How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: Many home units rely on app authorization; RFID may be optional.

  • Step 1 – Confirm feature:
    • Check the product documentation to ensure your model supports RFID for home use.
  • Step 2 – Test multiple cards:
    • Try more than one authorized RFID card or fob.
  • Step 3 – App configuration:
    • Open the ChargePoint app and verify RFID access is enabled and cards are linked to your account.
  • Step 4 – Internal inspection (qualified):
    • With power OFF, open the housing and locate the RFID reader module.
    • Check the antenna connection and cable to the main board.
  • Step 5 – Replace RFID module:
    • If connections are good and RFID still fails, replace the RFID reader assembly.
