Updating VE.Bus firmware, using VEFlash

Warning: This operation must only be carried out by Victron-trained Engineers, Installers and Dealers, and must not be attempted by system Owners and Users.

Updating firmware on a VE.Bus product (Inverters, Multis and Quattros) has system-critical implications:

  • All settings will be lost.
  • Assistants and parallel or three-phase configuration will be lost.

Setting up a VE.Bus system requires both training and experience. We offer no direct support for un-trained individuals carrying-out reconfiguration.

Notes

  • To update a VE.bus product you need VEFlash.exe which you will find in VE Configure Tools, available for download on our software page.
  • New firmware files are available from Victron Professional.
  • To select the right file, check the firmware version which is in the product now. Look for a seven digit number (eg. 2654153) which you'll find printed on a sticker on the control board. The first four digits indicate the model, and must match the first four digits of the file you intend to upload.
  • 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 their factory defaults. The unit will be in stand-alone mode, and any Assistant settings will be removed.
