Install Cable Management Kit

The Power Link 1000 can be installed with standard cable management kit (CMK Cable Management Kit), tall CMK Cable Management Kit, or overhead CMK Cable Management Kit for managing different length charging cables. Depending on the space or clearance available above the Power Link 1000, the standard and tall CMK Cable Management Kit may be installed at one of two height settings, a minimum or maximum height.

To install the mast, perform the following steps:

1. Partially install screws (x6) onto the back side of Power Link 1000.

   

2. Hang the mast onto the screws.

   • To install CMK Cable Management Kit at maximum height, use keyholes located at bottom of mast.

     

   • To install CMK Cable Management Kit at minimum height, use keyholes located higher up on the mast.

     

3. Torque screws (x6) to 5.6 Nm (50 in-lb) through the screw holes at the back of the mast.

   

Install Tall CMK Assembly

To install tall CMK Cable Management Kit assembly, perform the following steps:

1. Find the M10 hex screws (x4) shipped in the tall CMK package.

2. Install the tall CMK Cable Management Kit assembly onto the mast.

   

3. Install the M10 hex screws (x4) and torque to 13.5 Nm (120 in-lb).

   

4. Install tetherball onto the charging cable.

5. Suspend charging cable.

6. Install covers.

Install Overhead CMK

If the site plan calls for the Power Link 1000 to be configured with an overhead CMK Cable Management Kit, follow procedures in this section to install the CMK Cable Management Kit.

Kit Components

Check the overhead CMK Cable Management Kit package for the following components:

(a) Mounting bracket

(b) Overhead CMK Cable Management Kit

(c) Hardware kit with M8 hex nuts (x4) and M6 Torx screws (x4)

Install Overhead CMK

To install overhead CMK Cable Management Kit, perform the following steps:

1. Find the M8 hex nuts (x4) and M6 Torx screws (x4) shipped in the overhead CMK package.

2. Install the bracket onto the pole.

   

3. Install and torque the M8 hex nuts (x4) to 12.2 Nm (108 in-lb) to secure the bracket.

   

4. Align the overhead CMK Cable Management Kit onto the bracket and install M6 Torx screws (x4, x2 on the left side and x2 on the right side).

   

5. Torque the screws to 3.4 Nm (30 in-lb).

   

6. Install tetherball onto the charging cable.

7. Suspend charging cable.

Install Tetherball

Standard length (5.8 m or 19 ft) charging cables come with a tetherball preinstalled onto the cable. For non‑LCC Liquid Cooled Cable medium length (7.6 m or 25 ft) charging cables, a tetherball is not preinstalled onto the cable. It must be installed after installing the charging cable or while installing the CMK Cable Management Kit.

To install tetherball, perform the following steps:

1. Loosely install the tetherball onto the cable.

   

2. If necessary, slide the tetherball to a position on the cable such that the lowest point of the cable remains 25 mm (1 in) off the ground when the cable is in its stored position.

   

3. Torque the screws (x4) to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb).

   

Suspend Charging Cable

To suspend charging cable, perform the following steps:

1. Loosen the screw if it is not loose.

   

2. Align the spring tab in the tetherball with the flat notch on the tether pin. While aligned, gently push the tetherball onto the tether pin.

   

3. Torque the screw to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb).

   

4. Tug on the cable to check that it is securely attached and the swingarm or tool balancer is functioning. If you find limited motion or retraction, contact ChargePoint support at chargepoint.com/support.

   • Standard CMK Cable Management Kit swingarm extension:

     

   • Tall CMK Cable Management Kit tool balancer extension:

     

5. If two charging cables have been installed, repeat for the other side.

Install CMK Covers

To install CMK Cable Management Kit covers, perform the following steps:

1. Find the front and rear covers shipped in the CMK Cable Management Kit package.

2. Insert one edge of the rear cover into one of the grooves on the rear side of the CMK Cable Management Kit mast.

   

3. Gently flex the rear cover to insert its other edge into the other groove on the rear side of the CMK Cable Management Kit mast.

   

4. Repeat the above steps for the front cover and ensure the following:

   • If installing covers on the standard CMK Cable Management Kit at maximum height, make sure that the front cover is resting on the two shoulder screws on the front side of the CMK Cable Management Kit mast.

     

   • If the CMK Cable Management Kit (either standard or tall) is installed at minimum height, cut its front cover to the following height:

     1. Standard CMK Cable Management Kit's front cover:

        

     2. Tall CMK Cable Management Kit's front cover:

        

Install Tether Hook

Use tether hooks as additional support for overhead CMKs or to enable the use of third-party hoist or cable management solutions. The tether hook can be attached to either a fixed point or to an alternate cable management mechanism such as a winch.

To install the tether hook, perform the following steps:

1. Loosely install the tetherball onto the cable. Slide and position the tetherball onto the charging cable to an appropriate suspension position (prior to tightening the tetherball).

   

2. Torque the screws (x4) to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb).

3. Push the tether hook into the tetherball and tighten set screw.

   

4. Use steel cable (recommended 1/8” OD) and associated eyelet/thimble to connect to tether hook. Wrap the steel cable and eyelet around tether hook.

   Images are not to scale. Measurements appear in metric units (mm) followed by imperial equivalents (inches).

   

5. Secure the plastic housing around the tether hook. Torque the T20 screws (x2) to 1.3 Nm (10 in-lb). This ensures the steel cable is retained on the tether hook.

   

6. Ensure the tether hook is securely fastened and the cable is properly supported.
