Prepare for Installation
This document describes how to install a ChargePoint® Express 250 DC fast charging station. An
Express 250 can be installed to operate by itself (called “Standalone”) or to share power with one
other Express 250 for higher throughput (called “Paired”).
Access ChargePoint documents online for each phase of the project:
Important: You must be a licensed electrician and complete an online training course to
become a ChargePoint certified installer. If you do not complete installation training, you
cannot access the ChargePoint Network to complete pinpointing and station setup.
To complete online training and become a certified installer, refer to ChargePoint

Note: For all charging station specifications other than dimensions and weights, refer to the Express
250 Data Sheet found online at chargepoint.com/support/guides.
For assistance, go to chargepoint.com/support and find your region’s technical support number.
Installing the Express 250 requires two people and takes approximately 3-4 hours. This time
estimate does not include the time needed to pull DC and Ethernet cable for a Paired installation if
it is not already done. Paired installation also requires contacting a ChargePoint support technician
to perform any required software updates and configuration.
Check Site Readiness
The Express 250 is installed on a concrete
pad. Details on how to prepare this pad are
described in the Express 250 Site Design
Guide.
All installations require anchor bolts (a).
Standalone installations only require the
two conduit stub-ups on the left side, for
AC wiring and shunt trip wiring (b). Paired
installations also require the wiring shown
on the right: DC wiring and Ethernet
communication (c).
CAUTION: Do not use power tools during installation or servicing. Over-torquing can
damage the equipment.
Important: Always ensure that the installation complies with all applicable codes.
Important: Only the four corner anchor bolts are required for station stability. Newer
charging stations are designed to only use the four corner anchor bolts. If the site is
already designed with six anchor bolts, removing the middle bolts is not required. Always
use the leveling nuts on three corner bolts to level the system, then complete torquing
instructions for all four corner nuts as described in a later section.
WARNING: If not installed correctly, the ChargePoint® Charging Station may pose a fall
hazard, leading to death, personal injury, or property damage. Always use the provided
Concrete Mounting Template shown pre-installed here, or a ChargePoint-approved
surface mounting solution, to install the ChargePoint® Charging Station. Always install in
accordance with applicable codes and standards using licensed professionals. Non-
approved installation methods are performed at the risk of the contractor and void the
Limited One-Year Parts Exchange Warranty.

Before beginning work, check that the site meets these civil and mechanical requirements outlined
below, as illustrated in the following image. Measurements are in mm (in):
•The concrete pad is ready and the concrete is fully cured and level.
•The concrete pad either has a site drawing approved by a structural engineer for this specific
site, OR conforms to these specifications:
•At least 305 mm (12 in) deep (or deep enough to be 305 mm (12 in) below the frost line)
•At least 1296 mm (51 in) on each side
•Walls, fences, or slopes do not prevent water from draining from the pad.
•The concrete mounting template (CMT) is installed in the concrete pad, 50.8 mm (2 in) below
the concrete surface, with anchor bolts in place in the CMT.
•The AC conduit (max 50.8 mm/ 2 in trade size) and shunt trip conduit (max 19.1 mm/ ¾ in size)
are positioned correctly in the CMT and cut down to 76.2 mm (3 in) above grade.
•Paired only: The DC conduit (max 76.2 mm/ 3 in trade size) and Ethernet conduit (max 19.1 mm/
¾ in size) are positioned correctly in the CMT and cut down to 76.2 mm (3 in) above grade.
•The service clearance of open space (not necessarily at system grade) extends a minimum of
610 mm (24 in) beyond the station in front, 1276 mm (50 in) total front to back, 2156 mm
(84.8 in) side to side centered on the station, and 305 mm (12 in) above the station (image
callout a).
•The front of the station has 352 mm (14 in) of space at grade from the front right anchor,
extending 1700 mm (67 in) to the left, without any permanent obstructions (bollards, wheel
stops, etc) (b).
•Charging station sites are positioned so that each station is centered on a parking space (unless
curbside), with the front of the station facing the vehicle. (This maximizes cable reach.)
•The charging station is at least 305 mm (12 in) from any wall as its rear clearance. Stations
positioned back to back are no closer than 610 mm (24 in) shared clearance.
If the site does not meet these basic requirements, contact ChargePoint before continuing.

•Enough space is available around the installation pad to use a forklift and other lifting
equipment, unpack crates, remove packing materials, and allow two people to freely move
throughout the area.
Also ensure that these electrical requirements are in place:
•The appropriate circuit protection, and metering is in place at the installation site.
•A grounding conductor that complies with local codes is properly grounded to earth at the
service equipment or, when supplied by a separate system, at the supply transformer.
•A correctly rated, dedicated breaker is installed for each station, per this table:
•Breakers have shunt trip capability if the site drawing calls for shunt trip wiring.
•All necessary electrical infrastructure has been completed per local codes and ChargePoint
specifications for 3-phase power plus ground, with properly sized wire at the station. (Neutral is
not required for system operation.)
•Cellular signal strength is consistently strong to allow installation and station operation. Use a
cellular signal detection device (such as a Snyper, Octopus, or similar) to ensure the signal is -85
dBm or better. (Note that these numbers are negative, so -70 dBm is stronger than -85 dBm,
and -90 dBm is weaker.) If the signal is below -85 dBm, install multi-carrier, multi-band
repeaters to boost signal strength. Repeaters are often required for installations in underground
garages or enclosed parking structures.
•Paired only: All four DC copper conductors are installed between stations as follows:
Important: Remove any concrete that is not level with the rest of the surface, or you
cannot level the Express 250. Use a grinder or a hammer and chisel to remove any bumps
in the concrete.

