Configuration Requirements

  • Road Sim card (optional), EVSE ID, configuration manual for the installer and registration manual for the owner of the charging station

  • Rolec EV Connect app

  • Configuration device: A smart phone with a camera, QR code reader software, Bluetooth and internet connectivity

Follow the steps:

Step 1: Make sure the chargepoint installation is completed safely according to the Rolec Zura Installation manual.

Step 2: Download the Rolec EV Connect app from the Apple or Google app store. You can do this by scanning the QR code on the Configuration Tag (see picture below), or by entering “https://rolecevconnect.com” into a web browser.

Note: Make sure to keep the configuration tag, the small QR code label on the back of the tag will be needed later in the process. If the Configuration Tag is missing, there is a copy of the small QR code attached to the communications module, inside the charge point enclosure.

Step 3: Apply electrical power to the charge point and allow it to start up. The LED indicator on the charge point will flash BLUE when the chargepoint is ready.

Step 4: Open the Rolec EV Connect application on your phone and tap on the Owner icon. The camera will open, and you will be requested to scan the charge point ID QR code (originally on the Configuration Tag).

Step 5: After scanning the QR code you will be able to connect to the charge point using Bluetooth.

Step 6: Tap the CONNECT button. After a few seconds the connection process will be complete, and the Configuration screen will be displayed.

Step 7: Enter the appropriate details into each of the fields of the form and fill in the following endpoint URL:

  • When using a white Road SIM card or another connection method: ws://ocpp.road.io/<provider-slug>

  • When using a purple Road SIM card: ws://ocpp-internal.road.io/<provider-slug>

Note: When using a purple Road SIM card the APN name should be changed to: road.io. When using the white Road SIM card or another SIM card the APN name should be m2m.services.

Note: Do NOT change the Charge Point ID. Changing the ID will remove connectivity to the charge point.

Step 8: When you reach the end of the form, tap the SET button to save the entries to the system.

Step 9: On the next screen, tap the CLOSE button to end the EV Connect configuration.

The charging station is now connected to the Road platform!
