1.   Secure Charger to Mounting Bracket: Using the kit-supplied tamper-resistant screw– secure the charger cover with one screw  
    on the side.

2.    Install Holster to Charger: Align Holster with guides in charger and drill pilot hole. Using the kit-supplied tamper-resistant screw,  
    use the third screw to secure the holster to the charger (hole at the top of the holster)

3.   Standard installation (Figure 5) – Drill pilot holes and use the kit-supplied lag screw, #8 x 2-1/2” drywall screw, to secure the  
    holster to the wall stud.

4.   Alternate installation  (Figure 2, Section 2.3) – Drill pilot hole and use the fifth wallboard screw with anchor, screw into the wall.  

2.6 Check the System

1. Turn the power on; the white Power Available light should illuminate. If it does not, verify that the outlet or wire is  

 

  putting out 240 or 208 V using the voltmeter.

2. With the Power Available light on, plug the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) cable into the car. If you have any    
  fault lights, please see the LED Light Display table in Section 8.1.
