3 Installation guidelines

3.1 General criteria for the site selection

The charging station was constructed for the indoor and outdoor area. Accordingly, it is nec-
essary to ensure the installation conditions and the protection of the device at the installation
site.

Take into account the local electrical installation regulations, fire prevention measures
and accident prevention regulations as well as emergency routes at this site.

The charging station must not be installed in potentially explosive zones (EX environ-
ment).

Mount the charging station so that it is not located in the direct flow of passersby and so
that no one can trip over connected charging cables and so that the charging cables do
not cover or cross passing pedestrian and motorized traffic.

Do not install the charging station at locations where ammonia or ammonia gas is ex-
posed (e.g. in or at stables).

The mounting surface must be sufficiently constructed in order to withstand the mechani-
cal forces.

Do not mount the charging station at locations where falling objects (e.g. hung ladders or
automobile tires) could damage the device.

According to the product standard, the charging station must be located at a height be-
tween 0.4 m and 1.5 m.
We recommend mounting the charging station (height of the socket or parking bay) at a
height of 1.2 m. Observe that national regulations can limit this height.

The device may not be exposed to direct spray water (by e.g. neighboring manual car-
wash facility, high-pressure cleaner, garden hose).

If possible, the device should be mounted protected from direct rainfall, in order to avoid
e.g. icing, damage because of hail or similar.

If possible, the charging station should be mounted protected from direct sunlight, in or-
der to avoid the reduction of the charging current or the interruption of the charging pro-
cedure due too high temperatures of the components inside the charging station.

For not weatherproof mounting (e.g. in a parking lot outside), the charging current setting
is changed to 16A, if the temperature is inadmissible exceeded. Subsequently, the charg-
ing process can also be switched off.
For information about environmental conditions, please refer to the "Technical Data"
chapter.
Observe the internationally relevant installation standards (e.g. IEC 60364-1 and
IEC 60364-5-52) and follow the applicable national installation standards and regula-
tions.
