That’s ok. It’s always a lottery in Thailand. The last three I shipped in came in via DHL with nothing to pay. This time they are sending me two via Comone Express. Not so sure.

I received a confirmation this morning that its been logged for shipping with Comone Express. So they must be back on top of any supply issues now.

Thats also what I did Crossy and no problem. They will eventually post an invoice for you on Alibaba or Aliexpress and all is clear there. Ask them about shipping time because I am still waiting on delivery of one to Thailand. They seem to have a bit of a stock issue at the moment.

Those measurements are exactly the same as mine tigerwillow1 excepting my voltage at A and B is slightly less at 4.9v. That could also be my meter. I will get someone to check the coms port next. Thanks for your help.

Thanks tigerwillow1. When I plug the device in I get a momentary light up of all lights and thereafter just the solid power light. The TXD light flashes faintly about every 7 seconds when the software is open but nothing from the RXD light. When the monitoring software is open and the device is...

I agree with you that there is possible damage to the BMS caused by connecting the USB to Ethernet adaptor. I don’t know much about RS485 and how it works but I have exhausted nearly every other option and this should be simple plug and play. Seplos however are adamant that the USB to Ethernet...

Thanks. I will try uninstalling the devices and reinstalling and see if that works.

You were right shavermcspud. Despite making it clear what I wanted, a USB to Ethernet convertor was sent. It follows that most of my testing has also been a waste of time. in the interim I have ordered an additional two RS485 adaptors from the link you sent and I will keep trying to troubleshoot...

It’s an interesting point you raise shavermcspud. The white one in the middle is what came with the BMS direct from Seplos. I asked Seplos to supply it in order that I got a compatible convertor. The other two were purchased online. But now I look at the Seplos website I see that although it...

That’s correct. Depending on what’s on pin 1 and 2 you can also use orange white and orange. I have tried both combinations per the Seplos rs485 wiring guide and that hasn’t solved the problem. The connectors are all RS485 adapters (see the attached picture - apologies for not providing...

Here is the other end.

It will be hard to see in that pick but from the r left side first it is 1.Or age white 2. Orange 3. Green white 4. Blue 5. Blue white 6. Green 7. Brown white 8. Brown Exactly the same at the other end.

I see now shavermcspud. This is the existing setting: USB Serial Port Properties Bits per second 19,200 Data bits 8 Parity none Sop bits 1 Flow control None I have also checked that the numbers and decimal format is correct on my desktop

That is very interesting shavermcspud. "set the baud rate to 19200 n 8 1" What do you mean with " n 8 1"? I agree it is probably a PC issue but I have no idea what it is. When I check the port in device Manager I see that it is working correctly and that I have identified the right port. I...

Thanks for your response tigerwillow1. Yes I have the baud rate set to 19,200 and the dip switches all off. Here is a list of what I have done so far: 1. Baud rate is set at 19,200 and I have also tried other rates as well. 2. Dip switches off and have also tried number 1 on. 3. Tried three...

I am having problems getting the Seplos BMS to communicate with my PC via the standard RS485 protocol. This is a long story but basically I am on my second BMS ( after seplos admitted the first had a problem) following a successful warranty claim. Today I spent approximately 4 hours with the...

I have received the inverter but I haven't been up to the property to instal it yet. Will do that this coming week and let you know. But I don't expect any problems. I also ordered the upgraded CANBUS board (there were two) for the old (non CANBUS) model that I will be installing.

My feedback on Seplos. I have completed two orders with Seplos and in the balance I am happy with them (none were for batteries - both for 200A 48v BMS's). I was one of the first to order their 200A BMS in the first go to market proof of product they did and after ordering I saw that some...

Thats how mine are. Was just trying to understand why one would unscrew and two wouldn't. Probably a fault and all three should be the same. Thats interesting. Thanks for posting. Two of mine are definitely locked shut.

Some great ideas. I need to look into that 12 gauge trip :) . Cameras up high may act as deterrents but they serve little purpose capturing a face or identifying someone for evidence as they only record the top of a head or hat. You need them max a foot or so above head level to be able to...

Received the following graphic from Growatt today. The latest version of SPF5000TL HVM-P is the model ending with P/N 102 and has CANbus as well as RS485 coms. Seplos advertise that they have CANbus on their BMS and compatibility to communicate with Growatt inverters. I will know soon.

Out of interest Brady is that inverter a HVM-P or a HVM-WPV-P. My supplier says the current and updated version of the first model still has no CANbus port. Only the HVM-WPV-P has CANbus but they are looking at a chart thats related to specific battery OEM packs not DIY. Seplos claims their BMS...

Thats was also my concern. But then I have also seen other pictures of this inverter with just the one RS485 port and a USB slot. So thats the part that I am uncertain on.

I have sent it to you under PM Brady. Thanks for help.

I have the above Inverter and BMS and am wondering whether my inverter actually has CANBUS communication as I have been having some problems getting it to communicate with the BMS. I have also read that many others have the same issue and it turns out that some early versions of this Growatt...

I would do both. PayPal is the primary point but I would also advise my credit card issuer that the transaction is under dispute.

A week+ where I live but I get your point. Hopefully I haven’t done any damage. Thanks for your help.

That not a good start. so I guess I’m laid up for a while now until I get a USB to RJ485 adapter. Then cross my fingers and plug it in. Thanks for the reply.

I am sure the problem is at my end but having said that the Seplos instructions aren’t totally clear for a novice. I never received a RS485 to USB adapter in my kit so I am using a Realtek USB to Ethernet connection. The Realtek device is recognized on the PC but I’m only getting a solid yellow...

I ended up getting it open by extracting It to the desktop and I can see the software but I can’t get a connection yet. Maybe there is a file in the .exe that not properly installed.

i am running as admin and I can open and read what’s in the file but I can’t run or execute them When I try to right click the files inside the zip file there is no response…..no drop down options. I have also done a restart of the pc.

I cant get any of these files to run? I can open them but the .exe files will not run. I am using Windows 10. Any ideas or is there another link somewhere. Thxs.

thanks houseoffancients. That helps a lot. Been looking everywhere and now I have some task tomorrow.

I have installed this BMS and it’s working but I am lost as to where to find the management software for a windows PC/ desktop. Can someone please provide me a link? Thanks in anticipation.
