    6. Installation 6.1 Typical Installation Master disconnect switch (must be visible from the charging station) Electrical equipment cabinet (metering, protection and distribution) Power cable (three-phase 480 Y/277 Volts + NEUTRAL + GROUND) Parking space for the electric vehicle SmartDC station Protective bollard Concrete slab When a step-down or step-up transformer is required to match the available supply voltage to the 480 volt rating required by the charger, the use of a Y auto-transformer, a Δ/Y transformer, or a Y/Y transformer is acceptable. WARNING: The use of “Open Delta” auto-transformers or transformers with an “Open Delta” primary is prohibited. The product offers mounting configurations that support compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Validate how to design the site with local authorities.
  • Page 11: Site Preparation

    6.2 Site Preparation Follow the steps below to prepare the site: 1. The station must be installed on a concrete slab. 2. The surface of the concrete slab must be large enough to allow for the installation of the station and the concrete bollards, while leaving enough space for user traffic. The figure below shows the ideal dimensions and distances to be respected. 3. The soil under the slab must be properly drained and stabilized (according to specific needs) so that it is not affected by frost. 4. An electrical conduit that complies with local regulations and is of appropriate diameter (depending on the wire size) should run the electrical cable under the perimeter of the station, preferably in the front left area under the station perimeter. 5. The anchors and conduit must be positioned to allow for the mounting of the base of the charging station. NOTE: Refer to the site assessment requirements and the anchor supplier’s recommendations for anchor selection. Front Avant ISO View Top View Front View...
  • Page 12 NOTE: The wiring conduit must be sealed to prevent moisture penetration. IMPORTANT: If there is a wall behind the charging station, a minimum spacing of 24 inches (609.6 mm) must be maintained between the charging station and the wall. IMPORTANT: For indoor installation, make sure that the sticker with the following warning is visible to the user: ‘’WARNING: THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED ONLY FOR CHARGING VEHICLES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE VENTILATION WHILE CHARGING’’ OPTION 1 : BOLLARDS ON THE CONCRETE BASE OPTION 2 : BOLLARDS BESIDE THE CONCRETE BASE...

    6.4 Installation of the Base on the Concrete Slab Align the SmartDC base with the recessed anchors and tighten the bolts to secure the base to the ground. 6.5 Installation of the Station on the Base 1. Remove the access plate to allow the power cable to pass through.
  • Page 15 2. Lift and handle the station with 2 web slings measuring a minimum of 5.15 m (17’) and having a minimum vertical working load limit of 1,406 kg (3,100 lbs). For example 3. Align the U-profiles (3) of the charging station with the holes in the base.
  • Page 16: Connecting The Charging Station

    4. Place the station on the base and tighten the 6 bolts (3 at the front and 3 at the back of the U-shaped channels). 6.6 Connecting the Charging Station 1. Punch a hole in the access plate to match the conductor size and pull the cables through the opening (Cable gland not included). 2. Connect the conductors: a. Connect the three-phase conductors (L1, L2, L3) and the neutral conductor (N) into the terminal with a torque of 56.5 N-m (500 lb-in). b. Connect the grounding conductor into the grounding terminal with a torque of 5.6 N-m (50 lb-in). c. Make sure all conductors are properly labeled (A, B, C, N, G) and that the sequence of the three-phase wires is followed. NOTE Connectors are compatible with copper and aluminum wires.

  • Page 20: Putting The Station Into Service

    7. Putting the Station into Service 7.1 Before Commissioning 1. The electrician must ensure that the electrical installation complies with the applicable electrical code, and that the station voltage is within the operating voltage range. 2. Make sure that each of the circuit breakers supplying the converters (50 kW: 2 breakers; 100 kW: 4 breakers) and the control power transformer breaker are in the closed (ON) position. 3. Close and lock the charging station enclosure door. 7.2 Commissioning 1. After the station is powered up, messages will appear on the display screen at the front of the station, confirming that it is now operational. 2. The station will then attempt to communicate with the FLO servers. 3. Once the station and gateway are powered up, please contact FLO technical support to complete the configuration: 1 855 543 8356.

    8. Care and Maintenance of the Charging Station THIS CHARGING STATION REQUIRES REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION AND TO MAINTAIN THE VALIDITY OF THE WARRANTY. PLEASE READ THE WARRANTY, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE AT ALL TIMES. MAINTENANCE MUST BE PERFORMED BY FLO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. The maintenance consists of: 1. Cleaning or replacing cooling system filters. NOTE It is important to maintain a good air flow inside the charging station to cool some components. 2. Inspection of critical charging station components, such as connector cable assemblies and power conversion modules. We recommend that you perform maintenance on the charging station according to the following timeframes and the event that occurs first: › At least once a year › After 300 hours of use In addition, more frequent maintenance is recommended when the charging station is installed in a dusty environment.
