    There may be situations where both ports share a main single circuit. If power capacity is limited at a site or to reduce costs for electrical infrastructure, consider ChargePoint Power Management options for power sharing at the circuit level, panel level, transformer, or site level.

  • Page 9: Charging Station Placement

    WARNING: The ChargePoint charging station must be installed on a level concrete base or a flat wall rated for the weight of the station. Asphalt cannot support the full weight of the station. Failure to install the station on a suitable surface may cause the station to tip over, resulting in death, personal injury, or property damage.
  • Page 10 Consider running raceway or conduit to all planned EV parking spots and pulling electrical wiring from the panel to meet current needs. Consider installing a dedicated electrical panel for EV charging and leveraging ChargePoint Power Management. This efficiently uses available power at a site to support more EV charging ports than...

    41 mm (1 5/8 in) channel strut. WARNING: If not installed correctly, the ChargePoint charging station may pose a fall hazard, leading to death, personal injury, or property damage. Always use the provided Concrete Mounting Template shown preinstalled here, or a ChargePoint-approved surface mounting solution, to install the ChargePoint charging station.

  • Page 22: Drainage

    Exposing the ChargePoint charging station to water above the height of the conduit stub-up could create an electrocution, shock, or fire hazard. Cut power to the charging station if it has been exposed to standing water and contact ChargePoint before the charging station is powered on.

  • Page 23: Electrical Design

    Electrical Design The CP6000 charging stations are available with a maximum amperage of either 50 A or 80 A. If the charging station allows a maximum of 50 A, Power Select current options include 16 A, 24 A, 32 A, 40 A, 48 A, and 50 A.

  • Page 24: Electrical Supply Requirements

    CP6000 pedestal mounted charging stations typically require service wiring installed underground to enter through the bottom of the station. When pulling electrical wiring for CP6000 pedestal mount, ensure at least 1.5 m (5 ft) of wire remains above grade. Conduit The outside diameter of conduit must not exceed the sizes called out in the pedestal mounting template: 95 mm (3.74 in).

  • Page 25: Grounding Requirements

    Grounding Requirements CP6000 charging stations must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system. An equipment-grounding conductor must be run with circuit conductors and connected to an equipment- grounding terminal on the charging station.

  • Page 30 If the signal strength is weaker than this, take cellular readings at the location where any cellular signal booster antennas will be installed. Ensure enough signal exists for that repeater model. Install repeaters to boost the strength of the cellular signals. Repeaters are often required when installing charging stations in an underground garage or enclosed parking structure.
  • Page 31 For other regions, or if the site does not have strong signal on these bands, contact your ChargePoint representative for additional solutions. ChargePoint strongly recommends a consultation with a cellular connectivity specialist before all installations. A consultation can verify: Service with a supported carrier on a supported LTE band...

  • Page 33: Pedestal Mount Concrete Preparation

    Use a CMT when installing charging stations on existing concrete (on an intermediate floor only). You must order the CP6000 CMT separately, with sufficient lead time before site construction. This kit ships separately from the ChargePoint CP6000 charging station.
  • Page 34 The Concrete Mounting Template kit components you need to use, the tools required, and the installation steps vary depending on the type of installation: new concrete or existing concrete. WARNING: Do not use expanding anchor bolts. Do not install the CP6000 on an asphalt surface.

    It is critical that the conduits are positioned properly and plumb. The tolerance where the conduits enter the station is 2 mm (1/16 in). Align the CP6000 CMT over the conduit stub-ups with the two bolts facing forward and the third bolt to the rear.
  • Page 37 Installation into New Concrete Slide the CP6000 CMT over the conduit stub-ups until the top surface of the template is level with the top surface of the concrete when poured. The bottom of the upper template must align with the surface of the concrete (b).
  • Page 38 Use a level to check that the CP6000 CMT is level from front to back and from side to side. Conduit height must be between 152 mm (6 in) and 590 (23-1/4 in). Each bolt must extend between 60 mm (2-1/2 in) and 100 mm (4 in) above the concrete surface.
  • Page 39 Installation into New Concrete IMPORTANT: The CP6000 CMT and the conduit must be secured in place to prevent them from moving out of position while the concrete is poured and curing. Pour the concrete. Note: Make sure the concrete surface between the conduits is completely level and free of any irregularities.

  • Page 40: Install On Existing Concrete

    If you are installing a Cable Management Kit (CMK), make sure there is adequate clearance behind the power stub-up for the CMK. To safely mount a CP6000 charging station, the concrete must be at least 150 mm (6 in) thick. At this thickness, all of the CP6000 mounting bolts must be positioned as follows:...

    Install on Existing Concrete Tools Required Electric hammer drill with 12 mm (1/2 in) or larger chuck. Consumables Required The following table lists and describes consumable items that you will need. The quantity listed in the table is based on installation of one charging station. Note: The consumption rate of these products varies depending on conditions at the installation site.

  • Page 42: Installation Instructions

    Installation Instructions Remove the lower template and all nuts and washers from below the upper template.
  • Page 43 Install on Existing Concrete Place the lower template on the concrete and mark the hole locations. When placing the template, consider the charging station’s total footprint. If installing over an existing conduit stub-up or armored cable, position the center of the template around that stub-up / cable.
  • Page 44 Leave the upper template in place. Use a bubble level to ensure the bolts are plumb. Allow the epoxy to cure (depending on cure times recommended by the epoxy manufacturer). You are now ready to install the CP6000 pedestal mount charging station.
