Multiple Recharging Methods

Wall Charging	Solar Panels	Car Charging	Electric Generator
About 1.5 Hours	About 5 Hours	About 7.5 Hours	About 1.5Hours

WALL CHARGING:

The CAPTAIN 700 uses fast charging technology with a maximum input power of 600W; it can be charged up to 80% in 1 hours and fully charged in 1.5 hours. In addition, you can select fast charging 600W, slow charging 200W(silent charging), or custom charging through the App. Default input power is 600w.

SOLAR PANEL CHARGING:

Users can choose, 200W solar panel or 100W solar panel to charge the CAPTAIN 700. The DC input voltage range is 12V-30V, the maximum current is 12A, and the maximum charging power is 240W. In full sunlight, the CAPTAIN 700 can be charged with 2 x 100W solar panels or 1 x 200W solar panel alone, which will take about 5 hours to complete a full charge.

CAR CHARGING:

The CAPTAIN 700 can be charged with a car. It supports 12V car charging and takes about 7.5 hours to fully charge. Charge using the car charger after you’ve started the car to avoid failure to start due to insufficient car battery. In addition, please make sure that the Car Charging Input Port and the Car Charging Cable are in good condition. VIGORPOOL takes no responsibility for any losses or damages caused by failure to follow instructions.

ELECTRIC GENERATOR CHARGING:
The CAPTAIN 700 can be charged in about 1.5 hours using a traditional generator

Connect Two Captain 700

Connect the parallel port of the CAPTAIN 700 through the parallel cable and turn the AC button on until the parallel graph on the LCD is lit, indicating a successful parallel connection. AC output power provides up to 1400W continuous output, using a capacity of up to 1344Wh. Users can use the AC port on either product. Please avoid using load devices that exceed the rated power of 1400W

Please note: The parallel cable needs to purchase additional.

**IOT Distribution Network Usage Process

**

Click the IOT button to start the IOT function, and the WIFI icon will be on.
Press and hold the IOT button for 3-4 seconds until the WIFI icon disappears and then release, the WIFI icon will flash, and the device will enter the network configuration state.

Notes on Boost

Traditional power stations will shut down if the continuous output power is exceeded. In contrast, the CAPTAIN 700 AC inverter boost function can support most resistive load devices up to 1000W without causing the device to be disabled due to overload protection. This product supports equipment with a maximum power of 1000W, but at this time the rated output power is still 700W

When using the Boost feature, please keep the following in mind:

(1) Pay special attention to the charging state.
(2) When using an appliance that requires between 700W-1000W, only use that one appliance. Trying to run multiple AC devices while using the boost feature could result in voltage fluctuations that could damage appliances over time.
(3) If the 700W-1000W appliance you are attempting to power with the CAPTAIN 700 exceeds the unit’s surge voltage limit of 1300W when starting the appliance, you may not be able to power that appliance.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS）

This power generator supports UPS function. You can use the AC charging cable to connect the grid and the AC input port of this power generator, the appliance can be connected to the AC output port of this power generator to work (at this time the AC power comes from the grid, not this power generator), when the power is off, this power generator can automatically switch to battery power mode within 10ms.

Note: This function does not support 0ms switching. Therefore, it is not recommended to be used a s a UPS for highly sensitive equipment, such as data servers and workstations without confirming compatibility or proper testing before use. It is also recommended to only use the UPS function for one device at a time to avoid overload protection. VIGORPOOL assumes no responsibility and is therefore not liable for data loss or damage caused by the use of this product in setups that it was not intended for and the disregard of this recommendation
