solarman Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Question regarding upgrade of firmware.. can I use the USB cable? Or do I need to use the Serial cable that fits into the RS232 port with a serial to USB adaptor ? *Edits.. just for clarity Edited July 24, 2018 by solarman Quote
Coulomb Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 No, you can't use USB unless you have a model that has only USB. I think it's just laziness on the part of the manufacturer, but that's the way it is. 5 kVA models have the RS232 port, and you have to use it. So yes, you'll need the serial to USB adapter, or an rare Windows computer with a built-in serial port. Quote
solarman Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks Coulomb. I have a 3kva and 5kva and the 3kva doesn't have thae RS232 port so I thought there might be a slight chance. Quote
Coulomb Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 My understanding is that the Windows software for the 3 kVA models with no RS232 port is different, and you can (only) update firmware in such models via USB. Quote
