Hi everyone,
I am just about to get my wallbox pure installed by Schneider Electric. I had a very positive conversation with a lady Charlotte and she was kind enough to send through the technical manual for the charger - I have waited so long for this car I am ingesting any piece of new information I can find
. When I looked at the brochure I noticed throughout that it said:
I sent in my photos of where it needed to be installed — on the outside of my house next to the driveway.I signed the agreement to have the work done, and then thought I would just check if Schneider were going to take care of the weather protection. I noticed that the electrics were rated IP54 (Protected against splash water from any direction) but the box has no water protection at IP3X.
So I asked Schneider to confirm that they would provide the relevant weather protection to the box as per the technical manual. I got a response from a guy called Paul:
So I will take the response on face value, although "over 100 external installations in around 6 months" is not a huge number to derive statistics from. Interestingly when I replied saying that they should perhaps change their documentation and I would be letting the forums know that people shouldn't worry about rain damaging the charger I got radio silence...
If anyone can point me to a link on how to attach a PDF of the Wallbox Pure Operating Instructions.
Has anyone experienced any problems with their Wallbox Pure and weather conditions?

The Wallbox Pure can be installed indoors or outdoors (outdoor installation, however, requires protection from inclement weather conditions)

So I asked Schneider to confirm that they would provide the relevant weather protection to the box as per the technical manual. I got a response from a guy called Paul:
The plastic cover gives additional protection with the IP54 unit (Spray proof from all directions) being inside. We do not provide additional protection. We have over 100 external installs with no issues.
As Schneider Electric carry out the installation then the warranty would not be affected by any installation issue.
