If you have plugged your Andersen A2 into your vehicle but you aren’t getting a charging response then first check your unit to see if any lights are showing. If no lights are showing then that means the unit is not receiving power and you should check the following:

1. Go to your consumer unit and check if the fuse that your Andersen is connected to has tripped. If it has, flick it back to the ON position. If it trips again right after flicking it back on or you are finding that it trips again regularly after flicking it back on then please contact Andersen.
2. If there are still no lights on the unit even after checking that the fuse is on then please contact Andersen.
3. If lights are showing on your unit but it’s still not charging then check to see if the unit is locked. You can do this by either checking the app that your charger is connected to or by looking at the lights on the unit. If the charger is locked, the green and red lights will stay a solid colour like below.

Finally, if none of the above are behind the issue, check the charger status in the app. If the status shows “NO CP” please contact Andersen.

There are a few reasons why this might be occurring with your Andersen A2. Firstly, check to see if your vehicle supports the power output your A2 is charging at (this is either 7.4kW or 22kW if you have opted for a 3-phase installation).

Most modern EVs will accept 7.4kW at the very least but some older electric cars, such as the first Nissan Leaf charge at a lower rate such as 6.6kW or even 3.6kW.

If your vehicle is limited to 6.6kW, for example, then this will be the max rate of charge even though the Andersen is capable of a higher output rate. Effectively, the car dictates the charging rate.

If your car does support the max output your charger should be providing, but is still charging slowly, please contact Andersen.

If your WiFi is working for all of your other devices but not your Andersen A2, there could be a number of reasons for this.

Firstly, check the WiFi strength in the area where your charger is. This is something that we ask you to check before installation but it’s a good idea to check the WiFi strength again if you’re experiencing issues, especially if you have moved your router after installation.

If you are finding the WiFi signal is weak or inconsistent in the area of your charger then the problem could be caused by interruptions to your WiFi signal. Most WiFi signals transmit using a 2.5ghz signal which is the same signal frequency as a lot of other household appliances such as wireless home telephones and microwaves. If you have any devices like this near your Andersen then we advise moving them if you can as they can create disruptions to the connection between the charger and your WiFi router.

If you have done the above but you are still finding your Andersen is struggling to maintain a stable signal then you might need to move your router closer to where the charger is located. If this is not an option then you can also buy a WiFi range extender which could provide your Andersen A2 with the signal strength needed to operate consistently.
