Morningstar USB MeterBus Adapter Instructions
The USB MeterBus Adapter (model: UMC-1) converts the Morningstar MeterBus RJ11 electrical interface to a standard USB 2.0 interface which allows communication between a PC and applicable Morningstar charge controllers or inverters *. The UMC-1 is required for programming custom charging set-points and logging data using Morningstar's MSView PC software. The UMC-1 is also required for communication with any 3rd party hardware that supports MODBUSTM communication.
* Morningstar controllers or inverters that only have a MeterBus connection , i.e. no serial or other communications port. This includes the Sunsaver MPPT, SunSaver DUO, and Suresine products.
