01. EP500 Introduction
1.1. Introduction
• BLUETTI is proud to take the energy storage world by storm with the release
of its first home energy storage system series - the EP500. With four smooth-
rolling transport wheels, the EP500 was not designed to be a large solar
battery mounted on the wall or in the garage. The BLUETTI EP500 was not only
designed to be a "No Installation Needed", plug-and-play mobile UPS that can
easily be moved to a desired location when necessary. But also a power backup
system that ensures available emergency power when power outages occurs.
• The EP500 system uses a dual-core controller (ARM controller + DSP controller)
which combines digital and analog signals perfectly to manage and control the
AC Charger module, the MPPT module, the AC Inverter module, the DC-to-DC
module, and the Battery module.
• This product integrates a solar charge controller, AC charge controller, AC
inverter, lithium battery and battery management system into one. It converts
clean and environmentally friendly solar energy and grid electricity into clean
electricity and sends it to all of your connected loads in your home.
• The EP500 Power Station system is suitable for areas with energy shortages or
unstable power. And also supplies power to disaster emergency areas without
electricity such as isolated islands and border posts.

hours.
02. General Safety Instructions
Please read this manual before operating.
• A licensed electrician is required to install the grid-tied power system as it
involves connecting the wires of critical loads from your main electrical box to
the BLUETTI Sub Panel (Optional Purchase).
• DO NOT place the power station near heat sources. It is prohibited to place the
equipment in an environment with flammable, explosive gas, or smoke. It is also
prohibited to operate the equipment in this environment.
• DO NOT attempt to replace the internal battery or any other component of the
equipment by anyone other than authorized personnel. There are no enduser
serviceable components.
• DO NOT operate in wet conditions. If the equipment becomes wet, please let the
unit dry completely before using.
• Please ensure proper ventilation while in use and do not obstruct fan openings.
Inadequate ventilation may cause permanent damage to the equipment.
• DO NOT stack anything on top of the power station while in storage or while in
use. DO NOT move the unit while operating as vibrations and sudden impacts

EN-03
Just Power On
may lead to poor connectivity to hardware inside.
• Warning: DO NOT insert foreign objects into any ports of the EP500 (both AC &
DC & ventilation holes). The power station generates the same potentially lethal
AC power as a household wall outlet. Please use carefully and keep children
away from it.
• In case of fire, only a dry powder fire extinguisher is suitable for the product.
• For safety purposes, please use only the original charger and cables designed for
the equipment. We are not liable for damage caused by third-party equipment
and may render your warranty invalid.
2.1. Installation (for grid-tie system)
• Before touching any conductor surface or terminal, measure the voltage of the
contact point to confirm that there is no danger of electric shock.
• After the equipment is installed, packaging materials such as cartons, foam,
plastics, cable ties, etc. should be removed from the equipment area.
• Except those who are authorized to operate the equipment, please keep others
away.
• The handling and usage of any tools should be insulated and protected from
shock.
• All wiring holes need to be sealed. Use fire-resistant mud to seal the wiring holes
that have been routed and use the cover of the cabinet.
• It is strictly forbidden to alter, damage or obscure the logo and nameplate on the
equipment.
• When installing the device, please use the appropriate tools to tighten any
screws.
• Live operation is strictly prohibited during installation.
• Paint scratches during equipment transportation and installation must be
repaired in a timely manner. Long-term scratches that are exposed may result in
damages.
• Before starting initial operations, the equipment should be secured onto a floor
or other permanent objects, such as walls or mounting brackets.
• It is prohibited to clean any electrical components inside and outside the cabinet
with water.
• Do not change or modify the structure, installation sequence, etc. of the
equipment without prior authorization.

2.1.1. Personal Safety
• During the operation of the equipment, if a malfunction that may cause personal
injury or equipment damage is found, it should be powered off immediately.
• Please do not power on the device if the device has not been properly installed
or confirmed by all relevant personnel.
2.1.2. Personnel Requirements
• The personnel responsible for the installation and maintenance of the
equipment must first undergo rigorous training to understand various safety
precautions and be able to grasp the correct method of operation.
• Trained personnel are personnel who have undergone corresponding technical
training and have the necessary experience to be aware of the dangers that are
present during the operation of the unit and can take measures to reduce the
dangers to him or herself and upon others.
• The replacement of equipment or parts (including software) must be done by
professionals or by authorized personnel only.
2.1.3. Anti-static requirements
When installing the sub-panel with your main panel, you must wear anti-static
gloves or an anti-static wrist strap before touching the device. The other end of
the anti-static wrist strap should be properly grounded. Do not touch any bare
components directly with your hands.
2.1.4. Drilling
The following safety precautions are to be considered when drilling holes on the
wall or into the ground:
• It is strictly forbidden to drill holes into the equipment. Drilling will alter and
damage the electromagnetic shielding performance of the equipment, internal
components, and possibly cables. The risk of metal shavings entering the device
can cause short circuits.
• Wear goggles and protective gloves when drilling holes.
• The equipment should be shielded and protected during the drilling process to
prevent debris from falling into the equipment. After drilling, any and all debris
which may have landed on the equipment should be removed and cleaned in a
timely manner.

2.2. Installation environment requirements
• When the equipment is running, please do not block the vents or the heat
dissipation system in order to prevent high temperatures and/or fires.
• The equipment should be installed in an area away from liquids. It is forbidden to
install it near or below water pipes, air outlets and other locations that are prone
to water condensation.
• It is forbidden to install the unit underneath HVAC vents, pipes, windows or
other similar areas that are prone to water leaks in order to prevent liquids from
entering into the equipment. Failure to do so may result in equipment failure
resulting from a short circuit.
• If liquid is found inside the device, please turn off the power immediately and
notify the administrator.
• The equipment room must be properly insulated and the walls and floors must
be damp-proof.
