Hello !
I just had new Phoenix Inverter Smart installed on my boat along with VE Super Pack lithium batteries and Solar controllers and BMV-712. I’m planning to buy Cerbo GX and connect every component to it. I understand that VE Bus (RJ45) cable should be used from inverter to cerbo gx - could someone help me understand which port on the Inverter this cable should be connected to ? Seems there are 3 ports on the bottom, not sure which should be used.
Thank you,
Alex
What Phoenix do you have exactly? (pictures?)
I don't see any VE.bus ports at the new 1600/2000/3000VA Phoenix Smart.

They all have a VE.direct port.
The "old" models Phoenix and Phoenix Compact have two VE.bus ports and it doesn't matter which one you use.

And I don't know any Victron device with more than 2 VE.bus ports.
Thank you - I was confused by one of the diagrams for Color Control GX. Need to buy another VE Direct cable :)
