Frequently Asked Questions - EP600 BLUETTI

Why can't I connect to the EP600 via Bluetooth?

Check that the IoT module is correctly installed and working (the top LED should be solid, the two bottom LEDs should blink alternately). Make sure Bluetooth is enabled in the BLUETTI app and on your phone, and that the app has location permission.

Why can't I connect to the EP600 remotely?

Check that the IoT module is correctly installed and Wi-Fi is configured (the two bottom LEDs blink). Make sure the Wi-Fi password is correct and the network is on the 2.4 GHz band. WPA/WPA2_PSK encryption is recommended.

Why is there no output on the backup (UPS) side?

Enable the AC On option in the BLUETTI app. If the battery is empty and grid power and PV are not connected, the output automatically stops.

How long does it take to start up the EP600 system?

Startup may take up to 3 minutes depending on the method used. Please wait after powering on.

Can I connect solar panels over 6 kWp to the EP600?

Yes, as long as the open circuit voltage of each string is between 150 V and 550 V. However, the total PV input power is limited to 6000 W (3000 W per input) and the current is automatically limited to 12.5 A per MPPT tracker.

Does the EP600 allow simultaneous charging and discharging?

Yes, the EP600 can charge the battery from PV or grid while discharging to power loads, according to the energy management logic.

Can household appliances be powered by solar panels while the batteries are charging?

Yes, PV powers household appliances first. Extra energy charges the battery. If the battery is full, the excess can be sent to the grid if the function is enabled in the app.

What logic does the EP600 use to allocate energy between PV, battery, and grid?

PV is used first to power loads. If PV power is insufficient, the battery supplements. If both are insufficient, the grid provides the balance. The order can be configured via the app.

How to configure solar panels for the EP600?

PV1 and PV2 inputs require panels with an open circuit voltage of 150-550 V, a maximum power of 3000 W per input, and MC4 connectors. Use appropriate cables and observe polarity.

Why is solar charging not working?

Check that the EP600 DC switch is ON, the solar panel connections are correct, and the app shows no PV error. Also ensure the panel voltage is within the allowed range.

4.3 Indicator Descriptions

Light Status	Meaning Remark
OFF B500 not start		The circuit breaker can be operated now
ON	B500 is operating	The circuit breaker can't be operated now
0.5Hz Flash	B500 is shutting down	The circuit breaker can't be operated now
1Hz Flash	B500 is not operating	If all B500 are flashing, it means that the B500 is temporarily unavailable and is restoring, please wait patiently. If it lasts for more than 1 hour, contact the authorized dealer or our company.If a single B500 flashes, it means the B500 is in fault status. Please contact the authorized dealer or our company immediately.

4.4 Product Maintenance

If you find battery packs connected in parallel, and some of the battery pack indicators are off, please contact the authorized dealer or our company immediately.

If you find the B500 battery pack is in a faulty state, please contact the authorized dealer or our company immediately.

If you find the B500 battery pack is temporarily unable to work and is restoring, please wait patiently. If it lasts for more than 1 hour, contact the authorized dealer or our company immediately.

The circuit breaker automatically turns “OFF”, which means the system is failure. The user are forbidden to operate currently, must be handled by the after-sales service, must contact the dealer or the manufacturer.

Do not disconnect the circuit breaker when the B500 battery pack is in normalservice state. Otherwise it may cause the B500 battery pack abnormal work .

Do not remove the metal shell of the B500 battery pack under any circumstances. Otherwise, it may cause electric shock and explosion.

5.System Check

5.1 Preliminary Check

Check the followings before first use.

• Confirm that all components of the system are installed according to specific requirements.
• Make sure the PV+/PV- and BAT+ and BAT- cables are connected with correct polarity and proper voltage.
• Switch off all AC and DC circuit breakers.
• Circuit breakers should be selected according to the requirements of this manual and local regulations.
• Make sure grid and load cables are held firmly in place.
• All safety signs and warning labels shall be firmly attached and clearly visible when needed.

5.2 Power On

Step1: Switch on the DC circuit breakers on EP600.

Step2: Switch on the DC circuit breakers on B500 battery packs. Press and hold the power button of any battery pack for 3 seconds and the green indicator on the button lights up.

Step3: Wait for 40 seconds until the green indicator of the inverter is always on.

Step4: Switch on the AC circuit breakers connected to the EP600 grid port.

Step5: Power on the system via the BLUETTI app. For details, please refer to Setting section on App Manual.

Step6: Check the voltage of BACKUP.

10. Appendix

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: Why can't I connect to the Ep600 via Bluetooth?

A1: 1) Check whether the IOT module is installed correctly and whether it works well (The top light is always on, the bottom two lights flash alternately).
2) Check whether Bluetooth permission in APP is allowed.
3) Check whether the Bluetooth function is turned on in the phone.
4) Check whether the app has obtained permission for the location of the phone.

Q2: Why can't I connect to the Ep600 remotely?

A2: 1) Check whether the IOT module is installed correctly and whether it works well (When WIFI network is configured, the bottom two lights flash alternately).
2) Make sure the EP600 is configured with WIFI.
3) Check that the password is entered correctly and that it meets the character requirements set by our app.
4) Check if the WIFI is in the 2.4G band.

Q3: Why is there no output on the backup side?

A3: 1) For backup application, "AC ON" on the App must be turned on.
2) If the battery is empty and if the utility power and PV are not connected, the output will automatically switch off.

Q4: How long does it take to start up an EP600 energy storage system?

A4: Different power-up methods may cause slight variations in the boot-up time, the maximum duration is less than 3 minutes, please be patient.

Q5: If the customer has solar panels over 6kWp, for example a 12kWp PV array on roof, can they be connected to the PV input ports of the EP600? Can the EP600 be adjusted to automatically regulate the input current?

A5: The EP600 can be connected to a customer's solar array as long as the open-circuit voltage value is between 150 V and 550V, but the EP600 can only accept up to total 6000 W for both of two PV input(each 3 kw). Yes, the EP600 automatically adjusts the current and limits the maximum current to 12.5A.

Q6: Does the EP600 support simultaneous charging and discharging?

A6: Sure, the EP600 can charge and discharge at the same time.

Q7: If home appliance could be powered by the solar PV panels while they are charging the batteries?

A7: Yes, the PV takes priority to run home appliance and extra energy for charging the battery, when the battery is charged, the energy generated by solar panel can be fed to the grid if the function of feeding to the grid on the APP is permitted.

Q8: What is the logic of the EP600 run the home appliance? When there is a shortage of solar power, is the energy from the PV used first and then from the grid?

A8: Firstly, the power generated by the PV is given priority to run the home appliance. When the PV is not sufficient to meet the power demand of the appliance, the PV and the battery inverter will run the home appliance together; if the PV and the battery inverter still cannot meet the power demand of the load; then the shortage of power will be made up by the grid.

Q9: How to configure the solar panels to charge this product?

A9: As long as the specs of solar panels on PV1 or PV2 input satisfied following:

Open circuit voltage : 150V-550V

Input Power: 6000W Max(3000W each set).

With the same power connector (MC4)

Q10: Why charge failed with the solar panels?

A10: Please follow steps below:

i) Make sure the DC switch of EP600 has been turn to "ON".

ii) Check the connection of solar panels and the PV input cable.

iii) Check if any abnormal information about PV is reported on the APP

Q11: How to upgrade the firmware?

A11: Refer to the APP user manual.

Q12: Why does the battery pack's circuit breaker automatically trigger and switch off the power?

A12: If a circuit breaker triggers itself on the B500, please do not turn it on manually by yourself, please contact BLUETTI Technical Support for a solution.
