  3. Connect the power cable
    Choose between three entry options (top, back and bottom). Punch out the hole.
    Carefully pull the terminal cover downwards to remove it. Do not pull it towards you. The cover is much easier to remove if you gently press on the retaining tab (through the hole by the configuration switch) while pulling downwards. The Zaptec Go needs an upstream circuit breaker and dual pole RCD Type A

  4. Secure cable
    Prevent the cable from being dislocated by using the cable clamp and screws (max torque 3 Nm). Use the cable seals to make the installation water resistant.

  5. Electrical connection

Support and repairs

If you discover an issue, please read the Troubleshooting section before contacting Zaptec Support, or visit zaptec.com/support.


Troubleshooting

The charging station is not online (4G LTE-M)

  • Inadequate network coverage.
  • 4G not activated on the charging station.
  • 4G base station not supporting LTE -M.

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi

Check that the SSID (network name) and the password for the Wi-Fi are correct. If the network is not visible, you must check that the Wi-Fi access point uses 2.4 GHz (5 GHz is not supported), and that it uses channels between 1 and 11.
If the SSID is hidden, you must enter the SSID and password manually using “Other” in the network list.

Charging does not start

  • If the status indicator is yellow, this is because it is waiting for authorization. Check if authorization is enabled.
  • If it is green, then check that the charger is scheduled to charge* and has the correct current allocated in the Zaptec portal**.

*In accordance with UK Smart Charging legislation, the charger is supplied pre-configured with a schedule that prevents charging between 8am and 11am and 4pm and 10pm on weekdays. During these times, charging will be paused. The schedule can be disabled or amended by using Configure product in the Zaptec App.
**Zaptec Portal is the brains behind our smart charging infrastructure. It continuously monitors, balances, and optimizes the load between the various charging stations.

The charging is slow

The limitation on the charging effect will be governed by the weakest of the following factors: main power grid, the circuit breaker, charging cable, On- Board Charger (OBC), Eco Mode (in selected countries).

  • Check the standalone current setting is set to the correct value by repeating the «Install Zaptec Go in the Zaptec App»
  • Check the installation and charger power management settings in the Zaptec Portal. Read more on zendesk.zaptec.com
