Here's a step-by-step guide to adding a new installation in the Zaptec Portal:
Add installation details
Only Zaptec technicians and service partners can add installations in the Portal. If your company is a new partner, please contact your sales representative or reach out to Zaptec Support.
- Log in with your user profile at https://portal.zaptec.com.
-
Go to the "Installations" tab at the top of the page and select "Add installation"
-
Fill in the form shown below and click on the "Add" button when your done
Name: Give the installation a name
Address: The address of the installation’s physical location
Category: Community Housing, Business, Private or Public
Country: The country of the installation physical location
Network type: Choose the appropriate power grid for the location of the charging system
Charging system circuit breaker (A): The max current that the installation can use for charging
Add Circuits
- On the Installation page, click on the "Circuits" tab
- Select "Add circuit"
- Fill in the circuit name and circuit breaker value (A). You can reduce the value (A) to avoid fully loading the upstream overcurrent protection breaker
- Press "Save"
Optional steps
Edit circuit: click on the pencil at top of the circuit illustration
Delete circuit: click on the trashcan at top of the circuit illustration.
Please note that deactivating a circuit without removing active charging stations first will "lock" the serial numbers until Zaptec Support manually removes them.
Add charge point
- On the circuit page, click on the + symbol under the correct circuit
- Enter the serial number and name of the charging station. We recommend using parking spot numbers, apartment numbers, or similar identifiable naming practices.
- Press "Add"
Once the charger has been added, you can customize its settings and configure it to your preferences. You can also view the charging history and monitor the status of the charger from the Zaptec Portal.
☝️ If a charge point has been deactivated, you can choose to show or hide the charge point by selecting the "Show deactivated charge point" box located in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Give permission
Once you are done creating the installation you need to give the owner access to the charging system.
There are 3 different types of permissions available: Users, Owners, and Service.
The installation owner should be provided with the "Owner access", but can also have User permission for access to charging.
- Click on the "Permissions" tab and select "Give permission"
- Type in the owners e-mail address and click on the Search button to display the results. The owner must have a Zaptec account to be given permission.
- Ensure that the checkbox is toggled on against the correct user to provide the relevant permissions.
- Click on the ‘Next’ Button to continue and press "Save" to complete
You have now successfully given Owner permission to the facility owner 👍
