Installation Steps
Step 1: Wall Bracket Fixing
Once you have established the correct height, use the wall bracket to mark five positions on the wall with a suitable tool. Drill five holes and fix the bracket to the wall with the screws provided, or screws suitable for the application.

Mount the EV charger to the wall bracket by hooking it to the wall bracket from the top, then pushing it down. Once the charger is securely supported by the wall bracket, use the screw provided, or a screw suitable for the application, to secure the bottom of the charger to the wall.

The EV charger is supplied with a mains M25 nylon cable gland. Ensure that the gland is suitable for the mains cable used, otherwise you may need to change the gland. Insert the cable through the right-hand entry cable gland and tighten the glanding nut. Strip back the cable and terminate cables into right-hand terminal blocks. Use the cable clamp on the inside to help secure the cable. Care must be taken when terminating cables. Ensure conductors are terminated into their corresponding terminals before turning on the power.

Install the CT Clamp at the house input cable, on the same phase as the EV charger, and connect the CT clamp wires to the "Ext current det" connector. The software will always correct the CT clamp readings. You don't need to worry about the direction of the clamp or which way you connect the wires in the "Ext current det" connector.

Power output can be restricted by adjusting the dip switch settings on the power board. This must be set or adjusted by an authorised installer only. As the EV Charger has a load balancing feature, you can leave the power output to its default setting 32A / 7.4kW and set the maximum house input power in the commissioning page. The EV Charger will monitor the house power consumption and will use the maximum power available at any given time.
Diagrams show dip switch configurations for power output: 13A (3kW), 16A (3.7kW), 24A (5.5kW), and 32A (7.4kW). Each configuration has two dip switches labeled '1' and '2'.Step 6: Setup House Input Fuse
Select the value of the house fuse using the dip switch on the power board to allow the EV Charger to adjust the load balancing power output. This must be set or adjusted by an authorised installer only! If the house fuse value is different from the options available through the dip switch, you can use the commissioning page to set the correct fuse value in the "HouseAmpLimit" field.
Diagrams show dip switch configurations for single-phase house input fuses: 1x40A, 1x60A, 1x80A, and 1x100A. Each configuration has three dip switches labeled '1', '2', and '3'.Step 7: Internet Connection
Whenever possible, use the Ethernet cable connection to allow internet access, as this is the easiest solution to configure. If it is not possible to connect an Ethernet cable, you may use the Wi-Fi connection supplied with the EV Charger.
