• Use the pre made RJ45 cable supplied by GivEnergy in the inverter box. Plug the RJ45 cable in the BMS port of the inverter. On the other side White is positive and brown is negative

  

• The data cable running between the grid meter and the inverter needs to be wired as such ( make sure the RJ45 is the right way)
  
  On the inverter side (A RJ45 needs to be made here)
  Blue - 6
  Blue / white - 7
  
  on the grid meter side:
  Blue - 10
  Blue / white - 9
  
  The CT clamp is wired:
  White -1
  Black – 2
  
  The arrow should be pointing TOWARDS load

  

• GivEnergy AC charger connections:
  
  Grid Meter:
  RS+ Positive goes to 10
  RS- Negative goes to 9
  
  CT clamp:
  Solid black cable goes to LC-
  Black/White goes to LC+
  
  Battery BMS:

  Grid meter side:
  Pin 10 - A1
  Pin 9 - B1
  

  

• Are you stuggling to connect to the WIFI

  Yes

  No

• When connecting the dongle the objective is to make the dongle solid blue(therefore make sure the cover is off). If you are struggling to connect the dongle when following the instructions :
  
  1. Try doing the process on another device
  2. Reset the dongle by pressing the black button near the DIP switches
  3. Check the customer WIFI to make sure it is dual band and 2.4GHz
