HCS EVSE User Manual
MOUNTING PROCEDURES
Determine the wall mounting position of the EVSE:
•
On the hardwired HCS/EVSE Charger, the three service
conductors are shielded by 3' (1 m) of flexible conduit at
the bottom of the unit. The EVSE must be positioned such
that this conduit can reach a nearby junction box.
•
On the plug-in HCS/EVSE Charger, the NEMA plug head
is connected by up to 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable (including the
plug head) to the bottom side of the EVSE. The plug-in HCS
must be positioned such that this plug can
safely be inserted into a wall-mounted NEMA socket. Do not
allow the power supply cord to contact the floor when
plugged into the outlet.
•
Position the bottom of the EVSE at a comfortable height and
at least 18" (45.7 cm) above the ground for indoor
installations and 24" (61 cm) off the ground for outdoor
installations. Ensure that the LEDs on the front panel of the
EVSE can clearly be seen by the user of the device.
•
The HCS/ has two vertically aligned mounting
holes spaced 17" (43.2 cm) apart, one each on the enclosure
top and bottom. Use a ruler or template to mark hole locations
on the mounting surface.
WARNING: For safety, always turn off input power to the
EVSE at the circuit breaker panel prior to plugging it in or
wiring it to the service lines. Likewise, turn off the circuit
breaker prior to unplugging it or disconnecting the unit from
the service lines.
