Please read this manual before operating.
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.
The following safety precautions are to be considered when drilling holes on the wall or into the ground:

Step 1:
Step 2:
Tip: The LCD display is a resistive touchscreen. It is recommended when operating the touchscreen that you press lightly with the edge off your fingernail until it "beeps" when it registers a press. (NOTE: Touchscreen sounds can be disabled in the Settings menu).
Tap "English" or "Japanese" icon to set as the system language display of your EP500.
ECO: Turn off the AC output port if the load on AC is less than 20W over 4 hours.
"Single Phase" is set as the default machine type if you are operating a single EP500. This is the only and correct setting if a single EP500 is being used. Machine type is just used to set for Split Phase, "Split Phase" is only used for connecting both *2 EP500 (exclusive for 100-120V Version) bonded 2 pairs of EP500 to one power system to double the output power, voltage, so as to capacity.
Please refer to Split Phase setting for detailed information.
Tips: EP500 will be set as the Standard UPS Mode.
There are altogether four working modes you can select in settings:
Standard UPS Mode: Default working mode (including Online and Offline mode).
PV Priority Mode: Recommended for areas in stable power supply.
Time Control Mode: Suitable for areas with peak and off-peak time-of-use rates for money saving.
Customized Mode: Customized the parameters for a better user experience.
Detailed UPS Mode setting please check the chapter UPS.
The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection can be turned ON or OFF by tapping the ON and OFF icon for either function.
In the Data section, you may view Product Info, Inverter & Charger Info, BMS Maintenance, and Alarm/Fault History by selecting each respective button.
When you select the "Inverter & Charger Info" button, you can view the PV charging and the adapter charging status, DC output and AC output information as well. The section can also be accessed directly from the shortcut icon on the main interface.
When you select the "BMS Maintenance" button, you can view the information of the BMS. This section can also be accessed directly from the shortcut icon on the main interface.
Click the "Alarm History" button, you can view all the alarm information generated by the machine. You can turn to the troubleshooting page to check the corresponding solutions.
Connect EP500 from CP1 via AC charging cable to the AC wall outlet @600W Max., the charging process will automatically stop when it reaches 100% capacity.
Charging Method 5: Supports charging the EP500 with CP1 and CP2 at same time. You can use any charging methods listed previously, simultaneous, to maximize charging power input. They are listed here again for your convenience. Select one method for CP1 and one method for CP2 for simultaneous charging.
CP1 Charging Port Select:
Method 1: GEN charging cable
Method 2: AC charging cable
CP2 Charging Port Select:
Method 3: T500 charging adaptor
Method 4: Solar panels
5120Wh / Total recharging power + 0.5-1Hrs (trickle charging time) = fully charging time estimation
E.g.: The total recharging power is 1100W(500W+600W) recharged by AC and 2nd adapter at same time, the estimation charging time will be 5.13-5.63Hrs.
The operational time of the EP500 is subject to many different factors such ambient temperature, discharge rate, remaining battery capacity, and other factors.
( The estimation operating time is only for reference )
An uninterruptible power supply or uninterruptible power source (UPS) is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or emergency power system or standby generator in that it will provide near-instantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries, supercapacitors, or flywheels.
Battery SOC High indicates the limit of capacity of the unit which can be recharged by grid, if you set the Battery SOC High at 80% at Customized Mode, then EP500 could be charged to 80% via grid. The rest of the 20% capacity will be recharged via solar panels.
Step 1: Plug the AC charging cable into wall outlet
Step 2: AC charging cable into AC input port(left one)
Step 3: Connect the load to EP500 via AC output port
Note: The output power in Plug-in UPS Mode is subject to the specification of the current and voltage from home circuit.
