Mount PD Controller

Do not install or service the charging station in inclement weather. If you work in snow, rain, or wind, you must use a weather-proof shelter that covers all boxes and components.
Ensure that the installation complies with all applicable codes and ordinances.
Keep components out of direct sunlight in a cool area until you install them.
Warranty Limitation
  • If the charging station is not installed, commissioned, or serviced by a ChargePoint certified technician using a ChargePoint-approved method, it is excluded from all ChargePoint and other warranties and ChargePoint is not responsible.
  • You must be a licensed electrician and complete training at https://www.chargepoint.com/partners/training-certification to become ChargePoint certified and to access ChargePoint's web-based installer tools or ChargePoint Installer app.
Use low torque settings when working with power tools during installation or servicing. Over-torquing can damage the equipment.
While installing fasteners inside enclosures, make sure not to drop the fasteners inside conduit openings. You may use conduit caps or covers to temporarily cover the conduit openings.

Parts Needed

Only one part is needed, the PD Controller.

Prepare PD Controller Site

  1. Identify the PD Controller mounting location per the site plan.

  2. Mark the locations of the mounting holes or studs. Ensure level placement.

  3. Prepare the mounting holes or studs. Consult the site plan for any site-specific requirements.

Mount PD Controller

  1. Based on the site configuration and available space, determine a method for lifting and transporting the PD Controller with a forklift. The enclosure can be transported using the hardware components shown below.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

    1. Eye bolts (x2): May be threaded with the lifting straps previously used to lift the Power Link 2000

    2. Lifting brackets (x2): May be slotted onto forklift tines

  2. Lift and transport the PD Controller to its mounting location.

  3. Mount the PD Controller with fasteners (x4). Use fasteners specified by the site plan. Torque to the specification indicated by the site plan.

    Contractor provides the fasteners. Site plans must specify fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface and rated to secure the weight of the PD Controller.

  4. Remove the forklift.

  5. Remove the nuts at lifting brackets (x4 nuts per bracket).

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  6. Remove the lifting brackets.

    Keep lifting brackets for any future removal of the PD Controller (as needed).

    1. AC input conduit

    2. LVClosed Low Voltage input conduit

  2. If the site plan calls for the antenna cables or the controller interface cable to enter the PD Controller through conduit, take the following steps:

    1. Remove the cable gland(s).

    Save all conduit gland parts for later reuse. Do not discard.
