Been fitting my new US5000 today and was wondering as the short leads are a bit too short, whether you can go straight across rather than diagonal as you have the 2nd and 3rd orange leads. I assume it makes no difference. When I got it all wired up I had one of the original batteries flashing the red light. So disconnected the new battery and put everything back to original and still not working, said no AC input and I found the plug labeled GRID was not properly screwed into the Control box. The retaining ring has a bayonet fitting and could never have been properly fitted by the installers and lifting a 40kg battery, must have shaken the fitting loose.
Ive just added a us5000 to my system, 3 x us2000 1 x us3000c, i have a lux hybrid inverter which needed a modified can connector when I installed the us3000c as the master, but now im having the us5000 as the master, ive had to make another different one, is this common among different brand inverters?
Just thought it was odd, I had to modify the cable for the different model batteries from the same manufacturer, yet there is very little if any info on this, very strange
Very little info and not all manufacturers share a set standard. Its a shame really but its the way things are. Please subscibe to this channel. @@WalkabletunaVEVO
Unfortunately having an issue with my lux inverter, the DC side seems to have gone kaput, batteries aren't charging/discharging and no solar production is happening, my installer is looking into it but just keep going round in circles 😢
Help I have acquired 3 Sonnen brand batteries that are Pylontech batteries. They come on for 10 minutes then shut off. I have hooked to them using RS232, I type “help” to get all the commands for getting info and a little control of the battery. What command I need is how to turn the batteries on permanently. Can you help?
Sorry we only connect using CAN bus. We do not use RS232 , so really cannot tell you how to achieve the batteries permanent ON status but I am sure you have misconnected the batteries somewhere. Best to contact your inverter supplier or where you got the batteries from!
@@pylontechsolarbatterystora3979 I am studying CAN bus right now. I know every communication protocol except that one. Seems like I will need a piece of hardware for my computer or Raspberry Pi, whichever I decide to communicate with the batteries. At least I now know to stop looking on the RS232 port, it provides useful information but does no control. Thanks for the reply.
