Install Power Link 2000 Options

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.

Sequential Charging Kit

If the site plan indicates the Power Link 2000 must be configured for sequential charging (one HV DCClosed High Voltage Direct Current input for two power paths), follow procedures below to install the Sequential Charging Kit.

  1. Unpack the Sequential Charging Kit. Confirm all parts listed below are present.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

    1. Bus bar bridges (x2)

    2. M8 captive washer nuts (x4)

  2. Install the bus bar bridges (x2). The bridges mount onto studs located on the HV DCClosed High Voltage Direct Current bus bars.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  3. Fasten with concentric washer nuts (x4). Torque to 12.2 Nm (108 in-lb).

Ethernet to USB Kit

If the site plan indicates the Power Link 2000 must be configured with a hardwire Ethernet connection to a network server, follow procedures in this section to install the Ethernet to USBClosed Universal Serial Bus Kit and the hardwire connection.

  1. Unpack the Ethernet to USBClosed Universal Serial Bus Kit. Confirm all parts listed below are present.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

    1. Ethernet to USBClosed Universal Serial Bus module

    2. M5 star washer nuts (x2)

    3. Zip ties (x5)

    4. USBClosed Universal Serial Bus 3.0 Type B to Type C cable

  2. Locate the mounting studs (x2).

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  3. Install M5 star washer nuts (2) partially onto the studs. Thread the nuts only halfway onto each stud.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  4. Mount the Ethernet to USBClosed Universal Serial Bus module onto the studs. Slide the module down to seat the notched tabs onto the studs.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  5. Torque nuts (x2) to 4.5 Nm (40 in-lb).

  6. Plug the USBClosed Universal Serial Bus-B end of the USBClosed Universal Serial Bus cable into the module.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  7. Route the cable through the door cable guide and along the main cable harness to the Control and Communication Module (CCOMClosed Control and Communications Module) located on the Power Link 2000 door.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  8. Connect the cable to the CCOMClosed Control and Communications Module in any of the three USBClosed Universal Serial Bus-C ports.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  9. Zip tie the USBClosed Universal Serial Bus cable to the main cable harness.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  10. Pull the hardwire Ethernet cable (Cat6 STPClosed Shielded Twisted Pair) and cut to length for landing at the

    Ethernet to USBClosed Universal Serial Bus module. Allow for a service loop.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  11. Field crimp an RJ45 connector onto the Ethernet cable. Use straight-through T568B pattern.

    Do not ground the shield at this end of the Ethernet cable. Ground the shield at the end of the Ethernet cable that connects to the network server.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  12. Test the Ethernet cable for functionality.

    If using a Paige OSP Shielded GameChanger cable for a wire run length greater than 100 m (328 ft), follow the test procedure specified by Paige. See Paige GameChanger Resources.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  13. Route the Ethernet cable through wireway clamps and connect it to the Ethernet to USBClosed Universal Serial Bus module.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  14. Route and connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the network server.

Soft Shutdown Switch

If the site plan indicates the Power Link 2000 must be configured with a soft shutdown switch, follow procedures below to install the soft shutdown switch.

  1. Pull the soft shutdown switch wiring through the conduit.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  2. Loosen set screws (x2) at the soft shutdown terminal.

  3. Twist the soft shutdown switch wires together, using a minimum of five twists per foot.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  4. Route the twisted wires through the wireway clamps (if necessary, use cable ties) towards the soft shutdown terminal. Cut the wires to length for landing at the terminal.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  5. Strip the wire ends.

    Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

  6. Insert the wires into the soft shutdown terminal. Torque set screws (x2) to 0.6 Nm (5.3 in-lb).
