Mounting Specifications - Surface Mount Conduit Entry
Power Blocks and Power Link 2000s support wiring that is run above ground in protected wireways, for
locations where no underground wiring access exists (parking garages, etc.) or where underground
junction boxes are not permitted.
IMPORTANT: Power Link 2000 station surface conduit can only support two 76 mm (3 in) DC-IN
conduits.
If cables are run above grade, they must be housed in wireways that conform to local regulations. Use a
ChargePoint approved surface mount solution for the following benefits:
Support of the weight of conduits and components without compromising cover panel integrity
l
Ensure all terminations meet ingress requirements where they meet the component
l
No obstructions to ventilation, which is required during operation
l
To prepare the site for above grade wiring:
Ensure the plans for the concrete pad and access area allow full service access to all components.
l
Surface conduit entry might require larger clearance areas than embedded installations, as described
in later sections.
Prepare the concrete surface where the components will be anchored so that the concrete is solid
l
and smooth, with no old hardware or stub-ups extending above grade. The Power Block and Power
Link 2000s anchor to the concrete using epoxied bolts and require a level mounting surface.
Note: Surface conduit entry can use the Concrete Mounting Template (CMT) for mounting.
Highly flexible wire is recommended.
l
Surface mounted stations require greater rear clearance to allow for conduit pull: 610 mm (24 in).
l
Power Block
Use the Power Block dimensions listed above to allow
space and to calculate the locations of the four anchor
bolts to be drilled and epoxied before installation.
Include the two anchor bolts for whichever side will
house the surface conduits.
The Power Block can be installed with a pedestal cover
panel (only one: left side, rear or right side) that is sturdy
enough to fasten to surface conduit. A surface mount
cover panel has guide holes to drill out the correct size
openings for that site's conduits per the site drawings.
Note: The image shows examples of positioning only. All conduit for a Power Block must enter through a
single face. Arranging input and output on opposite sides for rows of Power Blocks is not supported.
