Pedestal Mount Concrete Preparation

Concrete Mounting Template

You must use a ChargePoint Concrete Mounting Template (CMT) when installing a new pedestal mount charging station or replacing an existing non-ChargePoint pedestal mount station.

Use a CMT when installing charging stations on existing concrete (on an intermediate floor only).

You must order the CP6000 CMT separately, with sufficient lead time before site construction. This kit ships separately from the ChargePoint CP6000 charging station.

(a) Upper template

(b) Lower template

(d) Washers (x 18)

(e) Anchor bolts (x 3)

The Concrete Mounting Template kit components you need to use, the tools required, and the installation steps vary depending on the type of installation: new concrete or existing concrete.

You do not need a CMT if you are installing a wall mount charging station or replacing an existing ChargePoint station.

Do not use expanding anchor bolts. Do not install the CP6000 on an asphalt surface.

Pedestal-Mount Specifications

The CP6000 must be installed either on a newly poured concrete pad embedded with the Concrete Mounting Template(CMT), or on an existing concrete surface using the Surface Conduit Entry (SCE Surface Conduit Entry) kit. As an alternative, precast concrete blocks are available from third-party providers. For more information, contact ChargePoint.

Stub-up entry for underground wiring is the most common installation method. Surface entry for above ground wiring is permitted only where underground wiring is not feasible, such as in parking garages. In such cases, the Surface Conduit Entry (SCE

Surface Conduit Entry) kit is available and includes the hardware needed for installation on an existing concrete surface.

Tools and Materials

In addition to the CP6000 Concrete Mounting Template kit, the site construction team needs:

Digging tools (shovel, spade, etc.)
Materials to prepare the form for pouring concrete
Concrete as specified by site drawings
Rebar as specified by site drawings
24 mm (1 in) wrench
Level
Cut-resistant gloves
Drill or hydraulic hole punch (if using armored cable)
Conduit, ducting, or armored cable in the amounts and types specified by site drawings, that complies with local code (see the rest of this document for conduit sizes and routing)

Installation into New Concrete

Perform the following steps to install into new concrete:

Failure to install the ChargePoint CP6000 in accordance with these instructions and all local building practices, climate conditions, safety standards, and all applicable codes and ordinances may lead to risk of death, injury, or property damage, and will void the Limited One-Year Parts Exchange Warranty.

Trench and excavate an opening to accommodate the wiring conduit and the concrete mounting pad that meets local codes and requirements, per site drawings.
Run conduit to each station as needed. If the station needs wired Ethernet access, run Ethernet conduit.
Build the form and lay rebar for the foundation.
- The concrete block must measure at least 600 mm (24 in) on all sides.
- The conduit stub-up needs to measure between 152 mm (6 in) and 590 mm (23.2 in) above the concrete surface.
Ensure that the following are addressed before you proceed:
- The 600 mm (24 in) concrete base requirement applies when a new pad is poured on virgin ground. This ensures sufficient volume and strength to support the pedestal and anchoring hardware.
- It is critical that the conduits are positioned properly and plumb. The tolerance where the conduits enter the station is 2 mm (1/16 in).
Align the CP6000 CMT over the conduit stub-ups with the two bolts facing forward and the third bolt to the rear.
Slide the CP6000 CMT over the conduit stub-ups until the top surface of the template is level with the top surface of the concrete when poured.

The bottom of the upper template (a) must align with the surface of the concrete (b).
Ensure the conduits are plumb.
Use a level to check that the CP6000 CMT is level from front to back and from side to side.
Conduit height (c) must be between 456 mm (18 in) and 590 mm (23.2 in). Each bolt (d) must extend between 60 mm (2-1/2 in) and 100 mm (4 in) above the concrete surface.
Before pouring concrete, tie the CP6000 CMT to rebar to help hold it in place.

The CP6000 CMT and the conduit must be secured in place to prevent them from moving out of position while the concrete is poured and curing.
Pour the concrete.

Make sure the concrete surface between the conduits is completely level and free of any irregularities.
Refer to the measurements in this guide and ensure the anchor rod locations are correct before the concrete is dry.
Use a level to ensure the bolts are plumb.

You are now ready to install the CP6000 pedestal mount charging station.

