7.4 CONCLUDE THE CONFIGURATION • If the charging station is configured for online connection, contact DEFA support to verify connection to the back-end system. For contact information, see chapter 11, page 44. Once the installation and configuration of the charging station is completed, perform a test to verify the charging station operates as intended.
Page 34
8. Testing and verification • Check that the charging station LEDs indicate correct status. Connect a DEFA test box to the charging station. Set state to “C” (Charge), the charging station should either indicate a steady blue light - vehicle charging, or steady green - awaiting authentication.
