Product Features
Automatic Tracking
Power-on:
After the product is started, it will enter automatic tracking mode. If the tilt angle is greater than 10° when started, it will automatically return to the zero position to calibrate the angle.
Searching sunlight:
When the light intensity is greater than 30,000 lux, the product will automatically enter the searching mode.
Tracking sunlight:
When the light intensity is greater than 50,000 lux, the product enters the tracking mode and automatically adjusts to the optimal tilt angle. When the difference value between the optimal angle and the current angle is small, frequent adjustment will cause unnecessary power loss. You can choose whether to maintain the current angle in the pop-up window in EcoFlow app .
Sleep
When the light intensity remains less than or equal to 30,000 lux for 5 minutes, the product will automatically retract and enter the sleep mode. After the light intensity becomes greater than 30,000 lux (lasting for 5 seconds), the product will enter the search mode again. You can also control the tilt angle of the product by pressing the buttons.
Charging Method
The product is shipped with a certain amount of electricity by default. After connecting to the solar panel, the control box can be recharged continuously. In a fully charged state, the battery life of the product is around 3 days. In the case of rain, snow, typhoon weather or other conditions where the solar panel cannot supply power stably and the battery is too low, it can be recharged through the USB-C port at the bottom of the control box.
