13 Forced Load Sharing
13.9 Auto-Equalize with Forced Load Sharing
If desired, Auto-Equalize mode only needs to be configured on the
Primary ATevo. Secondary ATevos can also enable Auto-Equalize
mode, but it will only matter if the Primary ATevo is offline.
13.10 Firmware Updates with Forced Load Sharing
The recommended order to update firmware on ATevos sharing load
is to update Secondary chargers first, and Primary chargers last. If
a communications issue occurs after the upgrade, reset the Primary
ATevo or rerun discover mode on the Primary ATevo.
13.11 Troubleshooting Load Sharing ATevos
• Ensure that at least one ATevo is configured as Primary on Port 2
or 3, and a Serial Communication Adapter (A13) is plugged into
that port.
• Ensure that at least one ATevo is configured as Secondary
on Port 2 or 3, and a Serial Communication Adapter (A13) is
plugged into that port.
• Ensure that each Serial Communication Adapter board (A13x)
used for Forced Load Sharing is configured for RS-485, and is
wired correctly.
• Verify that all ATevos are communicating. The Serial
Communication Adapters (A13) have a yellow and green LED
that light briefly when the ATevo is sending or receiving data
respectively. These LEDs can be used to identify the problem
source.
• Verify the voltage cabilbration of all ATevos connected in Forced
Load Sharing.
