Smart Splitter - Factory Reset Instructions

Troubleshooting steps to resolve issues with the auto-switching functionality between Primary and Secondary outlets.

When Your Smart Splitter Stops Working Properly If your Smart Splitter has been working fine but suddenly isn&apos;t switching between devices as expected, don&apos;t worry - this is often easily resolved. This guide will walk you through systematic troubleshooting steps to get your Smart Splitter working properly again.Common Switching&#xA0;Issues &#xA0; &#xA0;- Primary device finishes but Secondary doesn&apos;t start &#xA0; &#xA0;- Both outlets trying to run simultaneously (causing breaker trips) &#xA0; &#xA0;- Smart Splitter not recognizing when Primary device stops &#xA0; &#xA0;- Delayed or inconsistent switching behavior &#xA0; &#xA0;- LED indicators showing unexpected colors/patterns &#xA0; &#xA0;- Unexpected tripping when devices should be within limits &#xA0; &#xA0;- App showing different amperage than your EV/charger displaysStep-by-Step Troubleshooting Step 1:&#xA0;Verify Your Charging Settings Haven&apos;t Changed Why This Matters: Even if nothing has physically changed, software updates to your EV or charger can alter amperage settings or charging schedules without your knowledge.What to Check: Total load calculation: Primary + Secondary must not exceed switching limits &#xA0; &#xA0;- 30A circuits: Each device must pull a maximum of 24A for proper switching &#xA0; &#xA0;- 50A circuits: Combined load must be 40A or less for simultaneous charging. If the combined load exceeds the switching limit (44A), the Smart Splitter will shut off the SecondaryCommon Culprit: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Vehicle software updates may reset charging to default (often 32A) &#xA0; &#xA0;- Smart charger apps may have updated settings &#xA0; &#xA0;- Time-of-use schedules may have changed amperageStep 2:&#xA0;Check Sensor Calibration Why Calibration Matters: Inaccurate sensor readings can cause the Smart Splitter to trip unexpectedly or manage power incorrectly.Signs You Need Calibration: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Smart Splitter trips when total load should be within limits &#xA0; &#xA0;- App shows different amperage than your vehicle or EVSE displays &#xA0; &#xA0;- Switching occurs at wrong thresholds &#xA0; &#xA0;- Secondary cuts off prematurelyQuick Calibration Check: 1. Start charging your Primary device 2. Compare the amperage shown in the NeoCharge app with: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Your vehicle&apos;s charging display &#xA0; &#xA0;- Your EVSE&apos;s display 3. If readings differ by more than 1-2 amps, calibration is needed<a href="https://help.getneocharge.com/en-US/calibrate-smart-splitter-2492463">See Full Calibration Guide</a> for detailed calibration instructionsStep 3:&#xA0;Perform a Factory Reset Factory Reset Procedure: 1. Locate your Smart Splitter&apos;s circuit breaker 2. Power cycle EXACTLY 5 times: &#xA0; &#xA0; - Turn breaker OFF (wait 4 seconds) &#xA0; &#xA0; - Turn breaker ON (wait 4 seconds) &#xA0; &#xA0; - Repeat 4 more times (5 total cycles) 3. Watch for confirmation: &#xA0; &#xA0; - LEDs flash RED briefly &#xA0; &#xA0; - Return to WHITE &#xA0; &#xA0; - You should hear relay clicksNote: Factory reset clears calibration. You&apos;ll need to recalibrate after reset if your sensors were previously calibrated.Step 4:&#xA0;Update Firmware via WiFi Why Firmware Matters: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Fixes known bugs &#xA0; &#xA0;- Improves switching algorithms &#xA0; &#xA0;- Enhances compatibility with newer EVs/chargers &#xA0; &#xA0;- Updates sensor accuracy algorithmsHow to Check/Update: 1. Open the NeoCharge app 2. Confirm your Smart Splitter shows as &quot;Connected&quot; 3. If not connected: &#xA0; &#xA0; - Perform factory reset (Step 3) &#xA0; &#xA0; - Look for BLUE flashing LED (pairing mode) &#xA0; &#xA0; - Follow in-app connection instructions 4. Once connected, firmware updates automatically when: &#xA0; &#xA0; - No power is being drawn from either outlet &#xA0; &#xA0; - Device has been idle for a few minutesNote: Keep the Smart Splitter connected to WiFi for automatic future updatesStep 5:&#xA0;Test Basic Functionality Simple Switching Test: 1. Plug a simple appliance (lamp, fan) into Primary 2. Plug EV charger into Secondary 3. Turn on appliance - Secondary should pause 4. Turn off appliance - Secondary should resume 5. If this works, issue may be device-specificCheck LED Indicators: &#xA0; &#xA0;- WHITE: Normal idle state &#xA0; &#xA0;- GREEN: Active power draw &#xA0; &#xA0;- YELLOW: Secondary paused by Primary &#xA0; &#xA0;- ORANGE: Overcurrent detected &#xA0; &#xA0;- RED: Internal fault or calibration neededStep 6:&#xA0;Advanced Checks Verify Physical Connections: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Ensure Primary (PRI) and Secondary (SEC) aren&apos;t reversed &#xA0; &#xA0;- Check for loose connections at outlet &#xA0; &#xA0;- Confirm mounting bracket isn&apos;t causing shorts &#xA0; &#xA0;- Look for any signs of overheating or damageCheck for Conflicting Schedules: &#xA0; &#xA0;- EV charging schedules &#xA0; &#xA0;- Smart charger schedules &#xA0; &#xA0;- Time-of-use settings &#xA0; &#xA0;- NeoCharge app schedulesEnvironmental Factors: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Recent power outages &#xA0; &#xA0;- Electrical work in home &#xA0; &#xA0;- New appliances on same circuit &#xA0; &#xA0;- Weather-related power fluctuations &#xA0; &#xA0;- Temperature extremes (can affect sensor accuracy)Calibration-Specific TroubleshootingProblem: Smart Splitter trips when combined load is actually under 44A &#xA0; &#xA0;- Cause: Sensors reading higher than actual current &#xA0; &#xA0;- Solution: Calibrate sensors to match actual drawProblem: Secondary doesn&apos;t pause when Primary starts &#xA0; &#xA0;- Cause: Primary current reading too low &#xA0; &#xA0;- Solution: Calibrate Primary sensorProblem: Inconsistent switching thresholds &#xA0; &#xA0;- Cause: Sensor drift over time &#xA0; &#xA0;- Solution: Recalibrate both sensorsCalibration Best Practices: &#xA0; - Calibrate at your typical charging rate &#xA0; &#xA0;- Wait for charging to stabilize (at least 1 minute) &#xA0; &#xA0;- Use vehicle display as reference (most accurate) &#xA0; &#xA0;- Recalibrate after: &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; a.

Smart Splitter - LED Status Guide

Learn why circuit breakers trip when charging amperage exceeds 24A on 30A circuits and how to adjust your settings to prevent this.

Understanding Why Circuit Breakers Trip Circuit breakers are critical safety devices that protect your home&apos;s electrical system. When they trip, they&apos;re doing their job - preventing potential fire hazards and electrical damage.How Breakers Work Thermal Protection:&#xA0;Breakers contain a thin metal alloy strip that heats up as current flows through it Temperature Threshold: When the metal reaches a certain temperature, it bends and breaks the circuit Time Factor: Breakers don&apos;t trip based on instantaneous current readings - they trip from sustained heat buildup Gradual Degradation: Consistent overcurrent situations cause the breaker to degrade over time, leading to more frequent tripsThe 80% Rule (NEC Code Requirement) The National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates that continuous loads should not exceed 80% of the circuit breaker rating. This is why:Maximum Safe Charging Rates: &#xA0; &#xA0;- 20A Breaker: Maximum 16A continuous charging &#xA0; &#xA0;- 30A Breaker: Maximum 24A continuous charging &#xA0; &#xA0;- 40A Breaker: Maximum 32A continuous charging &#xA0; &#xA0;- 50A Breaker: Maximum 40A continuous chargingImportant: The Smart Splitter has an internal software breaker designed to protect your system by shutting off the Secondary outlet during extended overcurrent situations.Critical First Step: Verify Smart Splitter Settings Your Smart Splitter MUST be configured to match your circuit breaker. The Smart Splitter&apos;s switching limit determines when it cuts off the Secondary outlet. If this is set incorrectly, your breaker may trip even when you&apos;re within safe limits.How to Check and Adjust Your Smart Splitter Settings: 1. Open the NeoCharge app 2. Select your Smart Splitter 3. Go to Settings &#x2192; Circuit Configuration 4. Verify the switching limit matches your breaker:<table style="width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 33.3333%;">Circuit Breaker</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">Switching Limit</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">Max Load (Each outlet)</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 33.3333%;">50 Amps</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">44 Amps</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">40A