Blue Solar 150/70 VE.CAN only

[MezzBatt]

Hi, quick question. I have an older VE SCC with a busted screen so setting up is impossible and VE have said it's too old to repair. I've been told it's VE.CAN only (see pics) so does this mean setting up requires a full CAN interface system or can I use some sort of interface cable and a dongle...???? Bare with me I'm a little lost on the more tech/setting up side of things.

I believe that this is the manual for it:

Even with the ability to connect to a GX device, I can't imagine a way to configure it with the GX. It may be possible, but I can't confirm.

GX ain't cheap.

Get the Victron Connect app for Android or iPhone or the application for PC. Put it in Demo mode and see if can set the parameters you're looking for.

Maybe this interface will let you connect the solar charge controller to a PC? I use the MK3-USB interface with my Multiplus and it works great with the Victron Connect Windows application.

Connect a BMV 70x to a Global Remote with the Victron Global Remote to VE.Direct Connection Kit. Find a dealer nearby.
