Wiring
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor is able to result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For safe use of electricity, please add circuit breaker protection in the input
part of charging pile . Connect the L1 wire to the grid L1, connect the L2
wire to the grid L2, connect the PE wire to the grid PE (for all Version).
