Install Charging Cord and Covers

Proceed with the following steps to install the charging cord and covers.

Connect the Service Wiring

  1. UK only: Use a 6 mm2 (10 AWGClosed American Wire Gauge), non- insulated, No. 6 terminal ring lug and a MET screw to land the grounding wire on the ground stud behind the terminal block.

  1. Ensure the service wiring can easily reach the connectors on the charging station’s terminal block. Trim the wiring to remove excess length.

  2. Strip each wire 12 mm (1/2 in).

  3. Ensure the white clips on the terminal block are open. Fully insert the wires into the connectors on the left side of the terminal block as shown.

  4. On each connector, press the white clip completely down until it snaps into place.

Ensure that each wire is fully inserted into the connector with no bare wire visible before pressing it into place with the white clip.

Connect the Charging Cord

  1. Remove the cable clip connected to the wiring end of the cord, but do not discard it. Note the location of the slot for re-insertion in a later step.

  2. Insert the wire ends into the opening on the lower right side of the station, pushing up until the silver conductors are no longer visible below the enclosure.

  1. Push the cord upward and slide the cable clip into the slot on the strain relief until it snaps into place.

  1. Insert the wires into the corresponding connectors on the right side of the terminal block. On each connector, press the white clip all the way down until it snaps into place.

Ensure each wire is fully inserted into the connector before pressing it into place with the white clip. Pay particular attention to the small rightmost wire.

Attach the Station Cover

  1. Place the wire cover over the exposed wiring on the terminal block.

  2. Using a coin, lock the wire cover in place as shown.

    To avoid damage, do not use a screwdriver.

  1. Place the cover over the front of the station.

  1. Use two T10 Torx screws to fasten the front cover to the bottom of the station.

Attach the Charging Cord to the CMK

If your station is equipped with a cord management kit, follow these steps to connect each charging cord to the nylon rope that keeps the charging cord in place:

  1. Gently extend the charging cord completely out and away from the station. Rotate the plug as needed to remove any twist or kinks.

  2. Align the knot bearing on each rope to its corresponding mating feature on the cable clamp. Push down while turning the knot bearing clockwise approximately 1/4 turn.

    Note: Attach the charging cord to the LEFT side of the station to minimize interference with the card reader.

Install the Lower Sign

  1. Insert the bottom left corner of the sign under the groove on the bottom left corner of the CMKClosed Cable Management Kit. Slide the sign downward as far as possible so the top of the sign is positioned under the bottom of the mounting bracket.

  2. Starting with the bottom left corner and working from bottom to top, slide the left side of the sign under the leftmost groove.

  3. When the left side of the sign is fully inserted, bow the bottom of the sign outward slightly to insert the bottom right corner of the sign under the groove on the bottom right corner.

  4. Starting with the bottom right corner and working from bottom to top, slide the right side of the sign under the rightmost groove.

The physical installation of the CPF32 is now complete. You are ready to prepare the station for activation on the ChargePoint network, as described in the next section.
