Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. Can anybody comment about the earthing arrangements when using the EPS output please. Does the Earth go “straight through”?

Re: Adding Pylontech battery ….

Hi,

Yes, I’ve tried all that & it’s a master unit- Lux CAN cable into the master battery. Thing that confuses me is that it doesn’t seem to recognise it as a single battery system?

Adding Pylontech battery ….

Hi, My new US2000C batteries have arrived - to add to my stack of US2000 units. All wired in, but the although the US2000 units seem to see the US2000C unit, it doesn’t look like my LuxPower unit sees the US2000C. Even with a single battery config. There’s scope for confusion with the DIP switches, ...

Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

Thanks chaps 👍 Can you advise whether the two outputs need to be treated totally separately? That’s what I’m assuming - i.e NOT joined together? I’ll have a ponder. Cheers I’ve found the “Power Backup” setting in the Application Setting area of the website. Is this the same as the “Power Backup Ena...

Re: Solar Edge P404 optimiser issue

Ok, so an update as I think I’ve solved the problem. I was lucky in that my supplier has given me a couple of leftover panels to help with the fault-finding. It was all quite time consuming and luckily yesterday was fairly sunny and not too windy - which all helps. By a process of elimination and lo...

LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

Hi, So, with all this talk of possible power cuts, I was wondering what I need to do re enabling the EPS outputs on my Lux units. I have a pair of ACS LXP 3600 ac coupled units, configured in master slave mode, each having their own stack of Pylontech batteries. I’m assuming that there will be confi...

Re: Solar Edge P404 optimiser issue

Ok an update. Firstly, I’ll be busy for the next couple of weeks so there will be zero progress on this & will explain why I’ve gone quiet. I’ve also had a sensible conversation with someone at SE. He assures me that the duo panels are compatible. On closer inspection it seems that the other 2 p...

Re: LuxPower - “balance” issue

Hi again, I emailed him, no reply as yet - BUT, I noticed both Lux units were offline this afternoon, odd I thought. Got them going again (unplugged/plugged LAN dongle) and then noticed, when it got dark, that my import had dropped from the 65W or so to a lot less, maybe 7W. So I suspect that the u...
