Possible Causes
Faulty RFID antenna or reader module, Damaged front panel around reader area, Loose RFID module connection, Incompatible or unprogrammed RFID tags
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Note: Some ABB home chargers use RFID for user authentication.
- Test with known-good tag: Use an RFID card or fob that previously worked to rule out tag failure.
- Check settings: Ensure RFID authorization is enabled in the ABB configuration and that the tags are enrolled.
- Avoid interference: Remove other RFID or metal objects near the reader when presenting a tag.
- Inspect module (technician): Verify that the RFID reader module and antenna are securely connected to the UI board.
- Replace RFID module: If the reader remains unresponsive, replace the RFID reader module or front panel assembly.
