3.1.2 Grounding Requirements The charger must be connected to a grounded, metal, and permanent wiring system. An equipment-grounding conductor must be run with circuit conductors and connected to an equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the charger. A grounding conductor that complies with applicable codes must be grounded to earth at the service equipment or, when supplied by a separate system, at the supply transformer.

3.2.1 Cable Entry Options The recommended cable entry options are described below. The preparation work varies depending on the entry options. A: Power Cable (Line/neutral: 3 AWG; PE: minimum 8 Cable Entry Option AWG. Copper wire only) B: Data Cable (Ethernet and RS485 cable) Bottom Entry: Manually remove the plugs (1) from the...
Page 22
Top Entry: Manually remove the plugs (2) from the top of the wire box. Rear Entry: Use a power drill with the 1⅜” step bit to drill into the rear cable entries.
Page 23
Installing the Charger DANGER Risk of shock. Turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker until the installation is completed. STEP 1 Manually detach the wire box (1) from the main unit (2).
Page 24
STEP 2 1. Place the wire box against the wall at a height of 33.5–45 inches (850–1150 mm). Level it using the built-in spirit level (1). 2. Mark the three mounting holes using a pencil and remove the wire box temporarily.
Page 25
STEP 3 1. Drill 2 inches (50 mm) into the three holes measuring 5/16 inch (8 mm) in diameter. 2. Tap the three wall anchors (1) into the holes. 3. Place the wire box against wall aligning with the three holes. Then insert and tighten the three M5 x 50 self-tapping screws using a power drill with the Phillips bit (PH2) to secure the wire box.
Page 26
Cable Connection IMPORTANT For the power cable, use copper conductors with the maximum wire size of 3 AWG (27 mm²). Prepare the conduits and conduit fittings (1-inch recommended) and route them into the charger according to the cable entries. Bottom entry: Route the cable through the conduit (2) and conduit fitting (1) into the charger from the...
Page 27
Top entry: Route the cable through the conduit (2) and conduit fitting (1) into the charger from the top. Rear entry: Route cable through the conduit (2) and conduit fitting (1) into the charger from the rear.
