Installation guide for a ChargePoint configured Alpitronic HYC 150 / 300 station

This guide explains all steps needed to get a pre-configured Alpitronic HYC 150 / 300 station connect to be.ENERGISED.

Instructions

1. Remove ChargePoint sticker and add be.ENERGISED QR-code sticker

2. Remove ChargePoint SIM card and add be.ENERGISED SIM-card

3. Install the charger, and configure the be.ENERGISED endpoint

Step-by-step guide

1. Remove ChargePoint sticker and add be.ENERGISED QR-code sticker

On the charging station there is a sticker that is not used anymore. This charger would only be used if the charger is connected to the ChargePoint CMS.

Now add the QR-Code stickers close to the connectors.

It is very important to put the stickers separately to differentiate between the available connectors. When used by the customer, only the scanned QR-code will initiate the charging process on this specific connector.

2. Remove ChargePoint SIM card and add be.ENERGISED SIM card

Remove the existing SIM card and insert the M2M SIM card for be.ENERGISED. (Alternatively, you can use any SIM card with public internet access or use the LAN port to connect via a public internet connection)

If a SIM card is used, the APN-settings need to be changed (explained in step 3)

3. Install the charger, and configure the be.ENERGISED endpoint

Follow the installation guide provided for the hardware installation.

• An ethernet cable is needed to connect your laptop to the Alpitronic station. The ethernet port on the Alpitrocnic station is located inside on the front door (display door) and is marked with XF2 - if XF2 is not available, you can use the ethernet port marked XF1 (depends on the hardware version)
