Summary of Contents for Victron energy VE.Bus

  • Page 1: System Requirements

    Not supported when a DMC control and/or VeBus BMS is installed Introduction The VE.Bus Smart dongle is a Bluetooth Smart enabled VE.Bus interface, with battery temperature- and-voltage sensing. It communicates system information straight to your smart phone - using the free-to-use VictronConnect app.
  • Page 2 In systems with a Multiplus-II, dongle and Venus-device, but no other source of temperature and voltage, the data from the dongle will also be used. At this time, the VE.Bus Smart dongle cannot send its temperature and voltage data as part of a VE.Smart network.

  • Page 3: What's In The Box

    For battery temperature sensing, mount the dongle on or near the battery using the dongle's adhesive mounting. If mounted near the battery, screws can be used. Plug the connector block into the dongle. Connect the dongle to the Multi's Ve.Bus interface, using a standard RJ45 UTP cable Victron Energy - https://www.victronenergy.com/live/...

  • Page 4: Led Status Codes

    If both LEDs remain illuminated, something is wrong with the Ve.Bus Smart unit (Hardware error). When the LEDs are alternating quickly for more than 30 seconds, the Ve.Bus Smart is in firmware update mode and will need to complete the update before it can be used. Firmware updates are performed (where necessary) after connecting to VictronConnect.

  • Page 5: Modes Of Operation

    The dongle can operate both as a primary and a background information source. It will assume either role automatically depending on whether a Venus-device (CCGX/VenusGX/OctoGX) is present in the system. Due to restrictions in the VE.Bus communication protocol only one device can access data such as power readings. Victron Energy - https://www.victronenergy.com/live/...

  • Page 6: Victron Connect Screenshots

    When no Multi is connected VictronConnect will list the 'VE.Bus Smart Dongle' in the device list. In this case the dongle can be used as a Voltage/Temperature sensor.
