Thank you for choosing the Splitvolt™ Splitter Switch™! Charging your electric vehicle (EV)
just got easier! Share and automatically switch full power between your EV charger and
clothes dryer using your existing, standard dryer wall socket. Avoid the cost, complexity and
time of having an electrician install a dedicated circuit, and instead utilize your existing home
wiring with Splitvolt. This new category of product saves you thousands of dollars in rewiring
costs. Just plug it in, and Splitvolt monitors, displays, and switches full 24-amp power
on-demand between attached devices, providing the fastest possible safe charging on a
standard 30-amp circuit, at a fraction of the cost of installing a new, dedicated circuit in your
home.
Please read this manual before use.

Disclaimers
By purchasing this product, you acknowledge that it is an early-release version that has not yet received
UL/CE safety certification ratings.
This product is intended for indoor use and must be protected from moisture and the elements to maintain

(www.splitvolt.com), and then contact us if you are still unable to resolve.
Issue
Resolution
Splitter switch’s LED and LCD
are not turning on
Is power available?
1. Check that the wall socket has power
2. Check that the wall plug is plugged in fully
3. Check that the built-in breaker is in ON position
The wall socket seems to be
upside down
There is no universal orientation for NEMA plugs, so yours could be
upside down. Just plug it in anyway.
The pins on the cable do not
match my wall socket
It is possible that the wrong model was ordered. Please email
[e-mail] or call [phone] for assistance.
Not getting power from either
one of the sockets
Double-check all plugs are pushed in completely
Splitter switch is not turning off
the EV Socket when dryer is
running
1. Confirm what type of dryer you have. If you have a gas line
running into the dryer, you have a gas dryer (even if it is plugged into
a NEMA 10-30 or NEMA 14-30 plug). Please email
[e-mail] or call [phone] for assistance.
2. Turn off energy saver mode on your dryer. Does the splitter switch
turn off the EV socket? If so, you have a rare high-efficiency dryer
that downshifts to 120V during part of the cycle. Please email
[e-mail] or call [phone] for assistance.
Hear a buzzing sound coming
from splitter switch
Turn off the breaker and turn it back on. The contacts may have
become misaligned. Powering on/off will help it self-realign.
My Tesla has an alert saying
“Unable to AC charge – Unplug
and retry”
Simply unplug/replug-in the charger handle to the vehicle to continue
charging. NOTE: Some special high-efficiency sensor dryer settings
may cause multiple switching, triggering the Tesla charger power
protection fault to pause charging. For optimal convenience and
charging performance, it is recommended that Tesla users do not use
special low-power settings on their dryer while charging.
