Mounting the unit
The Ohme ePod is designed to be wall mounted to a flat surface. Fixings are included which are
suitable for most wall surfaces (e.g. brick/render) but the installer should select their own if these
are not appropriate.
Use the drill template provided with a 7mm masonry drill bit. Mount the rear of the ePod using four
screws. Where the surface is uneven, it is essential that the rear of the ePod is not twisted when
secured to the wall. It may be necessary to add spacers between the unit and the wall to avoid
twisting the unit, otherwise the unit may not seal correctly.
To avoid breaking the plastic screws, do not use a power tool when securing the front to the rear.
Check there are no gaps around the join line that could allow water ingress. Finally, attach the
rubber covers to the front plastic screws.
Electrical connection
The overall installation must be compliant with the IET Wiring Regulations and the IET Code of
Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment. Installation should be carried out by a competent
electrician with knowledge of EV charge point installations.
The ePod has a terminal block for Live, Neutral and Earth. The terminal block can accept a 6mm
2
conductor. There are cable entry points at the bottom and rear. A 25mm gland and a blanking
grommet is provided. The blanking grommet is attached to the rear entry hole. If feeding the cable
in from the rear, it will be necessary to move the grommet to the bottom.
Installer Mode
On first power up, the ePod will be in installer mode allowing the setting of the maximum rating,
enabling load balancing and the setting the fuse rating using the buttons. See the ePod Quick Set Up
Guide. However, we recommend that the Ohme Installer Web App is used. Contact the customer
care team at help@ohme-ev.com to get set up.
