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 a Microcare Inverter via:
Cloudlink’s (Serial/RJ12 Port) to the Microcare Inverter (RS232 Port)
(Black Cable) - Serial/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.
