Installation PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Portable model This Electrical Vehicle Charging Station can be configured as a portable-type charger. Its design allow it to be installed in a non-permanent way on a wall by using the included wall mount bracket. Figure 2 illustrates the mounting of the unit to a wall.
Page 8
Installation Because the input power cable is quite short, the input power receptacle must be located correctly vs the position of the charging unit station. Figure 3 illustrates where the unit should be mounted for the input power cable to line up properly with the input power receptacle.

Installation Permanent installation model This Electrical Vehicle Charging Station can be configured for a permanent installation type of charger. The physical installation is nearly identical as the portable model (see Section [Installation/Physical Installation/Portable Model]), but require the unit to be locked on his wall mount bracket by installing a padlock in the hole as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: Installation of padlock for anti-theft protection Install...
Installation ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION This equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of this type of equipment and the hazards involved. Failure to observe this precaution could result in death or severe injury. This Electrical Vehicle Charging Station requires a dedicated 40 A circuit breaker (it may require a lower value depending on the output current adjustment) in the main electrical panel.
Smart-Home or Smart-Pro Module A EVduty EVC30 charging station equipped with a Smart-Home or Smart-Pro Module require an initial configuration and offer extended features. This section describe the configuration procedure and the extended features. INITIAL CONFIGURATION Only a EVduty EVC30 charging station equipped with a Smart-Home/Pro Module requires an initial configuration. This configuration is necessary for the charging station to connect to the local Wi-Fi network and then be controlled by the EVduty mobile application.

Output current adjustment The EVDuty EVC30 Series charging station offers the possibility to adjust the maximum output current. This adjustment may be necessary in the case where the charging station must be powered by a circuit which is protected by a circuit breaker of a value less than 40 A. Table 3 is used to determine the value of the maximum output current based on the value of the circuit breaker that protects the charging station.
