This means that the charger for example can get information from the battery controller to optimize the charge current. It is possible to control and monitor all your VE.Net devices from a single VE.Net compatible control panel. This saves space and allows you to control all your devices from one place. -
Page 5: Supported Devices
• Two UTP cables, each with two RJ45 connectors (one for VE.Net, and one for VE 9-bit RS485) • VE.Net Panel (VPN) (Must have a software version of 1.07 or higher) Optionally, you may also wish to connect a traditional remote panel. -
Page 6: Wiring And Jumpers
3.2 Wiring and jumpers To connect the VVC to a VPN or other VE.Net device, use a standard straight UTP cable with RJ45 connectors. The total length of UTP cables in a VE.Net network should not exceed 100 meters. Connect one of the UTP cables to your chosen device (Phoenix multi, charger etc), and plug the other end into one of the sockets on the VVC labelled VE 9-bit. - Page 7 Figure 1 – Jumper locations Connect the power terminals to the battery using 1.5mm wire.

Page 8: Using The Vvc
Figure 2 – Wiring diagram 4 Using the VVC When power is first applied to the VVC, the status LED will flash rapidly for approximately 2 seconds. The VVC will then begin communicating with the VE 9-bit device, and determine which features it supports. Whenever there is communication between the VVC and the VE 9-bit device, the status LED will blink slowly. -
