3 Installation

Before installation

3.1.1 Safety check

The charge point must be installed only by a licensed electrician in accordance with the provisions of the
local electrical industry construction and should comply with national electrical codes and standards.

Before installing the charge point, make sure you have read all of these instructions in this manual and
fully understand its contents.

Appropriate protection is required when connecting to a main switchboard. The tools and parts used as
outlined in the section “Tools & parts required for installation”.

3.1.2 Grounding instructions

The charge point must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent wiring system or an
equipment grounding conductor. Use a wire with a dedicated grounding wire and a ring terminal and
connected to the equipment ground terminal block for grounding.

CAUTION: Disconnect the power supply before installing or repairing the charge point. Failure
to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the charge
point.
