Hazardous Voltage.
Will cause death or serious injury.
Please consider all safety warnings in the VersiCharge Installation
and Operations Manual and refer to the Siemens web link (usa.
siemens.com/versicharge) prior to wiring. Ensure the breaker is off
during all electrical work.
All pedestals shall be factory pre-drilled for installing one (1) or two (2) Siemens VersiCharge
EVSE units (specify when ordering). The post product is compatible with all VersiCharge
models. This post product is recommended to be used for VersiCharge 40/48 A models that
are supplied with 20 ft. cables.
Installation height is regulated by NEC®; however, this can vary based on local jurisdiction.
NEC® 2011 specifies: Outdoor (NEC® Article 625.30B) defines installation of VersiCharge as
24-48 inches above the grade (to any reach point). Use appropriate tools and hardware to
fasten equipment (see details).
Concrete Pad, Power Feed and Anchor Requirements for VersiCharge
Provide an approved concrete or composite base with the top flush at ground level with 12"
conduit stub-up centered. The base size should be a minimum of 18" x 18" x 18" and can be
poured or pre-cast/pre-made. Installation of protective concrete-filled steel bollard posts and/
or curb stops to protect the charger from an automobile strike is recommended. Using the
provided drop-in anchors (with a concrete base), secure the pedestal to the base. If using a
composite base, secure per the manufacturer's instructions.
There is an option to run the power supply and shielded communication wires underground,
feeding through the bottom opening in the pedestal or (if the conduits are run above ground)
the wires may be brought in through the sides of the post using the lower 1" holes on each
side of the pedestal base. When using above ground conduits, use ¾" NPT fittings to enter
through 1" holes in the lower section of the pedestal.
Feed-wire size shall be determined by a qualified electrician using industry standard
calculations.
NOTICE
Communications wires must be shielded and suitable to be run by power wires or the
power wires may cause interference. The power conduit shall be sized to provide
three wires (L1, L2, GND) for each charger being mounted. Install the wires so they
extend sufficiently above the ground for direct attachment to the EVSE (the charger).
The communication conduit shall be ¾" to run one (or two) CAT 5/6 communication
cable(s) to each VersiCharge charger.
