CONTAMINANTS IN THE METHANOL ATTENTION The original QE CHARGE methanol cartridges contain methanol approved by Siqens for the Ecoport. Contaminants or foreign com- ponents in the methanol can cause irreversible damage to the unit and may void the warranty or guarantee.
Ecoport 800 Safe battery handling It is imperative that another person is present, in case of emergen- NOTICE cies, when working on the batteries. These instructions must be observed in addition to the instructions of the battery manufactu- rer. ACID BURN HAZARD DANGER Keep soap and water ready in case battery acid contacts skin.

Safety Information Only use cycle-resistant, deep-discharge capable batteries, no WARNINGS starter batteries. Never charge frozen batteries. Avoid battery short-circuits. Ensure good ventilation of the battery to dissipate any gases. Carefully lay the battery connection cable and check for improper heating under load. Periodically check the battery in the area of vibrating components for chafing and insulation problems.

First Installation Connect the Battery to the Ecoport Connect the battery to the Ecoport battery port using the load cable. Nominal battery voltage: 24 V; supported battery types: lithium, lead acid, lead AGM, lead gel IMPORTANT: When connecting the cables, be aware of the polarity! The Ecoport can only operate with a battery.

Ecoport 800 Connect Control Panel to the Ecoport Use the data cable to connect the operating panel with the Ecoport 800.
Page 22
First Installation Automatic Connection between the Control Panel and the Ecoport The connection to the Ecoport 800 will be established. A user input is not necessary.
Page 23
Ecoport 800 Start-up Screen The following settings must be implemented to ensure a safe operation of the Ecoport 800.
Page 24
First Installation Select Turn-on Criteria The type of start signal can be configured using the settings menu. You can choose between “Only manual”, “Battery threshold”, “External input”. When choosing “Battery threshold”, the battery type and the turn-on threshold need to be defined. When choosing “External input” no additional settings are required..
Ecoport 800 Battery Selection The battery type can be changed in the settings menu. Select the desired battery type using the arrows. (Supported battery types: Lithium, lead acid, lead AGM, lead gel)
First Installation Adjust Turn-on Voltage IMPORTANT NOTICE The Ecoport starts once the set lower voltage threshold is reached. This should not be too low, since to start the system approx. 100Wh are needed. To prevent damage to the battery, the Ecoport shuts off at a battery voltage of 23.0 V. Charging the battery with the Ecoport is then no longer possible.