on PRI / 32A Recommended for Sec (max 40A)</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 33.3333%;">40 Amps</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">34 Amps</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">32A</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 33.3333%;">30 Amps</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">10 Amps**</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">24A</td></tr><tr><td style="width: 33.3333%;">20 Amps</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">10 Amps**</td><td style="width: 33.3333%;">16A</td></tr></tbody></table>*Switching limit is when Secondary outlet shuts off **30A and 20A circuits cannot support simultaneous chargingCommon Misconfiguration Issue: Problem:&#xA0;Your 50A circuit has the Smart Splitter set to 40A switching limit (thinking this is &quot;safer&quot;) Result: Secondary shuts off unnecessarily at 40A combined load Solution: Set switching limit to 44A for 50A circuits Problem:&#xA0;Your 40A circuit has the Smart Splitter set to 44A (50A setting) Result: Breaker trips because Smart Splitter allows too much current Solution: Set switching limit to 34A for 40A circuitsWhy Your Breaker is Tripping Scenario 1: Incorrect Smart Splitter Configuration If your Smart Splitter switching limit is too high for your breaker: &#xA0; &#xA0;- The Smart Splitter allows more current than your breaker can handle &#xA0; &#xA0;- Your breaker trips to protect the circuit &#xA0; &#xA0;- Fix: Adjust Smart Splitter settings to match your breaker (see table &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0;above)Scenario 2: Charging Above Safe Limits If you&apos;re charging above the 80% rule limits: 32A charging on a 30A breaker: This exceeds the 24A safe limit by 33% &#xA0; &#xA0;- Initial tolerance: The breaker may not trip immediately due to thermal mass &#xA0; &#xA0;- Progressive degradation: Over weeks or months, the breaker&apos;s metal alloy weakens from repeated overheating &#xA0; &#xA0;- Eventual failure: The breaker begins tripping more frequently as it degradesReal-World Example:&#xA0; A 32A charger on a 30A circuit might work fine for months. However, the consistent 8A overcurrent gradually damages the breaker&apos;s thermal element, eventually causing frequent trips. This is the breaker protecting your home from potential fire hazards.Solutions (In Order of Recommendation) Solution 1:&#xA0;Verify and Adjust Smart Splitter Settings (Immediate) 1. Check your circuit breaker amperage at the electrical panel 2. Open NeoCharge app &#x2192; Settings &#x2192; Circuit Configuration 3. Set the correct switching limit based on the table above 4. Save settings and test chargingSolution 2: Reduce Charging Amperage (Immediate Fix) For 20A Circuits: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Set charging to 16A or les For 30A Circuits: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Set charging to 24A or less &#xA0; &#xA0;- Check your vehicle&apos;s app or dashboard settings &#xA0; &#xA0;- Some vehicles allow in-car amperage adjustment (Tesla, BMW, etc. For 40A Circuits: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Set charging to 32A or less For 50A Circuits: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Set charging to 40A or lessSolution 3: Purchase an Adjustable EV Charger If your current charger is locked at 32A (common with Ford, VW, and some other manufacturer-provided chargers):Recommended Options: &#xA0; &#xA0;- LENZ Level 2 Charger:&#xA0;Manual amperage adjustment via dip switches &#xA0; &#xA0; &#xA0; - Wallbox Pulsar Plus: Smart charger with app-based amperage control &#xA0; &#xA0;- You&apos;ll need a NEMA adapter (~$35) to match your outlet configuration &#xA0; &#xA0;- These remain compatible with your Smart SplitterSolution 4: Electrical Panel Upgrade (Long-term Solution) If you have available panel capacity: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Install a 50A dedicated circuit &#xA0; &#xA0;- Allows full 32A+ charging without issues &#xA0; &#xA0;- Future-proof for dual EV charging with Smart Splitter &#xA0; &#xA0;- More expensive due to installation costs &#xA0; &#xA0;- Requires licensed electricianTroubleshooting Steps Step 1.&#xA0;Verify Smart Splitter Configuration &#xA0; &#xA0;- Most important first step &#xA0; &#xA0;- Confirm switching limit matches breaker rating &#xA0; &#xA0;- Adjust if needed via NeoCharge appStep 2.

