Primary vs Secondary Outlets ExplainedUpdated a month ago

The Smart Splitter features two outlets labeled "PRI" (Primary) and "SEC" (Secondary), each serving a specific role in the power-sharing system. Understanding these roles is crucial for optimal setup and operation of your Smart Splitter.

Primary Outlet ("PRI") 

The Primary outlet, marked "PRI" on your Smart Splitter, always takes priority over the Secondary outlet. This outlet maintains a small idle current to keep devices like dryers or smart chargers connected to their display or WiFi even when not actively running. When a device on the Primary outlet begins drawing power, it automatically receives priority access to the circuit's full capacity.

Secondary Outlet ("SEC") 

The Secondary outlet, marked "SEC", automatically yields to the Primary outlet when needed. If the combined power draw would exceed the circuit's capacity, the Secondary outlet temporarily pauses until the Primary device completes its session.

Recommended Device Placement: 

For Appliance + EV Setup:

• Primary (PRI): Connect your appliance (dryer, water heater, etc.)
• Secondary (SEC): Connect your EV charger This ensures your appliance can operate whenever needed without interruption.

For Dual EV Setup:

• Primary (PRI): Connect the EV you want to charge first or most frequently
• Secondary (SEC): Connect your second EV charger This allows you to prioritize charging for your primary vehicle.

Power Management:

• The Primary outlet can access the circuit's full capacity (within safety limits)
• The Secondary outlet automatically pauses when needed
• Switching between outlets may take up to 60 seconds as the Smart Splitter monitors power draw
• Both outlets can operate simultaneously if the total power draw remains under the switching limit

For optimal performance, use the NeoCharge App to monitor power usage and configure charging schedules that best suit your needs.
