OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon powering up the EVSE:
the device completes
its internal checks and turns the STATUS light to a
steady green indicating normal operation without any
faults detected. If the STATUS light flashes red, a fault
was detected such as GFCI check, missing ground,
software error, etc., and it is not safe to operate the
EVSE. On a fault condition the EVSE may attempt to
recover by resetting itself.
Note that in normal operation
some faults may re-
quire resetting the unit through the SET button to re-
cover even after the fault is removed
.
Get familiar with your EVSE control pushbutton and
indicators as all interaction with the unit is done via
the single pushbutton and two LED indicator lights.
The SET button functionality is explained in the table
below, as is the behavior of the two LEDs.
Under normal operation, the device is a plug
-
and
-
forget appliance and you should never have to inter-
act with it, other than to look at the indicator lights to
check the status of the charging session. The blue LED
is useful when initially adding the unit to a home au-
tomation network and later checking its connectivity
status.
At this point, you can plug
-
in to a vehicle for simple,
unattended charging, or set up for convenient use
with our app and optionally our ElekNet IoT Services.
The NETWORK light will flash blue if the device is not
connected to an IoT service. Refer to the following
instructions for setup with Zigbee or Wi
-
Fi networks.
