Charger powers on but will not start charging; LEDs remain in ready/standby state and vehicle shows "charging not started" with no error code.

Possible Causes

Smart scheduling preventing immediate start, App or backend set to disallow charging, Faulty start button or touch panel (if fitted), Misconfigured minimum charge current in Rolec settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the vehicle is in Park and correctly connected before troubleshooting.

  • Check schedules: In the Rolec app, verify that no delayed start or off‑peak schedule is active that would block immediate charging.
  • Override smart control: Temporarily disable smart charging, load management, or tariff‑based control to test basic operation.
  • Test manual start: If the unit has a physical start/stop button, press it firmly and observe LED changes. If unresponsive, the button or touch panel may be faulty.
  • Verify minimum current: In installer settings, ensure the minimum current is not set higher than the vehicle can accept; reset to default if unsure.
  • If still no start: The control PCB may not be issuing the contactor drive signal. Further diagnosis by a technician is required and may lead to PCB replacement.
