3.2 Preparing for Installation
3.2.1 Installation Requirements
Install the charger on a flat and vertical surface capable of supporting its weight (e.g., a finished
wall or pedestal). The maximum weight of the charger is approximately 20.7 lbs. (9.4 kg).
Install the charger in a location that allows the charging cable to remain within its bending
tolerance.
Position the charger in a location where it is not vulnerable to being damaged.
Ensure the electrical panel supports a 240 V dedicated circuit with a new, dedicated, and non-GFCI
two-pole circuit breaker, in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
The recommended installation height for the charger is between 33.5 and 45.3 inches (850 to 1150
mm). The minimum outdoor installation height is 24 inches (600 mm) and that of indoor is 18
inches (450 mm). For ADA accessibility, mount the charger at a height of 27.6 – 33.5 inches (700 –
850 mm).
CAUTION
A supplement surge protection breaker must be installed at the service panel if
the installation area experiences frequent thunderstorms.
ATTENTION
Un disjoncteur supplémentaire de protection contre les surtensions doit être
installé sur le panneau de service si la zone d'installation connaît des orages
fréquents.
