No.

|

Check Item

---|---

1

|

Confirm that all connections are correct, properly grounded, and secure.

2

|

Confirm that all screws are tightened.

3

|

Use a multimeter in continuity setting to make sure that the hot wire is not short circuited to neutral.

4

|

Use a multimeter in continuity setting to make sure that the hot wire is not short circuited to ground.

 Completing  Installation

Installing
the Interlock

Install the interlock onto the panel before installing the deadfront cover.

Switch it UP before installing the deadfront cover

Installing the

Deadfront Cover

Remove twist-outs for home loads. If you connect with a generator, remove the twist-out for the generator main circuit breaker. Fill any unused open spaces on the cover.

Installing the
Glass Door

Slide down the glass door onto the hinges.

Energizing WARNING • Before energizing, ensure that main and branch circuit breakers are in the OFF position.

To energize, first turn ON the main breaker, and then turn ON each individual branch circuit breaker.

SHP2 starts self-test. Check the LED indicator, the grid indicator should be white and always on, the error indicator is off. please view the error description and eliminate it in the EcoFlow app.

Internet and

Initialization Setup

Connecting And Using  Generator

Connecting

a Generator

WARNING
• If the generator has a bonded neutral, you should remove the ground- neutral bond from the  generator. Otherwise, GFCI/AFCI will malfunction.

Install an inlet box between the generator and the panel. To connect with a generator, see “Connecting the Generator Conductors”. To install the interlock, see “Installing the Interlock”.

Remove the twin-out for generator main breaker.

NOTICE
• After connecting the generator and turning on the power, it takes 25s for the house to get  electricity.

Switch up for grid supply or switch down for generator supply.

When on grid supply, you can only turn on/off the main circuit breaker (grid).

When on generator supply, you can only turn on/off the main circuit breaker (generator).

Manually Switching

Grid Supply And Backup

If you fail to switch between grid supply and backup power using the EcoFlow app, you can manually turn the both relay switching knobs in the  distribution panel. However, only qualified electrical personnel should perform this manual switch.

Switch to grid supply Switch to backup power

CAUTION
• Two knobs must be turned for switching.

Connecting With

Battery Storage

• If you only connect 1 EcoFlow DELTA Pro, DELTA Pro will undergo charging, but not  NOTICE discharging.

• If you connect both EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra and DELTA Pro, both of them will undergo both charging and discharging.
