VICTRON INVERTER SETTINGS
When installing a Victron system it is highly recommended to install a Hubble Cloudlink for communication between the inverter and the batteries.
The Cloudlink will enable the Victron Extended Protocol and can enable advanced settings like Dynamic Voltage charge control which is recommended on the Victron system.
Whilst you can install a Hubble direct with a Victron without a Cloudlink, you will get reduced CAN bus functionality.

3. GX SETUP
Enable DVCC is preferred.
This will allow the Victron to listen to the Hubble battery charge voltage instructions when using a Cloudlink.
All other settings can be disabled on this page.

When using the Hubble Cloudlink you will see the below screen Hubble Cloudlink (RIOT Cloudlink for older models) appear.
More details are displayed when going into the battery device.
The Cloudlink runs the Victron Extended Protocol and will enable the "Details" page for more information about the battery systems that are connected.

FREQUENTLY ASKED VICTRON QUESTIONS
Q: What cable do I need to connect my Hubble Lithium battery with a Victron Inverter?
A 1: For the Victron inverters to communicate with the Hubble Lithium range of batteries you will require a Victron Type B cable.
A 2: You will also need a Victron Type B cable if using the Hubble Cloudlink. The Cloudlink will enable the Victron Extended Protocol, remote monitoring and extended battery BMS monitoring.

Q: I don't have a Cloudlink installed and I sometimes get High Voltage Alarm CANBus messages.
A: This is a Victron specific issue when not using a Cloudlink. It will happen ocassionally, however it is a false positive alarm. To get rid of this alarm you have to install a Cloudlink. The Cloudlink runs the Victron Extended protocol and will give you extra functionality and get rid of the false alarm.
We recommend installing a Cloudlink when using a Victron Inverter with CANbus.

Q: How do you setup multiple batteries?
A: Check the manual for a more detailed explanation. You will have to set dip switch settings per battery to give them a unique address. You also have to connect the included RJ45 battery link cables into the "Battery Link" port of each battery. Ensure your master battery dip switch 1 is ON, 2,3,4 is OFF. Only the master battery CAN Bus will be enabled. You can then connect the Cloudlink into the CAN port of the master battery for communications to work.
Q: Do I have to use the communication battery link cables if I dont want to monitor or have communications?
A: Yes it is recommended to still connect the battery links and set the correct addresses. This also needs to be done if you want to connect a Hubble Cloudlink.
HUBBLE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS FOR MULTIPLE BATTERY INSTALLATION
|
For correct setup and communication each battery needs a unique serial address in order to communicate.
If you are only using one battery in your setup, consider this the master battery and ensure you set it to address 1. |
