SAFETY ELECTRICAL SAFETY HIGH VOLTAGE Some components of the power system operate with high voltage. Direct or indirect contact with these components through non-insulated protective material poses a fatal hazard. The installation of AC power supply equipment must comply with safety regulations, and personnel carrying out the installation of AC equipment must be qualified in high voltage AC-power operation.

SAFETY SHORT CIRCUITS It is strictly prohibited to short-circuit the power supply system to the positive and negative poles or to short the non-ground pole to ground during operation. Short circuits can cause equipment to burn and pose a personal safety hazard. In addition, the polarity of the cables and interface terminals must be strictly checked when carrying out live work.
PAC- ADVERTISING AC PILE The HYDRA ECHO wall-mounted AC charger can be configured with Type 1 J1772, Type 2 cable (tethered) or socket (untethered). The system can be installed outdoors (but for safety reasons, if the water level reaches the charger connector, it should not be used in rainy or snowy conditions).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The operating voltage and current inside the charging system are high, and the following regulations should be observed at all times to ensure personal safety: 1. Charging systems must only be installed by personnel who have been trained in, and have sufficient knowledge of, the charging system.
INSTALLATION NETWORK CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENTS The recommended way to connect to the network is to access 4G wireless communication or a Wi-Fi module integrated in the charger. A SIM card meeting local networking requirements is required. Make sure the local signal strength is strong and stable; otherwise a signal amplifier must be installed. If there is no local 3G/4G communication signal, a standard wired internet connection is available.
INSTALLATION SITE SPACE REQUIREMENTS Adequate installation space should be reserved to ensure safe and reliable operation, ventilation and maintenance of the equipment. Installation requires 550 x 720 mm of space, calculated as follows: Product size: 211mm(L) X 138mm(W) x 320(H)mm, excluding cable hangers and accessories. Front reserved spacing ≥400mm to ensure the front door open/close operation is normal and all related operations are unhindered.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TRANSFER LOADING AND UNLOADING Do not drop or hit the device. INSTALLATION Secure the base to the wall. NB: To avoid the back plate distorting when being screwed onto the wall, it is recommended that you fix each screw loosely one at a time and then tighten slowly once all screws are in place.
INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Cable type: Three-phase, five-wire (TN-C-S/TN-S) confirming the need for shielding as required by local laws or norms If there is a shield, both ends of the shield are connected to the PE secure ground. Cable diameter requirements are determined by the contractor or electrical engineer, based on power, distance and industry standards, or the following recommendations: ZR-YJV-multi-core-sheath power cable.
INSTALLATION CONNECT THE POWER CABLE Note: Turn off switches and pull out all fuses before connecting electrically CONNECT THE GROUND CABLE The charging system uses a common grounding method, using a ground cable to connect the ground copper row of the charging cabinet with the main ground row. CONNECT THE AC INPUT 1.
COMMISSIONING CHECK BEFORE COMMISSIONING Before starting commissioning work, the following conditions need to be prepared and validated: All preparation, installation, connections, etc. have been completed. The charger input power supply has been connected and the charger power-up capacity is already available. If there is no 3G/4G signal, the network needs to be connected via a wired network.
