    2.3. Dimensions The dimensions below apply to both Master and Auxiliary configurations of the SmartTWO- BSR.

  • Page 8: Site Layout

    3. Site Layout 3.1. Pedestal Positioning For each installation site, one master curbside pedestal should be installed, followed by auxiliary curbside pedestals (optional). The master curbside pedestal is equipped with a cellular LTE communication gateway that will link with up to 18 auxiliary unit charging stations (up to 9 pedestals) in close vicinity to the centralized network management server.

  • Page 9: Concrete Base

    Concrete Base – For Master Pedestals with an Integrated Electrical Distribution Panel When an electrical panel is installed on the back of the SmartTWO-BSR pedestal, it requires a separate conduit for the power input coming from the grid and going to the panel. The pedestal has a provision at the center of its base to let the power input pass from the concrete base up to the electrical panel.
  • Page 10 NOTE: The power input position for the integrated electrical distribution cabinet might vary. Validate that the cable can be routed correctly from the pedestal opening dedicated to the grid cabling conduit, to the position of the power input in the electrical distribution panel.

  • Page 11: Concrete Base - For Pedestals Without An Integrated Electrical Distribution Panel

    3.2.2. Concrete Base – For Pedestals without an Integrated Electrical Distribution Panel This configuration is suitable for Auxiliary pedestals, and for Master pedestals without an integrated distribution panel. These configurations do not require grid power cables to be connected; therefore, the concrete base does not need a separate conduit to pass the grid cables.

  • Page 13: Electrical Configuration

    4.1. Power Input: Deported Electrical Distribution Panel These two configurations imply that the electricity is supplied by a deported electrical distribution panel that is not mounted on a Master SmartTWO-BSR pedestal. One conduit per pedestal is required to bring the cables to their respective pedestals.

  • Page 14: 240V Split Phase Configuration

    4.1.1. 240V Split Phase Configuration To feed each pedestal, two 240 V 40 A circuits (without neutral) are required to power the 208/240 V 30 A charging stations. In this case, only one conduit bringing all the cables in the center of the mast is required to feed the two charging stations installed on the pedestal.

  • Page 15: 208 V 3-Phase Supplied By A Deported Electrical Distribution Panel

    4.1.2. 208 V 3-Phase Supplied by a Deported Electrical Distribution Panel To feed each pedestal, two x 40 A phase to phase circuits (without neutral) are required to power the 208/240 V 30 A charging stations. We highly recommend evenly distributing the connections among the 3 phases in order to keep the load as balanced as possible.

    The Master SmartTWO-BSR pedestal is designed with provisions to install an electrical distribution panel (Not provided by FLO) on its back. The latter can be installed directly at the back of the Master SmartTWO-BSR pedestal using the dedicated threaded anchor points, or on a fabricated rack designed to fit on the Master SmartTWO-BSR pedestal.

  • Page 19: Anchor Points

    5.2.1. Anchor Points The fabricated rack should have the following anchor point characteristic:  Four anchor points with ¼-20 threaded inserts RECOMMENDATION: We recommend designing horizontal slotted holes to match the anchor positioning tolerances (5.8"± 1/8" or 147.32 mm ± 3.175 mm).
