This guide shows how to install and activate Zaptec Go. It is however not a copy of the installation manual and we recommend using the manual during setup. Download the installation manual here.
- The installation must be done by an authorized installer
- Zaptec Go needs an upstream circuit breaker and RCD Type A.
Physical installation
Zaptec Go has built-in protection against DC ground fault (DC protection 6mA), but there is a requirement that both the charger and circuit breaker is protected against AC ground fault. Therefore, you need to have en Type A earth fault circuit breaker mounted in front.
1. Mount the charging station. Remove the front cover and make sure it's straight and at the appropriate height. Minimum 0,9 m from the ground.
2. Connect the power cable (max 6mm2) to the charger. Carefully pull the terminal cover downwards to remove it. The cover is much easier to remove if you gently press on the retaining tab while pulling downwards.
3. Connect all wires and firmly press down all levers. When the wires are safely attached, replace the terminal cover and turn on the circuit breaker.
If you are installing the charger on a 3-phase IT or TT gird ( 230V), be sure to check whether the car supports 3-phase charging or not. More information here.
4. Turn on the fuse. The status indicator will be orange.
This means it is ready to be configured in the app.

If you installed the charger with your Zaptec account, you will be able to access the charger in the Zaptec Portal after it has been registered by the owner.
User setup in app
Once an authorized electrician has finished the installation, the customer will be able to register and activate the charger in the Zaptec app. This should be done by the owner of the charger.
1. Open the app and log in with your Zaptec account
2. From Home, click the "Add new" button
3. Scan the QR code and enter your PIN code. This is found in the user manual
4. Add the address and name of your charger. This is particularly important if you have
more than one Zaptec Go
When this is done, the charger will automatically be added to the Zaptec Portal.
Install multiple chargers
You can install up to three Zaptec Go chargers per installation.
- Each Zaptec Go requires one circuit breaker and RCD Type A mounted in front
- The circuit breaker must be equal in value on installations with several chargers
- The chargers will be able to communicate through the cloud
When rotating phases on a 3-phase installation, you must use the Zaptec app to specify which incoming phase (L1, L2, or L3) is connected to the phase 1 terminal on the charger. This can only be done via the Install Zaptec Go journey in the Zaptec app.

For the installer, the installation journey in the app is the same regardless of the number of chargers.

1. Open the app and log in with your Zaptec account
2. From Chargers, click the "Add new" button
3. Scan the QR code on the Zaptec Go charger to start connecting the second charger
4. Link the charging station to an existing address in the app. If you are adding a third charger, repeat from step 1.
