- Page 7 Site Design Guidelines This document describes how to design a project site for the ChargePoint® CPF32 charging station for electric vehicles, using the ChargePoint Gateway for network connectivity. This includes guidelines and best practices for electrical infrastructure and capacity planning, construction and concrete work required prior to installation of charging stations and mobile signal requirements.
- Page 8 The CPF32 delivers up to 7.4 kW per charging port. Various options are available for power management. If a site has limited power capacity or needs to reduce costs for electrical infrastructure, consider ChargePoint power management options for power sharing at the panel, transformer or site level.
- Page 9 Asphalt cannot support the full weight of the charging station. Failure to install the ChargePoint charging station on a level concrete base or a flat wall may cause the charging station to tip over, resulting in death, personal injury or property damage.
- Page 10 The station must be grounded adequately according to local code requirements. • 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. •...
- Page 11 • Consider installing a dedicated electrical panel for EV charging, then leverage ChargePoint power management to efficiently use available power at a site to support more EV charging ports than would otherwise be possible without power management.
- Page 13 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-Mounted Stations For wall-mounted stations, the wall must be smooth, stable, plumb and sturdy.
- Page 14 If not installed correctly, the ChargePoint® charging station may pose a fall WARNING: hazard, leading to death, personal injury or property damage. Always use the provided Concrete Mounting Template or a ChargePoint-approved surface mounting solution to install the ChargePoint® charging station and install in accordance with applicable codes and standards using licensed professionals.
- Page 15 The pedestal base design can be configured in a variety of ways to serve different parking arrangements. Ensure a sufficient volume of concrete to provide anchoring for the charging station. • Place the station behind the kerb in a planter or berm between spaces with wheel stops 900 mm from the front of each stall.
- Page 16 • Place two stations back to back centred on four spaces with wheel stops 900 mm from the front of each stall. The base of the charging station can be flush with the parking spaces or at kerb level. • Place a single port station for a single parallel parking...
- Page 17 Accessibility The CPF32 charging cable is centred at 1150 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 19 When sizing new electrical panels dedicated for EV charging, all branch circuits must support continuous load. The CPF32 charging station is tested to IEC 61000-4-5, Level 5 (6 kV @ 3000 A) CAUTION: standards. In geographic areas that experience frequent thunderstorms, appropriate supplemental surge protection is recommended to guard against product damage.
- Page 20 For pedestal installations, the wiring must be brought up through the pedestal into the back of the station via the bracket. The CPF32 has a 21-mm knock-out in the bottom and the rear of the charging station. Entering the station, the cable diameter must not exceed 27 mm.
- Page 21 The following illustration describes the wiring for installing a CPF32. A 40-A breaker is recommended. Note: Neutral bus Ground bus Main breaker For any circuit-sharing solution, refer to regional and local codes. Contact your ChargePoint Note: representative for additional guidance.
- Page 23 The Gateway should be located where mobile signal levels are optimal for 3G and must be located within a line-of-sight view of 45 m to as many as nine (9) CPF32 charging stations. Each CPF32 charging station has built-in WiFi capability to communicate via the Gateway for ChargePoint networking services.
- Page 24 A 3G (or 4G that is backwards compatible to 3G and 2G) repeater can improve the mobile signal for the Gateway, as well as for employees and customers that are on that network in the area. To future-proof your site, ChargePoint recommends measuring RSRP to ensure that the site is Note: covered for future use of 4G/LTE.
- Page 25 WARNING: Do not use expanding anchor bolts. Do not install the CPF32 on an asphalt surface. The required kit components, required tools and installation steps vary depending on the type of installation. This section provides basic guidelines for all approved installation types.
- Page 26 Installation on New Concrete Before casting new concrete, review the site for suitability to install a CPF32. The CPF32 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 CPF32 Mounting Template included in the Pedestal Mount Kit.
- Page 27 Pedestal Mount Concrete Preparation Build a temporary frame to support the wooden template over the hole. Before pouring the concrete pad, make sure that all pedestal mounting components are readily available at the installation site. 35 mm Install two nuts, with two washers captured between them, onto each of the four bolts, as illustrated.
- Page 28 Review the dimensions of the existing concrete slab. To safely mount a CPF32 charging station, the concrete must be at least 200 mm thick. At this thickness, all CPF32 mounting bolts must be positioned at least 380 mm from the front edge, at least 305 mm from the side edges and at least 150 mm from the rear edge of the concrete slab.
- Page 29 If the original copy of the installation template is lost, a new one can be printed at: Note: chargepoint.com/eu/guides. Ensure that the PDF version of the mounting template is accurate by printing at 100% scale on A3 paper and verifying at least one dimension.
- Page 30 Remove the template and drill four 25-mm diameter holes 165 mm deep 55 mm into the concrete. When locating the template, consider the station’s total footprint. For reference, a template is included in the Concrete Mounting kit. 165 mm • Bolts must be parallel after installation.
- Page 31 35 mm of bolt is exposed above each washer. Use a spirit level and adjust the height of the nuts as required to ensure that the four washers are completely level with each other. You are now ready to install the CPF32 pedestal mount charging station.
- Page 33 The Warranty you received with your Charging Station is subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. For example, your use 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 warranty and become familiar with the terms thereof.
