ATTENTION!
This manual is designed to help you use the product correctly; it does not include any hardware descriptions or software configuration details. If more product configuration information is required, please contact services@rocksolars.com. Pictures in this manual are for reference only, and may not be an exact replica of the product itself.

Modified Sine Wave Output
The unit provides Modified Sine Wave output, and is compatible with AC electric appliances that work with Sinusoidal waveform (power <100W).However, devices using an AC motor will not work at full capacity on a modified sine wave. For example, an electrical fan may emit some noise using Modified Sine Wave Output. It is recommended that appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, compressors and medical devices that use AC motors use a pure sine wave inverter. This product is intended for short-term and emergency use and cannot replace normal alternating current for long-term use. Please adapt the power station to the specifications required by your electronics. Number of device charges and run times will vary depending on the make, model and use of devices.

PRODUCT INSTRUCTION

  1. How to power for DC12V appliances (head lamp, fan, etc.) with this product:
    Plug your devices into the DC output port and press the power switch button to gain power. DC output rated Current: 10A , Max output Current<15A. Note: Confirm that your DC12V appliance supports charging with 5.5mm DC header interface (the diameter of the DC Port of the product is: 5.5mm). If not, an adapter may be necessary to connect with the DC output correctly. Please consult the electrical manufacturer to purchase the necessary adapter if needed.ROCKSOLAR-RS328-Portable-Power-Station-FIG-3

WARNING!

Note: The DC output voltage ranges between 9V~12.6V with a maximum output current of 15A. DC output voltage drops or increases while battery capacity drops or increases due to chemical characteristics of the battery. If your appliance does not have built-in input voltage stabilizing function, it may shutdown when input voltage is too low or too high. If your 12V devices cannot work due to high input voltage, please read the device manual or consult the device manufacturer to get the input voltage range of your device.

Protection Mode:
Short-circuit/Overpower Protection: If the DC output is short-circuited or over powered (Load(s) power>150W), the unit will shutdown to protect itself. Please clear the problem and recharge the unit to recover from protection mode. How to provide power for AC appliances with this product: Connect the power cable plug of the electrical appliance to the AC outlet of the product, switch on the power button and the unit will start providing power to your appliances.

WARNING!
AC outlets, voltage and frequency are different in different countries. Please carefully check whether the product specifications are consistent with the appliance specifications before use to avoid malfunction.ROCKSOLAR-RS328

When the AC port is not in use, turn it off to conserve power.

Protection Mode:
Short-circuit/Overpower Protection: If the AC output is short-circuited or overpowered (load(s) power>80W), the unit will shutdown AC output to protect itself. Please unplug the device and press the AC output button to switch on the AC output again. Some devices, such as refrigerator, ice maker or a laser printer may require a surge protector, as the power surge could exceed 120W or even higher causing strain on the overpower protection of this unit. Please remove the devices and consult with the device manufacturers for more information. Please clear the problem and re-press the AC button for AC output.

How to provide power for USB & USB-C digital devices with this product:
Connect the standard USB cable of the device to the unit’s USB output, press the to turn on USB output. Note: Some smart devices, such as Bluetooth headphones and LED lights require very small input current to charge, which could be less than 150mA. The unit may fail to charge these kinds of smart devices due to detection current limitation by the USB output ports. In this case, the user can press the AC button “ ” to keep the USB port output running. Please turn off AC output when the smart-devices are fully charged to save power.

Quick Charge Output: This product supports Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 and USB-C PD (Power Delivery) 2.0 Output, support: 5V/3A,9V/2A,12V / 1.5A 18W, the max output for smart-devices, which also supports Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 or USB PD2.0 Protocol. The actual output voltage and current depends on the individual smart-devices, which can be obtained by consulting the smart-device manufacturer.ROCKSOLAR-RS328-Portable-Power-Station-
