Install the Concrete Mounting Template

Risk of Death, Personal Injury, Property Damage, and Voided Warranty

  • You are required to engage or be a ChargePoint certified installer, and required to use a ChargePoint-approved mounting method, such as this Concrete Mounting Template, to install the ChargePoint charging station.

  • If you fail to use the approved mounting method, you risk the station tipping over, and that can cause death, personal injury, or property damage, and will void all ChargePoint and other warranties and ChargePoint is not responsible.

  • You must be a licensed electrician and complete the training at (missing or bad snippet) to become ChargePoint certified.

The number and location of conduits and wiring differ for each installation.
Always refer to site drawings for conduit and wiring details.

To install Concrete Mounting Template, configure the following steps:

  1. Trench and excavate an opening to accommodate the wiring conduits and the concrete mounting pad.

    The opening must meet national and local codes and requirements and conform to site drawings.

  2. Run conduits to each station as required by the site drawings.

  3. Build the form and lay rebar for the foundation.

    The conduits must be plumb and positioned properly to ensure that a charging station, which delivers high-voltage electricity, has a stable foundation.

    The tolerance where the conduits enter the charging station is 2 mm (1/16 in).

  1. Align the template with the PARKING FRONT marking at the front of the station according to the site drawings.

    Position the template with the guide tabs UP.

    This will help guide the conduits.

  2. Lower the template onto the conduit stub-ups until the top of the template is 51 mm (2 in) below where the top of the concrete will be.

    The surface of the concrete must align with the bottom of the plastic caps.

    Do not force or bend the conduits.

  3. Do not flex the template.

    Gently press the template down onto the conduits.

  4. Ensure the conduits are plumb.

  5. Check that the template is level from front to back and side to side.

  6. Tie or shim the template to the rebar to prevent the template from moving when you pour the concrete.

    Do this only through the square openings.

    Before pouring concrete, you must secure the template and conduits in place.

    If the conduits rise or float out of position when you are pouring the concrete or afterward when it is curing, the concrete pad will not pass inspection.

    Only use the square openings in the template to secure its height. Do not use the round openings. If you do, it can cause irregularities for, interfere, or obstruct installation.

  1. Pour the concrete.

    Check that the concrete surface between the conduits remains completely level and free of irregularities.

  2. Check that the concrete pad conforms to all requirements, specs, and site drawings.
