ChargePoint CP6000 Series Installation

The ChargePoint CP6000 is an all-purpose charging station for property owners, businesses, and municipalities. The CP6000 charging station can be mounted on a pedestal or a wall.

CP6000 charging stations are alternating current (AC) supply equipment. Once they are installed and activated, they are connected to the AC network.

CP6000 charging stations do not have ventilation capabilities.
You must be a licensed electrician and complete online training to become a ChargePoint certified installer. If you do not complete training, you cannot access the ChargePoint network to complete installation. Find online training at: https://www.chargepoint.com/partners/training-certification. If the charging station is not installed by a ChargePoint certified installer, using a ChargePoint approved method, it is not covered under warranty and ChargePoint is not responsible for any malfunctions.

CP6000 charging stations can be installed with single cable feeding both ports (circuit share) or with dual cables, one for each port.

These charging stations are available in several configurations. The images in this guide might not match your station exactly; however, the installation steps are the same unless otherwise noted.

Power Management

Using ChargePoint Power Management technology, sites can install more stations than would otherwise be supported by the available electrical service. A maximum aggregate load is defined for a group of charging stations. ChargePoint cloud-based services manage the individual power output of each station (or port) to ensure the maximum load is never exceeded.

A CP6000 charging station provides up to 32 A of output current to each charging port.

Site Requirements

Ensure that the appropriate wiring, circuit protection, and metering are in place at the installation location by reviewing the Site Design Guide, the Datasheet, and the wiring diagrams and grounding requirements in the chapter titled Connect Wiring.

Ensure that the installation complies with all applicable codes and ordinances.

Required Tools and Materials

To install CP6000 charging stations, you need the following tools:

T20 and T25 torx-end wrenches
L wrench included, combined with 4 mm hex

Wire stripper

Mini-ratchet wrench

Torx screwdriver (T25)

Adjustable torque wrench
nut size 4 mm and 24 mm

#2 Pozidriv torque screwdriver
(capable of controlling torque)

 

4 mm ball-end hex wrench

L wrench included, combined with T25 Torx

 

#3 Philips screwdriver

Multimeter
(solenoid type voltmeter preferred)

Flat blade screwdriver
(capable of controlling torque)

Diagonal wire cutter

Level

Drill and tap for appropriate wall attachment hardware
(wall mount stations only)

10 mm wrench

CMKClosed Cable Management Kit ball tool (included)

Protective cut-proof gloves

Wall mounting hardware requirements vary based on surfaces:

  • Masonry anchors rated for at least 318 kg (700 lb) of pull-out force.

  • Attachment hardware appropriate for mounting surface. For example, use
    10 x 75 mm (3/8 x 3 in) lag bolts if mounting on a wooden wall.

Inspect the Boxes for Contents

The CP6000 ships in multiple boxes. Check to make sure you have all of the following parts before beginning work.

(a) Head unit assembly

(b) Top cap

(c) Cable Management Kit (CMKClosed Cable Management Kit) - only stations with cables attached

(d) Wall mount bracket kit (wall mount stations)

(e) Pedestal or wall mount enclosure

(f) Circuit share jumper kit

(g) SIM Card

(h) Rating label sheet

The charging station ships with an Ethernet kit (purchased separately). Check to make sure you have the following parts in the kit:

(a) Ethernet Module

(b) Accessory (the Ethernet connector)

(c) Ethernet Adapter Assembly

(d) L-wrench

(e) Ferrite accessory

All CP6000 charging stations include L1 - L2 circuit share power management jumpers. If a single three-phase supply circuit is feeding a dual port station, install the L1 - L2 jumper. This offers local phase rotation between the two charging ports to distribute and balance charging loads across the supply phases. If a single supply circuit is feeding a dual port station, you MUST install power management jumpers for both ports to operate correctly.

For assistance, go to chargepoint.com/support and contact technical support using the appropriate region-specific number. Order power management jumpers from Support if required.

CP6000 charging stations comes with two options:

Talk to your local ChargePoint contact and agree on the best solution for the installation.

When choosing RCBOClosed Residual Current Breaker with Overload Protection, a single input cable can be supplied to the charging station because of the share power management jumpers. The upstream cable will also be protected according to the national wiring regulations.

When choosing RCCBClosed Residual Current Circuit Breaker in certain countries, local wiring regulations will require that these stations shall be connected with two input power cables and an additional upstream Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCBClosed Miniature Circuit Breaker). Make sure to follow the local regulations considering the maximum current delivered per charging port.

If an upstream RCDClosed Residual Current Device will be used, ensure that the RCDClosed Residual Current Device fulfills the selectivity criteria. Either 30 mA (s) with selective tripping characteristic or 100 mA are required so both RCDs (RCCBClosed Residual Current Circuit Breaker in station and RCDClosed Residual Current Device in upstream circuit board) will be connected in series.
