4 Installation instructions
4.1 About construction
The construction phase includes all work required to prepare the location and ensure it is ready for the
placement and connection of the Terra DC Wallbox charger. The construction phase can start when:
• The wall preparation work is done.
• All necessary permits are granted.
• The grid connection is available.
4.2 Instruction for a wall bearing
1. Drill and tap 4 holes and insert the plug for fixation in the wall at the indicated positions (refer to
technical drawing in the Appendix A par. 10.1). For safety purposes, the number of recommended
fixing screws is 4xST7.3x70. This is assuming the appropriate type of wall plugs are used (depends
on wall’s characteristics, structure and type). It is the installer’s responsibility to choose an appro-
priate wall plug and to plan for a load of 820 N on each plug.
2. When selecting the area along the wall for installation, ensure the required free spaces for the Terra
DC Wallbox cables are available (refer to section 3.4).
4.2.1 Mounting on a pedestal
The Terra DC Wallbox can also be mounted on a pedestal. In order to achieve a safe installation, the mini-
mum set of requirements are included in Appendix C – Pedestal requirements). For the ABB pedestal solu-
tion, contact your local ABB sales representative.
4.3 Power feed
The power cable enters the charger from below. Use conduit, foam, or proper cable lugs and glands to pre-
vent animals from entering the AC or Ethernet cable inlets. (Reference Section 3.2 for feeder specifications)
4.4 Internet connection
The preferred method of communication is the wireless 4G modem integrated into the charger. A customer
SIM card is not required. A subscription for the SIM card is provided by ABB for select countries.
If there is no wireless signal available, a standard wired internet connection is required. (Reference Section
3.1, 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 for wiring and connection methods)
• The connection must be available for the ABB service engineer and the NOC (Network Operation
Center).
• Please contact ABB (800.825.2556 option 2) for a specific configuration.
If a separate internet connection is not used, please ensure the cable entry hole is closed to retain the IP54
grade of the cabinet and prevent insects and small animals from entering the cabinet.