Secure Anchors and AC Wiring
This section describes how to receive and anchor a new Express 250 charging station, and wire the
AC conductors. These steps are the same for both Standalone and Paired installations.
Prepare the Express 250 for Mounting
Note: The Express 250 is equipped with both forklift handles and crane lift guides to move and
mount the Express 250. Lifting straps, supplied with the crate, can be used for either configuration.
1. Ensure all four AC and DC conduit stub-ups (if applicable) are trimmed to a height within reach
of the adjustable rodent guard brackets: a minimum of 60 mm (2.4 in) from the ground,
maximum 160 mm (6.3 in). If the site is using armored cable, strip the outer jacket to within the
same height.
2. Ensure no bell ends are left on any conduit after all wires are pulled. Bell ends can interfere with
station placement.
Important: Only the four corner anchor bolts are required for station stability. Newer
charging stations are designed to only use the four corner anchor bolts. If the site is
already designed with six anchor bolts, removing the middle bolts is not required. Always
use the leveling nuts on three corner bolts to level the system, then complete torquing
instructions for all four corner nuts as described in a later section.
Important: If you are replacing an Express 200, skip Step 1. The Express 200 adapter must
be removed as described in Removing the Express 200 Adapter (page 55) prior to Step 2.
250_IGcombo.pdf 17 11/18/2019 3:37:40 PM

3. Remove the plastic caps from all mounting
bolts on the concrete installation pad.
4. Use a wire brush to clean out threads if any
concrete is on the upper bolts.
5. Place a leveling nut and washer
on each of the four corner
bolts.
6. Leave approximately 6.4 mm
(1/4 in) between the bottom of
the leveling nuts and the
concrete. Check nut positions
relative to each other with a
level.
7. Retrieve the lifting straps from either the toolkit or the main crate. If there is no separate toolkit:
rest the crate in a stable position and unlatch the lid. Retrieve the lifting straps just inside and
securely re-fasten the lid.
8. Transport the crate close to the installation site. If using a forklift, position the forks at least
762 mm (30 in) apart to assist with stability.
WARNING: THE CRATE IS HEAVY AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR
DEATH IF DROPPED. DO NOT STAND OR MOVE BENEATH THE
CRATE AS IT IS BEING TILTED. TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE
CRATE TIPPING OR SLIDING.

9. If the crate is horizontal:
a. Thread the lifting straps through the 25 mm (1 in) lifting
holes in the left and right skids of the crate (a).
b. Fasten the other ends of the straps to an appropriately-
rated forklift or crane.
c. Using the forklift or crane, carefully tilt the crate up until
vertical. Use the lifting straps to stabilize the crate and
prevent it from tipping.
10. Once the crate is vertical, unlatch the lid and set it aside.
11. Remove the wooden braces that secure the Express 250 in
the crate.
Note: In early versions of the crate, one top swing arm brace
is secured with 8 screws (4 per side) from the outside of the
crate. If needed, remove this brace using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
12. Remove the foam pad from the ceiling of the crate and the
foam packaging from the top of the swing arms.
Note: For crane access, or for extra room while forklifting, remove the top screws and top panel
of the crate.
13. Loosen (but do not remove) the wingnuts holding the boards that secure the charging station
base. Slide the support boards away from the charging station.
14. Using either a forklift or crane, remove the Express 250 from its crate. Move it to its mounting
location and keep it elevated:
•Using an overhead crane: Thread the supplied lifting straps through the forklift handles, then
through the crane lift guides at the top. DO NOT put the straps through the crane lift guides
only.
•Using a forklift: Insert the forklift blades inside the forklift handles. Position the blades
approximately 70 cm (27.5 in) apart (inside to inside), and the bottom of the blades
approximately 114 cm (45 in) above ground. These measurements vary depending on the
type of forklift used.
Note: If a wall is located behind the installation pad, ensure the forklift blades do not protrude
far enough to hit the wall when moving the Express 250 onto the pad.
.
WARNING: The Express 250 has a high center of gravity. Take care to prevent tipping
when moving the Express 250.
Important: To protect the charging connectors from damage, keep them wrapped
throughout the installation process.

Mount and Secure the Express 250
1. While the Express 250 is elevated, use a 24 mm (15/16 in) hex wrench to remove the bolts and
wooden stands from the bottom of the charging station.
2. Lift the Express 250 over the mounting bolts on the installation pad, ensuring the bolts align
with the corresponding holes in the bottom of the Express 250. Move the service wiring out of
the way to ensure it is not pinched or trapped.
3. Lower the Express 250 onto the anchor
bolts.
Note: The Express 250 should rest on
the leveling nuts and washers, not on
the rails (a). The purpose of the rails is
to ensure the Express 250 is installed a
minimum height from the concrete,
allowing the front and rear panels to sit
flush with the concrete surface.
4. Install a washer and nut onto each of
the four corner mounting bolts to
secure the Express 250. For easier
leveling, leave a 6.4 mm (1/4 in) gap
between the bottom of these top nuts
and the baseplate of the frame.
5. Remove the lifting equipment from
the installation area.
6. Using a level on all four sides, adjust
three of the bottom corner leveling
nuts as needed to ensure that the
Express 250 is both horizontally and
vertically level.
7. When level, tighten leveling top nuts
by hand. Then raise the remaining
(non-leveling) lower nut by hand-
turning until flush against the Express
250’s frame.
