The Dynamic load management screen allows you to enable or disable the Dynamic load management (DLM) functionality. When the functionality is enabled, the screen allows you to:
pair the charging station with a metering device, which can control your charging speeds,
set all DLM related settings.
Open the Device configuration screen and select Dynamic load management.
The Dynamic load management screen opens.
By default, the DLM functionality is disabled.
To enable it, toggle the switch.
When DLM is enabled, the options parameters for the currently selected metering device are displayed; if no device has been selected, Core Load Guard options parameters are shown by default.
If the DLM had previously been set up and the functionality was merely disabled, re-enabling it will display the screen with the settings parameters that were configured before it was disabled. The same applies if a different metering device was selected and the charging station was not restarted to apply the changes.
The options parameters displayed on the screen depend on the device selected device in the Metering device field, and may additionally vary based on other parameters set on this screen settings.
An edit icon is displayed next to the value only if you have permission to modify it; otherwise, the value is read-only.
