Installation Instructions

Installation Prerequisites

OVERVIEW

JuiceBox requires either a hardwired electrical connection, NEMA 6-50 outlet, or a NEMA 14-50 outlet.

The JuiceBox power supply must be connected to a circuit breaker that is rated for at least 125% of the device’s continuous load.

NOTE: Ensure that all power connection wiring conforms to the rules and regulations of any national and local codes.

LOCATION

WARNING: This device shall be mounted at a sufficient height from grade such that the height of the storage means for the coupling device is located between 18 inches (1.5 feet) and 48 inches (4 feet) from grade.

When selecting a location to install the hardwire connection or outlet, keep in mind that JuiceBox should be positioned:

  • Within reach of the vehicle's charge port
  • If applicable, within range of a cellular connection or the local Wi-Fi network.

WIRING AND CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

For additional specifications, refer to the Specifications section.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code and CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.

Recommend Wiring #8 or 10AWG at 75°C or 90°C respectively or larger gauge copper wires for the conductors per NEC ARTICLE 310 Table 310.16 #8AWG at 75°C or 90°C or larger gauge copper wires for the conductors per NEC ARTICLE 310 Table 310.16 #6AWG at 75°C or 90°C or larger gauge copper wires for the conductors per NEC ARTICLE 310 Table 310.16

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor is able to result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Installation

Fully read and understand the directions before installation. Refer to IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this document.

The JuiceBox is intended to be mounted to a solid surface using the included mounting screws and wall bracket.

  1. Turn off the circuit breaker to the NEMA 14-50 outlet, NEMA 6-50 outlet, or hardwired electrical connection.
         WARNING: Do not continue this installation until the circuit breaker is turned off.
  1. Use a stud sensor to determine an appropriate mounting location, then use the 2 screws to secure the wall bracket.
     
  2. Insert the enclosure screws into the enclosure, as shown. Tighten the screws until approximately 2 mm of thread are visible.
  3. Hang the JuiceBox onto the wall bracket.
    NOTE: If the JuiceBox does not hang securely, adjust the screws that were installed in step 3. Few JuiceBox models are hardwire only and do not have a plug as shown.
  4. Connect the JuiceBox:
    • Plug-In Version: Plug the JuiceBox into the NEMA 14-50 outlet or NEMA 6-50 outlet. 
      NOTE: The power cord should be routed in a way that it does not contact the floor once the JuiceBox is installed.
    • 1-Phase Hardwired Version: Connect the harness to a junction box.
      WARNING: It is the installers responsibility to ensure that the JuiceBox is wired in accordance with the local electrical code.
      NOTE: The hardwire versions of the JuiceBox are shipped with appropriate wires that meet the National Electric Code (NEC) NFPA 70 and require a nearby junction box connection. Any alteration of the supplied wiring will invalidate the warranty and may not conform to NEC.

  5. Turn on the circuit breaker that supplies power to the NEMA 14-50 outlet, NEMA 6-50 outlet, or hardwired electrical connection.

Load Balancing

  • Only balance to the circuit level.

  • Only balance stations with the same specifications.

  • Balancing specifications cannot exceed the rated continuous load of the circuit. (50 amp circuit = 40 amp continuous load allowed) (NEC 625.41 & 42) 2017 code.

  • Per NEC 625.42 additional outlets per circuit can be added due to the JuiceNet Automated Load Management System.
