Power Outages
If there is a power outage while Wall Connector is charging a vehicle, charging will automatically resume
within 1 to 3 minutes after power restoration. The Wall Connector will display a solid blue light on the
faceplate to indicate that it is communicating with the vehicle and waiting to resume charging. Alternatively,
pressing the button on the charge handle after power restoration will cause Wall Connector to resume
charging immediately.
Firmware Updates
Firmware updates will be automatically applied to the Wall Connector to improve the user experience and
introduce new features. Connect Wall Connector to Wi-Fi for access to the most recent firmware update. See
Commissioning Procedure on page 28 .
Thermal Monitoring
Wall Connector actively monitors temperatures in multiple locations while charging to ensure stability of the
charge session. Temperature sensors are located at the relays, microcontroller, charge handle, and rear of the
main unit to monitor the temperature of the terminals in the wirebox.
In warmer conditions, Wall Connector may reduce current and charge speed to protect itself. When this
happens, the light bar on the faceplate will continue to display the “streaming green” and a blink code of
three red flashes to indicate that charging has been reduced due to high temperatures. If heat continues to
rise, Wall Connector will stop charging and display a blink code of three red flashes.
NOTE: See Error Codes on page 30 for full list of error codes.
For optimal performance, install Wall Connectors in areas where ambient temperature will remain below
50˚C (122˚F). In rare circumstances, Wall Connector may begin reducing amperage at 35˚C (95˚F) ambient
temperatures. Adjustments to amperage are automatic and do not require user input; Wall Connector will
return to starting current when temperatures are reduced.
