Can - Sensata Dimensions 12LP15 Owner's Manual

CAN

The inverter is compatible with RV-C CAN, developed by the RVIA (Recreational
Vehicle Industry Association). CAN allows for the inverter to communicate with other
devices on the network.
For CAN to work properly, the inverter and all other devices on the CAN network
must be using the same CAN protocol. If the protocols are different, the devices will
not recognize each other.
The typical RV-C CAN network is operated at 250 kbit/s, although the inverter may be
configured for 500 kbits/s. Up to 13 inverter/chargers can be placed on the CAN
network. Each inverter/charger requires a unique instance to differentiate itself from
similar devices.
The inverter/charger supports most standard RV-C instructions in additional to several
custom commands for configuration changes. Contact the factory for more
information.
