VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle

2. Installation

In this section:

  • Connect the dongle directly to the VE.Direct port of a compatible Victron product.

  • Ensure that the compatible Victron product has been powered up so that the dongle is also powered.

  • On power-up, the blue LED will blink, and the red LED will quickly flash. The red LED will give a short flash to confirm that the red LED is functional.

  • Connect to the dongle using the VictronConnect app.

  • If a firmware update is required, the blue and red LED will blink fast in an alternating fashion. The VictronConnect app will automatically update the firmware.

  • If a firmware update is not required, the blue LED will slowly blink and the red LED is off

  • Once the VictronConnect App has established a successfully connection with the dongle (and the firmware was successfully updated), the blue LED will be on and the red LED will be off.

  • Quite often, the firmware of the connected Victron product will also be updated on first connection.

Notice

It is not possible to extend the 1.5m VE.Direct cable.
