This document provides the installation instructions for the Scanstrut Nest 3 Coil 15W wireless charger (Model SC-CW-6GT). The installation requires cutting a hole in the mounting surface, drilling pilot holes, sealing the unit, and connecting it to a 12V or 24V DC power supply. Ensure you read the important safety information leaflet before beginning the installation.
Installation Steps
- Cut out template: Mark the cutting boundary using the provided template.
- Cut the hole: Use a jig saw inside the cutting boundary. Do not exceed the boundary area.
- Drill holes: Use the template to drill 4 pilot holes and the required hole saw cuts (refer to the drill table for specific bit sizes).
- Seal and secure: Apply silicone sealant generously around the flange. Secure the pocket in place using 4 countersunk screws. Apply silicone sealant to the fixing holes.
- Attach bezel: Attach the front bezel and secure it in place using 2 pan head fixings.
- Connect wires: Connect wires or connectors to a 12/24V supply, ensuring a waterproof connection. Fuse according to input voltage and current.
Drilling and Mounting
The installation requires specific drill sizes depending on the material of the mounting surface:
- Soft Material (e.g., plywood): Use a 2.5mm (3/32") drill bit. Use No.6 screws (included).
- Hard Material (e.g., fiberglass, hardwoods, acrylics): Use a 3mm (1/8") drill bit. Use No.6 screws (included).
- Metal (e.g., Steel, aluminium): Use a 3mm (1/8") drill bit. Use >12mm x M3 Countersunk Bolt with washer and Nyloc (not included).
Optional drainage can be installed by drilling a 5mm (0.2") hole and attaching an 8mm (5/16") ID drain tube.

Practical help
Common problems
Red LED is flashing
Check for metallic objects on the charger (foreign object detection) or wait for the device to cool down if the temperature is too high (thermal cutout).
Before use
- Verify input voltage is 10-30V DC.
- Ensure you have the correct drill bit size based on the material (Soft, Hard, or Metal).
- Check that the mounting surface is suitable for the cutout dimensions.
- Prepare silicone sealant for a waterproof installation.
- Ensure you have a 12V or 24V DC power supply available.
