Closed-loop communication matters – especially under load
The Discover Helios battery is a versatile workhorse, but closed-loop communication setup differs depending on the inverter platform. Whether you’re installing a rugged off-grid Selectronic system, a flexible Victron setup, or a cost-effective Deye/Noark hybrid, the battery must correctly drive the charging logic.
In this practical technical session, Gareth Thomas will demonstrate how to configure the Helios BMS to communicate seamlessly with DPA’s three core inverter platforms. He’ll break down the specific pinouts, dip-switches, and software settings required for each brand, helping installers standardise on one battery platform across multiple system types.
What we’ll cover
What we’ll cover
- Selectronic integration — using SP LINK to configure the Managed Battery assistant and verify CAN communication
- Deye and Noark setup — selecting the correct Lithium Mode ID and navigating inverter battery settings via the LCD
- Victron GX configuration — setting up Cerbo or Ekrano GX to recognise the Helios BMS and enforce DVCC (Distributed Voltage and Current Control)
- Cabling and pinouts — specific CAN cable requirements for each platform (Type A vs Type B)
- Troubleshooting — diagnosing communication faults and BMS timeouts across all three platforms
Who should attend
Installers working across residential, commercial, and industrial systems who want to confidently deploy Discover Helios across different inverter platforms without guesswork.
