Victron Products Your system includes components from Victron’s “Smart” energy line with Bluetooth connectivity in place of a physical remote display. This includes the SmartShunt, MPPT SmartSolar Controllers, and the Cerbo GX. Your MultiPlus Inverter does not have Bluetooth capabilities. The SmartShunt is monitoring your battery state and tracking how much power is flowing to or from the battery bank, giving you valuable information regarding your State-of-Charge (SOC).

Victron Products Default pincode is 000000. After connecting, the pincode can be changed by going into “Settings” ( ), select “Menu” ( ), “Product Info”, and here you can change the product name and pincode. You will need to “forget” the device from your device list. If you are not sure how to do this, a link will be displayed on your phone or tablet during the process that you can follow to learn how.

Victron Products This system is utilizing the SmartSolar MPPT 100|50 Solar Controller. A Solar Controller charges a lower nominal-voltage battery from a higher nominal voltage PV array. The Solar Controller will charge the battery with a current up to its rated output. The SmartSolar MPPT 100|50 Solar Controller has a maximum of 50 amps output.

Victron Products The settings on the SmartShunt need to be accurate in order to provide proper data regarding the Consumed Amp-hours, State of Charge, and Time Remaining readouts. If you find your readings are off, review your settings to ensure they are correct. All settings are recommended by Dragonfly Energy.

Batteries Your batteries are equipped with built in battery heaters to ensure cold climate does not stop your batteries from charging. The heaters are enabled or disabled by a lighted switch inside of the coach or on the iN-Command Display Commander’s Battery Heat Trigger. When the switch is turned on, the heaters will automatically activate when the internal temperature of the battery drops below approximately 35°F (1.6°C) and will automatically shut off...
