What this alert means:
Circuit Breaker Sharing Network: Need one (and only one) Wall Connector set to Master.
What to do:
Troubleshooting Alerts
214MODEL 3 Owner

Only one Wall Connector can be set to a master configuration. All other linked Wall Connectors must be set to
paired (position F). Set one of the Wall Connectors to Master and all others to paired.

Unable to charge - More than 1 primary unit
Ensure only 1 Wall Connector is set as primary
What this alert means:
Circuit Breaker Sharing Network: Need one (and only one) Wall Connector set to Master.
What to do:
Only one Wall Connector can be set to a master configuration. All other linked Wall Connectors must be set to
paired (position F). Set one of the Wall Connectors to Master and all others to paired.
(CC_a023)
Unable to charge - Too many Wall Connectors
Ensure no more than 3 units paired with primary
What this alert means:
Circuit Breaker Sharing Network: More than three Wall Connectors are paired with the same Master.
What to do:
One or more paired Wall Connectors must be moved to a different circuit and disconnected (unpaired) from this
Circuit Breaker Sharing Network.
(CC_a024)
Unable to charge - Low Wall Connector current
Primary unit current setting must be increased
What this alert means:
Incorrect rotary switch setting.
What to do:
Make sure there is no power to the Wall Connector. Remove the face plate and adjust the rotary switch to a valid
operating current setting. The correlation between switch setting and current is printed on the inside of the Wall
Connector. You can also refer to the Set the Operating Current section in the Wall Connector Installation Manual. If
the Wall Connector is set up for load sharing (paired with other Wall Connectors), the rotary switch of the master
unit must be set to an operating current setting that allows each paired Wall Connector to receive at least 6A of
charge current. Example: Three Wall Connectors are paired for load sharing. The master unit needs to be set to a
current of at least 3 * 6A = 18A or greater.

Unable to charge - Primary / paired unit mismatch
Wall Connector current ratings must match
What this alert means:
Circuit Breaker Sharing Network: The paired Wall Connectors have different maximum current capabilities.
What to do:
Only Wall Connectors with the same maximum current capabilities can be paired in a load-sharing (circuit breaker
sharing) network. Inspect the type labels on the Wall Connectors to make sure the current capabilities match. It is
further recommended to only pair Wall Connectors with the same part number, as an easy way to make sure paired
units are compatible.
(CC_a041)
Charge rate reduced - Wall connection hot
Outlet or Wall Connector wiring must be checked
High temperature detected by Wall Connector alerts indicate the building connection to the Wall Connector is
getting too warm, so charging has been slowed to protect the wiring and Wall Connector.
This is not typically an issue with your vehicle or your Wall Connector, but rather an issue with the building wiring.
This may be caused by a loose building wiring connection to the Wall Connector and can be
fixed quickly by an
electrician.
To regain normal charge speed, contact an electrician to inspect the building wiring connection to the Wall
Connector. They should make sure that all wires are properly connected and torqued according to the installation
guide for the Wall Connector.
Wall Connector installation guides can be found here.

Charging equipment not recognized
Try again or try different equipment
The charge port is unable to detect whether a charge cable is inserted or the type of charge cable connected.
If this alert appears while a charge cable is connected, it should be determined whether the issue is caused by the
charging equipment or the vehicle. Try charging the vehicle using
different external charging equipment (charge
cable, charging station, charging stall, etc.).
