Not sure if you try to update it again it should wipe everything and start as scratch

No, sorry that's not my answer.

the firmware update has changed the config file. Uploading the old file has no effect.

so "what is this code and who has it"?

Thanks for your response.

@smclover@hotmail.com The latest firmware split the UK G98 / G99 gridcodes into two separate entries, which I suspect have triggered this given changing a code once set, will always require the code for ANY subsequent changes. Officially the code can be obtained from your point of purchase (reseller / distributor) or possibly from Victron support.

Thanks all,

My supplier didn't know what I was talking about and tried to sell me a USB interface.

But another "Lovely" supplier (who I will not mention) listened to what I said, and emailed it.

The now broken config file is downloaded.

Enter the Grid Code, (it had changed G98 into two)

Upload and download it again.

Now the "repaired" file is useable.

Set ESS.

All working, Hooray

KEEP THE GRID CODE SAFE.


All the best.


BTW I've changed my supplier.

Hi SMCLOVER, I’ve got the same problem but can’t find the code from Google, it just comes up with Victron community pages, any help would be good, thanks.

Search for "If needed, the grid password is", first link for me points to a Victron training where it is mentioned.
