Updating VE.Bus firmware, using VEFlash

Warning: not for end-users

Important! Do not underestimate the complexity of updating firmware on a VE.Bus product (Inverters, Multis and Quattros). This document is intended for dealers and other Victron-trained installers and support-engineers.

After the firmware update, all settings will be lost, including Assistants and parallel or three-phase configuration. Reconfiguring a complex VE.Bus system needs training and experience. There is no end-user support for this.

Notes

  • To update a VE.bus product you need VEFlash.exe. It comes with the VE Configure Tools, available for download on our software page.
  • New firmware files are available from Victron Professional.
  • To select the right file, look at the firmware version which is in your product now. Look for a seven digit number, for example 2654153. It is printed on a sticker on the control board. The first four digits indicate the model, and need to be the same.
  • There are different firmware types available, read our PDF VE.Bus firmware versions explained carefully to select the best firmware for your system. For recent products, use the latest 400 version.
  • Always use the latest version of VEFlash. It will automatically check online for updates on startup
  • When updating parallel or three-phase installation, update each unit separately
  • After updating firmware, all settings will be reset to factory defaults. The unit will be reset to stand alone mode and any Assistant settings will be removed.
