We observed the field of EP250215A (Fermi GCN 39327; EP GCN 39329) using the Sun Yat-sen University 80cm infrared telescope with 180 x 20 s exposures in J band. The calculated position is RA. = 156.3301 deg, DEC =-27.6997 deg J2000, from EP/FXT observation. Our observations began at 2025-2-15 17:52:00 UTC, 11.39 hours after the EP trigger.

We do not detect any counterpart at the position of the optical afterglow(Liu et al. GCN 39330; Xie et al., GCN 39333; Malesani et al., GCN 39339; and Malesani et al. GCN 39341; R. Sanchez-Ramirez et al. GCN 39343; Jean-Grégoire Ducoin (CPPM) et al. GCN 39344; I. Pérez-Fournon et al. GCN 39348; R.Ruffini et al. GCN 39366;  D.Svinkin et al. GCN 39375), down to a 5-sigma depth of J~17.5 Vega magnitudes.
