AXPERT
INVERTER GUIDE
+ SETTINGS + COMMUNICATION + TROUBLESHOOTING
The various Axpert type inverters are fully compatible with the full range of Hubble batteries as well as our Cloudlink battery monitoring device. The following guide will assist with the correct battery settings and cable connections you should use.
For further detailed information ensure you read the manual of the supplied battery regarding setup and installation instructions.
WARNING
​
Working with high-voltage systems is dangerous. Do not attempt to modify your inverter and battery setup unless you are certain you understand the risk. Speak to a qualified electrician if you are unsure.

PIN LAYOUTS & CLOUDLINK
PLEASE NOTE
Axpert type inverters require a Cloudlink to access full CAN-BUS communication with a Hubble Energy battery, it is however not required, and the system will be functional on user defined voltage control.
CLOUDLINK
The Cloudlink will connect to an Axpert type Inverter via:
​
Cloudlink’s (Serial/RJ12 Port) to the Axpert type Inverter (RS232 Port)
​
(Black Cable) - RJ12 to RJ45 (450mm) cable.
The Cloudlink will connect to the Battery via:
​
Cloudlink’s (CAN Port) to the Battery (CAN Port)
(Blue Cable) - Standard RJ45 to RJ45 (1500mm) cable.
RJ45 PIN LAYOUTS
Ensure that the clip is pointed away from you when counting the pins.

FOR MULTIPLE BATTERY INSTALLATION
For correct setup and communication, each battery needs a unique serial address 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are there communications between Axpert and Hubble Energy batteries?
The Hubble range of batteries communicate to inverters using the CAN port. The Axpert type inverter range does not have a CAN bus communications port. Although it does have a Modbus port, we do not support Modbus. CAN bus communication is optional for Hubble and Axpert and the Hubble range of batteries work very well without communications. This is made possible by our internal BMS DC/DC converter and current limiting module. Our BMS will limit the current to the cells when requires through hardware instead of communications. Thus, making the Hubble a great fit for inverters without CAN bus.
If you would like full communications between the Axpert and the Hubble battery, you can invest in the Hubble Cloudlink device. The Cloudlink will enable remote monitoring, 2-way BMS integration and remote management of the Axpert through your free cloud account. Officially we recommend installing a Cloudlink with the Hubble on a Axpert type inverter so you can monitor, control and troubleshoot your solar system and Hubble lithium batteries remotely.
