My charging station (EVCS) is running the latest firmware version (v2.08/5.2).  
When I switch from charging a Tesla (with its 7 m cable) to charging a Renault R5  
(with a 5 m cable), the charging station displays error code N-303 with the 7 m cable. However,  
if I use the R5’s 5 m cable to charge the Tesla, the charging station recognises it.  
Both cables used to work. Sometimes simply unplugging and reconnecting  
the Tesla’s cable gets it working, but not consistently. It would be great  
if the CP calibration menu were available again in the web interface. Are other users  
experiencing this same issue, where the car is not recognised after switching between  
two electric vehicles?

Hello @harrix. You can bring the CP calibration button back if you disable CP auto-calibration. To do that, write `0` to EVCS Modbus TCP register `5133`. Can you do that? If not, I can do it remotely, but for that you also need to have a GX device in your installation and invite me by email.

Sure. Please send me a PM with your installation ID.

Hello Nicolas. Regarding the topic of reactivating the CP menu, do you just need the installation ID? The answer to the question of whether I have a Cerbo GX is yes. However, I haven’t found where I can send you a private message. Kind regards, Patrice

At a customer with 2 EVCS chargers we added a third.  
The first two where installed during firmware 2.0 and at the time of installation were CP calibrated with a 10meter Type 2 charging cable.

The third EVCS was added with firmware 2.9 and CP calibration was not present any longer and thus our installer encountered N-303 issue and was working the problem for a few hours as he though something was wrong with the charge cable or EVCS internals.

I would like to ask Victron to change the CP calibration back OR fix the auto calibration function.

If somebody is interested in the Node Red code re-enabling the CP calibration option, let me know.  
The code injects 0 to the correct register to re-enable the calibration option.
