Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Place on stable, dry surface.

Initial Charge: Connect included AC adapter to wall outlet and SUNBIRD P100.
Positioning: Ensure unit is in well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Solar Panel Setup: Connect compatible solar panels to solar input port (MC4 to XT60 adapter may be required).
Device Connections: Connect devices to appropriate outputs based on power requirements.

WARNING! Do not expose to water or extreme temperatures. Keep away from flammable materials.

First-Time Setup

Power on unit; monitor LCD display.

Initial Charge: Charge fully via AC before first use (LCD shows 100%).
Display Settings: Press POWER button to turn on; LCD shows battery percentage and output status.
Output Configuration: Use MODE button to switch between AC, DC, and USB output modes.
Battery Calibration: After 10 full cycles, perform full discharge/charge for accurate battery reading.

CAUTION! First charge may take longer. Do not interrupt initial charging cycle.

Access settings via buttons and LCD display. Front Panel: POWER, MODE, LCD display, USB ports, DC outputs.

Side Panel: AC outlets, AC input, Solar input, Car charging input.

LCD Display: Shows battery percentage, input/output power in watts, estimated runtime, temperature warnings. Settings: Press and hold MODE for 3 seconds to enter settings menu for brightness, auto-shutdown timer (1-24 hours), overload protection threshold. Battery Management System (BMS): Built-in protection for overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, over-temperature.

Connecting Devices

AC Devices: Plug into AC outlets (max 1000W total). USB Devices: Connect phones, tablets to USB-A or USB-C. DC Devices: Use 12V car socket or DC5521 ports for coolers, lights, etc.

Check device power requirements (watts/amps).
Ensure total load does not exceed 1000W for AC, 10A per DC port.
Turn on SUNBIRD P100 first, then connect devices.
Select correct output mode if needed (MODE button).

Tip: For sensitive electronics, use pure sine wave AC outlets for clean power.

Solar Charging

Supports solar panel input up to 500W.

Panel Compatibility: Use solar panels with 11-60V DC open circuit voltage.
Connection: Connect solar panel MC4 cables to adapter, then to solar input port.
Monitoring: LCD shows solar input power and charging status.
Optimal Conditions: Direct sunlight, panels facing sun, clean panel surfaces.
Parallel Connection: For multiple panels, connect in parallel (voltage stays same, current adds).
Safety: Disconnect solar panels before maintenance or during storms.

WARNING! Do not exceed 500W solar input. Use proper gauge cables to prevent overheating.

Safety Features

Overload Protection: Automatically shuts off output if exceeds 1000W. Short Circuit Protection: Detects and cuts power. Temperature Control: Fans activate during high load; shuts down if overheated. Low Voltage Protection: Turns off at 20% battery to prevent damage.

Care & Maintenance

Store in cool, dry place. Clean with dry cloth; do not use liquids. For long storage, charge to 60% and store at room temperature. Check connections periodically for corrosion.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble; no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact support for battery replacement.
