ListofFaultCodes
CODE SIGNIFICANCE SOLUTIONS
E01 Battery over-voltage Please disconnect the charging cable and stop charging
E02 Battery under-voltage Please disconnect the output and charge the device
E03 Inverter overheating Please disconnect the output and wait 1-2 hours before operation
E04 Abnormal input voltage Please disconnect the AC charging cable or Solar PV input cable
E05 Abnormal grid frequency Please disconnect the charging cable
E06 Abnormal output voltage Please disconnect the output and check the electric appliance
E07 AC output short circuit Please disconnect the output and check the electric appliance
E08 AC output overload Please disconnect the output
E09 Inverter fault Please contact [email protected]
E16 AC charging overload Please disconnect the output
FAULT
NOTE: When the DC load is abnormal, the system will
automatically turn off the output and will not show the fault
code. Please disconnect the output and check the electrical
equipment then try again. When the USB load is abnormal,
the corresponding output power will be zero and the system
will not show the fault code. Please disconnect the outputs
and check the electrical equipment then try again.

RE-CHARGING
Use the original AC line to charge, the
full charge time is about 1.8-2.5 hours.
When charging, the LCD screen will be lit.
The LCD display will provide the battery
charging status in real time and the device
will display 100% when it is fully charged. It
is recommended to fully charge the device
every 3 months to maintain the life of the
device.
POWER OUTPUT ATTENTION
Press the appropriate output button to
select the desired outlet type. The output
port button must be pressed to activate
the corresponding output. When activated,
the LCD display will turn on and provide
detailed information about the output.
When no output is activated, the LCD
screen will automatically turn off.
OVERLOAD CONDITION
If the output ports are overloaded,the
device will automatically turn off the output
power. The code “E08” will be displayed on
the LCD screen.
DISCHARGING
Hold the “Power on/off” button for 1
second to turn on the device. Hold the
“Power on/off” button for 3 seconds to
turn off the device. The device uses an
advanced battery management system that
allows it to charge the connected device
through AC or DC output or USB output.
HOW TO SWITCH FREQUENCY?
The device can intelligently identify the
frequency of voltage when charging and
can automatically set the frequency, so
please charge before using. After plugging
in the charging cable, the display will show
the frequency of current grid voltage. If
it displays “F50”, it is 50Hz. If it displays
“F60”, it is 60Hz. You can also manually set
and change the voltage frequency. Before
using the power station,please conrm
the voltage frequency of your electrical
equipment, 50 Hz or 60 Hz? Then hold the
“Power on/off” button for 1 second to turn
on the device. If “50” is displayed on the
LCD, it means that the operating frequency
of the power station is 50Hz. If “60” is
displayed on the LCD screen,it means 60Hz.
If the frequency displayed on the LCD
display does not match the frequency of
the local power grid, you must change the
frequency according to the following steps:
Step 1: Hold the ‘Power on/off’ button for 3
seconds to power off(the LCD display screen
will turn off).
Step 2: Hold the “AC on/off” button down
for 1 second, while holding the rst button
down hold the “Power On/off” button for
1 second. Release both ngers and you will
see the frequency.

COOLING FAN
The equipment is designed with an internal
cooling fan to ensure that the product
runs within the proper temperature range.
When the device experiences a high output
load, it will automatically turn on the fan.
During discharging and charging, the fan
may run intermittently to keep the internal
temperature within the operating range.
When the AC circuit is activated, the fan is
likely to start to ensure normal operation.
POWER SAVING SLEEP MODE
(1) No charging (AC input + PV), no
discharging (DC+USB+AC). When charging
is not connected and only the main switch
is turned on, it will enter sleep mode after
5 minutes.
(2) If any charging is connected (regardless
of whether there is power) it will not sleep.
(3) If the USB port is outputting <5W,
DC<5W and AC<25W, it will enter sleep
mode after a delay of 8 hours.
(4) The self-consumption of the whole
machine is less than 5mA after shutting
down all switches and entering sleep mode.
(5) Self-consumption after switching of the
equipment is less than or equal to 200μA.
STORAGE
If it will be stored for more than 1 month
and the maximum storage time shall not
exceed 6 months, please charge it to at
least 50% capacity and keep it indoors at
a normal temperature. Please keep it away
from direct sunlight. Excessive temperature
will lead to reduced service life, overheating,
and re. Extremely cold conditions below
the specied storage range can also impair
the performance and service life of the
equipment. Please keep away from corrosive
chemicals and gasses.
After taking it out of storage, perform
a visual inspection to ensure that the
appearance of the equipment and all
accessories are normal. Check the vents on
the intake and exhaust sides to make sure
they are free of foreign objects.
