Use these VE.Can to CAN-bus cables to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery to a GX device.
The side labeled 'CAN-bus BMS' plugs into the battery. The other side, labeled 'VE.Can' must be plugged into either the VE.Can port of the GX device, or the BMS-Can port.
Both port types (VE.Can and BMS-Can) on a GX Device can be configured for use with a CAN-bus BMS connected third party battery.
For configuration, see the manual specific to the brand of battery you are using.
In some cases it might be needed to make the cable at the location. Find below the pin-outs. Make sure to very carefully test the cable after crimping it. Self-made cables are very often the causes of very hard to diagnose problems.
