IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that must be followed during installation of a ChargePoint® Networked Charging Station.
Install using 2mm (12AWG) or larger copper conductors rated for at least 75°C.

Grounding instructions

The ChargePoint® Networked Charging Station must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-grounding
conductor is to be run with circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE). Connections to the EVSE shall comply with all local codes and ordinances.

FCC Compliance Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s

Introduction

This document describes how to install any ChargePoint® Networked Charging Station in the CT1000
family. It includes step-by-step instructions for installing the body assembly for the following stations:

• CT1001 Bollard Mount (see Chapter 2)

• CT1002 Pole Mount (see Chapter 3)

• CT1003 Wall Mount (see Chapter 4)

After you install the body assembly, you will be ready to install the head assembly. The head assembly
ships in a separate box and is identical for each type of station. The procedure you follow to install a head
assembly is also the same for each type of station. See Chapter 5.

Before installing stations

The instructions provided in this guide assume that the appropriate wiring, circuit protection, and
metering is in place at the installation location. Before you install, you must also ensure that the type of
modem in each station you are installing is compatible with the type of modem coverage available at the
installation site (CDMA or GPRS).

To assist in the process of preparing the installation site, thoroughly review the following documents:

• wiring diagrams (provided on pages 3 and 4 of this document)

®

• CT1000 and CT2000 ChargePoint

• Assessing Wireless Coverage for a Proposed Installation Site*

• Base Plate Template (for Bollard Mount charging stations)*

IMPORTANT: If you are printing the PDF version of the Base Plate Template, be sure to print at

1:1 scale.

Note: If you are installing a Bollard Mount charging station, you may want to prepare the site by
following the instructions in “Step 4 - Install J-Bolts and conduit” on page 2-5 of this document.
