Overview

 

This 1.5m RS485 to USB cable is designed for connecting a solar charge controller to your PC / laptop for remote monitoring and personalisation of your solar system via a special software which is free to download and use (suitable for Windows operating system only).

The cable is designed for use with any DM series solar charge controller.

By using this cable to set up a connection between your solar charge controller and a special software programme on your PC or laptop, you will be able to gain access not only to the standard charging parameters already shown via the built-in LCD screen, but also additional information such as min/max voltages, temperature, protection cut off voltages, diagnostics and other information. If required the user will also be able to amend the battery capacity, set charging volts for different charging stages, specify the duration of each charging stage, create a user-defined battery type with charging parameters specific to their battery (if the pre-existing options are unsuitable), and more.
