This is the equipment I have:
Lynx Power In, Lynx Shunt, Lynx Distributor
48v 230Ah LA Battery Bank
Multiplus II 48/5000/70-50
Smart Solar 250/100
Orion 48/12-20
Cerbo GX
8000VA Generator
(including the full list as I dont know what is relevant)
Connections:
batteries -> powerin -> shunt -> distributor -> orion
Problem:
When load increases on the orion, the DC Power value on the Cerbo goes negative and and the dots show power going INTO the batteries instead of out of the batteries.
I have 'Has DC System' enabled in the cerbo.
Is my setup correct, or should the orion be connected before the shunt (this would seem counter intuitive as the shunt would no longer be able to monitor SOC.
I am trying to get the DC Power box to indicate the load drawn by the Orion.
PS where do you get the pictures of the Victron gear for the wiring diagrams i see posted up in other questions?
Thanks
