Choose the best location

Carefully consider these factors to determine
the best location for the High Power
Connector:
• Choose an indoor, wall mounted location,
typically in an enclosed garage, that
allows unobstructed access to the High
Power Connector control panel. Consider
the High Power Connector's dimensions.
• The High Power Connector must be
located in a clean and dry environment
away from flammable vapors, liquids and
gases or other combustible materials.
• The High Power Connector should be
mounted so that its charging cable easily
reaches the charging port on the vehicle
without straining the connections at
either end, and without obstructing entry
and exit routes. Typically, the High Power
Connector is mounted towards the front
of the vehicle or on the driver's side.
• The High Power Connector should be
mounted at a height so that the
connector used to connect the charge
cable to the vehicle is stored between 18"
and 48" from the ground. Also provide a
minimum clearance of 12" between the
bottom of the unit and any obstructions.
• An appropriate electrical supply must be
available at the location. The High Power
Connector accepts the electrical conduit
in either the top surface or the left side of
the housing.
• Do not expose the High Power Connector
to extreme temperatures outside of its
o
operating range of -22 F to 122
o
to +50 C).

Obtain building permits

Depending on local regulations, installing the
High Power Connector may require a building
permit. Consult your local authorities to
determine if this is the case in your area. If so,
follow their process to obtain the appropriate
building permits before you begin. When the
installation is complete, an inspection by your
local building inspector may be required.
