2. Installation Planning and Service Wiring

WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the charging station

before installing or adjusting the charging station. Failure to do so may

result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the

charging station.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided

with the minimum branch circuit overcurrent protection requirements

in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7- and the

Canadian Electrical Safety Code, Part 1, C22.1. If you are unsure if

your circuit meets these requirements consult a licensed electrician.

2.1 Electrical Source Requirements

Prior to using Grizzl-E Mini ensure the electrical source that can support the following Input

Requirements for the Charging Station Per local Electrical Safety Code requirements:

• 208-240VAC 16A-40A or 110-120VAC 7A-12A Dedicated Circuit

• A Double Pole Circuit Breaker of the circuit rating must be used.

• Requirements govern that only 80% of the circuit rated load may be utilized.

• The Charging Stations can connect a Standard NEMA 14-50 Receptacle, or the provided

adapters can be used.

Caution: Grizzl-E Mini must use the original NEMA 14-50 plug. Do not

attempt to disassemble unit to hardwire or change the plug. Doing so

will void the warranty.

2.2 Grounding Instructions

The charging station must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent

wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor. Use a cable with a dedicated grounding

conductor connected to the equipment ground terminal block.

2.3 GFCI

• The Charger is equipped with GFCI. Additional downstream GFCI is not required.

• In locations where GFCI at the outlet is mandated by code, the charger will not experience

adverse effects.

2.4 Grizzl-E Mini Adaptive Voltage

Grizzl-E Mini can work with either a 208-240V or 110-120V dedicated circuit.

Grizzl-E Mini will automatically detect the outlet power and adjust settings when the input

cable is plugged into the outlet.

Grizzl-E Mini can work with the following adapters:

• NEMA 14-50R - NEMA 5-15P. 110-120V VAC. 15A.

• NEMA 14-50R - NEMA TT-30P. 208-240 VAC. 30A.

• NEMA 14-50R - NEMA 14-30P. 208-240 VAC 30A.

• NEMA 14-50R - NEMA 6-50P. 208-240 VAC. Max 50A.

3. Maximum Current Output

The GRIZZL-E Mini charging station features the ability to adjust the maximum current output.

Requirements govern that only 80% of the circuit-rated load may be utilized.

Maximum Current can be adjusted using Smart Features. Set the Maximum Current by DIP

Switch Settings if local electrical codes require a physical switch for maximum settings. To

change Maximum Current through Smart Features follow “Adjustments” on page 21.

3.1 Adjust Maximum Current by DIP Switches

The Grizzl-E Mini has DIP Switches to set maximum current output to 40A, 32A, 24A, or 16A.

If local electrical codes require a physical switch to govern the maximum current settings,

adjust the DIP switch settings:

1. Ensure the unit is unplugged. Secure the Charging Station on a at surface with the front

cover facing out.

2. Remove the front cover by removing the 4 screws at each corner of the charging station.

Use Phillips Head PH2 Screwdriver to remove cover screws. Place the cover to the side.

CAUTION: The LED pipe is attached to the front cover. When the

front cover is removed, place it on a flat surface facing down to avoid

damage to the LED pipe.

3. Locate the DIP switch on the charging station circuit board. The DIP switch is a 4-position

switch on the main circuit board.

DOWN UP UP UP

WARNING: Do not touch live electrical parts. Disconnect the power

supply to the charging station before adjusting the DIP Switches.

Failure to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power

supply system and the charging station.

4. Adjust the DIP Switches to 40A, 32A, 24A, or 16Ausing the following combination of DIP

Switch Settings:

Maximum Current Output Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Switch 4 DIP Switch Setting

40A Maximum Current Output

(Factory Default Setting) DOWN UP UP UP

32A Maximum Current Output DOWN UP UP

DOWN

24A Maximum Current Output DOWN DOWN UP UP

16A Maximum Current Output UP DOWN DOWN DOWN

Once the DIP Switch Setting is adjusted, reassemble the charging station. Reinstall the top

cover to the charging station using the following torque force to secure the 4 cover screws:

16 kgf-cm 13.88 lb-in PH2

TorqueScrew

4. Mounting Bracket

Before mounting, determine the location of an acceptable mounting support. All charging

station products must be anchored into a mounting support such as a 2” x 4” stud or a solid

concrete wall. DO NOT mount this unit directly to a stucco/drywall/wallboard.

1. Secure the back piece of the mounting bracket to the wall or other suitable structure using

the Mounting screws.

Mount the unit at least 18in (460mm) above floor level. The charging station should be less

than 24in (610mm) from the NEMA 14-50 outlet. The NEMA 14-50 outlet should be located in

compliance with all applicable local electrical safety codes and standards.

2. Side the Mini Grizzl-E down into the mounting bracket. Slide the Grizzl-E Mini up out of the

mounting bracket for a portable charger.

5. EasyEvPlug Holster and Cable Management System

The EasyEVPlug™ Holster or Tesla EasyEVPlug™ Holster is the new innovative method to

protect your plug and manage your cord. It has the following features:

• No need to aim – flawless plug even in the dark.

• Your EV holster will always be in a convenient location.

• Saves space – special angle for less wall clearance.

• Integrated cable management – holds up to 25 feet of cable.

The EasyEvPlug holster can be installed at any location near the charging station.

1. Hold the back of the holster against the

mounting surface. Fasten Phillips head screws

through back holes. Use anchors if attaching

directly to drywall.

2. Insert the charging connector into the holster.

3. Wrap cable on top of EasyEvPlug.

6.3 Self-Monitoring and Recovery (Auto Restart)

When a charging session is interrupted due to a temporary error condition, it will

automatically restart charging when the cause of the temporary error condition returns to

normal. The status indicator lights remain flashing RED, with the number of flashes indicating

the error condition, until the error condition is resolved.

• All error conditions can Self-Recover if the error condition is cleared.

• The charging session will be stopped when the error condition occurs. The charger will

self-monitor the error condition. The charger will automatically reset if the error condition

is cleared in 60 seconds. If the error condition is not cleared the charger will continue to

display a RED error light.

• If the error condition occurs within 5 seconds of the start of a charging session a

permanent fault will trigger.

6.2 LED Fault Indicator

When Grizzl-E Mini experiences an error, the red light will ash, and the buzzer will beep a

specic number of times. The cycle will pause for 1 second and repeat. The number of red

ashes and beeps indicates the type of fault:
