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.
