Installation method 

 

DANGER 
 

Installation requires access to the properties electrical consumer unit. Ensure that power 

to it is isolated before commencing any work. 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

Due  to  the  high  and  constant  current  draw,  the  charge  point  must  be  installed  on  a  dedicated  spur 
within the consumer unit. 

 
 

CAUTION

 

 

The  charge  point  must  be  installed  in  accordance  with  all  current  safety  and  legislative  requirements 
relevant  to  the  location  to  which  it  is  being  installed.  If  any  of  the  actions  listed  by  the  installation 
method described below contravene current safety and legislative requirements, they MUST be adjusted 
to meet the required standard. If that is NOT possible they MUST NOT be done. 
 

THE INSTALLER MUST ENSURE THE CHARGE POINT IS EARTHED 

 
It is recommended but not required that an isolation switch should be located near the charge point.  
 
Plastic hinges have been provided with the charge point for optional fitting to the two rightmost slots 
under the cover strips (Fig. A - 4).  These hinges allow the front panel of the charge point to hinge to 
the right of the rear casing allowing work to be carried out on the unit without removal of the front 
panel. 
 

 

Install a MCCB within the consumer unit that is appropriately rated for the charge point(s) that is 
being installed. 

 

Drill an appropriate sized hole on the side of the  charge point for a cable gland, ensuring that no 
damage is done to any internal components or wiring and removing any burrs and swarf that may 
have been generated in the process. The cable gland used must be suitably rated for the location of 
the charge point.  

 

The charge point should be secured to a wall or post as described on page 4. 

 

Pass  a  suitably  rated  cable  for  the  current  draw,  cable  length  and  cable  chasing  method  directly* 
from the consumer unit through the gland and connect LIVE and NEUTRAL to the correct terminals 
of the RCBO (Fig. C - 2). The terminals should be tightened to between 2.5 and 3Nm. For three 
phase charge points ensure that all 3 LIVE are connected to the correct terminals 

*If you are carrying out an OLEV approved install, an external energy meter is required between the 
charge point and consumer unit. It is recommended that you use an Emlite ASLH 382. The Emlite must 
be positioned in a suitable location to receive a GSM signal 

 

Connect  the  EARTH  to  the  mains  input  earth  terminal  (Fig.  C  -  4) 

THE  INSTALLER  MUST 

ENSURE THE CHARGE POINT IS CORRECTLY EARTHED
