I'm finally getting to the point in my solar upgrade project where I'll be connecting my devices to my Cerbo. It seems Victron has 27 different cable interfaces to do this and as usual, I'm kinda confused. I read through some of my manuals and that just made it worse.
Here is my Victron equipment:
Cerbo GX
BMV-712
SmartSolar 150/100 TR VE.Can
Multiplus II 3000 12v <----brand new model s/b released by end of the month
Does anybody know what cables I need???? Ve.Can? Ve.Bus? Ve.Direct? USB? RJ11? RJ45?
On a separate note, I have a Victron Lynx Distributor. It has LED status lights on the front panel. I supplied power to the Lynx today but none of the lights lit up. After researching this it kind of sounded like the status lights don't work unless you connect a cable to a SmartShunt (which I don't have) for power. This just doesn't sound right. It seems like if power is passing through the Lynx Distributor that the status lights should work - at least the power light. Does anybody have experience with this?
