Dropdown ListUnlocking the connector

First, try unlocking the connector in the Fuuse Platform:

  1. Go to 'Chargers' Under the 'Network' section.
  2. Click 'See Details' of that charger.
  3. Select the 'Actions' dropdown at the top right in the details.
  4. Choose 'Unlock Connector'.
  5. You can select the problem connector and click 'Continue'.

 

Hard reset the charger
If unlocking the connector doesn’t work, you can action a Hard Reset. This is done by following the first three steps to unlock a charger and then choosing the Hard Reset option.

A hard reset will immediately stop any ongoing charge sessions currently in progress for that charger. So, it is important to be aware that charging sessions on all connectors for that charger will be terminated.
