5 Solución de problemas

Esta sección aborda problemas comúns e as súas posibles solucións.

• A unidade non está a cargar:
  • Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the unit and the power source.
  • Verify the power source is active and providing power.
  • Check the PV switch for solar input; ensure it is in the 'ON' position.
  • If using solar panels, ensure they are receiving adequate sunlight and are correctly oriented.
• Error Codes (e.g., Code 6 - Overload, Code 4 - Charge Level Too High):
  • Code 6 (Overload): Disconnect some devices to reduce the output load. The unit's output capacity is 7200W (14400W peak/dual units).
  • Code 4 (Charge Level Too High): This may occur if the unit attempts to charge beyond its set maximum (e.g., 85%). Check settings in the Jackery App.
  • If error codes persist, try updating the unit's firmware via the Jackery App.
• Battery Drain in UPS Mode:
  • In UPS mode, the unit may consume a constant 50 watts, leading to faster battery drain. This is normal operation for maintaining readiness.
  • Consider using 'Backup Only' mode if continuous UPS functionality is not required, as this reduces idle power consumption. Note that 'Backup Only' mode may have a 5-second delay during power transfer.
• Problemas de conectividade da aplicación:
  • Ensure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your mobile device and the power station.
  • Restart the Jackery App and/or the power station.
