Evaluate cellular connection The Terra DC Wallbox includes a 4G modem equipped with a GSM SIM card. When selecting the site, it is ex- pected that a cellular availability test is performed. Recommended signal strength is >-85dbm, (-30dBm to - 85dBM is the optimum signal strength), this should be measured with a cellular network signal meter, handheld mobile phones are not always reliable measuring devices.

- Bottom side 23.6” (15.75” from the Terra DC Wallbox in order to avoid obstacles for the electrical connec- tion). - Left and right side 12”, in order to operate without obstacles on the lateral side of the Terra DC Wallbox. 3.4.2 Ventilation and airflow of the Terra DC Wallbox The Terra DC Wallbox has an air inlet on the bottom side and an outlet on the top side.
Cable reach The Terra DC Wallbox charging cables are available in lengths of 3.5 or 7 meters. The charging cables exit the charger enclosure on both the right and left sides. The cables and the connectors mounted on the cables are different depending on the charging standard and vary in flexibility.
TER R A DC WAL LB OX Different alignment possibilities The charging inlets on a vehicle can be located at different positions depending on the manufacturer. The most common vehicles have inlets located either on the front or in the back on either the left or right side. This makes some charger placements with respect to the parking space more favorable than others.
About construction The construction phase includes all work required to prepare the location and ensure it is ready for the placement and connection of the Terra DC Wallbox charger. The construction phase can start when: • The wall preparation work is done.
Mounting on a pedestal The Terra DC Wallbox can also be mounted on a pedestal. In order to achieve a safe installation, the mini- mum set of requirements are included in Appendix C – Pedestal requirements). For the ABB pedestal solu- tion, contact your local ABB sales representative.
The preferred method of communication is the wireless 4G modem integrated into the charger. A customer SIM card is not required. A subscription for the SIM card is provided by ABB for select countries. If there is no wireless signal available, a standard wired internet connection is required. This connection must meet the following requirements: Ethernet, RJ45.
Receiving the Wallbox The product is delivered by a transport company to a warehouse where it will be handed over. Transporting the Terra DC Wallbox to its final location (last mile service) is not included standard in the order. NOTICE The delivery truck unloads the pallet carrying the Terra DC Wallbox.
