The ring lights are actually made of tri-color LEDs which have Red, Green and Blue elements which
can each be controlled individually at intensities from 0% to 100% in 10% intervals. Depending on
ambient lighting conditions, the WattStation owner or installer may desire to increase or decrease the
intensity settings from the factory defaults.
The primary colors can also be mixed to make other colors. For example, an equal percentage of red,
green and blue are used to make the default white ring. Amber can be made from a mix of 50% red
and 20% green. Violet can be made with a mixture of red and blue. Experimentation on-site in the
actual ambient lighting conditions is the key.
This powerful feature gives a municipality or fleet owner the ability to match the WattStation’s color
scheme to the rest of their charging station fleet if so desired.
Other settings on this page:
•
LED Ring Dark Mode
This option turns the ring light off except the ring illuminates for 1 second when it is changing
state.
•
Rated Current for Installation (Amps)
The WattStation Pedestal is rated for 30 Amps but there may be some installations in which
WattStation owners want to restrict charging to lower currents. This option sets the
maximum current that the vehicle should draw by setting the maximum duty cycle
corresponding to the current selected in this setting according to the SAE J1772 standard.
•
Start Charging Delay after Power-up
If a car is connected and authorized and power is lost, when power is restored it will start
charging again automatically. This setting inserts a random delay from 0 to the value
selected in the start-up time after power is restored. A setting of 0 means no delay.
