Teltonika RUT 240 The Charge Point includes a router in order to allow the Charging Station to communicate and remote access. This device is used normally to establish communications with a CSMS so the Cahrge Point can be remotely managed. It also allows remote access, which is very useful for maintenance, remote diagnosis and eventually, to adjust the settings of the Charging Station, such as tariffs or language.

Wallbox & Post eVolve Rapid Service Manual Troubleshooting introduction The Charge Point can report about different sort of errors, coming from different parts or devices. When the ‘Error screen’ appears, the ‘Information’ button has to be pressed in order to see the error message, as the one seen below, which needs to be decoded to understand what is happening to the Charging Station:...
Page 49
Troubleshooting & Errors This section provides the necessary information to decode, indentify and understand the errors. However, eventually, Circontrol staff help may be needed support@circontrol.com to solve the issues. In that case, please, contact to get help. When contacting Circontrol, it is important to provide some background information regarding the issue.

Stopping process. • Permanent error. 2 — Does the error appear with a specific car model? Circontrol performs interoperability tests periodically with the new brand cars of the market in order to ensure a correct compatibility between charging stations and EVs.
Page 51
Service staff can perform some basic checks on those situations where they don’t have the tools to decode the error or access to the EVSE. These checks can provide helpful information and eventually fix the issue. BASIC CHECKS • Verify that no MCBs have been trigered. •...

Wallbox & Post eVolve Rapid Service Manual Log files Log files provide useful information about the Charging Station. All the steps it goes trough, the current status, detail about the charging session, error code, etc. All this information will be helpful when trying to locate and identify an error. However, there is a very important point to take into account: •...

Wallbox & Post eVolve Rapid Service Manual Decoding the error There is a specific order which has to be followed to decode the error. First step is to identify the parts of the error. Engine errors DC errors As indicated in the picture above there are ‘Engine errors’ and also ‘DC errors’. Regardless of the error type, the check order always must be: Engine errors DC errors.
Page 55
ENGINE ERRORS This part is divided in three different levels. Every level has its own code and a table for consulting the meaning of the code. The correct order to check these levels is: Socket: One plug may have more than one socket. Error can affect one socket and the plug still being available.

Wallbox & Post eVolve Rapid Service Manual Introduce the lines from the error code in the Connector faulted and Converter section. Example about how to fill the decoder tool.
Page 61
Once error code has been introduced, the right side of the decoder tool will show indications regarding the issue, the faulty component or the possible causes.. It is shown the curernt error (or alarm) and the historical. In some cases, historical is helpful in order to understand how the charger went into the error state.
Page 62
Wallbox & Post eVolve Rapid Service Manual Error code in remote As it has been shown at the beginning of this chapter, error can be consulted directly from the screen, by pressing the connector in fault status and the ‘Information’ button. However, in most cases, service staff wants to know this code in advance in order to prepare the on-site assistance.
