BLUETTI IOT Controller S010A Instruction Manual

1. Communication Methods

The EP600 energy storage system connects to the IOT controller. Inverter information is accessible via the mobile APP through Bluetooth or WiFi, allowing for remote control of the inverter's working mode. System working information (power generation, alarms, status) is uploaded to the server via WiFi. Users can utilize the APP to view and control the device, which requires registering an account and binding the device by scanning the EP600's QR code.

The IOT controller supports the following communication methods:

3. Installation

[Danger] Before drilling, ensure you avoid any embedded water pipes or electrical lines within the wall to prevent hazards.

Installation Steps:

1. Drill 2 pilot holes in the wall. Refer to figures 6.14.1 (recommended position) and 6.14.2 (drill hole specifications, showing dimensions of 24mm and 2-Ø50.0) for drill position and hole size. The depth of the hole should be 26mm.
2. Hammer the expansion anchor into the drilled hole until it is flush with the wall. Figure 6.14.3 visually guides this step.
3. Align the IOT controller bracket with the wall holes. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the bracket to the wall with two self-tapping screws into the expansion anchors. Figure 6.14.4 illustrates this attachment.
4. Align the controller's buckle over the bracket's U-slot and push the controller downwards until it snaps securely into place. Figures 6.14.5 and 6.14.6 show the controller being mounted onto the bracket.

6. Firmware Upgrade

6.11.1 Upgrade via USB Drive

The EP600 inverter supports firmware upgrades via a USB drive to maximize its performance and avoid failures caused by firmware errors.

Upgrade Steps:

1. Insert the USB drive into a USB port on your computer.
2. Download the upgrade file, unzip it, and store it on the USB drive.
3. Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the EP600.
4. Power on the EP600.
5. The firmware upgrade starts automatically once the upgrade files are detected. The controller will indicate it is upgrading DSP and ARM components.
6. The buzzer will beep once after the firmware is updated successfully. Please unplug the USB drive promptly; otherwise, the EP600 may report a USB Format Error.
7. Pair the EP600 with the BLUETTI app to check the firmware version on your phone.
