Charging schedules
Charge Amps Aura is configured with default charging schedules that to avoid peak electricity demand. These default charging schedules will not enable charging during following hours:
- Weekdays between 8 am – 11 am

Information about the charging schedules and instructions of how you can manage these schedules can be found in the steps of this guide:
Randomised delay
A randomised delay has been added alongside charging schedules to further
alleviate the stress EV charging will likely have on the National Grid over
the coming years.
According to legislation in the UK, this randomised delay must exist by
default on all chargers sold after July 1st, 2022. Charge Amps Aura is
configured to operate, at each relevant time, with a delay of random duration
up to 600 seconds, determined to the nearest second each time. However, the
randomization setting can be disabled by the user.
If you do not wish to have a randomised delay on Charge Amps Aura, want to
read more about the randomised delay or find instructions of how you can
change the settings, follow the instructions in this guide:

Safety
N.B: Always visually check Charge Amps Aura for any signs of damage, vandalism or if the charger has been tampered with before initiating a charging session.
Charge Amps Aura is secured by a locking mechanism on the bottom, fixating the
front and back of Charge Amps Aura together.
Upon completion of the installation process, a tamper evident label will be
attached over the joint between the back and front.
If this label is removed, damaged or if you suspect that Charge Amps Aura has
been tampered with in any way, don’t connect a charging cable or initiate a
charging session. Charge Amps Aura should be powered off and inspected by an
installer or maintenance provider before use.

Charging with RFID identification

It is possible to start and stop a charging session by using RFID authentication. Before staring a charging session, the RFID card needs to be registered in the Fuuse Web portal and assigned to the driver.

If no RFID card has been verified during these 5 minutes, charging needs to be initiated remotely or reactivated by unplugging and reconnecting the vehicle connector. -
Stop charging by disconnecting the EV connector from the car and disconnect the EV plug from the EV socket.
