Orion Tr smart remote input inactive

image.jpgI have a new Orion tr smart 12/12-18 connected between a lead acid type charger and a new lifepo4 battery. The green on/off led is flashing and the app is saying “charging disabled “ and flashes every 5 seconds “remote input disabled”. The remote link is in place and if I remove it, it stops flashing and shows a steady “remote input disabled “. Should I just return the unit as faulty or am I missing something?

Pretty sure that your charger is looking for some battery voltage before it will output current.

Perhaps hook up a battery and feed that into the Orion.?

You should be able to connect with Victron connect what settings have you made? Screen shots of the engine on off, input voltage and battery parameters would help

Thanks for your quick responses. It looks like it was problem with using the charger as an input. It was showing 14.6V input in the app, but when I connected to the car battery it worked perfectly.
