Overview › RS485

RS485 port

A purpose built USB RS485 cable can be plugged into the RS485 port located on the inside the inverter. This is an RS485 cable with a specific RJ45 pinout that can be purchased in our online store.

If you buy any random USB RS485 RJ45 cable on Amazon, Ebay, Takealot, etc. which doesn't specifically state that it supports the Deye inverter, it will most likely not work.

The labelling of the RS485 monitoring port is sometimes not intuitive. Please see the list below for the correct port.
