WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (Hardwired LCS)

Route the LCS conduit to a nearby service panel or junction box. Use the 

included ¼” trade size watertight fitting to provide a moisture-resistant seal 

with the service panel or junction box. If necessary, drill a 1/2” diameter hole to 

accommodate the liquid-tight fitting or use the included 1/4” NPT to 1/2” NPT  

thread reducer kit.

Figure 8: Wiring the LCS 
in a Junction Box

NOTE: 

The three LCS service conductors 

use stranded 12AWG, 75ºC copper wire. The 

insulation of each conductor is color coded for 

standard 240V AC installation:
 

Green:  Ground

 

Black:  Line 1  (120V AC to Ground)

 

Red:       Line 2  (120V AC to Ground)

REMARQUE:

 Les trois conducteurs service 

la LCS utiliser multibrins 12 AWG, 75ºC fil de 

cuivre. L’isolation de chaque conducteur est un 
code couleur pour une installation standard de 

240 VAC:
 

Vert: 

Mise à la Terre

 

Noir:  Ligne 1 (120VAC à Mise à la Terre)

 

Rouge:   Ligne 2 (120VAC à Mise à la Terre)

NOTA:

 Los tres conductores de servicio EVSE 

utilizan cable de cobre trenzado de 10 AWG 

y 75ºC. El aislamiento de cada conductor 

está codificado por colores para la instalación 

estándar de 240 V CA:
                Verde:   Tierra

                Negro:   Línea 1 (120V CA a tierra)
