Installation and User Guide
Model No: EVCC-DP-101-SP50
Installation - EVCC evSmartPlug Mounting
As mentioned, there are many other mounting solutions for the EVCC, such as on a 5 x 5 fence post, but these instructions assume the EVCC will be mounted with an interior, dual, 50amp, NEMA 14-50 receptacle kit on a wall. This section describes the steps necessary to mount the system to a wall.
Follow These Steps
Follow the steps below to mount the EVCC to a wall. You will need the EVCC evSmartPlug, 4 x mounting tabs and 16 x stainless-steel mounting screws, and the Receptacle Kit. For tools you will need a drill, wood or concrete drill bit with a diameter slightly smaller than the screw width, level, tape measurer, Philips-head screwdriver, and pencil.
Concrete Wall Installation
If you're mounting the EVCC to a concrete wall, it is recommended to swap out the stainless steel screws with similar sized concrete screws.

Sheetrock Wall Installation
If mounting to a sheetrock wall, it is recommended to first install a 4' x 3' piece of 1/2in plywood to the area where the EVCC will be mounted ensuring that the plywood is screwed to wall studs. This way, the EVCC can be easily and securely mounted in the exact needed location on the wall. Be sure to center the plywood inline where you want the EVCC positioned.

NOTE: Be sure to check with local code to ensure proper mounting distance from the ground to the location of the power receptacles.

Prior to performing the next mounting steps, fasten the included mounting tabs using the included flat-head mounting screws to the contactor junction box as shown. These tabs will be used to mount the junction box portion of the EVCC after the upper portion of the unit is hung on a wall.
2
Using the Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the aluminum mounting plate from the back of the EVCC. It can now be used as a template for the mounting screw holes on the wall.
Determining the distance from the ground to the bottom of the EVCC to mount the unit. Using the pencil and level, draw a horizontal line at on the wall approximately 60 inches from the ground at the location you wish to mount the unit. Ideally, the unit should be mounted between two parking spaces.
Align, with one hand, the top of the mounting plate on the previously drawn horizontal line centered to the wall. Using the other hand and the pencil, mark a circular pattern within the tear-drop holes of the mounting plate on the wall where the mounting screw holes should be drilled.

Using the drill and a bit that is slightly smaller in diameter than the stainless steel mounting screw thread, carefully drill out the holes on the wall.
Using the Phillips-head screw driver, screw in each of the 4 mounting screws into the holes. Be sure to leave about a 1/4 inch gap between the screw head and the wall.
NOTE: the horizontal distance between the screw holes should be 60mm on center, while the vertical distance should be 170.5mm.

Re-attach the mounting plate to the back of the EVCC. Be sure not to tighten the screws too tight where they will bend the aluminum. Now mount the EVCC to the wall by inserting the plate over the screw heads into the larger portion of the teardrop openings. Then, slide the EVCC downward to fasten the unit securely.
If the unit is too loose, remove the device and tighten the screws a bit more and try again.
NOTE: The lower portion of the EVCC (contactor junction box) will hang allowing mounting in the subsequent steps.

Using the level, ensure that the contactor junction box is perfectly parallel and level with the ground.
With the pencil, mark the 4 mounting screw holes in the tabs where the screws should be fastened.

With the drill and drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw threads, drill a starter hole in the 4 marked tab locations.
With the Phillips-head screwdriver, tightly screw 4 stainless steel screws into the 4 drilled out mounting holes to secure the contactor junction box to the wall.

Remove the cover of the right and left-side receptacle boxes by unscrewing the 2 Phillips-head screws.
Pull the cover away from the box so that the mounting holes are exposed.

Using the level, ensure that the right-side receptacle box is perfectly parallel and level with the ground. The on-center measurement from the receptacle to the ground should be about 40 inches from the floor.
With the pencil, mark the 3 mounting screw holes in the receptacle box as shown where the screws should be fastened.

With the Phillips-head screwdriver, tightly screw 3 stainless steel screws into the 3 drilled out mounting holes to secure the receptacle box to the wall.
Now, re-fasten the receptacle cover to complete the mounting. Perform steps 7-9 to the right-side receptacle box.
