The standards and guidelines applicable at the installation site must be observed during installation. · When used in water containing limescale, the EcoFlow PowerGlow must be descaled regularly. · To prevent corrosion damage to enameled or coated tanks, the tubular heating elements of the screw-in heating element are electrically insulated from the tank and have a defined conductive connection via a resistor, which increases the service life of the protective anode and the screwin heating element. · A permanent earthing of the water tank that the EcoFlow PowerGlow mounted to is mandatory. · The water tank that the EcoFlow PowerGlow mounted needs to be configured with a pressurerelief device, which is to be connected to a discharge pipe with a steady downward inclination in a frost-free environment. For installation details about a pressure-relief device, refer to the guide that comes together with it. · The ventilation holes of the housing must not be blocked. · Dismantling, manipulating or deactivating the safety devices is prohibited. · Condensation may have formed if the temperature has changed by more than 15 °C between transportation and installation site. Wait with the installation until the condensation has evaporated again. Direct commissioning without acclimatization time can lead to damage.

Do not screw in by rotating the housing of the control panel. · When refilling the water tank, ensure that the heating elements are completely surrounded by water, and must not be used in dry mode under any circumstances. Subsequently, the tank must be checked for leakage. NOTICE · Apply suitable sealant on the sealing ring if needed. · Do not apply overforce when screwing in the heating rod until until the sealing ring is slightly squeezed and deformed. (Optional) Apply suitable sealant on the sealing ring if needed. A 4| Pipe Wrench (18") Electrical Connection CAUTION · All electrical connections must be carried out by a professionally trained and certified electrician. En NOTICE · Please purchase cables that meet local certification standards. · Do not remove the protective cap of unused terminals. Otherwise, the IP rating of the equipment will be affected. · The cable colors shown in the figures are for reference only. Select an appropriate cable according to the local standards. · Do not connect loads between this equipment and the AC switch that directly connects to the equipment. · The PE pole of the AC IN terminal must be connected. · In any case, the temperature sensor must be attached to the storage tank above the heating rod in order to deliver a usable measurement result. The EcoFlow PowerGlow can be operated in combination with either EcoFlow PowerOcean system or third-party PV system. Communication with the EcoFlow PowerOcean system takes place via RS485 or accessing the same wireless network (Wi-Fi). When connected with the PowerOcean system, the EcoFlow PowerGlow will be powered by PV excess and utility grid, implementing intelligent scheduling of energy use via EcoFlow App. Effortlessly manage, monitor, and control your devices through a sleek, user-friendly interface via app or web management. With the self-powered mode of the EcoFlow PowerOcean system, the self-consumption rate of the system, and the self-sufficiency rate of residential energy will be greatly improved, reducing electricity & gas costs.
