It's the tool installers reach for when configuring or updating firmware on Victron's MultiPlus and Quattro ranges through VEConfigure and VEFlash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtocol conversion\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Bus to RS232 for direct PC connectivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e, works with Victron VE.Bus inverters and inverter\/chargers, including MultiPlus and Quattro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftware support\u003c\/strong\u003e, enables configuration via VEConfigure and firmware updates via VEFlash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 40g, easy to keep in a tool kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdentifiers\u003c\/strong\u003e, SKU ASS030120210, GTIN 8719076019404.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRS232 remains the standard interface for VEConfigure and VEFlash, and the MK2.2b handles the VE.Bus side of that connection. Installers use it to set system parameters, adjust charge curves, configure parallel or three-phase multi-unit systems, and push firmware updates in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaptops and modern PCs without a native RS232 port will need a separate USB-to-RS232 adapter alongside this interface. The MK2.2b only performs the VE.Bus-to-RS232 conversion; it does not provide USB connectivity itself, and it is not a substitute for the VE.Bus Smart Dongle or other wireless monitoring accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguring Victron MultiPlus and Quattro inverter\/chargers with VEConfigure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUploading firmware to VE.Bus devices with VEFlash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting up parallel and three-phase multi-unit systems needing direct serial configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField diagnostics and parameter adjustments by qualified installers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Victron MK2.2b VE.Bus to RS232 interface\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a configuration and programming tool rather than a permanent installation component, intended for use by qualified installers familiar with VE.Bus systems.
