BlueNova Energy Setup on Victron ESS


BlueNova Energy Setup on Victron ESS  : 



This “ Quick Setup Guide “  is intended to assist an BlueNova Energy Approved Installer to setup a BlueNova Energy Battery on a Victron CCGX Colour Controller or Venus GX . 

This guide is not intended to demonstrate the complete Victron ESS setup or VRM Remote Access setup.

After connecting the RJ45 Network cable between the BlueNova Energy battery and the CCGX /Venus GX,  the BlueNova Energy battery should be visible in the Device List.  If not,  please check cable( “straight “ network cable) or refer to point 12 and assure the baudrate is set at 250 kbit/s . 

There is no need to use the Victron Ve Can Terminator/s, supplied with the CCGX/Venus GX ,  when connecting a BlueNova Energy battery .

The “Battery Monitor” can either be put on “ BlueNova on CAN-bus “ or left on “ Automatic “  . On  “Automatic “  the  “ Battery Monitor “  will fallback to the Inverter,  as battery monitor,   should the CCGX/Venus GX fails.

Incase a Victron Energy Meter is being used in the setup,  the option “ Control without grid meter ”     must be   “ Off “  .  

 

11.

  

The “ Grid setpoint “ can be adjusted as required,  but the “idea” is to have 100 Watt “allowed” from the grid,  thereby preventing the ESS to feedback excess power to the grid,  when the option not  to feed back,  is selected.  However,  some feedback might still happen.
