To install the LECTRON J1772 32A Level 2 EV Charger, it is recommended that you hire a licensed and qualified electrician. The installation should comply with the provisions of the National Electric Code (NEC) and all local codes. If there is any conflict between the local codes and the NEC, the local codes should take precedence.

Here are some key points to consider during installation:

1. Grounding: The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger comes with a cord equipped with a grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Make sure to insert the plug into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded according to local codes and ordinances.

2. Safety Precautions: Read the warnings on the charger cord label before using the charger for the first time. Also, read all the instructions provided in the user manual before operating the charger.

3. Power Requirements: The charger requires a circuit with 40 amps maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection. Ensure that the input/output voltage ranges from 100V to 250V, and the frequency is 50/60 Hz.

4. Cable Length and Connectors: The charger comes with a 16 ft cable (18 ft total reach) and is equipped with a NEMA 14-50 plug for the power source and an SAE-J1772 connector for the EV.
