Hello,
We are switching from MasterVolt to Victron.
When i turn off my boat House mainswitch, i want to inverter also be in off. But if shore power is connect inverter/charger doesnt charge batteries.
I need to do it manualy.
Any one know how to make it like MasterVolt?
What victron inverter are you using?
Multiplus-2
You can use the switch on the multiplus itself to put it in charge only mode or get a control panel to do it from a more convenient location, see manual.
You might be able to automate this with node-red and a GX device or maybe with VEconfigure using the inputs on the multiplus.
I am using GX devices. Panel is not good for our boats
so there is only manual ON/OFF solution. Because we tried to configure whit Victron specialist
There is a remote port on the multi you can use to switch it on/off - you could use a relay for this.
Alternatively there is a softswitch on the GX under device settings, where you can change it locally via the console or remotely via VRM.
It is also fully controllable by nodered, where you can create whatever logic you like to switch the system.
If it isn’t charging, it sounds more like a configuration issue. The system needs to be configured to your requirements via Victron connect, remote configure or veconfigure.
if you use remote port- inverter/charger shuts down completly
Main idea is when you turn off house mainswitch inverter should turn off also. But if shore power is connected you turn off charger also
I have tried these things.
And i cant found setings to configure it.
The system is a converter, it switches between charge and invert nodes as needed but it cannot be both simultaneously.
You can force it to ether switch between charge/invert automatically as required (ON), charger only (passing through power from mains), invert only (grid is dropped) or completely OFF.
Those are the modes it supports, to customise swapping between these modes will require you to use automation.
so there is no automatic function to do it.
And there is no solution otherwise i need to cut wires from this three-way switch. Its very inconvenient.
everything is good for us whit Victron but this remote switch is not.
