Before You Begin

Before servicing the component, complete the following steps:

  1. Power off.

  2. Remove these:

    1. Top cap

    2. Front lower cover

    3. Front upper cover

    4. Cable cap

    5. Side panels

    6. Rear upper cover

  3. Open the upper and lower door.

  4. Remove HV DC input bus bar safety cover.

After replacing the components, reverse the above steps to complete the service.

Install the Long Cable

  1. Connect the long cable's USBClosed Universal Serial Bus-C plug to any one of the three USBClosed Universal Serial Bus-C ports on the Control and Communication Module (CCOMClosed Control and Communications Module).

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  2. Route the long cable's other connector to rear side through a hole at the back of the Power Link 2000 and insert the grommet into the hole.

    Make sure to route and tie the long cable using cable ties to the main cable harness.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

    Reverse the above steps to replace the long cable.

    In most cases, card reader failures can be resolved by replacing the card reader alone. If the issue persists after replacing the card reader alone, try connecting the long cable to a different USBClosed Universal Serial Bus port on the CCOMClosed Control and Communications Module. If the new card reader still fails to operate correctly, replace the long cable.

Install the Cover with Card Reader

  1. Connect the card reader's cable to the long cable before you install the cover.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  2. Align and seat cover onto the alignment pins (x2) on the frame.

    CAUTION: To prevent pinching of the card reader cable, make sure that the cable is not between the rear upper and lower covers.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  3. Torque the screws to 4.5 Nm (40 in-lb).

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

Reverse the above steps to replace the cover.

Before you reinstall, check if there is a label with serial number (SN) on the old cover. Refer to the image below. If so, request a replacement label for the new cover.

Power Link 2000s typically have a label with SN on the rear upper cover, although some older units may have the label on the rear lower cover. Ensure the Power Link 2000 has a label with SN applied to one of its rear covers. To request a new one, contact chargepoint.com/support.
