Introduction Quick Start Guide

The Intelligent Charging System uses power sensors and charging logic to deliver the fastest,
most efficient possible charge. The system automatically evaluates the power draw from each
charging outlet, directing power to the areas with the most demand first and charging as many
devices simultaneously as possible from a single 15A outlet.
