Altering AES parameters from CerboGX and Phoenix 12V/1200 inverter

The Phoenix 12/1200VA inverter is connected to my CerboGX via VE.Direct connections. I wish to alter the factory settings of the ECO mode, both longer dwell times between checking and wattage start level. Sorry, but I cannot find where in the Cerbo setting menus this can be done. I can toggle ECO to ON to OFF from the Cerbo. Any help would be very appreciated.

Best regards,

Roger

Detailed settings like that are available using VictronConnect, they are not available from the CerboGX menus.

Now I am confused further?? I am connecting to my CerboGX from the VictronConnect App on my MacBook using the Remote Console on LAN. A device list on VictronConnect shows only the CerboGX device which is connected to the Phoenix Inverter 12V/1200 via VE.Direct cable. VictronConnect does not show the Phoenix Inverter as a separate device. I have SuperUser credentials for the CerboGX if that matters.

From VictronConnect you choose the VRM tab rather than the Local tab and then select your site, you probably only have one site.

Then you will see a page like this with your devices on the right:

Then select your device and you will be presented with the overview page.

Then you can click on the settings cog on the top right for all of the settings for your device.


Remember, the VictronConnect Bluetooth connection to the CerboGX it's self is only for configuring the network settings as part of the commissioning process of the CerboGX.

To change any of the setting on the inverter to need to plug the VE.direct cable directly into your computer running VictronConnect , not using the Lan on the CerboGX .

oops !!!

I think you will need a VE.direct to usb cable or a VE.direct to Bluetooth adapter to change the settings.