Replace an Existing ChargePoint Charging Station

Ensure compliance with all applicable local codes. Modify these instructions as necessary to align with the codes in effect at your installation location.

If existing conduit stub-up diameter is greater than 32 mm (1-1/4 in), you must remove the concrete and replace it.

Replace an Existing CT4000 or CPF50 Charging Station

Review the CP6000 Site Design Guide and ensure that the dimensions of the existing concrete slab meet the requirements.

If you are installing a Cable Management Kit (CMK Cable Management Kit), ensure there is adequate clearance behind the power stub-up for the CMK Cable Management Kit.

To safely mount a CP6000 charging station, the concrete must be at least 300 mm (12 in) thick. At this thickness, all of the CP6000 mounting bolts must be positioned as follows:

At least 610 mm (24 in) from the front, side, and rear edge of concrete slab

If the existing pad does not meet the specifications above, a structural engineer must inspect and approve the pad for charging station dimensions and weight.

If you are replacing a CPF50 charging station, contact ChargePoint to order a CPF50 Adapter Kit.

Replace an Existing Non-ChargePoint Charging Station

If an existing charging station (from a manufacturer other than ChargePoint) is already in place at the installation site, complete these tasks:

Turn off all power to the station and disassemble according to the original manufacturer’s instructions.
Cut away any existing bolts or non-power conduit stub-up to ground level.
You may need to plug cut-away conduits at the slab end and disconnect wiring at the other end.

Replace a Charging Station with Surface or Side Entry Conduit

To replace a charging station with surface or side entry conduit, you require the following:

Tools Required

Electric hammer drill with 12 mm (1/2 in) or larger chuck.

Consumables Required

The following table lists and describes consumable items that you will need. The quantity listed in the table is based on installation of one charging station.

The consumption rate of these products varies depending on conditions at the installation site.

Consumables Required
Quantity	Description	Purpose
1	Epoxy adhesive for concrete such as Hilti RE-500	Fill drilled holes.
1	Electrical cleaning and maintenance aerosol, any angle spray duster, 235 ml (8 oz)	Clean drilled holes. Note: Compressed air will work.

1	Drill bit for concrete embedded rebar, round 19 mm (3/4 in) bit size 12.5 mm (1/2 in) shank diameter 305 mm (12 in) length overall	Drill 19 mm (3/4 in) hole through rebar.
1	Nylon loop handle brush 19 mm (3/4 in) brush diameter 75 mm (3 in) length brush 216 mm (8 1/2 in) length overall	Clean drilled holes.
1	Push-on round cap, fits 16 mm (5/8 in) - 17.5 mm (11/16 in) OD, 12.7 mm (1/2 in) inside height, pack of 100	Keeps the epoxy inside the drilled holes in situations where the slab is only 150 mm (6 in) deep.

Installation Instructions

The installation instructions are as follows:

Remove the lower template and all nuts and washers from below the upper template.
Place the lower template on the concrete and mark the hole locations.
- When placing the template, consider the charging station’s total footprint.
- If installing over an existing conduit stub-up or armored cable, position the center of the template around that stub-up or armored cable.
Remove the template and drill three 19 mm (0.75 in) diameter holes 250 mm (9.85 in) deep into the concrete.
- You may need two drill bits: one for the concrete (with the pilot) and another for the rebar (without the pilot). Always start the hole using the standard drill bit, and then switch to the rebar drill bit only if drilling through rebar.
Remove all dust from inside the drilled holes using compressed air, a vacuum, or a brush.
Remove the bolts from the upper template.
Fill each hole with epoxy to about 65 to 75 mm (2.5 to 3 in) below the top of the hole. Continue immediately to the next step because the epoxy sets quickly.

Inserting the threaded bolts displaces the epoxy, causing it to fill the holes to the grade level. If the epoxy is below grade level after the next step, add more epoxy.

Place the upper template over the holes.
Insert the bolts through the upper template into the holes.

Rotate the bolts as you insert them. This allows the epoxy to fully coat the threads of the bolts, reducing the amount of trapped air.

Leave the upper template in place.

Use a bubble level to ensure the bolts are plumb.
Allow the epoxy to cure (depending on cure times recommended by the epoxy manufacturer).
