INSTALLATION SAFETY
SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
This guide contains important instructions that must be followed during the installation of the electric ve-
hicle supply equipment (EVSE). All instructions should be carefully read before installation of the EVSE.
WARNING: Turn OFF the circuit breaker
at the service or distribution panel before
performing any electrical work or repairs.
WARNING: The EVSE should be installed by
a licensed electrician in accordance with all
local electrical codes, ordinances, and all
authorities having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Do not install the EVSE near
flammable,
explosive,
or
combustible
materials. Do not locate or store flammable,
explosive, or combustible materials near the
EVSE.
WARNING: Improper installation of the
EVSE can result in personal injury or
product damage.
WARNING: This EVSE installation guide
is not a substitute for electrical safety
precautions.
WARNING: Use this EVSE within the
specified operating parameters. Failure to
do so may result in injury or death.
WARNING: Locate and install this EVSE in
a location where the charge cable will not
be stepped on, tripped over, or subject to
damage or stress.
WARNING: The EVSE must be connected to a
grounded, metal, permanent wiring system,
or
an
equipment-grounding
conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal on the EVSE.
CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the EVSE
can result in damage to the vehicle’s battery
and to the EVSE itself. These damages will void
the warranty for the vehicle and the EVSE.
CAUTION: Do not operate the EVSE in
temperatures beyond its operating range of
-40°F to +122°F (-40°C to +50°C).

APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
IMPORTANT: The on-site service connection must
be properly identified before installation of the
EVSE. If you are unsure of the available service
connection, consult the local utility company or
contact Bosch at 1-877-805-EVSE (3873).
NOTE: The L1, L2, and ground outputs (H, N for
Europe) in the following illustrations corre-
spond to the inputs on the EVSE.
NOTE: For the (earth) ground connection, always
connect the neutral at the service panel to
earth ground. Ground fault protection is not
possible unless the neutral (center tap on
the service transformer) is connected to an
earth ground.

WARNING: The EVSE is a single-phase
device. Do not connect all three phases
of a 3-phase feed. Only three wires are
connected, take care that the service
transformer secondary connection is
known, and the three wires from the
main-panel circuit breaker are correctly
connected and labeled.
208V 3-Phase Wye Connection (North
America)
Any two of the legs can be used to provide 208V to the
EVSE with a Wye-connected secondary. For example,
L1 and L2, or L1 and L3, or L2 and L3. Reference the

WARNING: The EVSE must be installed by a
licensed electrician and in accordance with
all local electrical codes, ordinances, and all
authorities having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Do not install the EVSE near
flammable,
explosive,
or
combustible
materials. Do not locate or store flammable,
explosive, or combustible materials near the

NOTE: The third line (L3 on the illustration of the
delta) is 208V, with respect to the neutral,
and is sometimes referred to as a “stinger.”
WARNING: Do not use this third line.
NOTE: The two used phases must each measure
120V to neutral or ground.
NOTE: Consult the utility company or the trans-
former manufacturer’s literature to verify
that the single leg can supply the required
power.
NOTE: The EVSE will only operate properly if it de-
tects the presence of a ground wire con-
nected to a neutral point on the transformer
secondary.
WARNING: Do not use a 3-phase delta-
connected
transformer
secondary
without a center tap on one leg and/or
without a neutral point available for the
required ground connection.

are
correctly
connected and labeled. The following
service connections are primarily used in
Europe and Australia (sometimes known
as “TT Power Grid”). Please reference
the following diagram. The line, neutral,

correspond to the inputs on the EVSE.
WARNING: The line connection must
measure 230V RMS to neutral. Earth must
also be connected to the EVSE.

WARNING: The EVSE must be installed
by a licensed electrician in accordance
with all national and local electrical codes,
ordinances, requirements and all authorities
having jurisdiction.
The conduit may extend up to 24 in. (61 cm) from
ground level. A sweep is used to direct the circuit from
the conduit to the electric circuit from the service pan-
el. The three types of acceptable wire runs are:
•
THWN rigid metal conduit, buried 6 in. (15 cm)
below ground level, or per local electrical code.
•
THWN nonmetallic Schedule 40 or 80 conduit,
buried 18 in. (46 cm) below ground level, or
per local electrical code.
•
UF burial wire (ground solid), buried 24 in. (61
cm) below ground level, or per local electrical
code.
•
Conduit must carry conductors for both charge
stations each on a dedicated circuit breaker.

output current-limiting setting as specified in
“Figure 8. Current-Adjustment Settings”.
Figure 7. Setting the
Current-Adjustment Selector
NOTE: Positions 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 are not used (X) and
are non-operational. The EVSE will not
function under these settings.
WARNING: The EVSE setting cannot
exceed ampacity ratings of field service
wires or branch circuit protectors.
WARNING: See “output” specification
label located on the side of the EVSE
for maximum amperage setting, per
limitations of vehicle cable and coupler.
NOTE: The EVSE must be de-rated to match line
service power limitations.
CAUTION: Use 75°C (600V) approved wire,
conductor temperature at 30°C ambient in wet
or dry locations.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) Tripped
If the EVSE detects a ground fault, power will be interrupted and the STATUS LED will illuminate (red
flash with intermittent green). The EVSE will attempt to reset automatically and re-attempt charg-
ing (see note below on European models). If the fault condition persists after an initial automatic
attempt, per the code, the EVSE waits 15 minutes before a second attempt is made. A total of four
attempts will be made to restore vehicle charging. If the charging mode cannot be restored, the STA-
TUS LED will illuminate solid red, and the EVSE will stay in fault mode.
NOTE: Automatic reset feature after ground fault (STATUS LED will be solid red) does not apply to
European EVSE models. European standards dictate that user intervention is required by
pressing the master clear RESET button on the front of the EVSE housing. If ground fault
condition clears, EVSE will resume charging.
Missing Ground
If the EVSE detects a missing ground connection (rapid red flashing LED), power will be interrupted
and the EVSE will not be capable of charging vehicle until a ground connection has been detected.
Disconnect service power (breaker) and disconnect vehicle coupler from vehicle and contact a quali-
fied Bosch technician to validate the presence of a proper ground.
