PV charge activation
To charge via PV, turn off the generator, connect the PV (or charger), and activate the PV charge function. The generator will enter charging state, displaying input power. AC and DC functions are not supported during this state. To enable AC and DC functions, press and hold the master power button for over 1 second to turn on the generator. After startup, connect PV (or charger) to begin charging. The screen will show input power wattage, and AC/DC functions can then be enabled.
Notice:
- If the Master Power Button is off, AC and DC buttons are also off, and no AC/DC output is available.
- If the Master Power Button is on, but AC and DC buttons are off, no AC/DC output is available. Turn on the AC power button and DC power button separately.
How to charge the product
Charge with solar power
Insert the solar charging cable or AC adapter into the input port. The display screen will light up, showing the charging power. The product will not turn on automatically when being charged. If it was turned off previously, it will remain off until manually turned on.

Cold Weather
Cold temperatures can affect battery capacity. While discharging may be possible below 0°C, charging is not recommended as it can severely damage the battery and impair its capacity.
- Low temperature charging protection: If charged below 0°C, the product will shut off and stop charging. It will reboot and resume charging when the temperature rises above 10°C.
- Low temperature discharging protection: If discharged at temperatures below -20°C, the product will turn off. It will reboot and resume output when the temperature rises above -10°C.
FAQ
Q1: How to check charging status?
The battery icon on the display shows the battery level in 5 segments. The icon flashes while charging and is fully illuminated when the battery is fully charged.
Q2: Can this product be used to charge my electronic devices?
Check the power rating of each output port. The AC output port, powered by the built-in inverter, has a maximum continuous output of 1000W. Ensure your electronic devices do not exceed this requirement.
Intelligent Cooling Control
The cooling fan activates automatically under the following conditions:
- The load of the inverter exceeds 400W.
- The load of the 12V cigarette lighter socket exceeds 80W.
- The charging power of attached appliances exceeds 100W.
Additionally, the generator's intelligent system adjusts PV input or AC output power based on the external case temperature to maintain a touchable surface temperature.
Note: Do not operate the machine if the cooling fan is broken.
Frequency Setting
To set the frequency:
- With the product powered on, turn on DC output and keep AC output off.
- Press and hold both the DC button and the AC button to enter setting mode.
- Press the AC power button to choose the inverter AC output frequency.
- Press and hold both the DC and AC buttons to exit frequency setting mode. Restart the machine.
