Install Cables, Top Cap, and Front and Rear Panels

Follow the table and figure below to determine the correct cable position based on the contactor configuration:

Cable position

Contactor Position	Cable Type	Cable Location on Charger
3	CCS Combined Charging System / CHAdeMO	Right side
2	CCS Combined Charging System / NACS North American Charging Standard	Left side

To install cables, top cap, front and rear panels, configure the following steps:

These steps are the same for both Standalone and Paired installations.

Install the Cables

1. Guide the DC, ground, and data cables gently through the top of the station.

   

   (a) DC

   (b) Ground

   (c) Data

2. Route the cables through the ferrite stack.

   

3. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to tighten the four screws securing the charging cable housing. Torque to 4.5 Nm (40 in-lb).

   

4. Apply a thin coat of dielectic grease on each lug.

   

5. When you are connecting a charging cable on the right side of the station, use a 10 mm socket hex driver to connect the positive and negative DC conductors from the front tabs of the connector box to the upper set of connectors.

   

>Ensure that the cables have the proper polarity and they are connected to the correct set of terminals in the correct row.
6. Use the middle set of DC connectors for charging cables on the left side of the station.

   

7. If the station is being configured with two CCS Combined Charging System charging cables, or if a single CCS Combined Charging System cable is installed, connect a data cable extension to the main data cable.

   Guide the data cable extension behind the contactor box to connect to the CCS Combined Charging System cable and the upper data connector.

   

   If the single CCS Combined Charging System is being installed on the left side when you are standing in front of the station, you do not need the data cable extension. Connect the data cable to the lower data connector.

   

7. Torque each charge cable nut to 5.6 Nm (50 in-lb).

8. Mark all torqued power connections.

   

9. Connect ground cable.

   Ground cable right side

   

   Ground cable left side

   

10. Tuck the cables into the station body so they don't get caught or pinched.

    

Suspend the Charging Cable

To suspend the charging cable, complete the following steps:

1. Loosen the screw in the tetherball if it is not already loose.

2. Align the spring in the ball clamp with the flat notch on the anchor pin. While aligned, gently push the ball clamp onto the anchor pin.

5. Check the lowest point of the cable. It should be a few inches above the ground. Adjust the position of tetherball on the charging cable if necessary.

   

6. Tug on cable to confirm that it is securely attached and check that the CMK Cable Management Kit is functioning. If you find limited motion or retraction, contact ChargePoint at chargepoint.com/support.

7. If two charging cables are to be installed, repeat for the other side.

Install the Top Cap

To install the top cap, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the top cap from the packaging.

2. Install the four screws that shipped with the top cap. Allow 10 mm clearance (a). Ensure the screws are secure.

   

3. Align the top cap screws with the corresponding holes on the station.

   Place the top cap onto the Express 280.

   

4. Ensure the screws go through the keyhole openings on the orange latches inside the station.

   

5. Slide each latch toward the center of the station.

   

6. Ensure the top cap is centered on the Express 280.

   

7. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to torque the four top cap screws to 25 in-lbs.

Install the Rear Cover Panels

To install the rear cover panels, complete the following steps:

1. Align the guide tab along the bottom edge of the lower rear panel to the matching slot on the Express 280.

   

2. Carefully push the panel forward and down until the key holes align with the screws on the station.

   Use a T25 Torx screwdriver and two screws to secure the top of the lower rear panel to the enclosure frame. Torque to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb).

   

Install the Front Cover Panels

To install the front cover panels, complete the following steps:

6. Using two hands, align the guide tabs on the front upper panel with the corresponding slots.

   Wear cut-resistant gloves and hold the sides of the panel gently when installing it.

   

7. Ensure the power cable (a) and the ground cable (b) at the top of the Express 280 are not captured by this front upper panel and are easily accessible.

   

8. Carefully push the panel toward the station body until the alignment posts snap into place.

9. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to secure the ground cable from the front panel to the station frame.

   

10. Remove the blue protective film from front and rear panels and screen.

    

Install the Area Light Bar

To install the area light bar, complete the following steps:

1. Position the area light bar above the upper front panel.

2. While holding the area light bar near the opening at the top of the Express 280, guide the power cable through the notch in the center of the area light bar.

   

3. Connect the power cable from the Express 280 to the area light bar.

   Make sure to route the cable carefully so it does not get pinched.

4. Use a tamper resistant T25 Torx screwdriver to tighten the two captive screws on the bottom edge of the area light bar. Torque to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb).

   

5. Attach the trim panel.
