For connection to the computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232
interface is required.
If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface
cable is needed. Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.4 Configuration with a VE.Net panel
To this end, a VE.Net panel and the VE.Net to VE.Bus converter are required.
With VE.Net you can set all parameters, with the exception of the multi-functional relay and
the VirtualSwitch.
5.5 Configuration with DIP switches (see appendix D)
Some settings can be changed with DIP switches.
Procedure:
a) Turn the Compact on, preferably without load and without AC voltage on the inputs. The
Compact will then operate in inverter mode.
b) Set the DIP switches as required.
c) Store the settings by moving DIP switch 8 to ‘on’ and back to ‘off’.
5.5.1. DIP switch 1 and 2
Default setting: to operate the product with the ‘On/Off/Charger Only’ switch
ds 1: ‘off’
ds 2: ‘on’
The default setting is required when using the ‘On/Off/Charger Only’ switch in the front panel.
Setting for remote operation with a Multi Control Panel:
ds 1: ‘on’
ds 2: ‘off’
This setting is required when a Multi Control Panel is connected.
The Multi Control panel must be connected to one of the two RJ48 sockets B, see appendix
A.
Setting for remote operation with a 3-way switch:
ds 1: ‘off’
ds 2: ‘off’
This setting is required when a 3-way switch is connected.
The 3-way switch must be wired to terminal H, see appendix C.
Only one remote control can be connected, i.e. either a switch or a remote control panel.
In both cases the switch on the product itself should be ‘on’.
