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 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 80 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

8 mm hex wrench

 

4 mm ball-end hex wrench

L wrench included, combined with T25 Torx

 

#3 Philips screwdriver

Multimeter

(solenoid type voltmeter preferred)

Protective cut-proof gloves

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)

 

 

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) Cable Management Kit (CMKClosed Cable Management Kit)

(b) Top cap

(c) Pedestal or wall mount enclosure

(d) Head unit assembly

(e) Charging cables

(f) Mounting adapter (only wall mount stations)

(g) Circuit share jumper kit

(h) Quick Reference Guide, rating labels

Some CP6000 configurations are shipped with charging cables preinstalled on the Head unit assembly.

All CP6000 charging stations include L1 - L1 circuit share power management jumpers. If one single-phase supply circuit is feeding a dual port station, you MUST install an L1 - L1 jumper for both ports to operate correctly. The L1 - L1 jumper does not rotate phases, allowing both ports to draw current from L1.

The CP6000 ships with an Ethernet kit (purchased separately). If you purchased an Ethernet kit, make sure the kit has the following parts:

(a) Ethernet Module

(b) Accessory (the Ethernet connector)

(c) Ethernet Adapter Assembly

(d) L-wrench
