I have the SB2512-HV, I don't thing you can you can alter using their IPN Pro remote?

I'll have another look.

No, it's a cheaper crippled model, the SB2512iX-HV included the IPN Network interface

These Victron units are not expensive, https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-...150-85-150-100

If your total panelage is under 250W the 15A version is about $120.

Very flexible, robust, fully configurable, monitor from your smartphone via bluetooth

Keeping the batteries charged and the refrigerator cold is worth having a power outlet on the dock. We're not talking ice boxes here from a half century ago.

I have 480w divided between the two regs.
I'll be look in the victron chargers when/if I upgrade batteries next year.

Thanks John.

I think all the 2512 units have an rg45 style phone jack connector on the side. You connect the IPN remote with a telephone cable.

They do but I think it only enables you to connect to the basic display, to adjust the charge profiles I think you need the iX version, I think???

I'd like to keep them as they fit well on my panel, wires enter through the back and the fronts a good heat sink but neat and tidy. If I could just adjust absorb up abit I'd be happy.

I've sent a email away for clarity.

BlueSky tech support has been pretty good when I've had questions. Let us know what they say.

john61ct · 25-12-2017, 06:34

What I said came straight from the manual's intro, PDF available online.

Hi Paul, Bluesky got back to me and yes I am able to adjust the charge profiles.

daletournier · 26-12-2017, 19:43

Also Paul, Ryan from Bluesky actually offered to mail out a IPN-ProRemote on loan for me to adjust my regs, no charge, now that's pretty awesome service!

I'm in the Seychelles so not actually possible. I'll buy one.

Wow that is stellar CS!

So do you have the X model version, or was the manual misleading?

No, I don't have the x version. I also interpreted the manual the same way you did.

I've just sent another email of just for extra clarity. But I did tell him it was the basic i not iX.

"Yes, If you had an IPNPRO remote you can change the charge voltages on those controllers. Once programmed, all changes are saved in nonvolatile memory, so the remote display would not need to be permanently attached."
