MASTER POWER ON/OFF
Press and hold the power button to turn RUNHOOD Power Station on or off. Press and hold for 1 s to turn on; Press and hold for 3 s to turn off. When the RUNHOOD Power Station is on, the LCD Display Screen will light up. Press the power button to adjust the LCD backlight brightness and keep RUNHOOD Power Station running; If RUNHOOD Power Station is idle for 5 minutes, the LCD Display Screen will reduce the brightness of the backlight while the system is still working. RUNHOOD Power Station will automatically shut down if it is idle for more than 20 minutes (idle means no charging or discharging). -
DC INPUT: ADAPTER/CAR CHARGER/SOLAR CHARGER
It is DC6530 interface. There are three ways to recharge HE600-B: through AC Adapter of RUNHOOD Power Station, RUNHOOD car charger cable, or Seri 100W. Parallel connection of solar panels is supported, but the DC input limits the input power to 200W max for system protection. Supports 12V/24V max 10A car power input (make sure the engine is on to avoid running out of battery). -
AC ON/OFF
To enable AC power, press the AC power button, and the AC indicator will light up. When the power is 0%, the AC output and the AC indicator light will be off. When the power is more than 2%, the AC output will be normal again. When OVERLOAD occurs, AC output stops working, while AC indicator is on to remind that the power station is protected; When AC and OVERLOAD icons flash together with warning buzzer, please press AC ON/OFF button to reset. -
DC ON/OFF
Press the DC ON/OFF button to turn on or off the RUNHOOD Power Station DC output and light up its icon.
