Introduction

Easee Base

The Easee Base is a modular charging post designed to mount up to four Easee Charging Robots. It offers flexibility with four different configurations: one-way (one charger), two-way (two chargers), three-way (three chargers), and four-way (chargers on all sides). Despite the different configurations, many parts are common across all designs, with only a few specific to each layout.

Power Rail Installation

Before connecting

The Power Rail is a connection box that allows multiple charging posts to be connected in series. Pay attention to the earthing system of the charging post.

WARNING! The Power Rail is a product to be installed by an authorized electrician, and a declaration of conformity must always be provided upon completion by your installer.

WARNING! Turn off the power before beginning the wiring. Use extreme caution and follow instructions carefully.

1. Ground connection plate

Before installing the Power Rail, apply the ground connection plate. This plate is essential for connecting the post to the protective earth (PE).

1. Make sure the top PE terminal screw is open, then wedge the end of the plate into the terminal from the back. The ground connection plate should lie flat to the plastic housing.
2. Insert the serrated washer on the rod inside the column. It should be placed between the metal column and the Power Rail.
3. Slide the Power Rail with the ground connection plate inside the column and latch the bottom of the rail into the catch.

Diagrams illustrate the insertion of the ground connection plate into the column and the subsequent placement of the Power Rail.

4. Fasten grounding nut

Fasten the grounding nut with the spring washer on the rod.

NOTICE! In order to complete the PE connection, the grounding nut has to be fastened and the top PE terminal screw has to be tightened (regardless of whether there is a wire in it or not).

Important! Do not forget this step!

Diagram shows the final step of fastening the grounding nut and spring washer, and tightening the PE terminal screw.

2. Terminals

The ground connection plate connects the entire leftmost lane to the metal column; this lane is only used for PE connections.

It is recommended to use the two lower terminal sets for the main power cables. One set is for power in, and the other is for power out, if connecting another charging post on the same cable. Wire size up to 25mm².

It is recommended to use the two upper terminal sets for the charger cables.

• For a single charger, only one set of terminals is used.
• For two chargers, both sets of terminals are used.
• For three or four chargers, two wires have to share a terminal. Wire size up to 6mm².

Diagrams illustrate terminal usage for 1-Way, 2-Way, and 3-Way/4-Way configurations, showing which terminals are assigned to 'Charger 1', 'Charger 2', etc.

3. Wiring

The Power Rail has 5 lanes, supporting TN, IT, and TT three and one phase electrical grids.

1. Strip the cable cores by 12 mm. If the cable has flexible conductors, use cable end sleeves on all wires and press them with correct tools.
2. Tighten the screws with a torque of 5 Nm.

NOTICE! Terminations should be visually and mechanically inspected before mounting the side panel.

TN 3 phase

TN 1 phase

Diagram shows a terminal block with connections for PE, N, L1. Corresponding colored wires (Green/Yellow, Blue, Brown) are depicted.

IT/TT network

TN is the most common grid type in Europe, using five conductors for 230 V and 400 V. IT and TT grid systems are common in Norway and Albania, using 4 conductors and providing 230 V without a neutral connector.

IT/TT 3 phase

Diagram shows a terminal block with connections for PE, L1, L2, L3. Corresponding colored wires (Green/Yellow, Brown, Black, Grey) are depicted.

IT/TT 1 phase

Diagram shows a terminal block with connections for PE, L1. Corresponding colored wires (Green/Yellow, Brown) are depicted.

NOTICE! It's recommended to follow the existing colour codes used in the installation. The illustrations follow the IEC 60446 standard, but national standards may vary.

NOTICE! Make sure the conductors are properly connected before turning on the power for the Charging Robot(s).

4. Side panel

After connecting all wires to the Power Rail, mount the side panel with 4 rounded head screws (labeled C).

Diagram shows the side panel being attached to the column with screws labeled 'C'.

Practical Details

Warranty

The device is free from material defects and complies with consumer protection laws. All correctly installed Easee hardware is covered by a 3-year limited warranty.

Foundation

This charging post usually requires a mechanical foundation. The adapter plate is compatible with most c/c 160 mm foundations. Foundations similar to Ørstafundament are recommended. In some situations, the smaller base of the column can be used directly without the adapter plate, requiring an 80 x 80 cm center-to-center footprint.

Screws

For all flat and rounded head screws, a torque of 7-9 Nm is recommended.
