Preparation

Required Tools

• To prevent rework, please follow the installation steps below one after another.

Required Tools

Mounting Template
Please tear off this piece of paper and paste it to the mounting location for drilling holes.
You can also use another piece of paper as the mounting template.
The installation hole comes in 110 mm × 65 mm (4.33 in x 2.56 in).

Mounting Location

• Install Renogy ONE on a vertical surface indoors protected from direct sunlight, high temperature, and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
• Mounting Renogy ONE requires installation holes. Make sure that you can drill holes on the mounting position.
• To ensure quality wireless communication for Renogy ONE, keep it away from metal objects at a minimum distance of 200 mm or 7.9 inches.
• If the included 12V power cable is not long enough for connecting Renogy ONE to your DC power supply, re-select a mounting position or use an extension cable (≥ 22 AWG).
• Confirm the polarities of the included cable and the extension one before connecting them. A reverse polarity contact will result in abnormal operations. The extension cable should not exceed 10 meters (32.8 feet).
• Ensure that the base cover of Renogy ONE is firmly mounted to the wall to prevent it from falling off.

Tape the mounting template to the selected mounting location, and measure whether the 12V power cable is long enough to connect Renogy ONE to your DC power supply.

If the included 12V power cable is not long enough for connecting Renogy ONE to your DC power supply, re-select a mounting position or use an extension cable (≥ 22 AWG). If you do not need to extend the 12V power cable, go to Figure 1.1.4. Cut the included 12V power cable, and strip off some of the insulation.

Strip some insulation off the extension cable, and connect the cable to the included 12V power supply cable. Tape over the cut-off areas.

Use the drill and skill saw to dig the installation hole according to the gray mark on the mounting template.

Tear off the mounting template.

Remove the base cover of Renogy ONE with a Phillips screwdriver (#2).

Put the protruding part of the base cover into the installation hole (in a direction and position as shown in Figure 1.1.7), and use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the base cover with four M4 mounting screws through the mounting hole.
Note that screws are driven in straight into the mounting holes to ensure the base cover perfectly fits into Renogy ONE.

Power Wiring

• Renogy ONE can be connected to a DC power supply of up to 16V; otherwise Renogy ONE may be damaged.
• Illustrations in this quick guide are based on scenarios where REGO 12V 400Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery and REGO 3 Ports 400A Battery Combiner Box are adopted as power supplies.
• Make sure the DC power supply is powered off before connection.
• Confirm the polarities of the DC power supply before connection. A reverse polarity contact will result in abnormal operations.
• After correct power cable connection and normal power-on of the DC power supply, Renogy ONE is automatically powered on. Failed automatic power-on indicates Renogy ONE needs troubleshooting. For details, refer to Troubleshooting in the user manual of Renogy ONE. For additional support, please contact our customer service through renogy.com/contact-us/.
• Risk of electric shock! Power off the DC power supply after the test on power-on of Renogy ONE is completed.

Connect the ring terminals of the 12V power cable to the positive and negative terminals of the DC power supply, and reserve the connector end of the power cable in the installation hole.

Insert the 12V power cable terminal block into Renogy ONE power port.

Power on the DC power supply and check if Renogy ONE automatically turns on with the LCD lighting up.

Communication Wiring

(Optional)
Renogy ONE can communicate with Renogy energy devices in several ways:

1. Bluetooth wireless communication;
2. Wired communication based on RS485 protocol;
3. Wired communication based on RV-C protocol.

You can choose an appropriate communication method according to the actual situation.

• For Bluetooth wireless communication, communication wiring is not required.
• For RS485 or RV-C communication, you need to wire Renogy ONE with energy devices.

How to wire RV-C communication cables varies depending on the connection network topology. Both backbone and daisy chain topologies are supported.
Connect devices to Renogy ONE according to the wiring diagram provided by the RV manufacturer. For technical support from Renogy, please contact us through renogy.com/contact-us/.
For scenarios where the RVs are installed with RV-C buses and where relevant devices are connected in backbone topology, see the user manual of Renogy ONE for connection details. If an RV-C bus is not pre-installed in the RV, please follow the steps below.

Recommended Accessories

• Select the appropriate communication cable (sold separately) according to the distance between devices. The communication cable should be less than 6 meters (19.6 feet).
• For RV-C daisy chain topology, please make sure that the CAN communication socket of the first device is installed with a 120Ω LP16 terminal plug (7-pin).

Ensure the selected communication cable is long enough to connect Renogy ONE to other devices.

Pre-embed the RJ45 connector of the communication cable into the installation hole.

If there is only one device, insert the other end of the communication cable to the communication port of the specific device in use.
If there are multiple devices, connect all the devices to Renogy Communication Hub. Follow the instructions in the user manual of Renogy ONE.

Connect the pre-embedded RJ45 connector to the RJ45 port of Renogy ONE.

Load Wiring

(Optional)
Renogy ONE comes with 3 relays which can be connected to 3 DC loads (appliances) (≤30V DC, ≤5A). You can power on/off the loads via Panel Switches on Renogy ONE.

Recommended Accessories

• For your safety, please refer to the user manual of Renogy ONE at renogy.com for the recommended wire gauge and length.
• Ensure that the working current of an external DC load is less than or equal to 5A; otherwise Renogy ONE may be damaged.
• Ensure that the output voltage of the DC power supply for an external DC load is less than or equal to 30V; otherwise Renogy ONE may be damaged.
• Make sure the DC power supply is powered off before connection.
• Confirm the polarities of the DC power supply and the load before connection. A reverse polarity contact will result in abnormalities.
• Make sure the DC power supply is powered off before wiring.
• Strip some insulation off the bare wire end according to the depth of the installation hole.
• The maximum screw torque of wire hatch is 0.4 N•m. Do not overtighten the screws to avoid damage to the hatch.

Ensure that the DC power supply cable and the cable that is connected to the positive pole of the load (appliance) are connected to the same group of terminals. For example, "IN 1" and "OUT 1" are in a group.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the wire hatch screw counterclockwise. Make sure that the terminal hatch is completely open.

Connect one of the ring terminals of the tray cable to the negative terminal of the DC power supply, and connect the other end to the negative pole of the load.

Connect the bare wire to the positive pole of the load, and reserve the other end in the installation hole.

Insert the reserved tray cable connecting to the positive terminal of the load (applicance) into the Renogy ONE output terminal (OUT), and use a Phillips screwdriver to turn the wire hatch screw clockwise.

Connect the other ring terminal of the adapter cable to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and reserve the other end in the installation hole.

Insert the tray cable connecting to the positive end of the DC power supply into the Renogy ONE input terminal (IN), and use a screwdriver to turn the wire hatch screw clockwise.

Make sure all connections are tight and secure.

Mounting

• Make sure that Renogy ONE is installed securely to prevent it from falling off.

Disassemble Panel Switch 1 and Panel Switch 3 from Renogy ONE.

Put the Renogy ONE on the base, and use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the four M2 screws through the mounting holes, so that the Renogy ONE is fixed on the base.

Align the snap on the back of the panel switch with the snap on the installation position and press firmly to complete the assembly of Panel Switch 1 and Panel Switch 3 on Renogy ONE.
