1. General
The Skylla-i panel is a remote panel designed to work with all Skylla-i charger models. The
Skylla-i charger uses the VE.CAN bus.
Connecting the Skylla-i panel to your Skylla-i charger is a simple procedure. Connect the two
devices with a regular UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable with two RJ45 connectors. Make
sure that the two RJ45 bus terminators are in place at both ends. The Skylla-i panel comes
complete with both RJ45 bus terminators. Both the Skylla-i charger and the panel have two
RJ45 sockets which are internally connected, you can connect the cable to either socket.
Operation
When the bus is powered-up the Skylla-i panel briefly lights up all items, next the software
version number is displayed after which it will show the status of the connected Skylla-i
charger.
When the Skylla-i charger is powered off (standby) the panel will also shutdown (all lights off)
to reduce power consumption.
When the Skylla-i charger is operating, the status LEDs show the actual state of charge. The
table below shows the possible LED indications during normal charge operation.
