Grid Code Configuration

1. Check the local regulations and the electricity supplier requirements for vehicle to grid, vehicle to business and vehicle to home features.
2. Wrong settings may cause problems, disruptions and equipment damage to the electrical system and to the distribution network.
3. Wrong use may be subject to fines.

1. Quasar can be used for discharging in a secure, reliant, and compliant way by enabling the grid codes applicable for the region the charger is located.
   If Grid Codes are not correctly configured, discharge can not be enabled.
   Only qualified and authorized personnel must configure or edit the grid codes.
   In order to configure the Grid Codes, the Charger must NOT be charging/discharging.

2. On the myWallbox App, connect to your charger, go to settings and enter the Installation Options menu.

3. Grid Code configuration is protected by a password. Introduce the password as shown in the below format:
   P/W : 1 + Last three digits of the serial number
   NOTE: If incorrect passwords are entered for 3 consecutive attempts, you will have to wait for 3 mins. for the next attempt.
   
   

4. Check that the default selected grid code (based on the charger’s location) is correct. If there are multiple grid codes, select the most appropriate one. In case the p/w is requested again, introduce it as described in step C above.
   

5. Click Edit to configure the editable parameters. In case the p/w is requested again, introduce it as described in step C above.
