- VE.Direct products with RS232
The VE.Direct to RS232 interface is a Victron accessory for joining two kinds of port. It connects products that have a VE.Direct connection to equipment with an RS232 connection. Victron publishes a safety certificate against IEC 60335-1 that covers 19 interfaces, along with a declaration of conformity for its interfaces. Cable length and other physical details are not given, so confirm them separately before relying on it.
Our take
The job here is narrow: it links a VE.Direct port on one side to RS232 on the other, so it only helps where one device speaks the first and the receiving gear speaks the second. Check both ports before choosing it.
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.
