If no damage is noticed, proceed to next step,
If damage is noticed, call 1-888-GE-RESOLVE.
SStteepp 44:: Locate area (concrete pad/ floor) for
EVSE unit
SStteepp 55:: Install two conduits, one for power
(minimum 1” Conduit), and one for communication
(minimum 3/4” Conduit). Both Conduits should fit
Within a 4.75” diameter.
Allow approximately 4” length for each conduit above the concrete level as shown in Figure 1.
Cut as necessary to final dimensions. Route power conduit and communication conduit through the center of the concrete bed, appropriately. Make sure that, concrete top surface and EVSE unit bottom dome baseplate are flushed and parallel to flat ground surface.
