Technical Specifications Parameter Value Cable Length 2 Metres Connection Type 1 RS485 Connection Type 2 RJ45 Compatible Controllers Photonic Universe PU1024BW Series SKU BW2MT50 System Integration & Advanced Control This RS485 to RJ45 cable enables comprehensive control and monitoring capabilities for your Photonic Universe solar charge controller. By connecting to a remote display or Wi-Fi module, users can gain deep insight into their solar system's operation and fine-tune settings for optimal performance and battery longevity. Parameter Category Adjustable / Monitored Settings Battery Management Amend battery type and capacity; select charging volts for different stages (e.g., Equalise, Boost, Float); specify duration of each charging stage; create user-defined battery types. Load Control Personalise 'load' settings, such as setting timers for lighting, fans, or pumps. System Monitoring Monitor voltage, current (for solar panel and load separately), and battery state of charge. Typical Applications Application Description Caravans & Motorhomes Enables remote monitoring and adjustment of solar charging for leisure vehicles, often used with folding solar kits. Boats & Marine Systems Ideal for marine environments where waterproof controllers are essential, allowing easy access to system data. Off-Grid Installations Provides a convenient way to manage and optimise smaller off-grid solar setups, such as sheds or remote cabins. System Safety & Protection While this cable is a communication accessory, it is designed to connect to Photonic Universe waterproof solar charge controllers, such as the PU1024BW, which incorporate multiple built-in protection functions. These controllers feature safeguards against over-charge, over-discharge, overheating, and short circuits, ensuring the safety and longevity of your battery and solar system. Common Questions What is this cable primarily used for? This 2m RS485 to RJ45 cable connects a compatible Photonic Universe waterproof solar charge controller to a remote display or Wi-Fi module, enabling monitoring and programming of your solar system. Which solar charge controllers are compatible? It is specifically designed for use with Photonic Universe PU1024BW series waterproof solar charge controllers. What kind of parameters can be monitored? You can monitor various charging parameters such as voltage, current (separately for solar panel and load), and battery state of charge. Can I change settings using this cable? Yes, connecting to a remote meter or Wi-Fi module unlocks exclusive settings, allowing you to amend battery type/capacity, select charging volts, specify charging stage durations, and personalise load settings. Installation Notes Ensure the solar charge controller is powered off before connecting or disconnecting the cable. Connect the RS485 end to the designated port on your compatible Photonic Universe solar charge controller. Connect the RJ45 end to your remote display meter or Wi-Fi module. Refer to the instruction manuals for both your solar charge controller and the remote display/Wi-Fi module for specific connection procedures. Ensure connections are secure to maintain reliable data transmission. Before You Buy Verify that your existing solar charge controller is a Photonic Universe PU1024BW series model or explicitly listed as compatible. Confirm that your remote display meter or Wi-Fi module has an RJ45 port for connection. Check the required cable length for your installation to ensure 2 metres is sufficient. This cable is for data communication; it does not carry primary power to or from the solar array or battery. Always verify product specifications and compatibility with your existing solar system components before purchase. All information is based on verified manufacturer data and typical use cases.
