Cables for Closed-Loop Communication Without LYNK II
The communication cable between the HELIOS ESS battery and the connected inverter-charger can differ depending on the pin outs used for CAN communication by the inverter-charger.
The following identifies the cable requirements for inverter-chargers the HELIOS ESS battery supports for closed-loop communication without using the LYNK II Communication Gateway.
