HOW TO USE THE POWER STATION

Starting the Explorer 1500

Power

LCD Screen Button
Press the power button to check the remaining battery.

AC/ DC /USB Button
Turn on each output by pressing its power button. When an output type is not in use, it is important to turn it off to save battery power.

Power Level Percentage
When the remaining power is at 20%, the “20%” icon, as well as the low battery icon will light up on the display screen for 30 seconds. If the display is set to be on for more than 30 seconds, the icons will always be on. When the remaining power is at 5%, the “5%” icon, as well as the low battery icon will light up on the display screen the whole time. If the product is being recharged in a low battery condition, the remaining power will increase to the normal display condition.

Output Power (W)
Before turning the power on, ensure total power consumption does not exceed 1800W.lf the Jackery Explorer total output exceeds 1800W, it will shut off.

Display
The normal Auto-Power-Off-Display time frame is 30 seconds. If you would like to set the display on more than 30 seconds, please double press the DISPLAY button. The other way around, if you would like to reset back to the normal time frame, just simply press once the DISPLAY button.

Low & High Temperature Alarm
The ElS00 can power your devices in temperatures ranging from -10~40 °c (14~ 104 °F). If your working temperature is outside this range, the unit may stop working. The ElS00 should be recharged in ambient temperatures between 0~40 °c (32~ 104 °F).

Time reminder
The remaining power time of both charging and recharging is displayed with only has two digits – up to 99 hours. When the remaining power time is less than 99 hours, it will be displayed as it is. This can also be used as the remaining power countdown method.

Low Power Mode
Press the AC SWITCH and DISPLAY button together the same time to turn on the Low Power Mode for reducing power consumption. On the right side, above the battery power percentage display, a small icon will light up.

If there is no need to use the Low Power Mode, it can be turned off by pressing the AC SWITCH to avoid power waste.

Other

Fan Operating Principle
When the AC power is turned on, the fan will not automatically run. The ElS00 uses an intelligent temperature control that only uses the fan when needed to cool the unit.

How to reset the Explorer 1500
Please hold the display power button and USB button simultaneously for at least 13 seconds to reset the battery.

When does the power station need to be reset?
If the power station is not working correctly, resetting the battery is the first troubleshooting step and may solve the problem.

GIVE YOUR APPLIANCES MORE RUN TIME

Note: The running time of the ElSOO for the following equipment was tested in the laboratory, which has strict controls on temperature. The working hours can also be affected by many other factors. The actual working time = 1534.68Wh* 0.85 / operating power of your device in watts.

Charging

For inductive load devices:

• What is the inductive load device?
  Inductive loads are found in devices like motors, solenoids, contactor coils, compressors, and speakers. When turned on, the device’s current lags behind the voltage. This causes a large spike in power.

• An inductive load will use up to 3X its normal power usage when it starts.

• When checking to see if the ElSOO can run a device, check to see if it has an instant start power rating.

Troubleshooting

If there is a problem when using the AC charger cable or DC car charging cable:

• Check if the charger cable and the power station are reliably connected and if the charger indicator light is on.
• Make sure you are using the correct Jackery charging cable.
• Check to see if the charging indicator is on and the charging power is shown on the display.
• If the AC cable is not working, try using the car charging cable to see if the power station will charge. This troubleshooting is also fit for DC input failure.

Using Jackery solar panel to charge the ElS00:

• Check all connections are secure.
• Use the provided AC charger to see if the power station will charge.
• Use a soft cloth to clean the dust and dirt off of the solar panel.
• Test the solar panel under bright sunlight at midday. Ensure there are no shadows cast on the panel. Plugin and unplug the panel several times.

Using other brand solar panel to charge the ElS00:

• Check all connections are secure.
• Use the provided AC charger to see if the power station will charge.
• Use a soft cloth to clean the dust and dirt off of the solar panel
• Test the solar panel under bright sunlight at midday. Ensure there are no shadows cast on the panel. Plugin and unplug the panel several times.

If ElS00 can be recharged by the AC charger and not the solar panel, there is probably nothing wrong with the ElS00. The solar panel may be the issue.

Problem with Output (AC/DC/USB)
When the power station has something wrong with the AC/DC/USB output, please hold the display power button and USB button simultaneously for at least 13 seconds to reset the battery.

Problem With LCD Screen
Hold the display power button and USB button simultaneously for at least 13 seconds to reset the battery.

FAQ

• Ql: What devices can Explorer 1500 power?
  A: The AC output port can charge/power devices that operate at less than 1800 watts.

• Q2: Can the Explorer 1500 be charged while using?
  A: Yes, the Explorer 1500 supports pass-through charging. But we don’t suggest it because doing so will cause damage to battery life.

• Q3: Can the E1500 be used as UPS?
  A: No, the El500 can’t be used as UPS. You need to press the power button to turn on the AC/USB /DC output. Therefore it can’t turn on and off automatically.

• Q4: How to know the working times for my device?
  A: Working time = 1534.68Wh* 0.85 / operating power of your device (watts).

• Q5: Does the Explorer 1500 include a built-in MPPT controller?
  A: All Jackery power stations have a built-in MPPT controller.

• Q6: How do I know the Explorer 1500 is charged?
  A: To check the charge level of the Explorer 1500, refer to the LCD Battery Display.

• Q7: Can I keep this charged up by keeping it plugged in all the time in case of power outage?
  A: Yes, you can keep the battery plugged in to charge. Keeping it plugged in won’t cause damage to the battery.

• QB: Can I use it indoors?
  A: Yes, the Explorer 1500 is safe to use indoors.

• Q9: Why does it take so long to charge the power station from 99% to 100%?
  A: When the battery is low, the charging power is greater, so the battery charges faster. As the battery reaches a higher and higher charge, the difference between the charging voltage and the battery voltage becomes closer. This means the battery will charge at a slower and slower rate as it approaches 100%.
