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.
INVERTER SETTINGS
Settings | X-101 | AM-2 | AM-5 | AM-10 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Low Shut Down | 43V | 43V | 47V | 47V |
Low Restart | 45V | 45V | 52.5V | 52.5V |
Low Pre-Alarm | 44V | 44V | 51.5V | 51.5V |

2C | 46.8V | 42V | 42V | 46.8V |
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.
When using the Hubble Cloudlink, you will see the below screen Hubble Cloudlink (RIOT Cloudlink for older models) appear.
More details are displayed when going into the battery device.
The Cloudlink runs the Victron Extended Protocol and will enable the "Details" page for more information about the battery systems that are connected.
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.
RJ45 PIN LAYOUTS
Ensure that the clip is pointed away from you when counting the pins.

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.
