Note on electrical power
The CPE200 requires both 480 VAC, 3 phase (L1, L2, L3, G) and 120 VAC, single phase (L, N, G). The 120 VAC can
be brought from a nearby 208/120V panel or, if allowed by the local AHJ, a low power transformer can be set at
the installation site, eliminating the need for a second conduit run and second disconnect switch. In either case,
both the 480 VAC and 120 VAC must be brought into the disconnect enclosure and run through the same 1-1/4”
conduit that feeds the CPE200.
For details on using a transformer to supply 120 VAC to the CPE200, refer to Appendix B.

Planning your installation
The CPE200 is fastened to a prepared concrete pad using four anchor bolts (not supplied). The pad must be level
and flat and be a minimum of 2,500 PSI. The concrete pad must support the size and weight of the CPE200 and
comply with all applicable codes. Consult an engineer if necessary. For details on preparing the concrete pad,
see Appendix A.
DANGER: Do not install the CPE200 in a commercial car repair facility or within 20 feet (6 meters) of an
outdoor fuel dispensing device due to risk of explosion.
Charging cable proximity
When choosing the installation location, it is important to ensure the CPE200’s charging plugs can easily reach
cars’ charging ports without effort or strain on either end. The CPE200 charging cables can reach up to 10.5 feet
(3.2 meters).
Install the CPE200 at the end of a stall type parking space or island with pull through capability.
Do not install the CPE200 curbside on a roadway.
If installed at the end of a parking space, it can either be centered at the end of the parking space or positioned up
to 12” to the left as you face the rear of the space.

Installing the CPE200
Step 1: Positioning and unpacking the shipping crate
1Position the crate with the bottom of the CPE200 as close to the installation pad as possible.
The CPE200T is enclosed in a wooden crate with foam packing. Using appropriate lifting equipment (forklift,
pallet jack, engine hoist, crane, etc) and be sure to loop the CPE200’s lifting straps onto the lifting equipment.
Always lift and transport the crate horizontally.
CAUTIONS:
•Transport the CPE200 in its horizontal position only.
• Ensure the lifting equipment is appropriately rated for shipping weight (728lb / 330kg) and crate
dimensions of (79” (H) x 30” (W) x 13” (D) / 2,006mm (H) x 762mm (W) x 330mm (D)).
• Check that the crate is in good condition and that the CPE200 is not damaged. If damage is evident,
make a formal complaint to the transporter and notify ChargePoint at 1-877-850-4562.
2Remove the packaging.
Unscrew all crate fasteners and remove all
panels and loose packaging. Parts shown in
orange are removed prior to positioning
the vertical position.
IMPORTANT:
Collect all screws and place in a plastic
bag or tape together for proper disposal.
Leave no screws in the parking area to
reduce the risk of puncturing tires.
Please recycle or reuse packing materials.

Step 2: Positioning the CPE200 vertically
DANGER: Never stand the CPE200 vertically without having it attached to lifting equipment using the lifting
straps. The CPE200 must remain attached to lifting equipment until the mounting bolts have been installed
(as described on page 3-7).
1Securely attach the lifting straps at the top of the CPE200 to the lifting apparatus and gently raise the
CPE200 to a standing position on its shipping baseplate.
NOTE: The CPE200 is 6.85 ft (2,090 mm) high, including the shipping baseplate.
2When the CPE200 is vertical, set it down but keep tension on the lifting straps.
3Remove all remaining wrapping from the CPE200 with the exception of its two charging connectors. The
wrapping will protect the plugs through the installation process.
