Product location considerations
The following points must be considered when selecting the
installation location for the TurboConnect Charge Station and
the external holster:
– It is recommended to mount the Charge Station at
least 35.4 inches (900 mm) above floor level. If you are
installing more than one Charge Station, then you must
minimally leave 7.9 inches (200 mm) in between. The
mounting surface must be solid and strong.
– The mounting surface must be completely flat (about
0.04 inch (max. 1 mm) difference between the individual
mounting points) and with a vertical orientation.
– The mounting surface must not contain any flammable
substances.
– The cable length used from the charge station to the
vehicle shall be as short as possible. The charging cable
may never be under tension strain in any situation (see
Fig. 27).
– There shall be no (obvious) risk of driving over the
charging cable.
– There shall be no additional electrical wires and
connections from the infrastructure.
– The charge station may not be an obstacle to pavements
and escape routes.
– An installation location protected against direct sunlight,
rain, or other environmental impact is required for
optimum and fault-free operation.
– The usual parked position of the vehicle, taking account
of the charging plug's position on it.
– Consideration of local building- and fire protection
regulations.
– If the charge station is to be connected, then make sure
to have fault-free Wi-Fi reception.
– Whenever possible, mount the Charge Station protected
from direct sunlight or rainfall.

Criteria for the electrical connection
The TurboConnect Charge Station type plate indicates the
maximum charging current that you can configure. The type
plate is located on the front cover of the unit.
The power availability at the service connection determines the
maximum permitted charging current. A qualified electrician
must make the necessary settings in the configuration. They
must also verify the prerequisites for connection.
The installation must comply with the nationally applicable
regulations of authorities and power supply companies, such
Webasto TurboConnect
as the registration of the installation of a charge station. All
protective devices specified must be designed in such a way that
every power supply pole of the TurboConnect Charge Station
is disconnected if a fault occurs. The selection and installation
of the protective device must comply with national installation
regulations and standards.
NOTE
Do not install a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
NOTE
Install a dedicated circuit with sufficient service capability
for the chosen power setting of the Charge Station.
Additionally, upgrade your panel with a dedicated circuit
breaker. Follow your regional regulations and electric
code.
NOTE
The current value of the selected protective device must
not fall below the current value specified on the type
plate for the charge station or the value set using the
DIP switch. See chapter 7.4.1, "DIP switch settings" on
page 11.
The installation requirements for the charge station must be
checked by a qualified electrician before starting connection
works. Comply with the nationally applicable regulations of
the authorities, utilities, and power supply companies, such as
installation registration of a charge station.
NOTE
In some cases, regions, and states current limits may
apply. The local connection requirements must be
observed.
All protective devices specified below must be designed such
that the charge station is disconnected from the grid in the case
of a fault. You must meet national installation regulations and
standards when selecting the protective device.
7.4.1 DIP switch settings
The maximum charging current is factory set and is indicated
on the type plate of the charge station. The maximum charging
current can be adapted to the value of the circuit breaker fitted
during installation using DIP switches.
Danger
High voltages
The danger of fatal electric shock.
Ensure safe isolation from the power supply.
The DIP switches are located in the Charge Station installation
area (see Fig. 28 – view 1). The Charge Station has six switches
numbered from 1-6 (see Fig. 10 – interface A).
Each switch configures a specific setting.
The dip-switch settings are listed in the table below.
CAUTION
Indicated minimum circuit breaker ratings in Table 1,
"DIP switches 1–4" on page 11 are recommendations
by Webasto. Follow codes and regulations for circuit
breaker dimensioning and current settings.

7.4.2 Power supply isolation device
The charge station does not have its own power ON/OFF
switch. The protective devices installed in the power supply
system are therefore also used to disconnect the Charge Station.
7.4.3 Dimensioning the lead's cross-section
A qualified electrician must determine the cross section /
wire gauge size of the input conductor in accordance with
