The Wall Charger Connect is designed for installation
indoors and outdoors. The following criteria must be
considered when selecting a suitable installation
location:
– If possible, install the connection and the Wall
Charger Connect in a covered area away from
direct sunlight and rain (e.g. in a garage). Direct
sunlight can lead to a reduced charging power or
cause the charging process to be switched off.
– Do not install the Wall Charger Connect under
hanging objects.
– Do not install the Wall Charger Connect in
stables, livestock buildings or locations where
ammonia gases occur. Also, do not operate the
charger in these locations.
– Install the Wall Charger Connect on a smooth
surface.
– The Wall Charger Connect is designed for
installation on walls. In order to ensure secure
fastening, check the condition of the wall before
installation. Make sure that the wall on which the
Wall Charger Connect is to be installed is
sufficiently stable to hold 88 lbs (40 kg) in
weight.
– Install the Wall Charger Connect as close as
possible to the preferred parking position for the
vehicle. Take the orientation of the vehicle into
account.
– Install the Wall Charger Connect so that it is not
near pathways and the cables do not cross any
pathways.
– Please note: When charging with high currents,
the Wall Charger Connect can heat up. Make sure
that the Wall Charger Connect is installed in a
well-ventilated place.
– The Wall Charger Connect has a charging cable
measuring 14.8 feet (4.5 m). Make sure that you
can reach the charging socket of your vehicle
without putting tension on the cable.
– Make sure that the Wall Charger Connect is
installed such that the parking position of the
charging plug is between 2 feet and 4 feet
(60 cm and 120 cm) above the ground.
