4.1
Can a EATON xChargeIn with Type 2 socket be converted to a fixed cable?
No. Converting to a fixed cable is not possible.
4.2
Is there a cable extension for the wall box?
For reasons of operational safety, EATON strongly recommends the use of one single,
sufficiently long cable without intermediate pieces or couplings. For reasons of compatibility,
it is also assumed that when using extensions, specific contacts are not connected through
and thus an error-free charging is not possible.
4.3
Installing the EATON xChargeIn on a base
For installing the EATON xChargeIn in the open field, a Nirosta base can be ordered. The
base comes in versions for single or double installation of the EATON xChargeIn. Please
refer to the instructions for the base for more details.
4.3.1
What kind of subsurface is required for the base?
A level and load-bearing subsurface is required for the setting up. To ensure a secure and
permanent anchoring, we recommend using a cement foundation. Mounting the column on
asphalt is not allowed! For details on setting up the base, please refer to the instructions for
the base.
