7. Plan The Mounting Location
WARNING: In regions prone to frequent thunderstorms, it is
recommended to install surge protection at the service panel for all
circuits. Additionally, ensure that all power and ground connections,
especially those at the breaker and bus bar, are clean and securely
tightened.
CAUTION: Not recommended to be installed in coastal environments
with high humidity or high dust.
CAUTION: For reliable performance, ensure the device is installed
near the WiFi router to guarantee a strong signal and stable Internet
access. Please plan the device's location accordingly, avoiding
surfaces that may obstruct the WiFi signal.
Select the appropriate mounting location with electrical capacity sufficient for the
EVIQO Smart EV Charger operation:
A. Please ensure you have chosen a
mounting location which allows the
charging cable to reach the car’s
charging port while still providing
reasonable slack. The cable length is 25
ft (7.62 m).
B. For plug-in installation: please check the
position of your NEMA 14-50 outlet and
preferable place for mounting the EVIQO Smart EV Charger before mounting the
device or the holster. Please ensure you have chosen a mounting location which allows
the input power cable with NEMA 14-50 plug to effectively reach the NEMA 14-50
outlet. Ensure the input power cable has a slight curve and is not stretched. The input
power cable length is 37” (95 cm) which gives sufficient flexibility in choosing the
mounting location for the EV Charger. We recommend installing the EV Charger on a
distance of around 27.6”-31.5” (70 cm - 80 cm) from the NEMA 14-50 outlet.
C. For hardwired installation: please check a mounting location which allows to effectively
hardwire the EV Charger. Note the distance to the breaker panel and/or the junction
box. The hardwire version of EVIQO Smart EV Charger comes with a 39” (around 100
cm) 3-wire whip with liquid tight fitting and conduit. If you hardwire a plug-in version of
EVIQO Smart EV Charger - plan your mounting location based on your custom wiring.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: If the status light indicators turn on
when the EV charger is plugged in, the circuit is not off. STOP
IMMEDIATELY. Unplug EVIQO EV charger and switch off the power to
the outlet at the circuit breaker until the installation is complete.
D. Ground connection for plug-in installation: make sure the ground in your NEMA 14-50
