1.0 Installation Safety
SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This guide contains important instructions that must
be followed during the installation of the electric
vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). All instructions
should be carefully read before installation of the
EVSE.
WARNING: Turn OFF the circuit breaker at the
service or distribution panel before performing
any electrical work or repairs.
WARNING: The EVSE should be installed by a
licensed electrician in accordance with all local
electrical codes and ordinances, and all authorities
having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Do not install the EVSE near ammable,
explosive, or combustible materials. Do not locate
or store ammable, explosive, or combustible
materials near the EVSE.
2.0 Installation Contents: Bollard and
EVSE (EL-50600-300)
2.1 Power Xpress EVSE (EL-50600-300) for Bollard
Charge Station
2.2 Bollard and Hardware (EL-50600-500)
WARNING: Improper installation of the EVSE can
result in personal injury or product damage.
WARNING: This EVSE installation guide is not a
substitute for electrical safety precautions.
WARNING: Use this EVSE within the specied
operating parameters. Failure to do so may result
in injury or death.
WARNING: Locate and install this EVSE in a location
where the charge cable will not be stepped on,
tripped over, or subject to damage or stress.
WARNING: The EVSE must be connected to a
grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal on the EVSE.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the EVSE can
result in damage to the vehicle’s battery and to
the Charge Station itself. These damages will void
the warranty for the vehicle and the EVSE.
CAUTION: Do not operate the EVSE in temperatures
beyond its operating range of -40°F to +122°F
(-40°C to +50°C).

3.0 Tools Suggested for Installation
(Not Provided)
WARNING: The EVSE is a single-phase device. Do
not connect all three phases of a 3-phase feed.
Only three wires are connected, take care that
the service transformer secondary connection
is known, and the three wires from the mainpanel circuit breaker are correctly connected and
labeled.
4.2 208V 3-Phase Wye Connection (North America)
Any two of the legs can be used to provide 208V to the EVSE with
a Wye-connected secondary. For example, L1 and L2, or L1 and
L3, or L2 and L3. Reference the wiring diagram below.

IMPORTANT: The onsite service connection must be
properly identied before installation of the EVSE. If
you are unsure of the available service connection,
consult the local utility company or contact Bosch
Electric Vehicle Solutions at 1-877-805-EVSE (3873).
NOTE: The L1, L2, and Ground outputs (H, N for Europe) in the
following illustrations correspond to the inputs on the EVSE.
NOTE: For the (earth) ground connection, always connect the
neutral at the service panel to earth ground. Ground fault protection is not possible unless the neutral (center tap on the
service transformer) is connected to an earth ground.

WARNING: The EVSE must be installed by a
licensed electrician and in accordance with all local
electrical codes, ordinances, and all authorities
having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Do not install the EVSE near ammable,
explosive, or combustible materials. Do not locate
or store ammable, explosive, or combustible
materials near the EVSE.
