Well, so much for the idiot installers... Thanks. I'll pull that thing out as soon as I get home.

Just as a matter of interest. Is there any way to communicate between these two protocols? Or, is that cable between the Axpert inverter and GCLS batteries actually not serving any purpose?

Any idea on where I can get the USB to serial adapter?

Ah, ok... So I would need to unplug my batteries communication cable. Would that affect anything, especailly if I wanted to do real time monitoring?

Even more confused now... :-( Where do I get the cable you recommend at the bottom of the post?

OK, in terms of cabling, it should then be as follows/ Computer USB female to USB male connected to RJ45 female, to RJ45 male connected to serial (this being what I received with the inverter), into one of the "Parrallell" ports on the inverter?

Ok thanks, but which Serial port to use on the Axpert? The serial Ports there are designated for "Parrallel Connection"

Hi guys In terms of the cable to use to install the update. This is the current setup at the bottom of the inverter. The RS232 currently engaged there is the communication cable to the batteries. Any recommendation on what cable to use to my computer, and which port to use on the inverter?

Thanks. I’ll try and get the patch installed, and will let you guys know if all is sorted.

Hi All I have an Axpert inverter, (model version M-5k-64-PAR-A). I have two GCLS 6.2KW Litium Ion batteries attached to it, which is charged off a Solar Array of 9x265w Amerisolar Pannels. It’s to power our small household, which is off-grid, and is supplemented by a 6KvA generator as needed. My problem is as follows... The inverter seems to be stopping the charge from the panels. It will be going along nicely on any given day, and then the PV input will drop to 30W, on the back of 0 Amps. The input Voltage also then sticks between 100v to 105v. It will then stay there and not recover. I am at my wits-end, and would appreciate any comment on fixing this.
