6. Installing to the Premise Step 2: Align the provided mounting hardware with the holes as
shown in Figure 5.
The three typical installation methods of installing Eaton's AC Level
2 EVSE’s to the premise are found below. Some installations require
installing the wall-mount style of EVSE to a wall or unistrut.

Choosing a Location

 IMPORTANT
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING A LOCATION TO MOUNT THE
UNIT:
1. STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE DESIGN.
2. CONSULTATION WITH AN ARCHITECT MAY BE NEEDED IN ORDER
TO CONFORM TO ALL GOVERNING STANDARDS FOR LOCATION AND
PLACEMENT OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE SUPPLY EQUIPMENT.
3. LOCATION OF AN AVAILABLE MOUNTING SUPPORT - THE WALL-
MOUNT UNIT MUST BE ANCHORED INTO A MOUNTING SUPPORT

FROM THE CIRCUIT PANEL TO THE UNIT.
5. LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE'S CHARGING INLET WHILE PARKED
-- THE UNIT MUST BE LOCATED SO ITS RESPECTIVE CABLE LENGTH
IS CORRECTLY SIZED TO WHERE THE VEHICLE'S INLET IS
ACCESSIBLE FOR PLUG-IN WITHOUT UNDUE MANEUVERING.
6. HEIGHT OF THE CONNECTOR DOCK MUST BE BETWEEN 24 AND 48
INCHES WHEN INSTALLED TO COMPLY WITH ADA AND NEC
STANDARDS.
7. COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTIVITY -- ENSURE EVSE WITH WI-FI
CAPABILITY ARE WITHIN 1000FT LINE OF SIGHT FROM THE
WIRELESS ACCESS POINT. ENSURE EVSE WITH CELLULAR
COMMUNICATION CAPABILITY ARE INSTALLED IN AREAS WITH
A SIGNAL STRENGTH ABOVE -85DBM.

Mounting to a Wall
Attaching the Cord Hanger
Step 1: Open the door to the EVSE (see Instructions for
Opening Door Latch above) and locate the 2 holes at
the base of the door shown in Figure 4.

Preparing the Site
Once a proper site has been chosen and the electrical service has
been run to the location, you can begin installation.

 CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT UNIT TO ONLY STUCCO/DRYWALL/WALLBOARD. DO NOT
USE TOGGLE BOLTS, ZIP ANCHORS, NOR PLASTIC WALL ANCHORS MEANT
FOR THESE MATERIALS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH
NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE UNIT. THE UNIT MUST BE MOUNTED TO A
SOLID SUPPORT SUCH AS: WOOD, CONCRETE WALL, CONCRETE BLOCK
WALL, OR EQUIVALENT.

Step 1: Remove the mounting plate from the back of the EVSE unit
by placing the unit on a solid non-scratch surface and open-
ing the unit by turning the latch on the side. Remove the
three nuts on the 10-32 studs that attach the mounting plate
to the unit. The location of these mounting studs can be
seen in Figure 7. Save these nuts and washers as they will
be needed to re-attach the unit later in the installation.
Step 2: Using the mounting plate as a template, mark the holes to
be used for mounting. Make sure the mounting plate is
level. If mounting on a wood stud wall use the two center
holes. If mounting on a solid wall such as concrete, brick, or
concrete block, use the four outside square holes.
Step 3: Pre-drill mounting holes if mounting into a wood stud or drill
appropriate sized holes in a solid wall for use with the type
of anchor you will be using.
Step 4: Attach mounting plate to the wall as shown in Figure 8. If
installing on a wood stud, use 5/16” or 3/8” x 3” long Lag
screws and washers. These should be galvanized or stain-
less steel for weather protection if mounting outdoors. If
mounting onto a concrete, block, or brick wall, use an appro-
priate anchor for the type of wall on which you are installing
the unit. Again, these should be appropriate for weather
conditions if mounting outside.

Step 5: After the mounting plate is secure to the wall, mount the
EVSE unit to the mounting plate using the washers and nuts
removed in Step 1.
