Advice provided in this manual does NOT replace any legislation.
x
The manufacturer/distributor cannot accept any responsibility for improper installation
or any problems arising from improper installation.
NOTE:
Damage to the equipment, connected systems or to property caused by improper

Before Installation
1. Discuss with the customer where the chargepoint is to be installed. This may affect
whether the electrical power cable will enter the unit from below or behind the enclosure.
x
Cable entry through the left, right or top of the enclosure is NOT recommended.
x
If Load Balancing will be implemented, the charge point should, ideally, be within the
reach of the Load Balancing Device cable which must be connected between the
chargepoint and the property’s main consumer unit (fuse box). Load Balancing Device
cables can be extended if required.
x
If Load Balancing will be implemented, plan the installation of the Load Balancing
Device alongside the installation of the chargepoint. Information about installing load
balancing is shown after the chargepoint installation.
2. Identify an installation location for the unit that is both secure and environmentally safe.
x
If installing a tethered cable version of the charger, also decide where the cable
tidy/hanger will be mounted.
x
Whilst the chargepoint is weather resistant in accordance with the required
standards, a location that is sheltered from weather extremes will help to maintain
that resistance.
NOTE:
For ease of access, it is suggested that there is a minimum of 250mm free
space on both the left and right-hand sides of the chargepoint when it is installed.
NOTE:
This unit is NOT suitable for use in locations where there are high amounts of
dust, or in an explosive or flammable environment.
3. Make sure the charger will be mounted at an accessible height, that access to the charger
is not restricted, and that the charger does not restrict access to other parts of the
property.
4. Consider the distance between the charger and the vehicle(s) that will be charged.
5. Make sure the location meets current legislation (if applicable).
6. Make sure there is a suitable electrical power supply available at the installation site.
