Description of other settings on this page:
•
Enable LED Ring Dark Mode
Turns the light bar off … turns on for 1 second when it is changing state.
•
Allow vehicles requiring ventilation to charge
The IEC 61851 and SAE J1772 standards allow for vehicles (which are no longer common)
which have batteries which may outgas during charging. Setting this option will allow
these types of EVs to charge, so this should only be allowed for outdoor installations or
indoor installations when it can be verified that adequate ventilation is present.
•
Rated Current for Installation (Amps)
The DuraStation Pedestal is rated for 30 Amps but there may be some installations in
which DuraStation owners want to restrict charging to lower currents. This option sets
the maximum current that the vehicle can draw per SAE J1772.
•
Start Charging Delay after Power-up
If a car is connected and authorized and power is lost, when power is restored it will start
charging again automatically. This setting inserts a random delay from 0 to the value
selected in the start-up time after power is restored. A setting of 0 means no delay.
•
Station, Group and Locality IDs
Optional settings that can be used to identify stations,
e.g.
station can be labeled as
Station #4 in Group 3 in Locality 1, where Group is parking facility #3 in city of New York.

IMPORTANT!
With the exception of Free Access mode, DuraStation owners must use their WattStation
Connect accounts to select how RFID Access mode and/or Payment modes are enabled. For
example, RFID card enrollment, payment set-up, etc. must be performed on the owner’s
WattStation Connect account.
Note that there is a convenient method of using the stations to enroll RFID cards. There is
an option on the WattStation Connect owner’s account to put a station into “enrollment
mode”. When a station is put into enrollment mode any card that is swiped at that station
will be enrolled for all stations in that station’s group.
These station configuration settings are there to so that the VFD display will properly
communicate to the operator of the station what authorization mode is required.
