32 mm) conduit.

• Conduit needs to be metal and flame retardant.

• Use an appropriate circuit breaker.

• The EV charger doesn’t come with the battery for safety shipping, we advise the users to buy the CR1220 battery or same size battery if need the history record function. Without the battery, the function or the settings need to be reset after charger restart.

Warning

Normally, the earth wire should be properly connected, otherwise the EV charger will not work.
For situations where there is no earth connection, in order to enable the EV Charger to operate, it can be set via APP to turn off the earth detection and it will work, but it will reduce to the leakage protection safety level.
This BCP series AC EV charger must be grounded via a permanent electrical system or equipment grounding Conductor.
Before installing an AC EV charger, please confirm the type of grid connection available. If you are unsure of the type of connection available on the service panel, please consult an electrician.
Note: Please consult your local electrician or refer to your local code in order to choose the proper wire for the AC EV charger current.
