5.3.2.1 Attaching the bracket to a wall
NOTICE
You must install the wall mount bracket in such a way
that the lower end of the bracket is at least 1030 mm
(40.5 inches) off the floor.

You must make sure that the drill holes are at least 95
mm (4 inches) deep.
To mount the bracket on the wall:
1.
Remove the wall mount bracket from its box.
2. Mark the four drill hole positions on the wall using the
bracket as a template.
3. Drill four drill holes (8 mm / ⁵/₁₆ inch) in the marked
positions.
4. Push the four wall plugs (8 x 50 mm) (⁵/₁₆ x 2 inch)
firmly into the drill holes.
5. Use a Torx T25 screwdriver and four screws (6 x 90
mm) (¹/₄ x 3¹/₂ inch) to secure the bracket.
5.3.2.2Attaching the bracket to a pole
To mount the bracket on a pole:

Installing the blind plugs and
conduit fitting
1.
Choose the appropriate conduit, in accordance with all
applicable state, local, and national electrical codes
and standards.
2. Choose the grid cable entry position, and then mount
the conduit fitting in the required position. There are:
– two floor-facing entry positions at the bottom of the
enclosure (preformed ¾” NPT (National Pipe Ta-
pered)), and
– two rear-facing entry positions at the back of the enclo-
sure (drill templates for ¾” to 1” conduit cutouts). See
superimposed markings in
.
Fig. 5
CAUTION
For rear-facing installations, use an appropriate cord
grip which meets the NEMA 3S standard.
For floor-facing installations of the grid cable, use a ¾“
NPT cord grip. (NPT = American National Standard Pipe
Thread standards, also known as national pipe thread.
CAUTION
1.
When opting for rear-facing positions, you must make
sure that you drill the conduit entry hole very carefully
to prevent damage to internal components. Any dam-
age caused is entirely your risk. If parts of the charge
station, except the removed cutout area, are damaged
during installation, you must not use the product after
is has been damaged.
2. Mount the conduit in accordance with all applicable
state, local, and national electrical codes and stan-
dards. If necessary, use flexible liquidtight conduit to
facilitate mounting the charge station onto the wall.
3. Using an S8 hex Allen wrench or a 29 mm wrench,
mount the enclosed blind plugs in any unused cable en-
try positions. Make sure that the sealing ring is properly
seated on the blind plug before screwing the plug into
the enclosure (torque setting: 5 Nm / 3.7 lb-ft). After
mounting the plugs, visually verify tight assembly.
NOTICE
You can use flexible or regular conduits for installing
your charge station .
