    For stall parking, ChargePoint prefers using perpendicular parking stalls to better accommodate vehicles with front and rear charge ports. Note: While ChargePoint tests charging stations with a majority of upcoming vehicles, ChargePoint cannot guarantee the port locations of future vehicles and cannot warrant the configurations proposed will work for all vehicles.

  • Page 11: Additional Considerations

    Charging Station Placement Size all conduit and electrical wiring in accordance with all local code requirements. ChargePoint recommends using a certified electrician to evaluate available capacity and identify any upgrades that may be required. If a dedicated EV electrical panel is required, choose a panel location in close proximity to the existing electrical supply.

  • Page 13: Civil And Mechanical Design

    Civil and Mechanical Design Use the guidance below to design the civil and mechanical aspects of the site. The station can be installed attached to a wall or on a concrete pedestal. The pedestal can be a newly poured pad or an existing concrete surface. Wall Mount Stations For wall mounted stations, the wall must be smooth, stable, plumb and sturdy.

    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. Always install in accordance with applicable codes and standards using licensed professionals.

    Accessibility The CP4000 charging cable is centered at 1143 mm for pedestal installations to meet accessibility needs. If your installation must comply with disability access regulations, consider this height when designing the height of the pad or when planning a wall-mounted installation. Also consider site design factors such as placement of pedestals or other vehicle obstacles.

  • Page 21: Electrical Design

    Consult national and local codes or a project engineer to determine the grade, quality, and size of the conduit or cable. The CP4000 Concrete Mount Kit accommodates service wiring through the flare, conduit, or locally appropriate wiring method.

  • Page 22: Wiring Requirements

    When pulling electrical for wall mounted stations, the conduit and wire must be brought to the location where the stations will be mounted. Flex conduit may be used to bring the wire to the station. The CP4000 has two M32L cable glands in the bottom of the charging station and two rubber knockouts in the rear. For wall mounted installations, the cable can be brought in from the rear or bottom of the station.

    To power a dual-port station using a single power cable, use the Cable Share Jumper. The L1 to L1 Cable Share Jumper is included with the CP4000. The L1 to L2 Cable Share Jumper is an alternative and is sold separately.

  • Page 25: Meeting Power Supply Requirements

    Meeting Power Supply Requirements Meeting Power Supply Requirements The charging station is designed for connection to and operation on rated voltages of 230 V (phase- neutral) or 400 V (phase-phase) at 50 Hz. Comply to all regulatory requirements for low voltage installations according to IEC 60364-1 and IEC 60364-5-52.

  • Page 26: Grounding Requirements

    Ensure the grounding conductor complies with all applicable codes. Cellular Connectivity Cellular connectivity is required for all CP4000 installations. The CP4000 includes a 3G cellular modem (with 2G backup) for wide area networking. It supports these bands: UMTS/HSPA/3G/WCDMA Band: 800/850/900/1900/2100 MHz 2G/GSM/GPRS Band: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz The charging station should be located where cellular signal levels are optimal for 3G.

    The required kit components, required tools, and installation steps vary depending on the type of installation. Note: UNIMI manufactures and sells precast concrete and plastic foundations. ChargePoint approves installing CP4000 charging stations on precast UNIMI concrete or plastic foundations, according to the instructions UNIMI provides. Contact your ChargePoint sales representative if you have questions.

  • Page 28: Installation Overview

    Installation on New Concrete Before casting new concrete, review the site for suitability to install a CP4000. The CP4000 requires space behind the conduit stub-up for the Cable Management Kit (CMK), if applicable. To ensure adequate clearance, refer to the illustrations below and to the CP4000 Mounting Template included in the Pedestal Mount Kit.

  • Page 29: Tools Needed

    The conduit must not exceed a maximum of 45 mm in diameter and extend 660 mm above the concrete. The service wiring must extend 1.5 m above the concrete surface. Tools Needed In addition to the items in the CP4000 Pedestal Mount Kit, you also need: M16 spanner wrench Digging shovel with steel scoop Spirit level...
  • Page 30 Install two nuts, with two washers captured between them, onto each of the three bolts, as illustrated. Lock them together so the lower end of the upper nut is located 165 mm from the bottom of the bolt. This sets the length of the exposed threads. Insert the four bolts through the wooden template.

  • Page 31: Installation Instructions

    Installation on New Concrete On the bottom end of each bolt, install a nut, a washer, and a nut. Lock the two nuts together so that the lower nut aligns to the bottom of the bolt. This provides retention for the bolt in the concrete. Installation Instructions Pour the concrete into the hole you prepared.

  • Page 32: Complete After Concrete Cures

    IMPORTANT: Rotate the bolts as you insert them. This allows the concrete to fully coat the threads of the bolts, reducing the amount of trapped air. Retighten the hexagon nuts to the template. Remove any boards or shims supporting the mounting template. Leave the mounting template in place until the concrete is fully cured.

  • Page 33: Installing On Existing Concrete

    You are now ready to install the CP4000 pedestal mount charging station. Installing on Existing Concrete If installing on existing concrete, review the site for suitability to install a CP4000. The CP4000 requires space behind the power stub-up for the pedestal and (optional) CMK. To ensure adequate space, refer to the CP4000 Installation Template included in the Concrete Mounting kit.

  • Page 34: Tools And Consumables Required

    ChargePoint recommends creating a rigid template based on the paper template to position the bolts. Tools and Consumables Required Quantity Description Purpose CP4000 Pedestal Mount Kit or equivalent Mounting hardware: nuts, bolts, and parts washers, plus the mounting template. Electric drill or hammer drill (a 12 mm chuck Drill holes in existing concrete.
  • Page 35 Installing on Existing Concrete Use the Installation Template to mark the hole locations.
  • Page 36 Remove the template and drill four 25 mm diameter holes 165 mm deep into the concrete. When locating the template, consider the station’s total footprint. For reference, a template is included in the Concrete Mounting kit. Bolts must be parallel after installation. Therefore, ensure drill holes are plumb by using a bubble level to check the angle of the drill after drilling 25-30 mm.

  • Page 37: Complete After Concrete Cures

    Adjust the remaining nuts and washers until about 35 mm of bolt is exposed above each washer. Use a spirit level and adjust the height of the nuts as required to ensure the four washers are completely level with each other. You are now ready to install the CP4000 pedestal mount charging station.
  • Page 39 The Limited Warranty you received with your charging station is subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. For example, your use of, installation of, or modification to, the ChargePoint® charging station in a manner in which the ChargePoint® charging station is not intended to be used or modified will void the limited warranty. You should review your limited warranty and become familiar with the terms thereof.
