    Accessories Installing the MVP-WCS-52 Since the Wall Charging Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care must be taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to any touch panel placed within. Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
  • Page 21 To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the mechanism of the Wall-Mounted Charging Station, the top right knockout is preferred for use. 3. Run the power cable through the knockout into the box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of cable into the box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WCS-52.