What is a GFCI Breaker?A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device designed to protect people from electrical shock. It monitors the electrical current flowing through a circuit and quickly shuts off power (trips) when it detects an

<div data-test-render-count="1" id="isPasted"><div data-is-streaming="false">What is a GFCI Breaker? A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device designed to protect people from electrical shock. It monitors the electrical current flowing through a circuit and quickly shuts off power (trips) when it detects an imbalance between the hot and neutral wires - which could indicate electricity is flowing through an unintended path, such as through water or a person.GFCI breakers are commonly required by code in areas where water and electricity may come into contact (bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoors). They typically trip when detecting a ground fault current as small as 5-6 milliamps (Class A) or 20 milliamps (Class B, designed for EV charging).Why GFCI Breakers Trip with Smart Splitters Based on our product documentation, GFCI breakers can trip when used with Smart Splitters due to cumulative leakage current.&#xA0; Here&apos;s what happens: 1. Multiple Device Leakage: Every electrical device has some small amount of normal leakage current 2. Cumulative Effect: When you have three devices connected (Smart Splitter + 2 EVSEs), the combined leakage current from all three can exceed the GFCI&apos;s threshold 3. Sensitivity: Even Class B GFCI breakers (designed for EV charging with a 20mA limit) can be triggered by the cumulative leakageImportant Note:&#xA0;Certain EV chargers, particularly the JuiceBox (no longer sold in North America), are known to be especially sensitive and may throw GFCI faults when connected through a Smart Splitter.&#xA0;Troubleshooting Steps Step 1. Verify GFCI Type &#xA0; &#xA0;- Check if you have a Class A (5-6mA) or Class B (20mA) GFCI breaker &#xA0; &#xA0;- Class B is recommended for EV charging applicationsStep 2. Test Individual Components &#xA0; &#xA0;- Disconnect the Smart Splitter and test each EVSE directly on the outlet &#xA0; &#xA0;- If either EVSE trips the GFCI alone, that device may have excessive leakage &#xA0; &#xA0;- Test the Smart Splitter with only one device connectedStep 3. Check for Known Sensitive Chargers &#xA0; &#xA0;- JuiceBox chargers are particularly prone to GFCI issues with splitters &#xA0; &#xA0;- Consider using a different EVSE model if you have a JuiceBox. JuiceBox no longer supports it&apos;s devices in North AmericaSolutions and Recommendations Option 1: Replace GFCI with Standard Breaker - Important: Only if local code permits and the circuit doesn&apos;t require GFCI protection &#xA0; &#xA0;- Consult with a licensed electrician to ensure code compliance &#xA0; &#xA0;- This is often the most effective solution for dedicated EV charging circuits Option 2: Upgrade to Class B GFCI &#xA0; &#xA0;- If you have a Class A GFCI, upgrade to a Class B (20mA) breaker &#xA0; &#xA0;- Designed specifically for EV charging applications &#xA0; &#xA0;- May still experience issues due to cumulative leakage Option 3: Install Dedicated Circuit &#xA0; &#xA0;- Consider installing a non-GFCI circuit specifically for EV charging &#xA0; &#xA0;- Ensures reliable charging without GFCI compatibility issues &#xA0; &#xA0;- Must comply with local electrical codes Option 4: Use Different Equipment &#xA0; &#xA0;- Some EVSE models have lower leakage current &#xA0; &#xA0;- Avoid known problematic combinations (e.g., JuiceBox with Smart Splitter)Key Points to Remember &#xA0; &#xA0;- GFCI outlets are NOT designed to be split - this is a fundamental limitation &#xA0; &#xA0;- The Smart Splitter itself is safe and UL-certified, but the combination of devices can trigger sensitive GFCI protection &#xA0; &#xA0;- This is not a defect in the Smart Splitter but rather an incompatibility between GFCI protection and multiple connected devicesWhen to Escalate Contact NeoCharge support if: &#xA0; &#xA0;- The issue persists after trying these solutions &#xA0; &#xA0;- You need specific EVSE recommendations &#xA0; &#xA0;- You experience other electrical issues beyond GFCI tripping</div></div> <fieldset> </fieldset>

When plugged in with cables on both sides, the total width needed can exceed 12 inches. Here&apos;s how to address common space issues.Common Space Constraint Scenarios 1. Outlet Too Close to Wall/Corner &#xA0; &#xA0;- Smart Splitter + cables need approximately 6&#x2013;8 inches of clearance on each side. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Tight corners prevent proper cable management. &#xA0; &#xA0;- May violate electrical code requirements. 2. Outlet Behind Appliances &#xA0; &#xA0;- Dryer or other appliances pushed against the wall. &#xA0; &#xA0;- No room for Smart Splitter between appliance and outlet. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Creates strain on plugs and potential safety hazards. 3. Low Ceiling/Overhead Obstruction &#xA0; &#xA0;- Garage installations with low clearance. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Overhead storage or garage door tracks interfering. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Vertical space needed for cable bend radius.Electrical Code Requirements NEC (National Electrical Code) Guidelines: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Working Space: The NEC requires adequate working space around electrical equipment. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Section 110.26: Mandates minimum 30 inches of width for working space in front of electrical panels and equipment. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Accessibility: Outlets must remain accessible and not be blocked by permanent structures.Practical Requirements: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Outlets should have sufficient clearance for safe plug insertion/removal. &#xA0; &#xA0;- No permanent obstructions should block access to the outlet. