Operating Instructions
Display Interface
The E3600LFP features an intuitive touchscreen display. You can navigate through various menus to monitor and adjust settings:
- Battery Health Status: View the consistency and status of individual battery cells.
- Input and Output Settings: Adjust AC charging speed, XT60 charging port mode (independent), and discharge/charge restrictions (0%-100%).
- System Settings: Configure automatic dimming, ECO mode, screen touch sensitivity, Wi-Fi reset, screen brightness, touch sound, time settings, temperature unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit), language, and restore factory settings.
- Simple Mode: A simplified display showing essential information. In this mode, screen touch functionality is disabled, and controls are managed via physical buttons or the app.
- Alarm Record: Access a log of system alerts and warnings.
- About Equipment: View device information.
The display also provides real-time data such as output power, DC12V voltage, DC module temperature, AC output voltage, output frequency, and inverter temperature. For solar input, it shows volts, amps, and combined wattage for each input.
Charging the E3600LFP Power Station
The E3600LFP offers multiple charging options:
- AC Input: Connect the AC charging cable to the AC input port. The unit supports up to 1800W charging with the standard cable, and up to 3200W with an optional 120V 30A charging cable (sold separately).
- DC Inputs:
- 12-30V, 150W (Max) input for 12V charging or small solar panels.
- 32-150V, 1200W (Max) x2 XT60 connectors for a total of 2400W solar input.
- Car Charging: Use the 12V socket car charging adapter to charge from your vehicle.
- Simultaneous AC and DC Charging: The E3600LFP can be charged via both AC and DC inputs simultaneously, even while using the AC inverter.
Output Ports
The E3600LFP provides a variety of output ports:
- AC Outputs: Four 20A AC outlets and one TTR 30A (travel trailer 30A) plug, providing a total AC output of 3600W.
- DC Outputs:
- 12V 30A outlet (ideal for diesel heaters).
- 12V 5A (5521 barrel port).
- 12V 10A socket.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pecron Double Voltage Hub and E3600LFP Power Station.
- Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris.
- Ensure proper ventilation by not obstructing the cooling fans.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Check cables and connections regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
- Periodically check for firmware updates via the pecron app to ensure optimal performance and address any known issues.
Troubleshooting
- Overcurrent Protection: If the unit experiences an overcurrent, it may trigger the overcurrent protection. Press the reset button located on the left side of the unit to restore operation.
- RV AC Converter Loop: When using the power station to power an RV, ensure your RV's internal AC converter is turned off. Running both simultaneously can create a loop, draining the power station unnecessarily. Allow your solar system to charge the batteries instead.
- 12V Socket Overload: If the 12V socket experiences an overload (e.g., pulling over 200W for extended periods), it may not shut off as expected, potentially causing damage. This is a known issue that requires a firmware update to address. Contact pecron support for the latest firmware.
- Inverter Noise: Some users may experience minimal noise from the inverter. While generally not an issue for most applications, users with sensitive equipment like ham radios may find it noticeable.
