Connection
An internet connection is required to make full use of Aura’s potential. Check the
following connection:
•Wi-Fi
WiFi access point with good coverage available for connection1.
•LAN
Network cable, Cat5 or better, must be available.
It is possible to connect up to four Aura in series. Use a router or an Aura4G
as an access point.
•4G (LTE) Option
Connection via 4G requires an Aura, part number 101010-LTE, in order to
operate. Does not apply to standard Aura with part number 101010, which
can only be connected via W iFi and fixed LAN.
1 Note: A wireless connection is deactivated if one of the LAN ports is actively
connected. Since the 101010-LTE Aura 2 x 22kW w Mobile Gateway is supplied with its
gateway connected to the LAN port, this connection must be deleted in order to
connect the unit via WiFi.

How to use Aura
Aura is designed to enable you to easily charge your vehicle, whether you have an
electric car or a hybrid.
When you park within the correct cable length between your vehicle and Aura,
charging can be initiated after you have connected the cable to one of the charging
sockets (see item 4 in the model overview). The charging socket is equipped with a
cover that you need to open in order to connect to Aura. W hen the LED ring around the
socket is illuminated in blue, this indicates that charging has started.
Aura is equipped with an RFID reader for user identification. In order to charge your
vehicle using RFID, the user needs to use their RFID identification (type A 13.56 MHz).
Charging without RFID
1. Connect the charging cable to the car, lift the socket cover and connect the
charging cable to the charging station.
When the car is charging the socket light is blue.
When car charging is complete the socket light turns yellow.
2. Disconnect the charging cable from the car and from the charging station.
Charging using RFID
1. Connect the charging cable to the car, lift the socket cover and connect the
charging cable to the charging station. The socket light turns yellow and the
RFID light flashes blue.
NB! If the other socket is not already in use, it will turn dark and be unavailable
for use during the 5 minutes RFID verification time window.
If no RFID has been verified during the 5 minutes time window, charging needs
to be initiated remotely.
To reactivate the socket after a time out, unplug and reconnect the charging
cable.
