Communications Installation and Setup Instructions
Custom RJ45 cable
No custom cable is needed.
Battery IDs and connections
1. Connect all batteries together with the provided RJ45 cables using the “Battery-Comm” ports. Either
port can be used for each battery. Up to 15 batteries can be connected in parallel.
2. Set the DIP switches such that the battery communicating with the inverter is set as ID 1, and each unit
behind it increases the follower ID by 1.
Note: Skip ID 2 (0010).
• Each DIP switch (1-4) represents a bit in the follower ID value, from right to left. For example: 13
(decimal) =1101 binary = [1: UP, 2: UP, 3: DOWN, 4: UP].
• Decimal counting from 0 to 15 in binary format as a 4-bit nibble (half byte):
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 dec
0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 binary
