The Interface MK3-USB from Victron Energy links VE.Bus equipment to a computer over USB. Its job is setup work: changing configuration and loading firmware updates from the computer. It is listed for Multi, MultiGrid, MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II and Quattro units, for the VE.Bus BMS V2, and for inverters that have a VE.Bus communication port.
Our take
The MK3-USB is a service tool rather than a monitor: its stated job is configuration and firmware updates from a computer. The list of VE.Bus products it connects, from MultiPlus to Quattro and the VE.Bus BMS V2, is the thing to check against your gear.
From our buying guide
On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.
Check before you buy:
- 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
