5.2.4 Deleting RFID cards

In some cases, it is necessary to delete the taught-in RFID cards. For exam­ple, after loss of an RFID card or in oder to charge without authorization. It is
only possible to delete all taught-in RFID cards; deleting a single RFID card
is not possible.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1) Remove the housing cover and connection panel cover to access the
service button (see 5.2.1 Preparing the charging station).

2) Hold the service button pressed in the connection panel until the second
signal tone sounds (approx. 10 seconds).
The charging station will now automatically perform a restart, deleting all
previously taught-in cards in the process.

If the deletion was successful, the LED bar flashes green and charging with­out authorization is possible.

5.2.5 RFID authorization at charging network

If the charging station: is part of a charging network (P30 c-series as slave
charging station: in a master/slave network), then all RFID cards must be
taught in on the master charging station (P30 x-series). The administration of
the permitted RFID cards for the entire charging network is carried out at the
master charging station. Information on this can be found in the specific
"Configuration Manual".

5.3 Authorization via key switch

If the charging station is equipped with a key switch, a charging process can
only be started by means of a key. The key is only necessary for starting the
charging process; after this the key can be removed, since the charging
process is continued even without the key attached.

6 Charging process

6.1 Starting the charging process

The starting of a charging process depends on whether the charging station
has authorization. This is visible on the LED bar:

● Flashing green: No authorization required

● Flashing blue: Authorization required

Information

If the charging station is authorized without a vehicle plugged in, a vehicle
can be plugged in for 60 seconds and this will start a charging session.

Starting the charging process

To start, proceed as follows:

KC-P30Charging process

1) Plug the charging cable into the vehicle.

2) For charging station with charging socket: Plug the charging cable into
the charging socket of the charging station.

right. The key can then be removed.

The charging process can now be started by the vehicle.

If an interruption occurs during the plugging-in or charging process, the
charging station will attempt to automatically restart the charging process
(max. 5 times). If the charging process is still not able to be started after
max. 5 attempts, the charging station goes into an error state. This can be
remedied by properly terminating the charging process and possibly restart­ing the charging station. If the error occurs repeatedly, please contact your
service partner.

6.2 Ending the charging process

To properly end the charging process, proceed as follows:

1) End the charging process on the vehicle
