4. Setup
4.1. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge your E3600LFP power station using one of the following methods:
- AC Wall Outlet: Connect the provided AC charging cable to the AC input port and a wall outlet. The unit supports up to 3200W fast charging, reaching full capacity in approximately 1.3 hours.
- Solar Panels: Connect compatible solar panels to the XT60 DC input ports using the provided MC4 cables. The unit supports up to 2400W solar input, allowing a full charge in about 1.5 hours with 8x300W solar panels.
- Car Charger: Use the car charging cable to charge the unit from your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket.
4.2. Connecting Extended Batteries
To expand the capacity of your E3600LFP, connect the EP3000-48V extended batteries using the specialized connection cables. The flexible 90-degree connectors allow for various stacking configurations, optimizing space. Ensure the battery numbering is correctly adjusted using the provided screwdriver and stickers for proper communication between units.
4.3. App Setup
Download the pecron app from your smartphone's app store. Register an account and follow the in-app instructions to connect your E3600LFP via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The app allows for remote control, monitoring of power levels, and customized charging settings.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Turning On/Off Outputs
Press the 'DC ON/OFF' or 'AC ON/OFF' buttons on the unit's display or use the mobile app to activate or deactivate the respective output sections. The display will show the current status and power draw.
5.2. Monitoring and Settings
The touchable display provides comprehensive information. Navigate through menus to check battery health, input/output settings, and system preferences. You can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit for temperature readings. The 'Simple Mode' offers a simplified view of essential data.
5.3. UPS Functionality
When connected to an AC power source, the E3600LFP can function as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). In case of a power outage, it automatically switches to battery power within 8-20 milliseconds, ensuring continuous operation for connected devices.
5.4. Charging and Discharging Simultaneously
The E3600LFP supports pass-through charging, allowing you to charge the power station while simultaneously powering devices. This is particularly useful for maintaining power during grid outages or when using solar input to power loads directly.
6. Expansion
The E3600LFP is designed for modular expansion with EP3000-48V extended batteries. Each extended battery has its own DC outputs (12V-30A, USB-C, USB-A) and a 12-95V, 400W DC input for solar charging, allowing it to function as an independent power source. This unique feature provides redundancy and flexibility, ensuring power availability even if the main unit is not in use or fails.
6.1. Stacking Configurations
The extended batteries can be stacked in various configurations (e.g., one behind, three behind) and connected to the main unit using the flexible 90-degree connection cables. This design minimizes space requirements and allows for customized setups.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your pecron E3600LFP, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Regularly check the battery health status via the display or app.
- Ensure all ports are covered when not in use to prevent dust and moisture ingress.
- Periodically check for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and address any known issues.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your E3600LFP, refer to the detailed troubleshooting section in the included User Instruction Manual. Common issues and their solutions are typically covered there. For persistent problems, contact customer support.
8.1. Overload Protection
The unit is equipped with overload protection. If an output port is drawing too much power, the unit may shut down to prevent damage. Reduce the load and restart the output. A firmware update is recommended to address potential overload issues with the 12V socket output, which may allow excessive wattage for a short period.
8.2. RV AC Converter Loop
When using the power station to power an RV, ensure the RV's internal AC converter is turned OFF. Running the power station while the converter is on can create a charging loop, draining the power station's battery unnecessarily. Let your solar panels charge your RV batteries directly, not through the power station's AC output to the RV's converter.
