3 Installation guidelines
3.1 General criteria for the site selection
The charging station was constructed for the indoor and outdoor area. Accordingly it is necessary to ensure
the installation conditions and the protection of the device at the installation site.
● Take into account the local electrical installation regulations, fire prevention measures and accident pre-
vention regulations as well as emergency routes at this site.
● The charging station must not be installed in potentially explosive zones (Ex environment).
● Mount the charging station so that it is not located in the direct flow of passersby and so that no one can
trip over connected charging cables and so that the charging cables do not cover or cross passing
pedestrian and motorized traffic.
● Do not install the charging station at locations where it is exposed to ammonia or ammonia gas (e.g. in
or at stables).
● The mounting surface must be sufficiently stable in order to withstand the mechanical forces.
● Do not install the charging station at locations where falling objects could damage the device (e.g. hung
up ladders or automobile tires).
● According to the product standard, the charging station must be located at a height between 0.4 m and
1.5 m.
We recommend mounting the charging station (height of the socket or parking bay) at a height of 1.2 m.
Observe that national regulations can limit this height.
● The device must not be exposed to direct spray water (e.g. neighboring manual car wash facility, high-
pressure cleaner, garden hose).
● The device should be protected against direct rain as far as possible to prevent icing, hail damage or
similar.
● The device should be mounted so that it is protected from direct sunlight as far as possible to prevent re-
duction of the charging current or interruption of the charging due to excessive temperatures of the
charging station components.
● When set up unprotected against the weather (e.g. outside at a parking space), the charging current
specification is reduced to 16 A if the maximum permitted temperature is exceeded. The charging proce-
dure can also subsequently be switched off.
● For information about environmental conditions, please refer to the Chapter "↪ 5.5 Technical data
[40]".
Observe the internationally valid installation standards (e.g. IEC 60364-1 and IEC 60364-5-52) and
comply with the nationally applicable installation standards and regulations.
