Product Installation

Flush Installation Guide

1. Select installation position, position the framing template and find level with a leveling instrument. Draw cutting lines along the template, and use sawing tools to cut a  325 mm x 181 mm rectangular opening for flush installation.

2. Remove the surface cover and the wiring cover plate to expose the inner panel.

3. Remove the retainers near the input inlets and the load outlets.

4. Connect AC wires from the left side and DC wires from the right side. It is recommended to route wires through corresponding inlets and outlets (e.g. AC input wires  shall always go through the AC Input Inlet while AC output wires shall go through the AC Output Outlet). This will prevent potential wiring and electrical safety issues.

9. Insert the RJ45 CAN Bus cable to the CAN Bus Port. Ensure connection of the RJ45 CAN Bus cable to activate the six controllable DC circuits and essential load information’s.

10. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the AC and DC input wires to corresponding input terminals with screws (AC: M410 screws; DC: M510 screws).
    All wires must go through the inner panel for safe and protected connection to the Smart Distribution Panel.

11. For each circuit, open the wire snaps and insert the load wires correspondingly. Ensure each wire is snapped firmly. For DC circuits, ensure appropriate choice of fuse  according to load current, and insert the fuse to corresponding fuse slot.

12. AC and DC circuits are sorted from left to right, such sequence is also shown on EcoFlow App and Power Kit Console.

13. From left to right, the first six DC circuits are controllable circuits, which can be switched on and off from EcoFlow App and Power Kit Console.

14. It is recommended to select fuses with rated current greater than 1.35 times of corresponding load current.

15. Then install the surface cover firmly.

16. Install the wire cover and use M3*12 screws for fixing; Then install the surface cover firmly.

Wall-Mount Installation Guide

1. Use M3*12 screws to fix the wall-mount lugs on both sides of the Smart Distribution Panel

2. Use M4.2*19 self-tapping screws to fix the Smart Distribution Panel on the wall.

3. Remove the surface cover and the wiring cover plate to expose the inner panel.

4. Remove the retainers near the input inlets and the load outlets. Install Wire Protection Grommet at AC input inlets and the load outlets.

5. Connect AC wires from the left side and DC wires from the right side. It is recommended to route wires through corresponding inlets and outlets (e.g. AC input wires  shall always go through the AC Input Inlet while AC output wires shall go through the AC Output Outlet). This will prevent potential wiring and electrical safety issues.
