Install Swingarms Onto Station and Hang Charging Cable

(Standard Pedestal)

Identify if your site plans include a Cable Management Kit (CMKClosed Cable Management Kit) or a tool balancer.

A CMKClosed Cable Management Kit includes swingarms that attach directly to the Power Link 1000 station to manage standard-length (i.e., 4.6 m or 15 ft) charging cables. A tool balancer is attached to a separate structure to manage medium-length (i.e., 7.6 m or 25 ft) charging cables but uses the same ball clamp.

Install Mast

  1. Partially install screws into four upper holes on the rear exterior of Power Link 1000.

  2. Hang the mast using the middle and lower keyholes.

    Final install height of the CMKClosed Cable Management Kit should be 2413 mm (7 ft 11 in).

    The CMKClosed Cable Management Kit can be lowered 203 mm (8 in) by using the upper and middle keyholes to allow for installations with low overhead clearance.

    Hang the mast using the middle and lower keyholes.

  3. Torque screws (x4) to 5.6 Nm (50 in-lb).
