- Risk of injury and electrocution. The charger contains electrical components that still contain a charge after being disconnected from the system. Always test with proper equipment to ensure there’s no residual current before commencing to work.
WARNING
- Risk of injuries, explosion or fire. Never install in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
- Risk of electrocution. Never install in areas prone to flooding without implementing compensatory measures.
- Risk of injury and electrocution. Installation work must not be carried out during rain or if the air humidity exceeds 95%
- Risk of injury and electrocution. The installation must be performed by a qualified electrician who has read this guide and will execute the installation in accordance with the IEC 60364 (Electrical Installations for Buildings) standard.
- Risk of damage or electrocution. A charger must always be installed on separate power circuit.
- Risk of damage or electrocution. Local conditions may affect the installation requirements. Your installation must comply with the standards and regulations of the location (country) where it is installed.
CAUTION
- Risk of injury and damage. The installer is always responsible for choosing the correct cable diameter and ensuring compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
- Risk of injury and damage. The installation and cables must be rated to match the maximum charging current of the charger input, assuming continuous load.

& -
Securely install the front cover onto the charge core.
Wall-mounting the backplate
-
Place the backplate on a clear and solid wall with a bearing capacity of at least 100 kg. Recommended height: 800-1000 mm.
-
Ensure it is level, and use a pencil to mark the positions for 4 drilling holes.
-
Drill 4 holes at the marked locations.
Recommended depth and diameter: 50 mm; 68 mm. -
Insert 4 plastic anchors into the drilled holes.
-
Mount the backplate and fasten it using four wall-mounting screws.
Electrical installation procedure
WARNING
At least an external Type A RCD is required to be installed upstream. Ensure
the installation complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
Ensure you know whether the charger needs to be installed as a single-phase or three-phase variant.
- There are three entries available for input wiring: bottom (recommended), top and rear wiring entry. For the top and rear entry, use an M25 hole saw to create the hole and install the rubber plug over the hole.
- Connect the power wires to the terminal block according to the type of equipment (single-phase or three- phase) shown in the figure.
Ethernet Cable Installation
(For CT Kit/sc Kit/EMS)
-
There are two options available for input wiring: top and rear entry. Use an M25 hole saw to create the hole and install the rubber plug over the hole. (An M25 cable gland is recommended for the top entry.)
NOTE
Recommended reserved cable lengths:- Top entry – 45 cm;
- Rear entry – 35 cm.
-
Run the Ethernet cable through the chosen hole and install the RJ45 connector.
-
Plug in RJ45 port.
-
Securely clip the charger’s body onto the backplate.
SC Kit Installation
-
The RJ45 adapter has already been pre-installed on the meter according to the sequence for a Straight-through Ethernet cable. If using a Crossover cable, follow the sequence instructions to install the RJ45 adapter before proceeding with the installation.
-
Place the meter securely on the DIN rail next to the main circuit breaker.
-
Connect the incoming terminals of the meter to the main circuit breaker.
-
Securely attach Cl to Li, either upstream or downstream of the main circuit breaker. Ensure that the arrow on the CT clamp is pointing toward the load, and firmly clamp it until you hear a’click.*
Repeat the same steps for C2 and СТ3 (if present), attaching them to 12 and 13 respectively. -
Connect the wallbox to the RJ45 adapter using the Ethernet cable.
