Plan The Location

WARNING: In areas with frequent thunderstorms, add surge protection at the service panel for all circuits. Ensure all power and ground connections, especially those at the breaker and bus bar, are clean and tight.

CAUTION: Not recommended to be installed in coastal environments with high humidity or high dust.

Before installation, check the site for appropriate mounting location and electrical capacity.

1. Choose a mounting location that allows the charging cable to reach the car's charging port while still providing slack.
2. The device must be anchored into mounting such as 80mm x 130mm stud or a solid wall.
3. The device shall be mounted at height between 600 mm and 1500 mm from ground.
4. Ensure there is Wi-Fi signal available if you want to use the app.
5. Determine the desired charging amperage and whether the desired circuit rating requires a hardwired circuit. Choose based on the electrical capacity in the panel, the desired speed of charging, and whether the user prefers a hardwired or plug-in installation.

Ensure the electrical panel supports a 240V dedicated circuit with a new, dedicated, and non-GFCI two-pole circuit breaker, in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

The recommended installation height is between 51 and 59 inches (130 - 150 cm). Note that the minimum installation height must be at least 19 inches (50 cm), measured from the bottom of your charger.

For plug-in installations, the NEMA outlet should be located 43 and 51 inches (110 - 130 cm) from the ground adjacent to the stud where the charging station will be mounted.

Mount The Charger

WARNING: This device must be grounded. Disconnect electrical power prior to installing the charger.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor would result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it doesn't fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION: Use appropriate protection when connecting to the main power distribution cable.

NEMA Plug-in Installation

If you already have a NEMA outlet, ensure that:

• It complies with local electrical codes.
• It has a designated circuit breaker and electrical wiring that are dimensioned appropriately.

When installing a NEMA outlet, be sure the ground pin is facing up as shown in the diagram.

Diagram Description: Shows a NEMA 14-50R outlet with connections for 120V, 240V, Neutral, and Ground.

Important Recommendations

• Ensure you have the correct permits for this electrical installation.
• Keep in mind that the power supply cable length is about 19 inches (50 cm).
• Ensure the electrical panel supports a 240V dedicated circuit with a new, dedicated two pole circuit breaker.

Installation Steps (NEMA Plug-in):

1. Remove the faceplate and the wire cover from the charger.
2. Hold the included installation template to the wall. Mark the location of the holes. Ensure that the placement of the NEMA outlet and your charger will allow for an adequate connection of the 19" (50 cm) NEMA cable.
3. Drill 2 holes with a diameter of 12 mm and a depth of 57 mm.
4. Insert 2 wall anchors into the mounting holes. Then drill one screw into the top-most mounting hole, leaving a 5 mm gap to hang the charger on.
5. Position the charger to align with the holes and hang it on the protruding screw using the notch on the back of the charger.
6. Drive the remaining screw into the mounting hole to secure the charger. Do not over-tighten the screw.
7. Attach the screw plug to cover the bottom screw.
8. Place the wire cover over the exposed wiring.
9. Insert the four corner screws to secure your charger cover.
10. Snap the faceplate onto the charger.

Hardwired Installation

Installation Steps (Hardwired):

1. Remove the faceplate and the wire cover from the charger.
2. Hold the included installation template to the wall. Mark the location of the holes. Ensure that the placement of the NEMA outlet and your charger will allow for an adequate connection of the 19" (50 cm) NEMA cable.
3. Drill 2 holes with a diameter of 12 mm and a depth of 57 mm.
4. Insert 2 wall anchors into the mounting holes. Then drill one screw into the top-most mounting hole, leaving a 5 mm gap to hang the charger on.
