Note:
(1) Please disconnect the AC charging cable for both EP500Pro units while binding into split phase box.
(2) Certificated Technician is required to build the split phase system to power the Power Cabinet or Sub Panel.
(3 )The “Machine Type” setting on screen is used to enable or disable Split Phase output.
Split-Phase output is achieved by bonding two EP500Pro into one power system to double the available output power, voltage, and capacity.
●“Split Phase” is only used for connecting two EP500Pro together (only for the 100-120V version of the EP500Pro). A Fusion Box (P030A) is required (sold separately).
●Launch Split Phase Function:
(4) Only one touchscreen will be active when two EP500Pro units are connected.
(5) If one of the EP500Pro is out of power, the Split Phase Bonding function will deactivate automatically.
Warning: If you insist to charge the EP500Pro which has been connected into split phase box already, please make sure the L1/L2/N wire is set at the right place or the EP500Pro
will be damaged. L: Live wire N: Neutral wire
HOW TO CONFIGURE BOTH OF THE EP500 PRO:
Step 1: Turn off both of EP500 pro.
Step 2: Plug in the plugs from the Split Fusion Box Pro to the two EP500Pro’s outlets
Step 3: Plug in the communication cables to each of the two EP500Pro’s.
Step 4: Turn on one EP500 pro.
Step 5: Click the setting button on the LCD,
Step6: Click the NEXT,

Step7: Click the “single phase” of the Machine Type setting, then click the “Split phase”
Step8: Click the “Master”
Step 9: Turn on another EP500 pro.
Step10: Click the setting button on the LCD.
Step11: Following the Step 6- step 7: click the NEXT, then click the “single phase” and then click the “Split phase”.

Step12: Click the “Slave”
Note: click clear the alarm history if the buzzer sounded
NOTE: Select "Master" will set the operating EP500Pro as the one to control both two EP500Pro. Select "Slave" will set the operating EP500Pro as the other EP500Pro as the "Master" one.
CONNECTION:
Machine type is just used to set for Split Phase, “Split Phase” is only used for connecting 2* EP500Pro ( 100-120V Version) bonded 1 pairs of EP500Pro to one power system to double the
output power, voltage, so as to capacity. Please refer to Split Phase setting for detailed information.
In Split Phase Power System, it is recommended that you choose our matching AC input cable. The AC input ports of the two machines are connected to L1, N, PE and L2, N, PE. Make sure
that the phase of the two machines is correct.
This AC Input Cable (Optional Purchase) is designed to match Split Phase System. One end of the cable is connected to the NEMA L14-30 socket, and the other end is connected to the AC
input interface of both two units through aviation plug. It must be ensured that the phase of the two machines is correct.
The current capacity of AC input plug shall be ≥ 30A. We need purchase a BLUETTI 30A-AC-charging-cable and a NEMA L14-30R outlet to install the AC charge plug, the connect method
as following:

WRONG CONNECTION
It`s forbidden to connect EP500Pro into Split Phase System when AC charging is ON, please use AC Input Cable(Optional Purchase) to charge both of
your power stations in Split Phase System. Wrong Connection will damage the battery inside the power station and your warranty will be invalid.
Thirdly, connect the EP500 Pro to the transfer switch
NOTE:
Before you begin installing your Reliance Controls transfer switch system, you need to create a plan for the appliances you choose to run during a power outage. In setting up a transfer switch to
get the most power from your two power stations in split phase power system, it is desirable to “balance the load” between the two phases of your transfer switch. Devices which will consume
the most of the two power stations’ wattage should be divided between the two.
