2) When install the new filter mats, the side without steel wire should be outside; Exhaust Fan: 1) Check the status of fans in advance, if there is damage, replace the fan. 4.7 Charging Test When all the check items have been tested, use the APP to scan the code or swipe the card to start, and the charging time for each charging gun is not less than 10 minutes.
Corrective Maintenance 5.1 Common Issue 5.1.1 Could not Access Web Panel Phenomenon: Could not access web panel (192.168.1.136) successfully. Analysis: 1) Wrong website address; 2) IP address of your PC is not configured correctly; 3) Unstable LAN connection; 4) Hardware issue (A7 core board/A7 board/Router). Solution: 1) Check the IP address setting of your PC;...
5.1.2 No Network Connection Phenomenon: EVSE is offline on the web panel in “Network State”. Analysis: 1) SIM card is not inserted correctly; 2) Incorrect APN configuration; 3) Unstable 4G signal onsite; 4) SIM card is out of charge 5) Non-supported frequency band; 6) Unstable WIFI signal;...
Solution: If using SIM card: 1) Check whether SIM card is inserted correctly. And SIM card should be inserted when EVSE is powered off. If inserting SIM card when EVSE is powered on, rebooting is necessary. 2) Check whether the SIM card is workable and APN configuration with SIM card operator and confirm the configuration in web panel.
Analysis: 1) EVSE is out of power; 2) EVSE is not connected to network successfully; 3) Backend configuration is not set correctly in web panel or backend; 4) 4G communication module or A7 board is broken. Solution: 1) Check whether EVSE is powered on. If not, check whether there is no power. 2) Check the network connection;...

7) If not, measure the resistance between CANL and CANH of power module socket, 60Ω normally. If abnormal, remove the J9 port on A7 board (CB01), measure the resistance between CANL and CANH of power module socket, 120Ω normally. If abnormal, replace the 120Ω resistor on the power module socket.
5.1.5 Meter Fault Phenomenon: “Meter fault” is shown on the display. Analysis: 1) Meter itself is broken; 2) A7 board is broken; 3) The communication line between meter and A7 board is unstable. Solution: 1) Check whether the meter is power on. If not, check the input power. 2) Check the communication line between meter and A7 board.
Analysis: 1) The input voltage is over 400V-10% 2) Power module is broken. Solution: 1) Measure the input voltage, if abnormal, contact the installation team. 2) Monitor whether there are some power modules error during charging. If so, try to replace it. 5.1.7 Input Over-Voltage Phenomenon:...
1) Check whether there is water, stone or something inside the charging connector. If so, clean or dry it. 2) Measure the insulation resistance of input power cable and charging connector as the steps during commissioning. Correct the components with issue. 3) Check the wiring of insulation detection module.
Solution: 1) If the door is open when door sensor is enabled. Close the door or disable door sensor; 2) Check the wiring on the door sensor; 3) Check the wiring on A7 board (CB01); 4) Check the distance between the door sensor and the door when the door is closed. If too far, try to install the door sensor bit outside.
Solution: 1) Check whether the emergency button is pressed. If so, reset it. 2) Use multimeter to measure whether emergency stop button is operating normally. If not, replace emergency stop button. 3) Use multimeter to check short circuit of emergency button as well as wrong connection. If the circuit is abnormal, change it.

relay. If not, replace the A7 board. If there is, test the continuity with multimeter. Replace the broken one. 3) Test the continuity of fuse protector with multimeter. Replace the broken one. 4) Monitor the status of power modules during charging and replace the abnormal one. 5) Find another EV for testing.
5.1.12 No response after plug in Phenomenon: No response after plug in Analysis: 1) Something wrong with the charging connector; 2) Abnormal CP voltage; 3) Abnormal line connection of SECC board; Solution: 1) Check whether there is water, stone or something inside the charging connector. If so, clean or dry it; 2) Measure the voltage between CP and PE when the charging connector is standby, 12V normally.
4) Check the wiring between SECC and M4 board. 5.1.13 No response after swipe RFID card Phenomenon: No response after swipe RFID card Analysis: 1) Wrong configuration; 2) UID of RFID card is not uploaded in backend; 3) Incompatible format 4) Card reader is broken Solution: 1) Check the configuration in web panel;...
2) If EVSE is set in “Card Authentication” mode, make sure UID of RFID card is uploaded in backend-by- backend supplier; 3) Place the RFID card before card reader area for 2s and then remove it. 4) Replace the RFID card reader. 5) If the issue still, send the log file and the specification of RFID card to Star Charge for analysis.
3) Check whether there is input and output voltage from switch mode power supply. If not, replace the switch mode power supply. 5.1.15 Display is not working Phenomenon: Display is not working. Analysis: 1) No input power; 2) Poor connection; 3) Display is broken.
