5. Installation SOP Checklist

No.
Before installation- Project information
Determine the installation location. The Smart Home Panel is rated to IP20,
1
therefore, it needs to be installed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and
moisture.
2
Determine the distance between the SHP and main electrical panel.
3
Confirm the number of loads to be connected to SHP. You can connect up to
10 single pole load circuits.
Determine whether the upstream circuit breakers of the selected loads
4
require AFCI or GFCI protection. This can be accomplished with an on-site
inspection or photo or video of the panel from the end user.
Determine and gather required materials. SHP can support up to 1 1/4 inch
conduit via five knockouts. Ensure that necessary adjustment factors (for
number of conductors) are accounted for and that wire ampacity is sized
appropriately. For longer runs it is recommended that you use separate
5
conduits for the input and output wires. For AFCI and GFCI breakers, an
additional standard overcurrent trip breaker is required. For circuits where
AFCI protection is required, metal conduit or whip to the SHP from the main
panel is required. An external AFCI enclosure (available from EcoFlow) to
house AFCI breakers is also required downstream of the SHP.
During installation - Circuit breaker and relay module
1
The current rating of relay module must match the upstream circuit breaker.
Failure to do so may cause overcurrent protection to fail.
2
The ampacity rating of wiring used should match the circuit current. Using an
undersized cable may cause overheating and even a fire.
3
All upstream breakers should be non-GFCI/AFCI. Any AFCI/GFCI breakers
need to be moved downstream of the SHP using an optional accessory box.
During installation - Wiring
1
Each load circuit AC input should be connected to the hot wire.
Install the relay modules in the corresponding places and secure by tightening
the screws. Failure to do so may cause the relay module to come loose, which
2
will produce an error and disconnection of the load channel, as well as risk
overheating and fire.
