Error Code 67

Good Morning all,

Is there any workaround for the error #67 on Victron. I have a couple of installations showing this error when the grid is not available and then resetting the system after a short while. Customers are then left in the dark during the reset and this creates confusion and uncertainty.

Does Victron have a sollution?

Regards,

Jaco

As per Victron documentation

6.1.22. Error 67 - BMS Connection lost

The charger is configured to be controlled by a BMS, but it does not receive any control messages from a BMS. The charger stopped charging, as a safety precaution.

This Error only shows when there is solar power available and thus the Solarcharger is ready to initiate charging. It does not show at night. And in case there is a permanent problem, the error will raise in the morning and clear at night, and so forth.

Check the connection between the charger and the BMS.

How to reconfigure the charger to standalone mode

Our Chargers and Solarchargers automatically configure themselves to be BMS-controlled when they are connected to one; either direct or via a GX Device. And that setting is semi-permanent: power cycling the charger will not reset it.

Here is what needs to be done to make the charger operate in stand-alone mode again, ie. not controlled by a BMS:

  • VE.Can solar chargers, go into the setup menu, and change setting ‘BMS’ from ‘Y’ to ‘N’ (setup item 31).

  • VE.Direct solar chargers, reset the charger to factory defaults with VictronConnect, and then reconfigure it.

Can you maybe share some details of the install? Errors are generally setup or installation, and you've given us nothing to work with.
