3.3 Preparing for Installation
3.3.1 Location
Install the charger on a flat and vertical surface capable of supporting its weight (e.g.,
a finished wall or pedestal). The maximum weight of a MaxiCharger AC Lite is
approximately 15 lbs. (7 kg).
Install the charger in a location that allows the charging cable to remain within its
bending tolerance.
Position the charger in a location where it is not vulnerable to being damaged.
3.3.2 Positioning
1. Determine the desired charging amperage and whether the desired circuit rating
requires a hardwired circuit. Choose based on the electrical capacity in the panel,
the desired speed of charging, and whether the user prefers a NEMA plug-in or
hardwired installation.

IMPORTANT
In Canada, a NEMA plug-in installation is only allowed with a 50 amp circuit.
The MaxiCharger AC Lite can also be wired for higher amperages. Consult all
applicable codes for breaker and wire sizing requirements. The field-wiring terminal
is rated to 105 °C and accepts a maximum of 6 AWG (16 mm²) wire.

2. For NEMA plug-in installation, determine the purchased plug type, either a NEMA 6-
50 or 14-50 plug.
3. Ensure the electrical panel supports a 240 V dedicated circuit with a new, dedicated,
and non-GFCI two-pole circuit breaker, in accordance with local codes and
ordinances.
