INVERTER GUIDE

+ SETTINGS + COMMUNICATION + TROUBLESHOOTING

The Kodak Off-Grid inverters are fully compatible with the Hubble range of batteries.
The following field guide will assist with the correct battery settings you should use.

​

For further detailed information ensure you read the manual of the supplied battery regarding setup and installation instructions.

​

WARNING

​

Working with high-voltage systems is dangerous. Do not attempt to modify your inverter and battery setup unless you are certain you understand the risk. Speak to a qualified electrician if you are unsure.

PIN LAYOUTS & CLOUDLINK

PLEASE NOTE

Axpert type inverters require a Cloudlink to access full CAN-BUS communication with a Hubble Energy battery, it is however not required, and the system will be functional on user defined voltage control.

CLOUDLINK

The Cloudlink will connect to a Kodak Inverter via:

 

Cloudlink’s (Serial/RJ12 Port) to the Kodak Inverter (RS232 Port) 

(Black Cable) - Serial/RJ12 to RJ45 (450mm) cable.

 

The Cloudlink will connect to the Battery via:

 

Cloudlink’s (CAN Port) to the Battery (CAN Port)

(Blue Cable) - Standard RJ45 to RJ45 (1500mm) cable.

RJ45 PIN LAYOUTS

Ensure that the clip is pointed away from you when counting the pins.

HUBBLE DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

FOR MULTIPLE BATTERY INSTALLATION

For correct setup and communication, each battery needs a unique serial address to communicate. If you are only using one battery in your setup, consider this the master battery and ensure you set it to address 1.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are there communications between the Kodak and the Hubble Energy batteries?

The Hubble range of batteries communicate to inverters using the CAN port. The Kodak does not have a CAN bus communications port. Although it does have a Modbus port, we do not support Modbus. CAN bus communication is optional for Hubble and Axpert and the Hubble range of batteries work perfectly without communications. This is made possible by our internal BMS DC/DC converter and through hardware instead of communications. Thus, making the Hubble a great fit for inverters without CAN bus.

If you would like full communications between the Kodak and the Hubble battery, you can invest the Hubble Cloudlink device. The Cloudlink will enable remote monitoring, 2-way BMS integration and remote management of the Axpert through your cloud account. From our side we recommend installing a Cloudlink device with the Hubble on a Kodak so you can monitor, control, and troubleshoot your solar solution remotely.

How do you set up multiple batteries?

You will have to set dip switch settings per battery to give them a unique address. You also must connect the included RJ45 battery link cables into the "Battery Link" port of each battery. Ensure your master battery dip switch 1 is on, 2,3,4 is OFF.  Only the master battery CAN Bus will be enabled. You can then connect the Hubble Cloudlink into the CAN port of the master battery for communications to work.

Do I have to use the communication battery link cables if I don’t want to monitor or have communications?

Yes.
