Possible Causes

Failed RFID antenna or reader module, Damaged front panel near reader, Loose RFID harness to control board, Misconfigured access control settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: RFID issues do not affect electrical safety, but do not open the unit with power ON.

  • Test multiple cards: Try more than one authorized RFID card or fob to rule out a single bad card.
  • Check orientation and distance: Hold the card flat against the reader area for a few seconds; some readers are sensitive to orientation.
  • Verify access settings: In the FLO app or portal, confirm that RFID access is enabled and that the card IDs are correctly registered.
  • Technician inspection: A technician should open the unit, check the RFID reader module and its harness, and test for proper operation.
  • Replace reader: If the module is defective, replace the RFID reader assembly.
