4.1 Method 1:Communicate with factory default inverters

Step 1:Select the cables used by the inverter by the label on the communication cables.Insert the RJ45 connector of the battery
end(CAN/RS485) and the inverter end(CAN/RS485) into the interfaces on both sides.

Step 2:Turn on the battery and inverter and wait until they are working properly. The battery is configured by factory default to
communicate with the DEYE,Sunsynk, Luxpower,Sofar, TBB inverters (CAN Port),the battery will automatically select and
communicate with one of these inverters.

Step 3:After successful communication between battery and inverter, battery status will be displayed on inverter:
voltage,current,SOC, temperature, etc.
4.2 Method 2:Communicate optional inverters(protocol select)
When communicating with other brands of inverters,such as:Growatt,Solax,Goodwe,Sorotech,LTW,MUST,SMA,etc.

Step 1:Turn on the battery,ensure BMS is normally powered on and not in sleep state, the RS232 crystal head of the
communication cable is inserted into the battery communication port, the USB end is inserted into the computer;

Step 2:Unzip the package of BMS monitoring software to the current computer(Windows Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or
above). This software does not need to be installed independently, only the environment is satisfied, double-click the main
program icon(BMS exe file) to run and use. Enter the password:green1234（space is green, the password is correct).

Step 3: Click “Parameter information”at the top of system page, click“Read”button to read battery parameter.Select the inverter
protocol at “Protocol type”.Click the “Write”button to set the protocol,after the system displays the operation succeeds, protocol
selection is complete(Please refer to the following pictures in page 5).

 COM Port number is checkable
through Resource Manager
Interface

Please reset the

battery, then the
inverter to make
the protocol
selection take
effect

Step 4:Select the cables used by the inverter by the label on the communication cables.Insert the RJ45 connector of the battery
end(CAN/RS485) and the inverter end(CAN/RS485) into the interfaces on both sides. Restart the battery and inverter. The battery
will automatically communicate with the inverter corresponding to the selected protocol.
