Activating the Charging Release

This function can protect the charging station from unauthorized use. After activation, the charging station is locked and each charging process must be released via the SMA Energy App, an RFID card, or the user interface. When charging is complete, the charging station is locked again.

Procedure:

  1. Log into the user interface.
  2. Select the menu item Access management in the menu Configuration.
  3. Select [Allow charging].

Information on NFC

NFC (near field communication) is a technology for contactless data exchange in the near field range and is based on high-frequency RFID technology. Many smartphones support NFC and are therefore able to simulate contactless cards for authentication purposes. Under certain conditions, a smartphone (or smartwatch) can also be used for authentication on the SMA eCharger. It is important that the end device uses a static (rather than dynamic) UID.

SMA Solar Technology AG recommends using an RFID card or RFID token with a static UID.
