Secure the charger to the wall by screwing screws included in the package on making points which were made previously.

Trim the sealing plug to match the diameter of the cable.

Secure the cable by screwing in both screws of the cable fixer (0,8 Nm). The placement of cable fixing is related to the cable feed option chosen at the beginning.

If the cable fixing is too big for the diameter, flip it around.

Bottom feed:

Use the cable-fixing on the bottom.

  • Several cars on the market may be damaged when charging with 3-phases on IT/TT grid. 3-phase charging on IT/TT networks is therefore limited in software to only 1 phase out.

We recommend that 3-phase IT/TT systems are connected as 3-phase to enable dynamic load & phase balancing and to enable possible future functionality.


Secure the cables by closing all levers of the knife connectors and closing the lid on the module.
