Install Side Panels, Power Modules, and the Touchscreen

If the installation requires above-ground conduit, visit Install the SCE Box Cover for steps to install a Surface Conduit Entry (SCE Surface Conduit Entry) box cover before installing the side panels.

Install the Side Panels

Side panels prevent electrical shock hazard before powering on the charging station. These steps are the same for both Standalone and Paired installations. To install the side panels, configure the following steps:

Attach the Holsters

To attach the holsters, configure the following steps:

1. Remove holsters from packaging.

2. Hold the appropriate outer holster to the right side panel.

3. Install the holster.

   Installation kits come in two configurations; kits with inner brackets and kits without inner brackets. Refer to the section that applies to your configuration.

   Installation Kits with Inner Brackets

   1. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to secure the inner bracket and outer holster to the right side panel. Torque to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lbs).

   2. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to connect the ground cable to the holster.

   

   Installation Kits without Inner Brackets

   1. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to secure the outer holster to the right side panel. Torque to 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb).

   2. If a ground wire is connected to the side panel, use a T25 Torx screwdriver to connect the ground cable to the holster.

      

4. If installing a dual port station, repeat these steps for the second side panel.

5. Position the panel so the oval cutout (a) is on the bottom near the back of the station.

   Slightly tilt the right side panel and slide its top edge under the bottom edge of the area light bar. Align the holes in the side panel with the guide pins on each side of the frame.

   

6. Using a step ladder, hold the side panel and loosely secure the top two captive screws with a T25 Torx screwdriver.

   

7. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to loosely secure the bottom two screws. Loosely secure the middle two screws just above the Power Module mechanism.

Access to the middle screws is easier with the Power Module mechanism handle in the closed (down) position.



8. Use a T25 Torx screwdriver to tighten all six right side panel screws. Torque the screws to 2.8 Nm (25 in lb).

9. Repeat these steps to install the left side panel.

   

 

Install the Power Module

To install the Power Module, configure the following steps:

1. Using two people, lift the Power Module by its side handles and gently place it into its holder.

2. Install the rear Power Module first. Ensure the communication pins are closest to the back of the station.

   

   If only one Power Module is being installed, it must be installed in the rear holder.

   

   

3. Repeat the step for the second Power Module, if applicable.

   

4. If not already done, remove the safety caps from the coolant ports.

   

5. At the bottom right of the Express 280, press and hold the yellow release latch while pushing the Power Module tray into the station until it locks into place.

   

6. Using two hands, squeeze the Power Module mechanism’s release bar and lower it part of the way down while checking alignment with the ports and guide posts.

   

7. Lower the Power Module mechanism until you hear a click as the mechanism locks into place.

   Ensure the mechanism is fully engaged with all Power Module connectors. The Power Module mechanism should fully cover the ridges on the Power Module’s top edge.

   

Install the Touchscreen

To install the touchscreen, configure the following steps:

1. Loosen but do not remove the retention knobs.

   

2. Remove the touchscreen from the packaging.

   

3. Align the hooks of the touchscreen’s mounting bracket over the retention knob supports. Tighten the knobs enough to secure the touchscreen.

   

4. Swing the bottom of the touchscreen out to a 90-degree angle.

   

5. Connect all cables to the underside of the touch screen:

   

   (a) Speaker

   (b) Power 24 VDC power

   (c) RJ45 to dispenser cable control

   (d) USB Universal Serial Bus to LED display

   Perform a pull-push test to ensure that each cable is correctly seated. Failure to connect these correctly could prevent the system from powering on.

6. Route excess wiring through the wire management rings under the touchscreen to prevent it being pinched in the panels.

   

7. Swing the touchscreen down.

   Loosen both retention knobs and slide the touchscreen beam up.

   Re-tighten the knobs in the highest position.

   

Fill the Coolant Reservoir

The Express 280 is shipped with an empty coolant reservoir. Coolant and a funnel are included with the product. Most coolant lines are already connected to the reservoir with quick connect fittings, except the ones shown below. To fill the coolant reservoir, configure the following steps:

1. Remove the plastic shipping wrap.

2. Attach the quick connect line on the right side of the coolant reservoir. The line audibly clicks when connected.

3. Attach the quick connect line on the left side of the coolant reservoir.

   

Perform a push-pull test to ensure the quick connect lines are secure.

4. Using a step ladder if needed, unscrew the reservoir fill cap.

   

Do not unscrew the level sensor wiring cap when adding coolant.

5. Use a funnel to fill the reservoir to the marked MAX line with coolant.

   

6. Replace the reservoir cap.

   

7. Use the cloth to wipe up any coolant spills.
