Victron energy Skylla-i panel is a remote panel designed to work with all Skylla-i chargers.
The Skylla-i Control allows you to alter the charge current and see the system status. The Victron energy Skylla-i charger uses the VE.CAN bus. Connecting the Skylla-i panel to your Skylla-i charger is a simple procedure. Connect the two devices with a regular UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable with two RJ45 connectors. Make sure that the two RJ45 bus terminators are in place at both ends
. The Skylla-i panel comes complete with both RJ45 bus terminators. Both the Skylla-i charger and the panel have two RJ45 sockets which are internally connected, you can connect the cable to either socket.
Operation When the bus is powered-up the Skylla-i panel briefly lights up all items, next to the software the version number is displayed after which it will show the status of the connected Skylla-i charger.
When the Skylla-i charger is powered off (standby) the panel will also shutdown (all lights off) to reduce power consumption. When the Skylla-i charger is operating, the status LEDs show the actual state of charge. The table below shows the possible LED indications during the normal charge operation.
