Does the hardware on/off switch from a Multi RS erases the previous set state of the software on/off setting?
A puzzling situation in the case of an Multi RS:
-
You turn off the solar switch
-
Go on Cerbo at Multi RS section and turn it OFF from the Switch section. (software OFF)
-
Turn OFF the Multi RS from the main switch (hardware OFF)
-
Turn off the AC-IN
-
Leave the battery on, because this is how Cerbo is powered, so the Cerbo is on all the time.
-
Now, after a while turn ON the hardware switch.
-
The inverter boots, starts, but the state of the inverter is now ON !!
Shouldn’t it keep the previous set state of OFF, set by the software switch on Cerbo at step 2 ???
Or the hardware switch will delete any state of the software switch?
In the case of NOT using a Cerbo like device makes sense, but in that case you can’t set it to soft OFF either.
So, in case of using a Cerbo like device and set it to soft OFF AND Cerbo remains ON, so the Multi RS remains under External control all the time, shouldn’t it keep the old state?
Lucky me that I have realized that the AC-OUT is now live, before working on it, because I was under the impression that it will remain OFF because of that software OFF…
Maybe this should be specified somewhere in the manual… If it is, apologies, I missed it.
It only says this below, which can be misleading, but then again, it refers to the software OFF from the VictronConnect app, not from Cerbo…
