10 Operation and use of charging station
This charging station is operated via a charging pass.
The charging pass first needs to be registered in the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
This necessary registration can be completed by phone by calling Ecotap®B.V. at 0031 (0)
411-210210 during office hours.
As soon as the registration has been completed, the charging station can be operated with
any electric vehicle charging pass (EV charging pass) or other suitable passes, mobiles and
keys.
The charging station’s green light will blink at regular intervals when the station is not being
used.
Use:You start the procedure by holding the charging pass in front of the scanner; you will
hear a beep and the green light will start blinking.
First of all, the plug will be locked into the Mennekes charging socket.
The charging station will then communicate with the vehicle and the back office system, and
then once all safety regulations and payment arrangements have been checked, the
maximum amount of voltage permitted will be transmitted.
The charging procedure will now start automatically, and the light will turn blue.
When the charging process is finished and you hold your charging pass in front of the
scanner again, you will hear two beeps and the green light will start blinking until the plug is
unlocked.
You may now remove the plug.
