Install or Replace Signs

Follow these steps to install signs on the charging station. To ensure a proper fit, signs must follow the specification provided by ChargePoint. An example of the sign specification (not to scale) is provided below. Detailed sign specifications for existing, optional, and custom signs are available at ChargePoint Product Reference Documentation.

To ensure a proper fit, a replacement sign must be a maximum of 1 mm (0.04 in) thick and must be 102 mm (4 in) wide. The length depends on whether the sign is for the front of the pedestal or for the CMKClosed Cable Management Kit, as well as which version of the CMKClosed Cable Management Kit you are installing.

Installing a Front Sign on a Pedestal

It is easier to install the sign before installing the head assembly, but it can be installed with the head assembly already in place. Follow these steps to install the sign with the head assembly in place. If the head assembly is not installed, the installation steps are the same, except for inserting the top edge of the sign under the bottom lip of the head assembly.

  1. Remove the tape from the adhesive strip on the back of the sign.

  2. With the adhesive strip facing toward the pedestal, insert the top left corner of the sign under the groove on the top left corner of the pedestal. Slide the sign upward as far as possible to position the top of the sign under the bottom lip of the head assembly.

  3. Working from top to bottom, slide the left side of the sign under the pedestal’s leftmost groove.

  4. When the left side of the sign is fully inserted, bow the top of the sign outward slightly to insert the top right corner of the sign under the groove on the top right corner of the pedestal. Ensure the top of sign remains positioned under the bottom lip of the head assembly.

  5. Working from top to bottom, slide the right side of the sign under the pedestal’s rightmost groove.

  6. When the sign is fully inserted into the pedestal’s left and right grooves, and under the bottom lip of the head assembly, run your hand down the center of the sign while applying enough pressure to make sure the sign’s adhesive strip contacts the pedestal.

Installing a Top Sign on the CMK

To remove a sign after installation

  1. Use the L-wrench to loosen the set screw on each side of the top cap.

  2. Pull the top assembly up and move it toward the back of the cord management assembly.

  3. Slide the existing sign out of the grooves.

To install a new sign

  1. Slide the replacement sign into the grooves by bending it slightly. (Sample sign dimensions for a top sign are shown at right.)

  2. Slide the sign all the way down, ensuring its bottom edge is located behind the plastic cap on the cord management assembly.

  3. Re-install the top assembly. Tighten the set screws.

Installing a Rear Sign on a CMK

Installing a sign on the rear side of the cord management assembly is the same as the instructions provided above for installing a bottom sign on a pedestal.
