VICTRON
INVERTER GUIDE

+ SETTINGS + COMMUNICATION + TROUBLESHOOTING

The Victron range of inverters are fully compatible with the Hubble range of batteries including the essential Cloudlink Device required for communication.  
​The following field guide will assist with the correct battery settings you should use.

For further detailed information ensure you read the manual of the supplied battery regarding the 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.

INVERTER EXAMPLE

VICTRON SETUP

When installing a Victron system it is required 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.  Without a Cloudlink the GX/Inverter/MPPT must be setup to use Voltage Control though static charge settings.

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.

PIN LAYOUTS & CLOUDLINK

For the Victron inverters to communicate with the Hubble Energy range of batteries you will require a Victron Type B cable and a Cloudlink.

CLOUDLINK

The Cloudlink will enable the Victron Extended Protocol, remote monitoring, and extended battery BMS monitoring.

HUBBLE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

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

What cable do I need to connect my Hubble Energy
battery with a Victron Inverter?

For the Victron inverters to communicate with the Hubble Energy range of batteries you will require a Victron Type B cable. 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.

How do you set up multiple batteries?

You will have to set dip switch settings per battery to give them a unique address. You also must 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 Hubble Cloudlink into the CAN port of the master battery for communications to work.

Do I have to use the communication battery link cables if I don’t want to monitor or have communications?

Yes.
