Introduction
This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to install any CT500 ChargePointÂŽ 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 Instructions
Step 5 - Install conduit
Choose 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.
The CT500 has four
conduit
openings—two
openings from the
back and two from
the bottom
After running the wiring through ¾”
(19 mm) conduit, insert the conduit
into the selected opening.

Step 6 - Connect wires to wiring terminals
Pull 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.

Step 7 - Replace front panel
Align 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.

Step 8 - Attach antennas
Attach 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 ChargePointÂŽ Charging Station.
