Display
 Only the master unit will display the current.

 The master unit can shut down the slave unit
when OVP/OCP is tripped on the master unit
(if the slave connector is wired for shut down
on alarm).
 OVP and OCP level is determined by the
master OVP and OCP level. The OVP and OCP
level on the slave unit is ignored.
