KSh11,600.00

This connects Victron’s VE Bus port to a USB connection that you can plug in to your PC. Every Phoenix Multi/MultiPlus is ready to communicate with a computer through its RS-485 data port. All you need to link to your PC and be able to set and read out all parameters is the data link as shown plus an ethernet cable or Victron UTP cable (not included). Moreover, all Victron Energy products equipped with an RS-485 data port can easily be integrated in a computerised monitoring and control system, such as VE.Net from Victron Energy. VE-Configure software is required. Software can be downloaded for free from the Victron website. Software can be run in demo mode without having this or any external device present. For most purposes the Mk3 version will be no different than the previous Mk2 version, it was just redesigned to allow it to communicate with a wider range of devices. Use the MK3-USB to connect the following products to a computer for configuration Multi MultiGrid MultiPlus Quattro Inverter (only models with a VE.Bus communication port) ECOmulti EasySolar EasyPlus

Description

Victron Interface MK3-USB(VE Bus to USB-A)

The Victron MK3-USB Type A interface is an essential accessory for Victron Energy users, allowing seamless connection between VE.Bus enabled devices and a computer for advanced configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates. This compact USB-A to VE.Bus adapter is ideal for solar, marine, RV, or off-grid setups where you need to tweak inverter settings, update software, or troubleshoot systems like MultiPlus or Quattro inverters. It works with the free VictronConnect app on Windows, macOS, or Android (with OTG adapter), enabling changes to parameters like AC input current limits, switching modes, and more—without needing complex tools. Requiring a standard RJ45 cable for connection to the device’s VE.Bus port, it’s a plug-and-play solution that replaces older VEConfigure software for most tasks, though advanced features like Assistants may still need the full program. Built for reliability, it’s a must-have for installers and DIY enthusiasts aiming to optimize their Victron systems for efficiency and performance.
