Additional Instructions for Plug-In EVSE Configurations
•
240V plugs are specifically designed for occasional
relocation, such as moving from one home to another home.
•
For personal safety, the circuit breaker MUST be turned off
prior to plugging in AND/OR unplugging 240V appliances
(including this EVSE).
•
The high-quality industrial grade dedicated NEMA outlet
receptacle listed to UL 498 (US) and C22.2 No. 182.3-16
(Canada) standards must be used with your plug type EVSE
if supplied with the product.
•
Check the receptacle and plug have a tight fit prior to use.
Do not use this EVSE with an extension cord or wall plug
•
adapter. Plug this EVSE directly into the receptacle. We
recommend that plug-in EVSEs remain plugged into the
receptacle.
•
Have an electrician verify all wiring to the outlet is correct
and in compliance with local code requirements before
connecting the EVSE.
•
A worn or defective receptacle can cause the plug to overheat
and become a fire hazard. Periodically touch the plug surface
during charge session to see if it is hot to touch. If so, we
recommend an electrician check the connection tightness and
replace the receptacle .
•
Ensure that the EVSE is mounted to the wall or placed on a
support so it does not hang from the receptacle. Receptacles
are not designed to support the weight of the EVSE.
•
The EVSE shall be installed so that the power supply cord
does not contact the floor when plugged into the outlet.
