Hey my name is Nick and I just finished building a campervan with a electricalsystem mostly from Victron.
I am using a 200Ah Victron smart battery with a BMS, Multiplus and an Orion TR Smart.
The Orion is not acting as I expected it to do though.
Specifically the delayed start voltage delay (set to 120 s )and the input voltage lockout. (Set to 12.5V)
The problem is that the Orion starts charging the house battery after only 5 seconds every time I start the car and also now when the voltage of the starter battery is down to 12.1 the Orion still charges the house at 26A.
Any ideas what to do?
Hi nick, you might connect the h terminal of the TR to ignition, disconnect l.
And take out the voltage controlled software management
Hey and thanks for your answer Ludo.
That could probably work for the delayed start problems but I am using the terminal so the BMS can turn the Orion off In case there are some problems..
Do you have any other ideas?
Connect a relais in between wire the ignition over the contacts
Thanks for the help!
Finally got it to work by changing the settings a bit.
I had it set to “smart alternator” since mine is, but then the individual settings are made for you and the “start voltage” was set too low (14 volt) so it starts charging immediately when it goes over 14, since the starter battery is so low on power the alternator is producing 14.6 volts.
I put it to “user defined” instead and the start voltage to 15.
