4. Setup and Installation

The EPEVER BLE-RJ45-A module connects directly to your compatible EPEVER solar charge controller via an RJ45 communication port. No external power supply is needed as the module draws power from the controller's communication port.

1. Locate the RJ45 communication port on your EPEVER solar charge controller.
2. Connect one end of the standard network cable (parallel line) to the RJ45 port on the EPEVER BLE-RJ45-A module.
3. Connect the other end of the network cable to the RJ45 communication port on your EPEVER solar charge controller.
4. Once connected, the 'Power' indicator on the BLE-RJ45-A module should illuminate, indicating it is receiving power. The 'Link' indicator will show communication status.

5. Operating Instructions (Mobile APP)

To monitor and modify parameters, you will need to use the official EPEVER mobile application. Ensure your mobile device's GPS/location services are enabled for the app to function correctly.

5.1 App Download and Connection

1. Download the App: Search for "Epever Pair" in your mobile device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS). Download and install the official "Epever Pair" application. Avoid other Epever-related apps like "(li)epever" as they may be buggy or incompatible.
2. Open the App: Launch the "Epever Pair" application on your mobile device.
3. Enter BLE Connection Page: On the app's main screen, click the "Local" icon to proceed to the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection page. Note that BLE does not support cloud functionality.
4. Search for Modules: Click the "BLE" icon within the app to automatically search for available Bluetooth modules.
5. Connect to Module: From the list of found modules, click on your module's name (e.g., "HN_00900") to establish a connection.
