13. XT90 Port
    This interface supports solar panel input or car charger input. It can support a wide range of input voltages ranging from 11.5v to 50v. For details, please refer to “Solar Panel Connection” and “Car Charging” in this manual.

14. AC Input
    If being charged from a household plug socket, the Power Station can reach a super-fast charging speed of 700W. This will enable the product to be fully charge from 0 -100% in 2 Hours. When charging in this way, please pay
    on to the following points:

    • Plug the power station directly in the wall socket to charge the product. Do not use extension cords as this can be a fire hazard.
      If you have to use an extension cable to charge the power station ensure that NO other appliances are plugged into the same extension cable plug at the time of use to avoid tripping the household plug socket.

UPS Mode

This product has a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) function. This allows you use the device to power items while the unit charges.

The usage and operation precautions are as follows:
See pic 1 below: when connected to the AC Mains power supply, via the AC input, the Power Station will enter UPS working mode. This means that the unit will power the AC electrical appliances in bypass mode and recharge the unit at 700w of power. In this working state, the rated power of the electrical appliance must be lower than 1100w otherwise overload protection may be triggered.

See Pic 2 below: When the AC mains is off , the bypass stops working and the product switches over to the inverter circuit within 10 milliseconds (1/10th of a second). This will enable the UPS mode and will continued to supply power to the electrical appliances uninterrupted and will work as normal within the s pecs of the power station.

As soon as AC power is restored, it will enable the UPS working mode again.

Connection of Solar Panels

Under the correct light conditions, this product can be recharge via solar panels. The recharge power is determined by the equipment (solar panels) and weather conditions.
In this charging mode, the power station can be recharge at a speed of up to 500w. The maximum input voltage is 50v. Please make sure you are using the correct solar panels and solar panel configuration. The input voltage cannot exceed 50v as this will damage the device and will render the warranty void.

• We recommend the following two charging scheme s using RED-E solar panels:

Scheme one

**

**Scheme two

Car Charging

• Connect the car charging port to the power station XT90 port.
• Connect the other end of the car charging cable to your car power source such as a cigarete lighter. The connection method is shown in the picture below.

This product supports 12V/24V car charger charging, please note the following when car charging:

• Only charge the device through your car when it is running, otherwise it may discharge your car battery.
  Vehicle charging power is usually in the range of 90W-120W, and it can take up to 15 hours to charge the power station. If fast charging is required, the AC mains charging is recommended.
