Installation
Mounting Location
zInstall Renogy ONE on a vertical surface indoors protected from direct sunlight, high temperature,
and water. Make sure there is good ventilation.
zMounting Renogy ONE requires installation holes, so please make sure that you can drill holes on
the mounting position.
zTo ensure quality wireless communication for Renogy ONE, keep it away from metal objects at a
minimum distance of 200 mm or 7.88 inches.
zIf the auxiliary 12V power cable is not long enough for connecting Renogy ONE to your power
supply, you can re-select a mounting position or use an extension cable (≥ 22 AWG).
zWhen extending the 12V power cable, confirm the polarity of the cable before connecting it to
the auxiliary one. A reverse polarity contact will result in abnormal operations. The length of the
extension cable should not exceed 10 meters.
zEnsure that the base cover of Renogy ONE is firmly mounted to the wall to prevent it from falling off.

Tape the mounting template to
the selected mounting location,
and measure whether the 12V
power cable is long enough to
connect Renogy ONE to your
power supply.
If you do not need to extend the 12V power cable, please go to
Figure 1.1.4. If you need to extend the auxiliary 12V power cable,
cut it at any part of the auxiliary 12V power cable and strip off some
of the insulation.

zRenogy ONE can be connected to a power supply of up to 16V; otherwise Renogy ONE may be
damaged.
zIllustrations in this Quick Guide are based on scenarios where REGO 12V 400Ah Lithium Iron
Phosphate Battery and REGO 3 Ports 400A Battery Combiner Box are adopted as power supplies.
zMake sure the power supply is cut off before connection.
zPlease confirm the polarity of the power supply device before connection. A reverse polarity contact
will result in abnormal operations.

Communication Cables
Renogy ONE can communicate with Renogy energy devices in several ways:
1. Bluetooth wireless communication;
2. Wired communication based on RS485 protocol;
3. Wired communication based on RV-C protocol.
You can choose an appropriate communication method according to the actual situation. For RS485 or
RV-C communication, you need to pre-embed the communication cable in the installation hole.
The RV-C communication wiring varies depending on the connection network topology. Both backbone
and daisy chain topologies are supported.
If an RV-C bus is pre-installed in the RV, check the network wiring diagram provided by the RV
manufacturer and follow the backbone topology for the RV-C communication connections. For additional
support, please contact our customer service through renogy.com/contact-us/.
If an RV-C bus is not pre-installed in the RV, please follow the steps below.

External Load
Renogy ONE comes with 3 relays which can be connected to 3 DC loads (≤30V DC, ≤5A). You can
power on/off the loads via Panel Switches on Renogy ONE. For users who do not need external loads,
no adapter cable pre-embedding is required.

zFor your safety, please refer to the user manual of Renogy ONE at renogy.com for the recommended
wire gauge and length.
zPlease ensure that the working current of an external DC load is less than or equal to 5A; otherwise
Renogy ONE will be damaged.
zPlease ensure that the output current of the power supply for an external DC load is less than or
equal to 30V; otherwise Renogy ONE will be damaged.
zYou can connect an external DC load (output current ≤ 30 V) to the power supply on demand.
zMake sure the power supply is powered off before connection.
zPlease confirm the polarity of the power supply device before connection. A reverse polarity contact
will result in abnormal operations.
