Overview:

Installing your Smart Splitter is a straightforward process that typically takes 5-10 minutes. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure proper and safe installation.

Required Tools:

  • Phillips head screwdriver
  • Time required: 5-10 minutes

Installation Steps:

  1. Turn Off Power
  • IMPORTANT: Locate the circuit breaker controlling your 240V outlet
  • Turn off the breaker before beginning installation
  • Unplug any appliance or EV charger currently using the outlet
  1. Install Mounting Bracket
  • Locate the included mounting bracket and bracket screws (2x)
  • Remove the existing faceplate screws
  • Align the mounting bracket with the outlet faceplate
  • IMPORTANT: Ensure the bracket slots align with the gold mounting points on your Smart Splitter
  • Secure the bracket using the provided bracket screws
  1. Plug in Smart Splitter
  • Insert the Smart Splitter into your outlet
  • Secure it to the mounting bracket using either:
    • Thumb screws (2x) for easy removal
    • Panhead screws (2x) for a lower profile installation
  • Note: Choose panhead screws if thumb screws interfere with cable orientation
  1. Connect Primary Device
  • The Primary outlet (marked "PRI") always has priority
  • Plug your primary device (typically your appliance or priority EV) into this side
  • Look for "PRI" marking next to the LED indicator
  1. Connect Secondary Device
  • Plug your secondary device into the outlet marked "SEC"
  • This outlet automatically pauses when the primary device draws power
  • Look for "SEC" marking next to the LED indicator
  1. Restore Power
  • Turn the circuit breaker back on
  • Verify power by checking the LED indicators:
    • WHITE indicates the unit is powered and idle
    • GREEN indicates power is being drawn
    • All other LED colors indicate different states (see LED Indicator Guide)
  1. Connect to WiFi and Configure Settings in App
