What is the Master Key?
 
This page explains the what the masterkey feature is.
To control local user access to an Alfen charging station, install an RFID card as the ‘Master key’. With this Master Key, you can grant access to other RFID cards for using your charging station. The Master Key cannot be used for charging. It is only used for access control of the charging station.
 
Your charging station must be configured correctly in order to accept Master Keys. For stand-alone charging stations this functionality is automatically ON. If the charging station is delivered with a pre-programmed Back Office management system, this functionality will be OFF.


How to install a Master Key

  1. Select an RFID card, like the included Alfen charge card.
     
  2. Hold the RFID card in front of the card reader for 10 seconds.
     
  3. After 10 seconds, the RFID card will be registered as the Master Key. The following icon appears on the screen:


 

  • The charging station does not recognize the RFID card and will give a warning first. Ignore the warning.

  • The charging station will only recognize one RFID card as the Master Key.

 

Once the Master Key is registered, it can be used to add or remove charge cards from the local database.
