Introduction

Before You Install

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 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.

  • The mounting template is included and a PDF version is available at ChargePoint Product Reference Documentation. Ensure the PDF version is accurate by printing it at 100% scale on 11” x 17” paper and then verifying at least one dimension.

Required Tools

  • If installing on a wood stud: stud finder

  • If installing on masonry: epoxy and 6 mm (1/4 in)-20 internally-threaded masonry anchors rated for at least 318 kg (700 lb) pull-out force

  • Bubble level

Power Select Option for 20 A Breakers

As shipped, a CPF32 provides up to 32 A of output power and requires a 40 A dedicated breaker. In situations where power supports only a 20 A breaker or where two stations are connected to the same circuit, the CPF32 must be configured for Power Select, which allows the station to operate at a lower current. To configure the CPF32 for Power Select, contact ChargePoint.
