    EG4-LL-S communication issue with EG4-LL v2 (6-pin)

    @Markus_EG4 @EG4_Jared thanks for your feedback, I ended up loading the multipack firmware posted elsewhere in this forum to get going, that was the only readily viable solution to me. I crimped (and confirmed) 2 comm cables with pins 3,7,8 between the LL-S and the LL2, that didn't do it...

    EG4-LL-S communication issue with EG4-LL v2 (6-pin)

    thanks @EG4_Jared. I have plenty of RJ45s available to crimp, is there a pin-out for the batt connection cable I can use between the V2 and LL-S to get this going/skip the firmware update for now, till I get some RS232 gear delivered?

    EG4-LL-S communication issue with EG4-LL v2 (6-pin)

    @Markus_EG4 Need some help please. Apparently the LL-S firmware update is a 2-step process and requires 2 separate cables? I can only do the RS485 step, had to backout the firmware update when I realized the RS485 cable won't do it by itself. Where do I find the RS232 cable? Can you send me a...

    thanks @Markus_EG4 , will try that out over the weekend

    EG4-LL-S communication issue with EG4-LL v2 (6-pin)

    I found the thread on communication issues between LP4s and EG4-LL-S, does the same issue apply between EG4-LL v2 (6-pin) and EG4-LL-S? Is it a firmware fix or a modified ethernet cable without pin 6 that's needed? I have 2 x EG4-LL v2 (6-pin) batteries working just fine with a 6000XP. I just...

    6000XP won't start charge with 188VDC

    That seems high. Just looking at today's data, my 6000XP started charging @132.7V in the morning and cutoff @126.6V in late afternoon.

    SOC drop - battery calibration issue?

    thanks for the quick reply! Will top them off, with the winter low solar yield they spend very little time at 100% currently

    SOC drop - battery calibration issue?

    This happened last night, what can possibly cause this SOC drop from 29% to 0%? 6000XP with 2 x EG4-LLs. Battery comms in-place and working, threshold to start charging the battery at 25%, back to grid threshold at 20%. System worked as planned, I didn't even know this happened till this...

    6000XP - Config to top up batteries at preset time?

    thanks, good to hear. Was this done through setting AC Charge Based On = "Time" or something else? Also, not sure how ECO plays into this, as it's used only if there's no load, no?

    6000XP - Config to top up batteries at preset time?

    Is there no way for the 6000XP to charge the batteries at a preset schedule? I did confirm late last night that "Battery SOC and Time" is not it.

    6000XP - Config to top up batteries at preset time?

    I've currently set "AC Charge Based On" to "Battery SOC" and it works as expected, it starts charging the batteries when the low/start SOC threshold is met. Now, I would like to add a daily preset time range to charge the batteries, in addition to the start/end thresholds. The idea being on...

    EG4 6000XP wiring to Reliance Pro Tran 2 transfer switch

    Nope, the 510 uses 10AWG for all load wires inside the TS, including the L1/L2 gen input, and 8AWG for neutral (pass-through to the gen connection) although it calls for 6AWG connections to the TS. I did a double take too when I saw that initially, hence the call to Reliance. That's my sample...

    EG4 6000XP wiring to Reliance Pro Tran 2 transfer switch

    I don't believe there's a need to downsize the AC Out breaker for connection to a 30A reliance...Here's something interesting I found in an electrical forum and subsequently confirmed with Reliance... (not sure if I can post direct links here, would be happy to) All load wires on both the 30A...

    TIGO TAP Mounting Lication

    You don't need to penetrate the roof for that...(unless metal as stated above) My TAP sits about ~12ft away from the closest TS4-A-O and works just fine. Granted it's a ground array with nothing interfering between the panels and the TAP but my point is you should be able to run the TAP away...

    EG4 6000XP wiring to Reliance Pro Tran 2 transfer switch

    thank you for posting this, I have a 6000XP incoming and this is exactly what I'm looking to do with my Reliance 310. Follow-up question: Do you think it's a good idea to swap the 50A AC out breaker in the 6000XP with a 30A for this particular scenario? The 310 is rated for 30A input with 10AWG...
