  • Page 2: General Description

    1. General Description Bluetooth Smart built-in: dongle not needed The wireless solution to set-up, monitor and update the controller using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. VE.Direct port For a wired data connection to a Color Control, Venus GX, PC or other devices.
  • Page 3 Automatic battery voltage recognition The controllers will automatically adjust to a 12V, 24V or a 48V system one time only. If a different system voltage is required at a later stage, it must be changed manually, for example with the Bluetooth app or the optionel LCD display.
  • Page 4 Configuring and monitoring - Bluetooth Smart built-in: the wireless solution to set-up, monitor and update the controller using Apple and Android smartphones, tablets or other devices. - Use the VE.Direct to USB cable (ASS030530000) to connect to a PC, a smartphone with Android and USB On-The-Go support (requires additional USB OTG cable).
  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    2. Safety instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important instructions that shall be followed during installation and maintenance. Danger of explosion from sparking Danger of electric shock ● Please read this manual carefully before the product is installed and put into use. ●...
  • Page 6 ● Use flexible multistranded copper cable for the battery and PV connections. The maximum diameter of the individual strands is 0,4mm/0,125mm² (0.016 inch/AWG26). A 25mm² cable, for example, should have at least 196 strands (class 5 or higher stranding according to VDE 0295, IEC 60228 and BS6360). An AWG2 gauge cable should have at least 259/26 stranding (259 strands of AWG26).
