Forced Load Sharing Operation - HindlePower ATevo Series Operating/Service Instructions Manual

13.5 Forced Load Sharing Operation

The Primary ATevo runs a discovery poll each time it is reset or
power-cycled. For discovery poll to work, Secondary ATevo(s) need to
be powered before the Primary.
During a discovery poll, the Primary ATevo queries ATevos with
Charger IDs A, B, C, and D. The Primary ATevo records the Charger
ID of a responding ATevo in its database, and immediately attempts
to start sharing load with that ATevo. Once a Primary ATevo
discovers a Secondary ATevo, it expects it to be present the next time
it is reset or power-cycled. As such, the Primary will continuously poll
any previously discovered Secondary whether it is present or not. It
will no longer matter which ATevo starts up first, following a power
cycle or reset.
A user can also initiate, on demand, a discovery poll on the Primary
ATevo as follows:
MENU > SYSTEM SETTINGS > discover new hardware
• As seen above, once load sharing has become active, Secondary
ATevos will show '(S)' after the charger mode. In similar manner,
the Primary ATevo will show '(P)' with the load-share indicator.
• Secondary ATevos display the same charger mode as the Primary
controlling them.
