NEW: ZENCHARGER SOLAR & CAPACITY SETTING
Stroohm always tries to offer all its customers the latest developments. That is why we are now introducing, thanks to a new “over-the-air” firmware update on all our Zenchargers, a series of innovative features designed to improve the functionality and user experience of our charging stations and back office systems.
1) Current limitation
Users can now adjust the charging current in the web interface using a slider. This gives the user control over his capacity rate and allows him to set it himself. The slider ranges from a minimum setting of 6A to the installation current limit that was determined during commissioning. This slider can be found on the ‘Smart Charging’ tab of the web interface.
2) Solar Charging
The solar charging function offers three different modes: Fast Solar, Smart Solar and Pure Solar, each for different charging needs:
– Fast Solar: All generated power is used, together with power from the grid to offer the maximum charging speed.
– Smart Solar: The generated power is used together with power from the grid, in a smart mix
– Pure Solar: Charging starts in this mode when there is at least 6A backflow to the grid. The aim is to use only solar power for charging vehicles.
Choosing the right charging strategy is essential to ensure that vehicles are charged properly and to avoid the risk of undercharging under unfavorable conditions.
