Express 250 Basic Operation

This guide describes how to operate and maintain the ChargePoint® Express 250 DC fast charging station as a station owner or facility manager. For full charging station specifications and ratings, refer to the Express 250 Data Sheet at: chargepoint.com/support/guides/

Power On the System
The Express 250 charging station is powered on by the installation team at the site’s electrical panel, immediately after completing installation. The charging station does not have a separate power switch.When power is turned on at the panel after it is first installed, the station runs a self-diagnostic that includes:

Electrical safety checks
Lighting checks
Display panel visual checks
Component operation checks (such as fans and contactors)
Installation Wizard process (allows installer to complete configuration and pinpointing of the station on user maps)
Network connectivity checks

When power is turned on at the panel after servicing or a power outage, the station runs a self-diagnostic to ensure safe and correct operation:

Electrical safety checks
Lighting checks
Display panel visual checks
Component operation checks (such as fans and contactors)
Network connectivity checks

If any errors are found, the station displays error codes on the website dashboard. See Section 3 for further information on diagnostics.

Power Off the System
The Express 250 does not need to be powered off except during service. The charging station does not have a separate power switch. The service technician turns off power at the electrical panel before beginning work. There is no need for a software command to power off the station; hardware is not harmed by disconnecting the circuit’s breaker. Shunt trip wiring (wires that can be run to a separate disconnect switch) is available as a standard feature on the Express 250. Whether this feature is used, and where the switch is located, varies by site. For more information on how shunt trip wiring is designed and implemented, refer to the Express 250 Site Prep Guide and the Express 250 Installation Guide. For more information on diagnosing circuit trips, see Section 3 of this guide.

Important:
You must be a licensed electrician and complete an online training class to become a ChargePoint Certified Installer or Service Technician, and to get a login for ChargePoint. If you do not complete this training, you are unable to complete installation or service procedures. Go to: chargepoint.com/installers

DANGER: RISK OF SHOCK
Before performing any procedure, the technician must disconnect the power to the Express 250 at the service panel. Follow standard practice and local code to de-energize the applicable circuit and lock out/tag out the disconnect before proceeding. Use a multimeter to test that power is off. Keep power off for the circuit until all cover panels are correctly reinstalled and the work scope is completed. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Responsibility for Maintenance
The ChargePoint Express 250 charging station needs minimal preventative maintenance over its lifetime. ChargePoint’s network connection monitors for system health and sends an alert when corrective maintenance might be required.Maintenance can be performed by ChargePoint technicians if the station is covered by an Assure maintenance agreement; otherwise, the customer can send their own technicians for training to become certified by ChargePoint to perform the work. For more information on service certification, see: chargepoint.com/installers

Site Manager’s Responsibilities
The site or facility manager where the ChargePoint charging station is installed has a few minimal duties for general site maintenance:

Ensure the station is free of debris or any substance blocking the front and rear vents.
Keep snow below 0.25 m (10 in) to ensure proper ventilation.
Check each station monthly for vandalism or dAamage. If the station is marked, contact ChargePoint for replacement signs. If the station appears damaged, contact ChargePoint for a service visit.
Check each charging cable monthly for any signs of wear or damage. If a cable appears damaged, contact ChargePoint for a service visit.

CAUTION:
Do not pressure wash the charging station. Pressurized water could damage the system. To clean the charging station, use a damp cloth.

Preventative Maintenance

ChargePoint, or a ChargePoint certified technician, should perform service checks at the intervals listed below.DANGER: RISK OF SHOCK. Any maintenance that requires any removal of panels must be done when the system is de- energized.
