bushman10 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 A Schneider Conext Monitor 20 and cables to connect two Schneider RL5000s units to the web for monitoring A USB dongle en cable to connect a Victron Quatro to my laptop for monitoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 For the Quatro, it is really expensive and you cannot debate warranty issues on it, I would recommend you get the genuine Victron cable. Just confirm that this is the right cable for your Quattro: https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/interface-mk2-usb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman10 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yes, the MK2 is the unit. I also need a 2 meter network cable from the Victron to the Laptop Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman10 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 From Current Automation Thanks. Phoned and emailed Rudolph there. He had no knowledge of Schneider Conext 20 but said he will find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman10 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 @TTT - The BMV-700 connects to the Victron. If I now get the USB MK2 dongle which also connects to the Victron Quattro, will I be able to get to the battery stats and monitor them via the Quattro OR do I need to connect to the BMV-700 directly Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 BMV needs this cable: BMV Cable - about R550.00 IF you shop very hard. Or @superdiy from this thread: See here Or @Camel has had a few for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If you can, get the BMV 702 ... just because even if you are not going to use the midpoint feature, you are covered for the future. Again, ask @Camel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
