4. Installation

The HM EV Charger is designed for wall-mounted installation and can also be adapted for column mounting. Due to the electrical nature of this device, professional installation by a certified electrician is mandatory to ensure safety and compliance with all local electrical codes.

4.1 Site Selection

• Choose a location that is easily accessible for vehicle parking and charging.
• Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and can support the weight of the charger (approximately 4 kg / 8.8 lbs).
• Maintain adequate clearance around the charger for ventilation and maintenance.
• Consider proximity to the main electrical panel for power supply connection.

This image illustrates two common installation methods for the EV charger: a wall-hanging setup, where the charger is securely mounted on a vertical surface, and an optional column mounting, suitable for freestanding installations in parking areas.

4.2 Electrical Connection

The charger requires a dedicated circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection. The input voltage is 220 Volts. The electrician will connect the main power supply to the charger's input terminals.

• Ensure all power is disconnected at the main breaker before commencing any wiring.
• Follow the wiring diagram provided with the product and adhere to Type 2 connector standards for the charging cable.
• Proper grounding is critical for safety.
