Figure 18: Vertical transport with pallet truck or forklift In addition to the transport with a pallet truck or a forklift, the JUICE ULTRA can be moved using the two (double slot version housing) or four (quadruple slot version housing) crane eyelets which are located on top of the packaging.
Page 31 of 72 3.3. Unpacking It is recommended to transport the JUICE ULTRA to its final destination in its original packaging and unpack it there. The following illustrations show the sequence how to unpack the JUICE ULTRA: Unpacking the JUICE ULTRA...
The outer packaging is made of 100% recyclable wood, the inner packaging is made of plastic and must be disposed separately. *Attention Before loosening the mounting screws between the JUICE ULTRA and the pallet, the JUICE ULTRA must be protected against overturning. This protection must be maintained until final mounting to the foundation.
4. JUICE ULTRA installation This chapter describes the mechanical and the electrical installation of the JUICE ULTRA. It is recommended to install the JUICE ULTRA according the following steps and related chapter in the following sections: Site configuration (see chapter 4.1.3) JUICE ULTRA base positioning (see chapter 4.1.4)
4.1.1. Relevant components for JUICE ULTRA installation The mounting of the JUICE ULTRA must be performed on a solid ground, this can be a concrete foundation or a concrete floor. When dimensioning the foundation, it’s recommended to perform a static load capacity analysis according to relevant norms.
4.1.2. Cable reach In its default configuration, the JUICE ULTRA comes with a cable length of 350cm. The following figure shows the operating radius (3m) of the cables for the two DC outlets of the JUICE ULTRA.
4 JUICE ULTRA installation 4.1.3. Site configuration When installing the JUICE ULTRA, it must be ensured to maintain a minimum distance from possible objects around the JUICE ULTRA, to allow adequate airflow, and space for possible service or maintenance operations.
The following figure shows the recommended minimum distances which should be kept free during installation on site: Figure 23: Recommended distances for site configuration The figure above shows the JUICE ULTRA housing for the double slot version, the distances for the both housings can be found in the following table. Type...
JUICE ULTRA base positioning Once the position of the JUICE ULTRA is defined on the installation site according to 4.1.3 the position of the JUICE ULTRA base and the cable entries from the foundation have to be defined: The JUICE ULTRA base is to be arranged eccentrically to the charging station. The outer dimensions related to the center of the base plate are shown in Figure 24 for the double slot version.
516 mm (± 3 mm) Table 12: Distances between base plate and outer dimensions of charging station The JUICE ULTRA base includes cable entry plate for the cable glands which must be defended at the order.
