Possible Causes

Defective RFID antenna or reader board, Loose ribbon cable between RFID module and main board, Damaged front panel due to impact or vandalism, Firmware configuration disabling RFID

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: RFID circuits are low‑voltage, but always isolate mains before opening the charger.

  • 1. Check RFID configuration:
    • Access the charger’s configuration interface.
    • Ensure RFID authorization is enabled and that your card is enrolled.
  • 2. Test with another card:
    • Use a known‑working Heidelberg‑compatible RFID card or tag.
    • If no cards are recognized, suspect hardware.
  • 3. Inspect RFID module:
    • Open the front cover and locate the RFID reader module behind the fascia.
    • Check the ribbon cable or connector to the main board; reseat if loose.
    • Inspect for cracks or moisture on the reader board.
  • 4. Front panel check:
    • Ensure no metal stickers or thick covers are placed over the RFID area, which can block the signal.
  • 5. Replace RFID module if necessary:
    • If the reader remains unresponsive, replace the RFID module with the Heidelberg‑specified spare.
