The paper packaging is recyclable.
1.2 Preparing the EV Charger
When transporting or moving the charging station, the following must be
considered to ensure product safety:
The EV Charger is an electrical device, it should be handled with care,
avoiding any forceful impacts or vibrations. Do not move the charging station
by dragging
the vehicle connector or charging cable.
-
In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the product, it is recommended to avoid installing charging stations in extreme weather where possible, especially in ow or high ambient temperatures as this may affect the installtion due to thermal expansion and cold contraction.
-
The electrical power supply cable must be prepared.
-
Space requirement: when the charging station is fixed on the wall, the minimum space requirements are shown in Fig 1.2.
-
It is suggested that the charging station should be installed in a place with good ventilation, no direct sunlight, and shelter from wind and rain.
-
In order to ensure good ventilation conditions, you should mount the charging station vertically and leave enough space.
Prepare the following tools before installing the AC EV charging station:
| Sr No. | Tools Name | Schematic Picture | Main Users |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Multimeter | Check the electrical connection and measure the voltage | |
| 2 | Electric Impact | ||
| Drilln | Drill fixing holes in the wall | ||
| 3 | Wrench | Fastening bolts | |
| 4 | Diagonal plier | Cut the cable | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5 | Wire stripper | Strip cables | |
| 6 | Crimping tool | Press cable terminal | |
| 7 | Crosshead screwdriver | Fasten screws |
1.3 Power Supply
The EV Charger is available for installation in any TN power supply system.
a) TN-S power supply system wiring mode
b) TN-C power supply system wiring mode
In TN-C, for local earth rods where there is no connection to install, a
series of circuits are set inside the EV Charger to protect safety. Even if a
leakage fault occurs when PEN is disconnected or the three-phase voltage is
unbalanced, the EV Charger can quickly interrupt charging and protect the
personal safety of users.
c) TN-C power supply system wiring mode
The connection method is the same as that of the TN-S power supply system.
1.3.1 Connecting the Communications Cable
A two-core shielded communication cable must be wired between the charger and
the EM115 meter, in order for the charger to charge the vehicle from excess
solar.
Additionally, the charger can be wired directly to the GivEnergy inverter into
the meter communication port so that the charger can be controlled by the
inverter (coming soon).
1.4 Installation
Install the charging station on the wall following the steps below:
Step 1: Installing the Charging Station Mount
Drill 4 holes with a diameter of 10mm and depth of at least 50mm on the wall
with a spacing of 143mm x 152mm, and secure the accessories-D to the wall with
expansion screws.
Step 2: Wiring the Charging Station
