INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Wall Connector may be installed on any flat, vertical surface capable of supporting its weight (e.g. wall, 
pedestal, etc.). Wall Connector (wirebox, faceplate, and long cable) weighs 6.8 kg (15 lb).

Choosing Location

Install Wall Connector in a location that allows the charge cable to reach the vehicle charge port without 
putting strain on the cable.

•  Dark gray: Recommended installation area for Wall Connectors with 7.3 m (24 ft) cable
•  Light gray: Recommended installation area for Wall Connectors with 2.6 m (8.5 ft) cable

Install Wall Connector in a location with ample clearance on all sides to allow the charge cable to loop 
around the unit and the charge handle to comfortably land in the side dock.

NOTE:

 If constrained by space, a cable organizer can be installed near the Wall Connector.
