I just bought a new Orion-Tr Smart 12-12 30 and it smells like burnt electronics fresh out of the box. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?
@DMellott that would concern me. I haven’t experienced that with any Victron equipment.
I noticed this with a distributor and lynx shunt this year. Think it’s the type of plastic or recycled plastic on the casings making that bad smell.
First off did the box have any security tags/tape on or did it look like it had been opened?
Then examining the unit, does it look like it’s been used?
Could all be ok but better to be safe than sorry.
Then type your serial number into the link below and check where it came from.
