IoT Controller
6.6.5 Communication Cable
Step1
To achieve communication between two B500 battery packs, a communication
cable is required. Plug one end of the cable to the B500 Link-in port, and the other
to the upper B500’s Link-out port. See Fig. 6-11 “”.
Step2
For communication between the EP800 inverter and B500 battery packs, plug one
end of the communication cable to the top B500’s inverter signal port (To Pcs), and
the other to the Link Port 2 of the EP800 inverter. See Fig. 6-11 “”.
Step3
Connect the IoT controller to the EP800 inverter. See Fig. 6-11 “”.
Note: For how to integrate multiple B500s to the EP800, please refer to Fig. 6-8.
Figure 6-11
background
JUST POWER ON 57
Step 1: It is recommended to use 12AWG outdoor power cable for PV1 and 10AWG
outdoor power cable for PV2. Disconnect the cable connector from the EP800
positive and negative connectors. (You’re strongly recommend to distinguish the
positive and negative connectors with different colors.)
Step 2: Use wire strippers to peel off the insulation layer of the positive and negative
power cables. For the specific stripping length, refer to Fig. 6-12-1.
Step 3: Insert the positive and negative power cables into the positive and negative
metal terminals separately. Crimp them tightly to ensure that the cable can not be
pulled out. See Fig. 6-12-2.
Step 4: Insert the crimped positive and negative power cables through the locking
nut and into the corresponding plastic housing until you hear a click, which
indicates that the metal core has been snapped into place, and then tighten the
locking nut. See Fig. 6-12-3 and Fig. 6-12-4.

Why aren't the devices connected to the BACKUP side receiving any power?
Please follow these self-check steps first:
1. Make sure you have turned on the System Switch in the App.
2. If the B500 batteries have run out of power and both the PV and Grid
switches are off, the system automatically disables the power output to protect
the batteries.
If the issue persists, please contact BLUETTI support for further assistance.
How long does it take to start the entire system?
Typically, it takes a maximum of 3 minutes to start the system. However, the
duration may vary depending on how you initiate the system. If you encounter
any issues or have any questions about using the EP800, please feel free to
contact BLUETTI support.
Can I connect a 12kWp solar system to the EP800, even if it exceeds the PV
input power? Will the EP800 automatically adjust the PV input current?
Whether you can connect a 12kWp solar system to the EP800 depends on the
voltage of your solar setup. The EP800 can work with solar systems that have an
open-circuit voltage ranging from 150V to 500V. It's able to accommodate two
PV inputs, with a total power of 9,000W (3kW for PV1 and 6kW for PV2). The
EP800 can automatically adjust the input current to stay within these limits,
but it won't exceed 12.5A for PV1 and 25A for PV2.
Can it charge and discharge at the same time?
Yes. The EP800 supports pass-through charging.
Can my household appliances be powered by solar panels while they are
charging the battery?
Yes, in the "Self-consumption" mode, the EP800 prioritizes solar power for
running household appliances, and any extra energy is used to charge the
battery.
How does the EP800 power my household appliances? Does it use solar power
first and then switch to grid power when needed?
You can configure the EP800 to operate in "Self-consumption" mode. In this
mode, the EP800 prioritizes solar energy for running household appliances. If
there's not enough solar power available, the EP800 combines it with stored
energy from the battery to power your appliances. Only if there's still not
enough power, it will draw electricity from the grid to meet your demand.

Without logging in and binding your EP800, you won't find the upgrade
option, even if connected to WiFi.
What if the B500 battery pack's circuit breaker automatically trips and cuts off
the power?
Please don't manually reset it, and contact BLUETTI support for assistance.
What should I do if the SoC readings seem to be inaccurate?
Please try these steps to address the issue:
1.Use the App to update to the latest software for the BMS.
2.Fully charge and discharge your EP800 twice.
This will help recalibrate the system and restore accurate SoC readings.
Why doesn't the App show the load power?
The App is designed to display the load power only when it exceeds 100W for
each phase.
If I set the SoC low value to 5%, will the EP800 shut down due to overnight
self-discharge?
No, the EP800 can automatically recharge from the grid and maintain a
minimum SoC of 4% to ensure the system doesn't shut down.

What should I keep in mind when setting the charging and discharging time?
When setting the charging and discharging time, it's important to note the
following:
1. Arrange the time periods in chronological order, starting with the earliest and
ending with the latest.
2. Avoid time periods that span into the next day.
Why does the solar panel stop working when the battery is full, even if there are
devices using power?
This is completely normal. If there are fluctuations in the power usage while the
solar panel is charging the battery, it can temporarily stop to prevent overcharg-
ing. As soon as the battery's power level decreases while running devices, the
solar panel will automatically start working again.
How can I share access to the EP800 with others?
If you want to invite other BLUETTI App users to control the EP800, please
follow the steps below:
1.Open the App and go to Settings.
2.Select the Share Device option and generate the QR code.
3.Have others scan the QR code using the BLUETTI App.
Please note that the QR code is valid for 10 minutes and you can share access
with up to 5 accounts simultaneously.
How can I set the EP800 as a backup power source?
The EP800 is designed to operate in Backup UPS mode by default, providing a
reliable home backup power source that kicks in only when the grid fails.
To activate this mode, access the Settings menu, navigate to Working Mode,
and select the Backup mode.
How can I optimize solar energy usage and achieve energy self-sufficiency?
You can enable the Self-consumption mode on the EP800. In this mode, the
EP800 prioritizes direct consumption of solar energy for immediate household
needs and stores excess energy in the battery for later use. With such a strategy,
the EP800 ensures an efficient and reliable power supply, reducing reliance on
the grid and promoting energy independence.
To enable this mode, access the Settings menu, navigate to Working Mode, and
select the Self-consumption mode.

My utility provider offers a Time of Use (TOU) electricity tariff. How can I use the
EP800 to save on peak electricity costs?
You can configure the Time of Use mode to fit your specific needs. During the
charge period, the EP800 draws power from the grid, typically during off-peak
tariff hours when electricity rates are lower, to replenish its energy storage and
discharges during peak hours.
To set this mode, please follow the steps below:
1.Go to the Advanced Settings and turn on the Charge From Grid.
2.Go to the Settings menu, tap on Working Mode, and select Time of Use.
3.Tap on Manage Charge/Discharge Time and designate time periods with
lower electricity rates as Off-Peak and higher rate periods as Peak.
Note: A maximum of 6 time periods can be set, with the earliest as the first and
the latest as the last.
Can I power on the B500 unit separately by pressing its power button?
Yes, you can.
Can I charge the EP800 using a generator?
We recommend using a generator with a voltage greater than 240V and a
power greater than 5000W to charge the EP800.
Can I install the EP800 outdoors?
Absolutely, the EP800 is equipped with a NEMA 4X protection rating. However,
if you plan to install it in a location that is directly exposed to sunlight, it is
advisable to purchase a separate power shelter from BLUETTI's official website.
This will provide additional protection and ensure the EP800 operates safely,
reliably, and efficiently in all weather conditions.
