Communications Installation and Setup Instructions
1. A standard ethernet cable can be used for communication.
2. Set the DIP switch according to the battery manual. Switch 1 and 5 must be on. See the diagram below
for the configuration of the master battery.
3. Connect the cable to the “CAN” port on the PYTES V5° battery and the “Battery CAN Bus” port (or the
“CAN” port for indoor-only units) on the Sol-Ark.
4. Program the inverter with the appropriate charge/discharge settings according to the specific battery
manual and cable arrangement.
5. Enable “BMS Lithium Batt” and set its value to “00”.
6. (Optional) Turn on “BMS_Err_Stop” if you want the system to fault on the loss of battery
communications (PYTES recommends leaving on “BMS_Err_Stop” to protect their batteries better).
Note: The same process applies to the Pytes E-BOX-48100R.