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Adequate space for natural cable bend radius (typically 4&#x2013;6x cable diameter).Note: If your outlet is already too close to a wall to safely use, it may be in violation of code and should be addressed regardless of Smart Splitter installation.Recommended Solutions Solution 1: Relocate the Outlet (Best Option) Why This Works Best: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Permanently solves the space issue. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Ensures code compliance. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Improves overall safety and accessibility. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Typical cost: $150&#x2013;$400 depending on complexity.Ideal Relocation Specs: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Move outlet 2&#x2013;3 feet from corners. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Mount at accessible height (18&#x2013;48 inches typical). &#xA0; &#xA0;- Ensure 12+ inches clearance on both sides. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Consider future accessibility needs.Solution 2: Use Extension Cords Temporary Solution: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Use our 25-foot extension cords to reach a better location. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Allows Smart Splitter to be positioned away from tight spaces. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Must use appropriately rated cords (we sell compatible options).Important: Extension cords should be: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Properly rated for the amperage. &#xA0; &#xA0;- UL certified. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Not run through walls or under carpets. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Considered a temporary solution.Solution 3: Adjust Mounting Height For Vertical Constraints: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Have electrician move outlet higher or lower. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Typical garage outlets can be mounted at 48 inches. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Provides better clearance from floors and obstructions.Installation Planning Tips Before Installation, Measure: &#xA0; &#xA0; - Horizontal clearance: Need 12+ inches total width. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Vertical clearance: Account for cable droop and bend. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Depth clearance: Smart Splitter extends 2.8&quot; from wall + plug depth. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Access path: Ensure you can safely reach the outlet.Red Flags to Address: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Outlet behind immovable objects. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Less than 6 inches from corner. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Blocked by permanent structures. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Requires moving appliances to access.When to Call an Electrician Definitely Call If: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Outlet is less than 6 inches from a wall/corner. &#xA0; &#xA0;- You need to relocate the outlet. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Current installation appears unsafe. &#xA0; &#xA0;- You&apos;re unsure about code compliance.DIY Considerations: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Never attempt electrical work without proper knowledge. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Moving outlets requires a permit in most jurisdictions. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Improper installation voids warranties and insurance.Cost-Benefit Analysis Relocating Outlet: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Cost: $150&#x2013;$400. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Benefits: Permanent solution, code compliance, improved safety. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Time: 1&#x2013;2 hours professional installation.Alternative Solutions: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Extension Cord: $50&#x2013;$100 (temporary fix). &#xA0; &#xA0;- Different Location: $0 (if another suitable outlet exists).Safety First Never Force Installation If: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Cables are severely bent or stressed. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Outlet box is pulling from wall. &#xA0; &#xA0;- You can&apos;t maintain proper plug connection. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Access for emergency disconnect is blocked.Code Compliance Resources &#xA0; &#xA0;- Consult local electrical codes (may exceed NEC). &#xA0; &#xA0;- Most jurisdictions adopt NEC with modifications. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Your electrician should know local requirements. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Building department can clarify specific codes.Bottom Line &#xA0; &#xA0;- If your Smart Splitter doesn&apos;t fit due to space constraints, the safest and most code-compliant solution is relocating the outlet. This one-time investment ensures: &#xA0; &#xA0;- Safe, accessible installation. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Code compliance. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Optimal Smart Splitter performance. &#xA0; &#xA0;- Peace of mind.Remember: The cost of properly relocating an outlet is minimal compared to potential safety hazards or the inconvenience of an unusable installation. When in doubt, consult with a licensed electrician who can assess your specific situation and ensure a safe, code-compliant installation.</div></div><fieldset> </fieldset>
