Notes:
Whether you’re building the EP600 ESS via AC or DC coupling, please connect the
following loads to the GRID terminal of EP600.
1.Single-phase appliances with a rated power greater than 2000W.
2.Three-phase appliances with a total power greater than 6000W.
e.g.
• When you run a 2500W single-phase appliance with the EP600 ESS, it will be
powered via the EP600 ESS and the grid at the same time (2000W from the EP600,
and 500W from the grid).
• When you apply EP600 ESS to a 6500W three-phase appliance, the appliance will
be powered via the EP600 ESS and the grid, too (6000W from the EP600, and 500W
from the grid).

3. Stacking EP600 ESS
3.1 Place the base firmly on the ground
Note: Keep a distance of 55mm between the base and wall.
3.2 Move units onto the base
3.3 Attach the mounting brackets
Step 1 Assemble the brackets.

It makes sense to have home backup to keep your family safe and comfortable
during an outage. Connected to EP600’s BACKUP terminal, your essential loads will
run as usual when the grid fails. EP600 is capable of delivering 2000W single-phase
and 6000W three-phase power. If you use it for single-phase loads, distribute the
loads evenly and reasonably among the phases.
4.10 Attach the plastic covers to EP600.
4.11 Connect to the main panel

4.11.1 Connect the Meter communication cables to the COM Port (For EP600 ESS
with grid-tied PV inverter only)
1) Connect the cables of UA/UB/UC/UN to the L1/L2/L3/N of the PV inverter.
2) Connect the CT to the Meter and tie them to the PV inverter AC output cables.
3) Please connect the 485-A red wire to pin 21, 485-B black wire to pin 22.
e.g. Load distribution for each phase (single-phase power≤2000W).
Recommended connecting appliances: refrigerator and indoor lights.
