Requirements - BMW i wallbox connect Installation Instructions Manual

REQUIREMENTS

General requirements for selecting a location
The Wallbox was designed for indoor and outdoor use. It is therefore necessary to make arrangements
for the installation location and protection of the device.
Take into account the locally applicable requirements for electrical installations, measures for fire
prevention, and accident prevention regulations, as well as escape routes at the location.
You must not install the Wallbox at locations:
Which are used as escape and emergency routes.
Which are located in potentially explosive zones (hazardous location).
In which the Wallbox will be exposed to ammonia or ammonia gases (e.g. in or adjacent to
stables).
In which falling objects (e.g. suspended ladders or car tires) could damage the Wallbox.
In which the Wallbox is situated directly in pedestrian traffic and where people could trip over
inserted charger cables.
In which direct water jets could strike the Wallbox (e.g. from adjacent car wash installations,
high pressure cleaners, garden hoses).
In which the installation surface is of insufficient strength to withstand the mechanical loads.
If possible, install the Wallbox protected from direct rainfall, in order to avoid weathering, icing up,
damaging by hail or similar.
If possible, install the Wallbox protected from direct sunshine, in order to prevent the reduction of
the charging current or the interruption of charging because of excessive temperatures of Wallbox
components.
Comply with the permitted environmental conditions, see section
Comply with the nationally applicable installation standards, e.g. NFPA 70 and CSA C22.1, and
comply with the nationally and regionally applicable installation standards and regulations, e.g.
Electric Code, Building Code, Residential Code, and Fire Code.
Note
For an installation exposed to the elements, e.g. on an open air parking lot, the charging current
specification is reduced to 16 A if the temperature limit descriped in the chapter
is exceeded. A further consequence may be the disconnection of the charging process.
