Troubleshooting

  • Supports fast charging (PD and QC protocols)
  • Slim, contemporary design
  • Easy-to-wire angled terminals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET wiring regulations.

  1. Ensure the power is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning.
  2. Verify the wall box has a minimum depth of 35mm; if the existing box is shallower, it must be replaced with a 35mm deep box.
  3. Utilize the colour-coded terminals for straightforward wiring.
  4. Ensure the twin earth wires are correctly connected to the high-integrity earth terminals.

For ongoing care, clean the front plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents that may damage the Evolve range's finish.
