This guide provides an overview for the installation of the Terra DC Wallbox. The Terra DC Wallbox charging station is an easy to install DC fast charger for electric vehicles. Fast chargers are electrical installations with high electric currents. Therefore, the installation must be planned carefully, and must be done by certified personnel only (according to local standards).

DC Wallbox commissioning. ABB is not responsible for scheduling delays and additional costs from not properly planning the installation. If ABB is contracted to perform the DC Wallbox commissioning, ABB observes the right to charge additional money for more than one site visit required for the commissioning due to an initial, improper installation of the DC Wallbox.
Charging 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 dif- ferent depending on the charging standard and vary in flexibility.
TE R R A D C WA LL B OX 3.3.2 DC Wallbox position with respect to parking space 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.
- Charger size (H x W x D): 30.3 x 23 x 11.8 in - Bottom side 23.6” (15.75” from the Terra DC Wallbox in order to avoid obstacles for the electrical connection). - Left and right side 300mm/12”, in order to operate without obstacles on the lateral side of the Terra DC Wall- box.
TE R R A D C WA LL B OX 3.3.4 Ventilation and airflow required for the DC Wallbox The Terra DC Wallbox has an air inlet on the bottom side and an outlet on the top side. NOTICE Free air flow If necessary, take precautions to prevent snow or objects from blocking the inlets and outlets.

Mounting on a pedestal The Terra DC Wallbox can also be mounted on a pedestal. In order to achieve a safe installation, the minimum set of requirements are included in Appendix C – Pedestal requirements). For the ABB pedestal solution, contact your local ABB sales representative.
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.
TE R R A D C WA LL B OX Unpacking the charging and mounting preparations 5.2.1 Unpacking The packaging of the Terra DC Wallbox can be removed without the use of tools. Follow local regulations on dis- posal of packaging material. Bottom Cover Grill 1.
Bottom grid cover Move cabinet to position 5.3.1 Options A properly rated lifting devices should be used to move the Terra DC Wallbox from the delivery truck to the in- stallation location. DANGER Hazardous voltage Ensure the product’s power supply group main switch is set to the OFF position.
5.4.1 Mounting the Terra DC Wallbox NOTICE A minimum of two people are required to lift a Terra DC Wallbox during installation. In general, local regulations should be followed as the maximum weight to be lifted may vary. 1. Carefully lower the Terra DC Wallbox onto its location.

AFTER the completing wiring terminations, take the bottom cover grill and put it on the lower side of the unit and fix it by tightening two screws as shown in the following picture. Please note the 3-phase and 1- phase versions have a slightly different bottom grill assembly 10.
TE R R A D C WA LL B OX 12. Place the central cover on the unit and secure it in place by tightening the two screws located on the left and right side of the cover. Center the bottom pins, rotate the cover, and tighten the 2 lateral screws. 5.4.2 Install cable gland(s) or connect conduit to the unit.

TE R R A D C WA LL B OX 1. Slide the cable inside the grommets, ensure at least 10mm of cable external jacket inside the box (see notes at the end of this section, before sliding the cable inside the grommet. Allow at least 24 inches of wire from the conduit entry point to allow enough wire to route thru the internal grommet/cable glands and wrap around to the terminal blocks.

Slide the cable cover and tighten the two screws. If a wired internet connection is not used, please ensure the cable entry hole is closed, to assure the IP54 grade of the cabinet, and prevent insects and small animals to enter the cabinet.
TE R R A D C WA LL B OX 1. Cut the PE wire of the power cable to the correct length (longer than the other phases) to reach the PE con- nector. NOTICE For safety, it is recommended that the PE wire is longer than the phase wires.

Commissioning Commissioning preparation Commissioning is the last phase necessary to get the Terra DC Wallbox operational. The purpose is to check the safe functioning of the charger for its operational purpose. An ABB certified service engineer or an ABB-trained engineer is required to perform the commissioning. During this commissioning, the safety and the functioning of the charger will be tested.
Using the connected network verify charging session details. Cleaning of the cabinet The Terra DC Wallbox Charger is powder coated. This coating must be kept in good condition. Clean the Terra DC Wallbox Charger three times a year in the following way: •...
