13. SETTING UP THE WIRELESS CONNECTION
NOTE: Connecting the SPC3 charger
to the internet requires the Schulink G1
Gateway, included when purchased as a
kit, or sold separately. The Gateway
allows you manage up to 12 different
chargers.
The G1 Gateway and the SPC3 charger
communicate with each other by radio
waves, the same way a cordless phone
works. Interference can affect the
allowable distance between the gateway
and charger. To make setup easier when
installing the Gateway/Charger/App, it is
best to have the charger in the same room
as the Gateway.
1. Install the app and complete the
registration and activation.
2. Install the gateway
Place the G1 Gateway in a suitable
location. Helpful tips:
• The G1 Gateway covers an area of
about 40 ft. in radius in a typical wood-
construction home. Place the G1
Gateway in a location so that this 40
ft. circle covers the area in which the
SPC3 charger will be used.
• If you are using multiple SPC3
chargers and need to cover a larger
area, consider using two or more
G1 Gateways to provide adequate
coverage.
• For best wireless coverage, place
the G1 Gateway at least 3 ft. above
ground level.
• Large concentrations of metal, such
as home appliances, water heaters,
replace hoods, or automobiles create
a “radio shadow”, which can disrupt
wireless connectivity. Avoid placing
the G1 Gateway near such obstacles,
or having such objects between the
gateway and the charger.
• If a wireless connection cannot be
established between the G1 Gateway
and a SPC3 charger, try moving the
gateway or the charger a few feet
horizontally or vertically. This may
shift the “radio shadows” and enable
connectivity.
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into
an unused output port on your router.
If you are unfamiliar with your router,
please refer to its manual. Next,
plug the provided AC adaptor into its
connection on the Gateway and into
a live AC outlet. Raise the antenna
on the gateway to a 90° position.
The Gateway’s LED should turn red
and then green after a few minutes,
indicating it is working and connected
to the Cloud. If the LED remains red,
try another open port on the router.
If it does not eventually turn green,
your router maybe incompatible with
the Gateway. When set up, the green
LED on the Gateway may occasionally
ash; this is normal and indicates it is
communicating with the Cloud.
3. Plug the charger into a live grounded
120V AC outlet. The blue CONNECTED
LED on the charger will turn solid. If
the blue LED ashes for more than 30
seconds, refer to Troubleshooting. Your
mobile device should show a screen
similar to the image (A).
A B
4. Tapping the gray bar above the
motorcycle icon will bring you to
screen (B). The blue icon
indicates
radio communication between the
gateway and the charger. If the radio
connection is not present, the icon
turns gray. The green AC plug icon
indicates the charger is plugged into
an AC power outlet. When no AC
power is detected, the icon turns gray.
5. Disconnect the charger from the AC
power and move it to the area where
it will be connected to the battery.
Before connecting the charger to
the battery, make sure there is no
interference in the radio connection
between the gateway and the charger.
6. Connect your charger, following the
precautions listed in Sections 6 and
7. Plug the charger in a live grounded
120V AC outlet.
