Introduction

RISK OF SHOCK. Before performing any procedure, the technician must disconnect the power to the charging station at the service panel. Follow local code to de-energize the applicable circuit and lockout/tagout the upstream breaker before proceeding. Use a multimeter and check that the power is off. Keep power off for the circuit until all cover panels are correctly reinstalled and the work is complete. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
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.

Site Prerequisites

Ensure that the location of the installation site is appropriate and you are ready to install the CPF32:

  • The CPF32 must be located within 38 m (125 ft) line-of-sight from a CPGWClosed ChargePoint Gateway (ChargePoint Gateway).

  • Ensure the appropriate wiring, circuit protection, and metering is in place at the installation location by reviewing the wiring diagrams and grounding requirements described in Grounding and Wiring. All wiring is installer-provided except as noted in the manual. Ensure that wire type and color follows local and regional code.

  • Follow the instructions and Prepare the installation site. The mounting template for the pedestal is included with the Pedestal Kit, and a PDF version is available at ChargePoint Product Reference Documentation. Ensure the PDF version is accurate by printing it at 100% scale on 11x17 inch paper and verifying at least one dimension.
