How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Configuration changes should be performed by trained personnel to avoid misconfiguration of safety parameters.

  • Step 1 – Power cycle: Turn off the charger for 5 minutes and power back on to see if the error clears.
  • Step 2 – Restore factory defaults: Using the Alfen installer tool, perform a factory reset of configuration (note: you will need to re‑enter installation parameters afterward).
  • Step 3 – Reapply configuration: Manually reconfigure supply type, maximum current, authorization mode, and network settings according to the installation documentation.
  • Step 4 – Firmware reflash: If supported, reload the latest official firmware image using the Alfen update procedure.
  • Step 5 – Avoid power interruptions: During configuration or firmware updates, ensure the charger is not switched off to prevent further corruption.
  • When to call a technician: If E013 persists after reset and firmware update, the main PCB’s memory may be defective and should be replaced.
