1-1Introduction1This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to install any CT500 ChargePoint® Charging Station. Before installing the CT500• Ensure that the appropriate wiring, circuit protection, and metering is in place at the installation location. For details, refer to the specifications (page 1-2) and wiring diagrams (page 1-3).• Ensure that the type of modem in the CT500 station that you are installing is compatible with the type of modem coverage available at the installation site (CDMA or GPRS).• Disconnect power.• Determine the appropriate mounting location for the CT500. The CT500 is designed to be secured to a masonry wall or a hollow wall with wood studs 16” apart. If this is not the case, prepare an appropriate mounting surface. • Familiarize yourself with the installation procedure by thoroughly reviewing Chapter 2 “Installation Instructions.”

Installation Instructions2-3Step 2 - Attach holsterUsing a #2 Phillips screwdriver, attach the holster to the main assembly using the three supplied Holster bolts.
ChargePoint® Charging Stations2-4Step 3 - Remove front panelUsing a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the 2 captive screws located on each side of the front panel. Pull the front panel downward to remove.
Installation Instructions2-5Step 4 - Mount to wallDrill four 3/16” holes in the wall, as illustrated. Use the supplied template to ensure correct alignment.IMPORTANT: The top of the CT500 must be mounted no higher than a maximum height of 48” above the surface to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).MasonrySheetrockBare studs
ChargePoint® Charging Stations2-6Step 4 - Cont’dAlign the CT500 to the mounting surface, and fasten to the wall using a 3/8” socket wrench to fasten the four ¼” x 2” lag bolts, fasten it to the wall.
Installation Instructions2-7Step 5 - Install conduitChoose the appropriate conduit opening and, if necessary, remove its cover.NOTE: The CT500 has four conduit openings, three of which are covered. If you remove a cover, use it to cover the remaining unused conduit opening.After running the wiring through ¾” (19 mm) conduit, insert the conduit into the selected opening.The CT500 has four conduit openings—two openings from the back and two from the bottom1234
ChargePoint® Charging Stations2-8Step 6 - Connect wires to wiring terminalsPull the 240V L1 and L2 wires, and the Ground wire, into body assembly and connect to wiring terminals. Strip wires ¼” (6 mm), insert in terminal block, and tighten screws to 18 ½ inch-lbs (2.1 Nm).IMPORTANT:• Requires dedicated 40A breaker.• Use copper conductors only.• Do NOT provide GFCI protection at panel. The CT500 has built-in GFCI protection.• In areas with frequent thunder storms, add surge protection at the service panel for all circuits.Before proceeding with the next step, test the unit by restoring power. When the circuit is live, you should see a sequence of power-up message on the CT500’s display. If this is not the case, turn off power and check the wiring connections.
Installation Instructions2-9Step 7 - Replace front panelAlign the front panel with the main assembly and push upwards into place until the edges meet.Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two captive screws located on each side of the front panel.Insert the connector into the holster.
ChargePoint® Charging Stations2-10Step 8 - Attach antennasAttach the antennas to the top of the main assembly as shown. Turn the antenna clockwise to hand-tighten.NOTE: The CT500 ships with either one or two antennas, depending on the specific model that was ordered.Follow these rules when installing the antenna(s):• Always install the antenna WITH the yellow band on the right side.• Always install the antenna WITHOUT the yellow band on the left side.You have now finished installing the CT500 ChargePoint® Charging Station.Always install the antenna with the yellow band on the right sideright sideleft side
