This is general guidance based on the ChargeX MREC standard. Actual charger behavior varies by manufacturer and firmware version. Always follow on-screen instructions and contact the charging network if you are unsure.

Critical

The emergency stop button on the ABB charger has been pressed. Charging is halted and the charger is locked until an operator resets it.

What to do

  1. Check if the red emergency stop button on the charger has been pressed
  2. If you pressed it by accident, twist the button clockwise to release it
  3. Some ABB units require an operator to reset after an emergency stop
  4. If the button was not pressed, there may be an internal fault. Report it to the network

Who's responsible?

  • This may be something you can fix yourself
  • This is likely a charger hardware issue
