I agree, the AES has a much friendlier voltage range. Thanks for
sharing, Dave. I also do not use the RE Optics, I've moved away from
Outback as well, after having issues with the FXR line, tech support,
and wiring in the tiny enclosure that comes with the Radians. Had
decent luck with Magnum, but always room for improvement too. Honestly,
nothing now is that much better than the old Trace SW line, and that had
plenty of its own issues.
Still waiting for inverter comm to catch up with the rest of the world,
and be a simple plug and play, connect via blue tooth, set all the
parameters in a Windows/ easy to navigate screen with tech manuals all
accessible right in the app's help menu........

Hi Ray,
I guess it is not my last :) I attached AES battery. Fortress is
similar. AES quickstart on Schneider is program the time and date for
config. You do not need a computer as the SCP can be used. Both are
closed loop BMS to inverter/charger/mppt on xw and csw. I am hoping
Outback will do something like this.
I have helped quite a few wrenches with getting the Insight monitoring
going remotely. It is not any more difficult than optics which I run
also. It is not easy, and the quickstart must be followed exactly.
Attached a screen from 5 minutes back. It has been extremely reliable
also.
Below is the case. My guess as to why this takes so long is that it is
a UL cert issue for Schneider. Cost quite a bit of money for the
testing or to change the range of LBCO. My guess only.

A new case was just created using On Line – CIB Tech Support Schneider
Electric Industries SAS.
Case Message:865xxxx LBCO max is 48 vdc, needs to be higher for some
batteries like simplyphi.

Appreciate forwarding this to Schneider. So you never had any issues
programming their monitoring system or getting it connected to the
internet via the customer's router?
What is the LBCO recommended for the Li+ batteries you are using?
Default on many inverters for FLA is 42 or 44 volts, so I didn't
realize any Li+ batteries could work correctly that low.
