IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that must be followed during installation of a ChargePoint® Networked Charging Station.

Grounding instructions

The ChargePoint® 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
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

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 page 1-3 of this document)

• CT2100 Charging Stations Data Sheet (available at www.coulombtech.com by clicking the “Products”
link, then the “Library” link)

• Mounting Template for Bollard Mount and Wall Mount stations (provided in this document and in the
box containing the station’s body)

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

scale using 11” x 17” paper.

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

It is also recommended that before you begin installing charging stations, you thoroughly review the
contents of this document to familiarize yourself with the required installation steps.
