@curasun Have you tried just dragging and dropping the image files into the reply editing area?

So as promised I am back with details on LG Ghem Resu 10 working togheter with the PIP 4048 MS. Great stuff djonexx! Thanks for letting us know. I look forward to hearing how you go with Dynamic (Charge) Current Control. Dynamic Load Control may also be of interest, to get that no-load battery cons...

My inverters read the AC voltages 3 volts higher than actual as its all of them (6) has anybody checked to see if they have the same and can this be changed to be accurate? If they were all similar we could add a patch. But alas, I have one PIP reading 245 V and the other 247 V while the Fluke 87 I...

@Vissie and @coulomb, your recent posts about Voltronic InfiniSolar Inverters have been moved to the Voltronic InfiniSolar Inverters thread.

To answer that, I need to know: Are you using 16S or 15S LFP? What make and model are your panels? I already know your approximate location and therefore your temperature regime. Weber, my batteries are 15S. The panels are REC 250 watt. I would have to get out of bed to find the model number...... ...

Hello weber and coulomb, thanks for your efforts on the new Beta Version of Patched Firmware 72.20b for PF1 models with the 64V option. Good fast work. I will try it today. Did you get the parallel boards from Tom? If not mine have arrived. Cheers Robert Thanks Robert. We transferred the parallel b...

For 5048MS PF1 not 64v model do you have any patch? Is there any way to pass beyond the 58.4 v bulk/absorb voltage? I see in the manual the cut-off voltage of 60v. Is there any risk if I charge the battery with an external charger, at let say 59.5 v? Hi Dinu. We don't know. Any time spent at a high...

Beta Version of Patched Firmware 72.20c for PF1 models with the 64V option [Edit: We've replaced 72.20b here, with 72.20c that has a new load-control or go-to-standby command.] This patched firmware fixes the premature-float bugs in the manufacturer's firmware for the PIP-5048MS, Axpert MKS 5K-48 (...

Hi all, what setting controls the 04 low battery warning. My 5048ms is triggering at 49.5 v , which is not low for my 15s lfp batteries. TIA Robert Hi Robert. The low battery warning thresholds depend on the Low Cutoff Voltage (setting 29). In the standard firmware, a low battery warning is given a...

I just received the following photos anonymously by email.

One morning after having been installed for a few weeks they exploded. A high temper...

There are several commands I don't recognise, such as QBEQI and PBEQA, which I think may be Query Battery EQualise Inquiry and Program Battery EQualisation Active respectively. But that's just a guess. Why guess when you can google it? See http://forums.aeva.asn.au/download/file.php?mode=view&id=64...

Hey all Anyone tried the new Axpert VMIII or Axpert King ? I don't expect any problems with it doing what it claims. However I'm curious if the existing communication protocol still works with the newer models. Apologies if this has been answered before, the thread is quite epic in length. Definite...

Coulomb, In fact, with the answer "ACK" I was convinced commando accepted. But no. My program, after transmitting in command and waiting for the answer, goes to read the status of the EPROM and I always return the unmodified value. I am attaching the portion of the writing and reading program: ... ...

hello Weber,
and can I download the current firmware from the inverter or do I need to get it from the manufacturer?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to download the current firmware from the inverter.

The Voltronic Zoo I just compiled a spreadsheet of what Coulomb calls "The Zoo" of Voltronic 230 Vac off-grid wall-mount inverters, with the specs that distinguish them. I also give model numbers for the equivalent inverters from MPP Solar, when they exist. It only includes currently available mode...

hi coulomb, would it be possible to make float patch for lifepo4 battery even for pip2424msxe? a lot of people would have helped Thanks Hi bubla. As I wrote at the end of this post: http://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?p=69059#p69059 Coulomb and I are willing to fix the premature float bugs in a...

Hello coulomb and weber, did you plan in next firmware add/modify PIP commands to dynamically switch to bypass mode (for LiFe batteries)? Now we have possibility to dynamically limit charging current (good for top balancing), but it would by also great to have possibility to force PIP in bypass mod...

Welcome @gbeppe

I'm guessing you have not set the battery type to "user", either by using the LCD and buttons to set parameter [5] to "USE" or "uSr", or by sending a serial command PBT02 with a CRC of 0x074C.

Fantastic news. How long did it take for the freight and install?

About 6 months.

WhereIsAdmin , We have no way of knowing what the HeadsUp account's password was, and so could not transfer it to the new system. But we do know what the old email address was. Can you please tell me what that email address was, by private message, so we have some reason to trust that you have a le...

Hello, on LCD is shown battery current 1A, but real current measured on battery wire is 0A (oscilating +- 20 mA). PIP is in bypas mode (L). QPIGS response is 235.1 49.9 235.1 49.9 0564 0525 013 412 51.00 001 028 0038 0001 060.4 50.99 00000 01110110 00 00 00086 010 Your QPIGS response shows 86 watts...

Replacing a failed 4048 in a parallel set is a problem people will increasingly be facing. I do not have a solution.

Hi Solar Junky , That's crazy stuff. Thanks for sharing. My only guess is that you were very lucky that the induced voltages from the nearby lightning were not great enough to do permanent damage, but they did put some of the peripheral interface chips (for control and sensing) into unusual states, ...

Hi @DanoP. Thanks for reporting this. Can you please tell us what battery current is shown on the LCD when you get the false reading from QPIGS? Do you get the same false reading on the LCD?
