To access the electrical connections, open
the enclosure by removing the two screws
on the left-hand side using a T15 Torx L
driver. Then unhook the latch located on
the bottom of the unit (over the cable

Note:
•
The Home Connector requires a
dedicated 208/240 VAC 60 Hz,
single-phase circuit, with its own 90A
circuit breaker.
•
Do not use a GFCI breaker. The Home
Connector contains a Personal
Protection circuit specifically designed
for use with electric vehicles.
•
Only 3 wires are required (L1, L2 and
GND), as shown in the illustration.
For branch circuits of 90A, use 4 AWG,
75°C copper wire. For installations less
than 90A, use conductors sized
according to Table 310.16 of NEC, or in
accordance with local electrical codes.
•
The two phases (L1 and L2) are
terminated on the input side of the
CONTACTOR. The ground (GND) is
terminated on the Ground Terminal at
the bottom of the enclosure.
•
Be careful not to damage the PC Board
when removing the power entry
knock-out, attaching the conduit, or
when wiring the service conductors to
the contactor.
Installation is complete. Before securing
the enclosure, perform the
post-installation testing procedure
described on page 10.
