Settings
This section provides general setting configurations, including language, AC/DC output and input, ECO modi machine type, system date/time, etc.
Note: Check all the settings before first use.
AC frequency and voltage can only be adjusted after AC output is turned off. Voltage and frequency reference: EU/UK: 230V/50Hz AU: 240V/50Hz.

Data
This section provides all basic information including product, inverter and charger, battery, and alarm history.

Note: ‘Input & Output’ indicates the input and output status of this unit; ‘Battery Information’ indicates the connection status of battery pack(s); ‘Alarm History’ records all alarms generated which can be manually deleted.

When on this mode, the AC output will automatically turn off after 4-hour low(‘.’:30W) or no load to save power.

Charging

AC Charging
Consider the specifications of utility, AC outlet and charging cable before setting the Max. Grid Input Current.
Note: The Max. Grid Input Current is set at l0A by default and only works when ACS00 connects to the grid. Email to BLUETTI Customer Service for password.

Plug the ACS00 into the wall outlet via the AC charging cable.

Generator Charging
Connect ACS00 to the generator via the charging cable*.

• Sold separately.
  Note: BLUETTI recommends an inverter generator that delivers at least S000W pure sine wave AC power. Voltage and frequency limit: EU/UK: l95.5-253VAC/47-53Hz AU: 204-264VAC/47-53Hz

PVCharging
ACS00 supports dual PV input with the DC input cable. Connect the solar panels (in series or parallel) to ACS00 and CHECK the PV connection on LCD screen.

Note :
Please make sure your solar panels at each input comply with: oc’172-lSOV Vmp 72-lS0V Power: 7500W Max.

E.g. Connect three BLUETTI PV350 solar panels in series to DCl or DC2.BLUETTI PV350: Voc=46.5V Vmp=37.5V Current=9.2A Max. Total: Voc=46.Sx3=739.5V Vmp=37.Sx3=772.5V Current=9.2A Max.

• OCV: Open circuit voltage, also for Voe. The maximum voltage that the solar panel can produce with no load on it.
• Vmp: Voltage at maximum power. The voltage available when the panel is operating at its peak performance output.

The roof panel can also charge the ACS00. If the panel’s OCV falls in 750-SS0V, please use the D300S to lower the voltage. Find details in D300S PV Voltage Step Down Module User Manual.

Car Charging
Connect the ACS00 to the vehicle plug-in cigarette lighter port via the DC input cable and car charging cable.
Note: Set the ‘Others’ as DC7/DC2 input source to enable car charging The Max. input current is 8.2A.

Lead-acid Battery Charging
Connect the ACS00 with the lead-acid battery via the DC input cable and lead- acid battery charging cable.8
Note: Set the ‘Others’ as DC7/DC2 input source to enable lead-acid battery charging Clamp the positive connector(red) to the positive battery terminal and negative(black) to the other. The Max. input current is 8.2A.

The lead-acid charging cable is for charging ACS00 ONLY.

Dual Charging
Set the ‘PV’ as DC7/DC2 input source to enable AC/Generator+ PV Charging. Set the ‘Others’ as DC7/DC2 input source to enable AC/Generator+ Adapter/
Car/Lead-acid Battery Charging. Turn on the ‘PV Parallel Enable’ to enable excessive PV charging(> 7500W, <l50V).

Discharging

• 6744Wh* x DoD x 11-;- (load power)= charging time (estimated)
• Take the AC500+2*B300S combo as an example.

Note
DoD refers to the Depth of Discharge, ri is the local inverter efficiency.
DoD=95%, r,=90%.
DoD may vary depending on ambient-operating temperature and discharge rate. Load power and charging time are measured in Watt and Hour.

Capacity Expansion

ACS00 supports up to 6 expansion batteries for a total ofl8,432Wh capacity. Connect ACS00 to B300S via the PlS0D battery expansion cable, or B300 via the PlS0D to P090D cable. For more details, please refer to B300S or B300 User Manual.

Note: If there’s only one B300S connected, the combo delivers a maximum output of 4500W. To get 5000W output, please connect at least one expansion battery to each expansion port.

UPS
Plug the ACS00 + B300S combo to a standard wall outlet or tie them to the grid. When the grid fails, the combo steps in and provides power for connected devices.
Plug-in UPS:

Grid-tied UPS:

• The grid-tied UPS should be built by a qualified electrician. Please contact BLUETTI Customer Service for details. ACS00 has 4 UPS modes-Standard, Time Control, PV Priority, and Customized UPS, and BLUETTl’s UPS mode guide is as follows:

  1. The standard UPS mode is good for regions with unstable grid power supply.
  2. The Time Control UPS mode will save your electricity bills by setting the charging and discharging time.
  3. The PV Priority UPS mode is better for regions with plenty of sunlight all the year.
  4. The Customized UPS mode allows you to design your power supply system.

Please refer to BLUETTI Support on YouTube for detailed instructions.

BLUETTI APP
Download the app from App Store or Google Play and follow the BLUETTI APP INSTRUCTIONS to better control and monitor the ACS00 + B300S combo.

Power Lifting Mode
This mode can be enabled in BLUETTI App. When on this mode, the combo can power high drain pure resistive loads4\s6000W), while the rated output power remains 5000W.

Note: Make sure the combo disconnects the grid and the B300S doesn’t overload. The ACS00 detects the resista nee of devices and adjusts the output voltage automatically. The mode fails when the ACS00 drops below 70% of its rated voltage.

Includes heaters, irons or any other devices consisting of heating elements only.
