SAFETY AND HAZARD NOTES

(PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE USE)
To avoid danger to life and limb and to prevent damage to the appliance, please observe the following instructions before using the product.

• Please read this manual carefully to ensure proper use of the Power Station and to familiarise yourself with the use of the unit and the power supply.
• Keep the Power Station out of the reach of children and store it in a safe place.
• As there may be a voltage of up to 250V inside the Powerstation, never open the unit, there is a risk of electric shock.
• As this appliance generates a voltage similar to that of a household socket, you must handle it with great care and caution to avoid life-threatening electric shock.
• Keep the appliance away from heat sources or fire.
• Do not use the unit in the rain, do not expose it to water or strong humidity.
• Do not place any objects on the unit.
• Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered during operation, do not insert any objects into the slots.
• Avoid bumping against the unit or dropping it.
• Do not use the unit if it is externally damaged.
• The power station may only be charged with the supplied mains adapters.
• Short circuits can occur at the output sockets through contact with metallic objects, this must be avoided at all costs, if a short circuit occurs, the causes must be eliminated.
• The power station must not be charged in ambient temperatures below 0°C as this may damage the lithium battery inside.
• Charge the unit every 3 months if it will not be used for a long period of time to avoid deep discharge and possible damage.
• The seller or the manufacturer are not responsible for any damage to the unit or your equipment caused by improper use of the Power Station.
• This manual must always be kept together with the product, please do not throw the manual away, always pass the unit on only together with the manual, this manual must also be given with the product when it is sold.

WARNING! The Power Station must never be used as a mains replacement or feedin source for existing electrical systems (e.g. in mobile homes, caravans, mobile homes or houses). Plug the mains plug of the intended consumer (terminal devices) directly into the mains socket of the power station, do not use multiple sockets. Non-observance can lead to non-functioning of the protective measures against shutdown in the event of a fault and thus to danger to life and limb.

After switching on, lightly press DC switch, switch the real-time battery percentage/battery real-time voltage mode. Press and hold DC switch for 1 second to turn off USB and 12V output.

3. AC switch: After switching on, press and hold the AC switch for 1 second, the AC output is switched on, at the same time the LCD screen shows the percentage of battery capacity / battery voltage, AC discharge time (H), AC discharge power, percentage of AC output power „AC OUT“ icon (shown as Display_2). After the AC output is switched on, press the AC switch lightly to switch the mode AC discharge power + AC discharge time / AC discharge voltage + PF value (see picture Display_3). Press and hold the AC switch for 1 second, the AC output switches off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS

To ensure safe transportation, the power station is not fully charged, please fully charge the power station before use. If you want a quick charge, please use our standard original mains adapter for charging, or use a 36V 200~300W solar panel for charging. To ensure safety, please use only our standard charger. Please disconnect the charger when the Power Station is fully charged.
4.1 USE OF THE AC OUTPUTS
Please observe the following instructions before use:

1. Make sure that the input voltage and frequency of the consumer matches the BPS1000 & BPS1500.
2. Make sure that the rated power of the consumer is below 1000W (BPS1000) / 1500W (BPS1500), it is better if the rated power does not exceed 80%.

• Failure to do so may damage the power station or cause it to shut down.

• If the power of your connected load is higher than 1000W (BPS1000) / 1500W (BPS1500), please choose another power station with higher power.
  Note: Some appliances, when switched on, have a much higher power than the rated power, e.g. the starting current of appliances with inductive load is usually 3-8 times higher than the rated power, the starting power of energy saving lamps is dozens of times higher than their rated power. If the starting power is higher than the peak power of the Powerstation, the overload protection triggers and switches off the Powerstation.
  The Power Station is equipped with overload, short-circuit and overtemperature protection. If the following conditions are met, the power station switches off the sockets:

  • If the load power of the unit is higher than the rated power of the power station
  • If there is a short circuit in the connected load
  • If the temperature in the unit is too high
  • If the battery voltage is too low

4.2 FUNCTIONALITY
Step 1: Lightly press „ON/OFF“ after the unit is switched on, press and hold „AC ON/OFF“ for 1 second to switch on the AC output. Step 2: Check that the input voltage and frequency of the load match the power station.
Step 3: Check the load power and make sure it does not exceed the max. power of the power station.
Step 4: Connect the unit to this socket and switch on the load switch.
Step 5: After using the power station, lightly press the ON/OFF button to switch off.
Step 6: When the capacity is used up or the remaining capacity is too low, recharge the power station for the next use. 4.3 CHARGING THE POWERSTATION
You can use the following methods to charge the Powerstation:

1. use the standard mains adapter, to do this connect the mains cable to the adapter, on the other side connect the DC plug to the input charging socket of the  owerstation, then plug the 230V mains plug into a 230V household socket.
   

2. charging with the car charging cable: after you have started the car, plug the 12V connector into the 12V socket of the car, the other side connects to the input connector of the powerstation.

3. solar charging – if you use a solar panel to charge the Powerstation, connect the supplied adapter cable to the solar cable of the solar panel, then connect the other side of the adapter to the input connector of the Powerstation (please make sure that the maximum voltage of the solar panel is not more than 40V and the minimum voltage is not less than 29.4V).

Note:

1. our standard power bank can only be used in our power station, please do not use it on other devices and keep it away from rain.
2. when using car charging and solar charging, please make sure the positive and negative connections are correct.
3. if the portable power station is not used for a long time, the built-in battery will discharge and may be damaged. Therefore, please charge the power station every 3 months.

4.4 USE OF THE DC 12V OUTPUTS AND THE USB OUTPUTS

DC output 16MF double pole plug, press the DC switch for 1 second, turn on DC 12V output, its rated current is 10A, press the DC switch again for 1 second, the DC  output turns off.

USB outputs, press the DC switch for 1 second, USB outputs are switched on, press the DC switch again for1 second to switch off the USB outputs.
