INTRODUCTION
This document provides step-by-step instructions related to the installation of an EVSE Pedestal Kit for the Leviton EVB32 family of Electric Vehicle Charging
Stations. For catalog numbers EVB40 and EVB55, please contact customer support.
Package Includes:
• (1) 4 in. x 4 in. x 43.5 in. pedestal with cap and two docking bracket assemblies
• (1) Hardware kit - includes (4) #10/32 spanner screws and (4) external toothlock washers
• (1) Installation instructions
CONCRETE PAD
NOTE: The requirements below are the manufacturers minimum recommendations only. The location, dimensions and composition of the concrete pad for
supporting the pedestal should always adhere to local building codes.
• The pad must be a minimum of 18 in. square.
• The pad must be a minimum of 24 in. deep
.
• Stub-up must be a minimum of 3 in. above the concrete pad.
• Anchor bolts must be a minimum of 2.25 in. above the concrete pad.
• If there is not a wheel stop, the center of the pedestal must be placed at least 36 in. behind the curb.
• If there is a wheel stop, the center of the pedestal must be placed 12 in. behind the curb.
LEVELING
Hex nuts and washers can be placed on the anchor bolts below the pedestal to adjust the vertical alignment of the pedestal should the concrete pad not be level.
When leveling nuts are used, a gap will be present between the concrete pad and pedestal base. This gap should be filled with silicone sealant. Apply silicone per
manufacturers recommendations.
GROUNDING
WARNING: THE EVSE CHARGING STATION IS TO BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED, METAL, PERMANENT WIRING SYSTEM. THE EVSE PEDESTAL IS
TO BE CONNECTED TO A SEPARATE GROUND CONDUCTOR RUN AND CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING LUG AT THE PEDESTAL MOUNTING POLE.
PEDESTAL GROUND
PATH 1: The dedicated pedestal ground can be supplied by a grounding bushing at the end of the stub-up if the conduit is metal and runs back to the service
equipment.
PATH 2: If the conduit is non-conductive or does not run back to the service equipment, use of a grounding rod buried underneath the concrete pad will be required.
EVSE GROUND
The ground wire(s) connected to the EVSE charging station(s) mounted to the pedestal must be fed from the supply equipment.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
•
THE EVSE CHARGING STATION IS TO BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED, METAL, PERMANENT WIRING SYSTEM. THE EVSE
PEDESTAL IS TO BE CONNECTED TO A SEPARATE GROUND CONDUCTOR RUN AND CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING LUG AT
THE PEDESTAL MOUNTING POLE.
•
TO ENSURE THAT THE EVSE CHARGING STATION AND PEDESTAL ARE INSTALLED PER AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)
STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE DESIGN GUIDELINES, REFER TO CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS DOCUMENT 28 CFR
PART 36. SECTIONS 4.2 AND 4.4.
• INSTALLER: ENSURE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE LEFT WITH THE USER.
• USER: ENSURE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE KEPT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING:
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
WARNING:
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Trench and run conduit and wiring per local codes and standards. If a ground rod is required in accordance with local and current NEC electrical codes,
see GROUNDING section.
2.
Install/Pour concrete pad. NOTE: Refer to the CONCRETE PAD section for pad requirements and Figure 1.
3. Immediately after pouring the concrete, use the anchor bolt template provided to place four type L or J anchor bolts in a 6 in. by 6 in. pattern until concrete
is fully set. Anchor bolts should protrude a minimum of 2.25 in. above the concrete pad. NOTE: Safety bollards may be required; consult your (AHJ) Authority
Having Jurisdiction for details. NOTE: If mounting directly to poured concrete sidewalk, size concrete expansion anchors appropriately based on sidewalk
thickness.
4. Pull conductors from the service equipment to the EVSE pedestal location leaving 5 ft. of wire exposed after the stub-up. The conductors must be long enough
to feed through the EVSE pedestal and flexible conduit with 10 in. of wire remaining to wire the charging station. NOTE: Run dedicated circuits (1 for each
EVSE charging station) as per the EVSE Charging Station Installation Instructions, NEC and local building codes.
5. Remove both outlet box covers and pull the supply conductors and ground wire for the EVSE charging station through the 1-gang opening of the EVSE
pedestal (Figure 2).
6. Position the EVSE pedestal assembly on the anchor bolts. NOTE: Hex nuts and washers can be placed on the anchor bolts below the EVSE pedestal to adjust
the vertical alignment of the EVSE pedestal should the concrete pad not be level. If leveling nuts are used, see LEVELING section and Figure 3.
7. Secure the EVSE pedestal using appropriately sized hex nuts and washers (Figure 3). Apply Anti-Seize compound (recommended for use on all bolts and
nuts) and finish with acorn nuts.
8. Connect the dedicated EVSE pedestal ground wire from the ground bushing (Path 1) or ground rod (Path 2) to the ground lug inside the EVSE pedestal
(Figure 4). This will require a flathead screwdriver entering the 1-gang opening opposite the ground lug. NOTE: Refer to the GROUNDING section and
Figure 4 to ensure both EVSE pedestal and EVSE charging station are properly grounded.
9. Cut out a 3/4 in. hole in one of the outlet box covers to accept a 90 degree liquid tight conduit fitting. Connect the fitting to the outlet box cover and secure
with a locknut (Figure 5).
10. Attach the 3/4 in. flexible liquid tight conduit (approx. 8-1/4 in.) to the conduit fitting.
11. Using a 3/4 to 1 in. reducing bushing, connect a 1 in. hub to the other end of the flexible conduit.
12. Pull supply conductors and ground wire for the EVSE charging station through the outlet box cover, flexible conduit assembly and hub; then secure both outlet
box covers back onto the EVSE pedestal (Figure 5).
13. Mount the EVSE charging station using (2) #10/32 spanner screws and toothlock washers (Figure 6).
14. Connect the flexible conduit assembly and hub to the EVSE charging station.
15. Wire the EVSE charging station (refer to the EVSE Charging Station Installation Instructions).
