Orion XS - wrong data?!?!

Very strange this!

How can it be that the Orion XS just works and delivers amps to the battery (see photo), but that these amps are directly ‘consumed’ by a user.

The only one that consumes something is the refrigerator, but never that much ampere.

The fact that the Orion XS works and delivers, can also be seen from the temperature (see photo), but I do not understand why this does not flow into the battery.


My educated guess is that your shunt used for the is not wired correctly and is not counting the current from the Orion. My guess is the negative wire from the hull or chassis or starter battery is connected direct to your house batteries rather than the system side of the shunt. See the linked FAQ.

The DC current is a calculated value, it is not measured. The software takes the battery current, plus the measured chargers, less the measure d use in the inverter and what is left is used by the DC loads. See the linked FAQ.
