INSTALLATION

LOCATING THE EV CHARGER
Install the EV Charger in a location that allows the charging cable to reach the vehicle charge port without putting strain on the cable. The tethered cable length is 5m, therefore a recommended distance would be no greater than 4m from the car charging point.

CHOOSING A HEIGHT TO FIX THE CHARGER TO THE WALL
The recommended height is 1.2 metres from the ground to the centre of the cable socket.

STEP 1: WALL BRACKET FIXING
Once you have established the correct height, use the wall bracket to mark five positions on the wall with a suitable tool.
Drill five holes and fix the bracket to the wall with the screws provided, or screws suitable for the application.

STEP 2: MOUNTING EV CHARGER TO WALL BRACKET
Mount the EV charger to the wall bracket by hooking it to the wall bracket from the top, then pushing it down.

Once the charger is securely supported by the wall bracket, use the screw provided, or a screw suitable for the application, to secure the bottom of the charger to the wall.

STEP 3: MAINS CABLE CONNECTION
The EV charger is supplied with a mains M25 nylon cable gland.

Note: Ensure that the gland is suitable for the mains cable used, otherwise you may need to change the gland. Insert the cable through right hand entry cable gland and tighten the glanding nut.
Strip back the cable and terminate cables into right hand terminal blocks. Use the cable clamp on the inside to help secure the cable.

Note : Care must be taken when terminating cables. Ensure conductors are terminated into their corresponding terminals before turning on the power.

STEP 4: INSTALL THE CT CLAMP
Install the CT Clamp at the house input cable, on the same phase as the EV charger, and connect the CT clamp wires to the “Ext current det” connector.

Note: The software will always correct the CT clamp readings. You don’t need to worry about the direction of the clamp or which way you connect the wires in the “Ext current det” connector.

STEP 5: SETUP POWER OUTPUT TO VEHICLE (default 32A / 7.4kW)
Power output can be restricted by adjusting the dip switch settings on power board. See table below for output values and dip switch settings.

Note : This must be set or adjusted by an authorised installer only! As the EV Charger has a load balancing feature, you can leave the power output to its default setting 32A / 7.4kW and set the maximum house input power in the commissioning page. The EV Charger will monitor the house power consumption, and will use the maximum power available at any given time.

STEP 6: SETUP HOUSE INPUT FUSE (default 100A / Single phase)
Select the value of the house fuse using the dip switch on the power board, to allow the EV Charger to adjust the load balancing power output.

Note : This must be set or adjusted by an authorised installer only!

Note : If the house fuse value is different from the options available through the dip switch, you can use the commissioning page to set the correct fuse value in the “House Amp Limit” field.

STEP 7: INTERNET CONNECTION (Ethernet Cable / Wi-Fi already fitted)
Whenever possible, use the Ethernet cable connection to allow internet access, as this is the easiest solution to configure. If it is not possible to connect an Ethernet cable, you may use the Wi-Fi connection supplied with the EV Charger.
