What do you need help with?
If you purchased your product through a reseller/distributor, you should first contact the company from which you purchased the product.
- Charging electric cars puts an increased load on your electrical installation. You need to ensure that your installation can handle the altered load. The challenge is not just an increased load, but an increased load over a prolonged period. The charging station has an active integrated safety system which ensures, among other things, that the current is only switched on when all connectors have been connected.
- The installation has RCD protection and DC protection for your personal safety.
- A charging station should always be installed by an authorised installer.
Since charging electric cars puts a high load on the premises, load balancing is carried out. This ensures that everyone is able to charge simultaneously while also ensuring that the main fuse does not trip if you charge your car at the same time as running appliances such as an oven, a vacuum cleaner or sauna.

All our products are designed and made in Sweden.
Mode 3 charging requires specific equipment both on the vehicle and on the charging station. This safety level means that the cable between the charging station and vehicle is not powered up until the vehicle and charging station have communicated with each other. Only then is the power switched on in the charging station. The EU has decided that Mode 3 should be standard from 2017.
These are two different types of sockets on cars.
Type 2 is the EU standard, which is required, for example, to obtain a grant from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket).
Type 1 is the standard used in Asia, which is found on Asian brands of car.
Halo is rated at IP 66.
Aura is rated at IP 55.
It then works as a normal charging station, so it will charge the car as normal without any control.
The generation of heat in the charging station is normal. We recommend that the charging station is not installed in direct sunlight to reduce the heat within.
Several of you can share a charging station, but there is a limitation of one user profile per charging station.
There is no limit to how long you can have your car on charge. Our charging stations will send power to the car as long as it requests charging. If the car is fully charged, charging stops automatically.

Check that you are connected to the charging station’s (Halo’s or Aura’s) WiFi network.
Then check that you have entered the address in an address field and not in a search field.
Note that when you open a web browser, a search field often pops up on the first page. To access 192.168.250.1, you need to enter the number in an address field when you are connected to the charging station’s WiFi.
The signal strength should be at least -90 dBm (minus scale) or lower. If you can’t find the network in the list, the signal strength is probably weak.
If you can find the network but get ERROR:Connection Timeout, the signal strength is too weak.
(There are mobile phone apps that you can use to measure the signal strength up to the Wallbox).
Check that the router is transmitting its SSID on the 2.4 GHz frequency. Some routers transmit the SSID on 5.0 GHz. Halo cannot connect to the 5.0 GHz SSID.
Check that port 80 is open.
Check the firewall settings.
The charging station (Halo or Aura) network is only visible for 15 minutes after booting up and then becomes invisible. To make the network visible again, you need to restart the charging station via the switch in the fuse cabinet.
