Installation Steps

9 Steps

Isolate Power Supply

Isolate the electrical supply before starting installation, and confirm the installation complies with local regulations (e.g. BS 7671 Section 722).

Always verify isolation using a suitable tester before touching any internal components.

Preparation

Remove the front cover and place it safely to one side.

Carefully unwrap the charging cable from the rear enclosure, and place the vehicle connector on the floor to avoid dropping it during installation.

Check all components against the box contents list before proceeding.

Positioning

Select a suitable installation location. The charger must be mounted so that the bottom of the charger is more than 0.5 m from the ground, and the top of the charger is less than 1.5 m from the ground.

Choose a location with adequate clearance and easy cable reach to ensure safe and convenient daily use.

Marking

Place the mounting template at the intended location.

Mark all fixing hole positions clearly on the wall surface.

Use a spirit level with the template to ensure perfect alignment before marking the three fixing points.

Drilling

Using an 8 mm diameter drill bit, drill fixing holes at the marked positions to a depth of 60 mm.

Ensure the holes are clean and free from dust before inserting the supplied wall plugs fully into each hole.

Mark the drill bit at 60 mm with tape to ensure the correct drilling depth every time.

Wall Mounting

Secure the rear enclosure to the wall using the supplied fixing screws.

Tighten all screws evenly to ensure the enclosure is firmly mounted and flush with the wall surface.

Ensure seals are properly seated and do not overtighten the screws to avoid cracking the housing.

Cable Gland Installation

Bring the supply cable into the unit and secure it with a suitable gland, ensuring it is fully tightened to maintain the IP rating.

Use a Type A RCD (≤30 mA, 40 A recommended); no earth rod is typically required for TN-C-S installations.

Use a cable gland suitable for the cable diameter to maintain the unit's weatherproof rating.

Electrical Connection

With the supply isolated, strip 15 mm of insulation and connect the Earth (left), Live (centre), and Neutral (right) conductors into the terminal block.

Ensure all conductors are fully inserted and seated correctly.

Ensure no bare wire is exposed outside the terminal block after making connections.

Final Assembly

Connect internal wiring harnesses. Position the front cover and secure it using the 7 supplied bolts with the provided hex key.

Record the Serial Number and PIN before completing the installation.

Check all connections, seals, and fixings before restoring power to the unit.
