Connecting the Grid Conductors

Connecting the Generator Conductors

Connecting Communications
Cables (If Needed)
For Ethernet connection, plug a CAT6, T568B straight-through cable to the Ethernet port.

Checking Connection
Before installing the defrost cover and glass door, check the following connection items.

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.

• 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

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 multifunction.

• 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.

Using Interlock

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.

CAUTION
Two knobs must be turned for switching.

Connecting With Battery Storage

NOTICE

• If you only connect 1 EcoFlow DELTA Pro, DELTA Pro will undergo charging, but not discharging.
• If you connect both EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra and DELTA Pro, both of them will undergo both charging and discharging.
