JohanBeukes Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I bought a fivestar 5kw inverter VL-5048P-FS and a fivestar 7.68kw lithium iron battery FS-D01-48150. How do I connect the inverter to the battery for comms? There are no instruction with regard comms in the manuals and the inverter only has a RS232 connection and a USB connection. Another thing which I found to be strange is although it is a 48v inverter all programing settings on the inverter are 12v. Can any body please assist (not very clever with these kind of things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried diffrent communications Rs232 and Usb the Fivestar inverters can not communicate not with their own make battery and not with Solar Assistant they are to me dumb inverters do not know what or how you can establish comms with these inverters so if someone was successful to establish communications please let us know how to.
