Hi Guys. Hope all is well.

I was wondering if the Venus GX was compatible with the Victron Multi 48/1200/13-16 1000W Inverter/Charger . We would like it to talk to the Pylon US3000B. The loads in our Fiber -WIFI hut is only 250W. We require long backup times with limited space. I am opting for the small multi as it has 13A charger and is the smallest I could find. Just need the Multi to speak to the Pylon. Hope you can help.

Thanks so much all!

Sincerely

Jason

Yes - unless @plonkster says otherwise. 🙂 

Awesome times! Now an extra feature. I would like the kit to email a few of the directors of the company that the victron is now running on battery. And send out emails at different state of charge of the battery. I maybe going to far. Haha. ?

That's a VE.Direct inverter. So it is partly supported. See #365 which I closed rather recently, but which is not in an official release yet, and then also see #433 which is still open and might be more bothersome to people. One of the things I have to do TODAY is to check that the VRM side works.

So it is a bit of a qualified yes. Does it work? Probably. Should it? Yes!

Hehe scary stuff! What would be the smallest multi that supports the Venus. Feels a bit off making use of a 3000VA Multi for a 210W load? Hahah.  What about the multiplus 2? Shall we check their sizes?

Thanks for all the great help.

Hang on! I'm confusing things here. You have a Multi (Inverter/Charger). The "bugs" I quoted relate to the Phoenix. The one you have is this one?

That has a VE.Bus port. It should work just fine.

Even if it doesn't, at 13A you are unlikely to do much damage to a Pylontech battery, and you can also wire the dry contacts on the battery to the remote switch on the Multi, though don't ask me toom uch about that!

🙂

Thanks Gentleman.

This is what I have. As attached. I would be changing the multi to the 1200W unit . If I recall it charges at 13A. And also wanting to upgrade the pylontech to a US3000B. Now! To add a component to have it email grid failure and battery V! As attachment.
