PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND SITE PREPARATION Door and Keys Instructions Introduction Supernova has three doors: one on the left side, one in the front, and the last one on the right side. The doors must always be opened sequentially from left to right. The Supernova also has a back panel which cannot be seen in this image which provides access to the charger if a charging cable (CCS) needs to be replaced.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND SITE PREPARATION Door and Keys Instructions Instructions For an easier interaction, before opening the doors, unplug the EV cables and , and store them carefully to prevent any damage to the cables, charging connectors, and to prevent a trip hazard.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND SITE PREPARATION Site Requirements During the installation, leave a required minimum distance from possible objects around the Supernova to allow the door to open and facilitate maintenance operations. The image below gives the dimensions of Supernova with the doors opened. Please ensure the required space for maintenance on all sides without obstructions.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND SITE PREPARATION Cable Reach The Supernova fast charging station comes with a 5 m (196.85 In) cable. The following image shows the cables’ operating radius.. (196.85 In) (196.85 In)
TRANSPORT AND UNPACKING Reception Tilt If the indicator point is red, this package has exceeded its tilting angle. Make a note on the bill of lading and check for damage. Any tilt claims depend on this note. Impact If the indicator point is red, this package suffered an impact or was dropped during transport. Make a note on the bill of lading and check for damage.
For the Supernova 180, the forklift or crane’s lifting capacity must be greater than or equal to 430 kg (lbs). In the case of the Supernova 120 or Supernova 60 the lifting capacity needs to be greater than 400 kg (882 lbs) and 370 kg (816 lbs) respectively.If you have ordered a...
TRANSPORT AND UNPACKING Unpacking Make sure to have enough space to unpack the charger. Six M10x35 (3/8-16) plastic screws shall be unscrewed from the front and back of the packaging. Take out the external and the internal top cover.

TRANSPORT AND UNPACKING Unpacking Remove the side parts of the packaging to take out the internal top cover. Take out the hoses from the boxes placed in front and in the back of the charger.
Page 24
TRANSPORT AND UNPACKING Unpacking Unpack the EV plugs and connect them to the holsters. Then, unpack the installation kit. Carefully lift the charger with a forklift or crane before unscrewing the four M12 (1/2) nuts and take out the two plates at the bottom of the pallet.
Ground Works Supernova can be fixed to the ground by using: • The eSolutions installation kit. • A concrete footing compliant with the eSolutions installation kit. • Chemical anchors. Using the eSolutions installation kit Structural engineering work must be carried out in accordance with local regulations and as specified below: •...

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Ground Works Dig a hole, respecting the minimum dimensions of the level plate and leaving some extra space around it. The resulting depth shouldn’t be less than 45 cm (17. 716 In). The cables must be loose enough and protrude a minimum of 75 cm (29.527 In) above the surface to permit an electrical connection to the charger.
Page 27
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Ground Works Place the installation kit into the hole, respecting the “Front” direction of the upper plate. Fill the concrete base to ground level. The lower plate should be buried in the concrete, 45 cm (17. 71 In) below ground. On the upper plate, the four threaded rods should protrude 4 cm to 6 cm (1.57- 2.36 In) from the ground.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Ground Works Alternative ground preparation methods are described below. Prefabricated concrete foot with eSolutions compatible mounting plate Check the manual provided by the supplier of the prefabricated concrete foot before proceeding with the installation. Chemical anchors in concrete Using the level plate as an indicator, drill to make 4 holes in the concrete substrate and remove dust and debris from the floor, ensuring a clean surface.

REMEMBER Before lowering the Supernova, make sure the holes are aligned with the extremity are aligned with the extremity of the rods protruding from the ground as per step 4.
• It is the responsibility of the local engineer/contractor to ensure the above meets or exceeds the Supernova 180, the Supernova 120 upgradable, and the Supernova 60 upgradable electrical load requirements. If larger cables are required then there must be a transition joint/connection before the supply cables are terminated in Supernova wih respect to the bending radius and max conductor size described above.
Page 32
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Grid Connection • The Supernova is designed to receive copper supply cables from the upstream supply. If another conductor type, such as aluminum, is chosen to supply the Supernova, a transition joint between the copper conductor and the other metallic conductor must be performed outside Supernova.
