1.1 Safety Information
Before installing, operating, or repairing the equipment, please read this safety information carefully and become familiar with the equipment.
- Electrical hazard! The charging station must be installed, commissioned, and repaired by a trained, qualified, and authorized electrician responsible for compliance with current standards and installation regulations.
- Please note that vehicle or national regulations may require additional overvoltage protection. Check local connection and installation standards.
- Before testing, ensure all screws and terminals are firmly connected. The terminal cover shall not be opened without supervision. Secure the terminal cover before leaving the charging station.
- Do not make any unauthorized modifications or adjustments to the charging station.
- Repair or replacement of the charging station should only be completed by the manufacturer or a trained person.
- Do not remove any identifiers, such as safety signs, warning instructions, nameplates, labels, or cable marks.
- The Charging Station is not equipped with a power switch. Use the residual current action circuit breaker and the building insulation circuit breaker as a power isolation device.
- Remove the charging cable from the connector using the plug handle; do not pull the cable.
- Ensure the charging cable is not mechanically damaged (kinked, stuck, or crushed). Keep away from heat sources, dirt, or water in the contact area.
- Do not use this product if the power cord or EV cable is worn, intermediately insulated, or shows any other signs of damage.
- Do not use this product if the housing or EV connector is broken, cracked, opened, or shows any other signs of damage.
- Do not leave the device unattended when children are nearby.
- Do not insert objects into the EV connector.
- Do not use high-pressure water (hose, pressure washer, etc.) to clean the charging station. Ensure the charging station is not damaged by improper handling.
- For charging stations installed outdoors, do not open the wiring cover in rain or snow.
- The installation area must be flat and shall not distort the housing (enclosure). Use the required screw torque.
Touching electronic components may cause damage. Before touching the module, discharge by touching a metal ground object. Failure to operate with safety instructions may cause personal injuries and equipment damage. The equipment manufacturer is not liable for any claims arising therefrom.
1.2 Device Use
The charging station is used to charge electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids for both indoor and outdoor use. Do not use the charging station to connect to any other equipment, such as power tools. The charging station shall be mounted on walls or cylinders. Installation must comply with relevant local specifications and requirements.
The use of the equipment must meet the environmental conditions set at the time of development. The development, production, testing, and documentation of the charging station are based on relevant safety standards. If operated in accordance with instructions and for its specified purpose, this product will not cause danger to personal health and property under normal circumstances.
The equipment must be grounded. Grounding helps reduce the risk of electric shock. The equipment is connected to the grounded metal permanent wire wiring system, or the equipment ground conductor must run with the circuit conductor and be connected to the equipment ground terminal or lead on the product.
Please carefully follow the instructions outlined in this manual. Otherwise, a potential hazard may occur, or the safety equipment may become inoperable. In addition to the safety information described in this manual, please review specific equipment specified in the Safety and Accident Prevention Code.

The charging station can be used indoors or outdoors. Ensure the installation site meets required conditions and protective measures are taken.
- Refer to local electrical installation regulations, fire prevention regulations, accident prevention regulations, and on-site rescue routes.
- Do not install the charging station at:
- An escape or rescue route.
- Areas with potential explosion hazards (EX environment).
- Environments that cause the charging station to contact ammonia (e.g., restrooms).
- Locations where the charging station may be damaged by falling objects (e.g., hanging ladders or tools).
- Locations where the charging cable may be a trip hazard for pedestrians.
- Locations subject to high-pressure water (e.g., manual car wash systems, high-pressure washers, or garden hoses).
- Installation surfaces that cannot withstand mechanical stress.
- Wherever possible, install the charging station in areas protected from direct rainfall to avoid damage from weather, ice, and hail.
- Wherever possible, install in areas protected from direct sunlight to avoid reduced charging current or interruption of the charging process due to high temperature.
- Follow the approved environmental conditions described in the "Technical Parameters" section.
- Ensure compliance with national and international installation standards and specifications.
3.2 Electrical Connection Instruction
The default current for the charging station is 50A. Ensure the maximum current is set using the APP to accommodate the installed circuit breaker.
Power Supply Cable: Use only 90°C Copper Core Cable: 6AWG / 50A, 8AWG / 32A, 11AWG / 16A. It must be permanently connected to the existing building facilities.
Wiring Terminal: Rated to 105°C and accepts a maximum of 16 mm² (6 AWG) wire.
Power Isolation Device: The charging station does not have a power switch. Use current action circuit breakers and/or power supply cable circuit breakers as power isolation devices (do not use a GFCI breaker; CCID protection is included in the device). When selecting the circuit breaker, consider the temperature climb of the control room, combined with the required charging rating and the capacity of the power supply cable.
Installation
4.1 Installation Requirements
- Comply with local installation specifications.
- The product must be connected to a grounded fixed metal wire wiring system, or the equipment ground conductor must operate with the circuit conductor and connect to the equipment ground terminal or product conductor.
- Environmental Adaptation: If the temperature difference between transportation and installation site exceeds 15°C, the charging station must remain unopened for at least two hours. Immediate opening may cause condensation within the charging station and damage.
- Ensure there is a WIFI signal available, as the APP requires a wireless connection.
List of Tools:
- Electric Drill (Brick wall only)
- Phillips / Cross #2 screwdriver
- Flat Tip #0 screwdriver
- Marking pen or pencil
4.2 Recommended Installation Location
Before installing, check the site for mounting location and electrical capacity. Ensure a strong WIFI signal is available.
