3. Powerporter Overview
About Power Porter
This product is mainly combined with inverter, photovoltaic (PV) and related accessories to
build resideal energy storage system. The system is used to store the power generated
by PV to the connected baery and convert the direct current (DC) generated by the
connected baery into alternag current (AC) and provide it to the home grid.
(Note: The actual Resideal ESS may also include electrical equipment such as
distribun boxes and metering meters)
Powerporter is a lithium-ion baery that can store electrical energy and outputs DC
current. Powerporter only maintains electrical connecn with the inverter. The electrical
energy generated by the PV is converted by the inverter Dc to DC and stored in the
connected Powerporter. When Powerporter is needed, Powerporter’s electrical energy is
converted by the inverter DC to AC and transmied to the home grid to provide power for
household appliances.
The main funcn of the home energy storage system depends on the inverter.
Powerporter is a device that stores electrical energy.
Funons of home ESS:
34. Self-producn and sales of electrical energy
Use solar power and Power Porter to reduce the dependence on the grid and store
electricity during the day for night use.
35. Backup power
When the power grid is out of power, it can be seamlessly switched to Power Porter as

9
a backup power source to protect your home from power outages.
36. Sell electrical energy
The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic array can be stored in a connected
Powerporter or sold to an energy supply company.
37. O-grid power supply
The system can be connected to diesel generators to ensure uninterrupted power
supply in areas without city power (such as islands and remote mountain areas).
(Note: The scheduling management of electrical energy in the system depends on the
inverter. Powerporter is commied to being coble with a variety of inverters. The
inverter you use does not necessarily contain all the above funcns)

Powerporter on and o
Startup steps：
Make sure the power cable is properly connected
Press the POWER buon.
Product boot
Remarks: Before the product is turned on, the internal relay of the baery will produce
sound when it is switched on / o, which is normal.
Shutdown steps：
Make sure the power cable is disconnected.
Press the POWER buon.
Product shutdown.
Remarks: Before the product is turned , the internal relay of the baery will produce
sound when it is switched on / o, which is normal.
Warning: The power-on and power- acns of the POWER buon are not
emergency operons for security incidents. If there is a safety problem in the home
energy storage system, please disconnect the leakage switch and isolan switch (in
the distribun box) in e. (Conr required).
Powerporter Communican Interface
Both CAN and RS485 interfaces are responsible for the communican with the inverter,
which is determined according to the adaptable inverter. See CAN/RS485 interface
den table.
Connect with Inverter
Ensure that the maximum conuous charge and discharge power of DC terminal is
less than 5000W during Powerporter operaon.

20
Opera
The inverter provides control and monitoring capabies through the applicon program.
During normal operaon, the Powerporter is controlled by the inverter, and the power
buon of the Powerporter should remain on.
Warning: Do not try to use third-party tools and diagnosc tools to communicate
with Powerporter between Powerporter and the inverter.
Trouble ng
If the system is not working properly, please perform the following steps：
Warning: Powerporter and inverter cannot be repaired by users, and must be
repaired by ceed installers.
Warning: If the Powerporter failure causes de and cannot be resolved in
 please report to nRuiT or nRuiT authorized service partner in  If not
reported to nRuiT or nRuiT authorized service partner within 2 weeks ar the
failure, the warranty is invalid.
38. If you cannot communicate with the inverter through the applicon, make sure that
the Internet connection is normal.
39. If neither the inverter nor the power switch responds：
•Turn the inverter
•C all input and output circuit breakers in the distribuon box
•Press the POWER buon to tur Powerporter
•Wait at least one minute
•Press the POWER buon to turn on the Powerporter
•Close the inverter switch and all input and output circuit breakers.
Note: If an event (such as a thunderstorm) causes the system to become unresponsive. Do
the following：
1. Turn the inverter.
2. Open all input and output circuit breakers in the distribun box.
3. Make sure there is no electrical connecn with Powerporter.
4. Press POWER buto close Powerporter.
5. Contact nRuiT support or nRuiT authorized dealer for help.
