How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: De-energize the charger before removing front covers or RFID modules.

  • Test with multiple cards: Try more than one authorized RFID card or tag to rule out a defective card.
  • Check card database: For Mennekes chargers with configuration software or app, verify that the card IDs are correctly stored and not expired or disabled.
  • Inspect RFID reader: Examine the reader window for cracks, moisture, or physical damage. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Module connection: Open the unit and check the low-voltage connector between the RFID reader and the main control PCB. Reseat the connector and inspect for bent pins.
  • Firmware / configuration reset: If supported, perform a configuration reload or firmware update to restore the authorization database.

If the reader still fails to detect any card, replace the RFID reader module.
