Note: (1) Please disconnect the AC charging cable for both AC300+B300 units while binding into split phase box. (2) Certificated electrician is required to build the split phase system to connect the main panel and sub Panel. (3) The "Machine Type" setting on screen. Split-Phase output is achieved by bonding two AC300+B300 into one power system to double the available output power, voltage, and capacity. "Split Phase" is only used for connecting two AC300+B300 together (only for the 100-120V version of the AC300+B300). Launch Split Phase Function: (4) Only one touchscreen will be active when two AC300+B300 units are connected in split phase system. (5) If one of the AC300+B300 is out of power, the Split Phase Bonding function will deactivate automatically.

Note: click clear the alarm history if the buzzer sounded
NOTE: 1)The selected "Master" unit will sets the operating AC300+B300 as the one to control both two AC300+B300. 2) Before you begin installing your Reliance Controls transfer switch system, you need to create a plan for the appliances you choose to run during a power outage. In setting up a transfer switch to get the most power from your two power stations in split phase power system, it is desirable to "balance the load" between the two phases of your transfer switch. Devices which will consume the most of the two power stations' wattage should be divided between the two. Thirdly, connect the AC300+B300 to the transfer switch . Please installed by the electrician refer to the example as below:

About charge cable connection : Machine type is just used to set for Split Phase, The AC Input Cable (Optional Purchase) is designed to match Split Phase System. One end of the cable is connected to the NEMA L14-30 socket, and the other end is connected to the AC input interface of both two units through aviation plug. it is recommended that you choose our matching AC input cable (BLUETTI 30A-AC-charging-cable). The AC input ports of the two machines are connected to L1, N, PE and L2, N, PE. Make sure that the phase of the two machines is correct. The current capacity of AC input plug shall be 30A. We need purchase a BLUETTI 30A-AC-charging-cable ,refer to 3.3. the connect method as following:
