Using the CSR100
CSR 100, an easy to use EV charging station.
harging your electrical vehicle with CSR100 is fun and easy. The charge station can operate in two
modes. In the first mode ”free charging”,is the charging started as soon as you connect the plug to
the charging station. In the second mode, ”RFID mode”,is the charging not started until the user has
been authenticated via RFID.
Free charging
In the free charging mode is the charging started immediately when the charging plug is connected. The LED
strip turns blue when charging starts. See chapter LED strip for explanation of the LED strip behaviour.
RFID mode
In the RFID mode is EV driver required to authenticate him/herself to the charging station before the
charging session starts. The use case for RFID is as follows:
1. EV Driver connects cable to charge station (before RFID tag identification takes place).
2. Charge station blinks twice in green to indicate that it has detected cable connected.
3. EV Driver puts RFID tag above RFID window on charge station
4. Depending on authentication result:
a. Charge station blinks blue when RFID tag detected and accepted. Charging starts immediately
b. Charge station blinks red when RFID is detected and rejected. Charging does not start.
5. For successful RFID authentication is the LED ring blue until the cable is unplugged.
6. END
Note
There are many different standards for RFID tags. Unless Chargestorm has provided the RFID
tags, please contact Chargestorm to confirm that your RFID tags are compatible with CSR100

Troubleshooting techniques
Troubleshooting CSR 100.
his chapter explains how to address problems that can occur with CSR100 in the field.
Power problems
The LED strip is not active
• Check mains (fuses) in local power grid, it could be a power outage problem.
• Check that the incoming power connector is correct and attached to the charge station. This step
requires the unit to be disassembled.
Note
Only certified electricians are allowed to dismount the CSR100
Fuse and ground fault problems
The LED strip is RED
• On CSR100 models with option P, just push the reset button on the bottom of CSR100.
• For other CSR100 models must the bottom part of the enclosure be dismounted since the fuses and
ground fault detector are located inside the unit.
Note
Only certified electricians are allowed to dismount the CSR100
Charging problems

• Check in web portal if charge station is configured in RFID mode. In that case must the RFID tag be
used before the charging starts.
• Check that the electrical vehicle is not fully charged already.
• Reboot the charge station from the web portal in order to eliminate software problems.
• Test the other outlet. If the second outlet works is the problem likely related to a hardware problem on
the failing outlet.
Internet access problems
The LED strip is white
• Check the WAN network status.
o Is the 3G network running?
o Is the Ethernet okay?
o Is the WLAN up?
• Check from the Web portal if it is possible to access eventual charge stations next to the failing charge
station. If that is the case double check ethernet cables or antennas
• Try power cycling the failing charge station. This step requires the unit to be disassembled (unless it is
possible to turn off power on the mains).
• Check the configuration file WAN settings from the CLI. The unit must be dismounted
Note
Only certified electricians are allowed to dismount the CSR100
