4.4. Setup & monitoring with VictronConnect
This chapter will help you get the most out of your Orion XS using the
battery charger.
For more general information on the
firmware, see the
VictronConnect

4.4.1. Setup

VictronConnect allows to change or adjust various settings of the Orion XS. This is possible through the settings option, which
can be accessed by clicking on the cog wheel icon in the top right corner of the screen. The setting options vary depending on the
selected operating mode.

4.4.2. Charger mode settings

When in Charger Mode, these are the available settings:
Function: Allows for the choice between "Charger" or "Power supply" mode.
When Charger mode is selected, the Orion XS will follow the charge algorithm.
For more information about the charge algorithm, please read the
section.
Charger enabled/disabled: The charger is enabled by default. Use the switch
to disable the charger if necessary.
Input current: Limits the maximum current drawn from the input source. This
is particularly important to avoid overloading an alternator or other weak input
sources.
The value can be adjusted between 1A and 50A in 0.1A increments.
Output current: Limits the maximum output current.
The value can be adjusted between 1A and 50A in 0.1A increments.
Battery settings: Allows to change the battery settings in order to adjust the
absorption voltage, float voltage, and others to fit the battery being charged;
see the
Charger mode - Battery settings [16]
Engine shutdown detection: Allows three voltage limits and a delay time to
be selected. One voltage limit is used to determine whether the engine has
stopped, and two are used to detect whether the engine is running (again).
Normally, a minimum difference of 0.2V is used for optimal operation. If desired,
the protection can still be disabled by the user. For more information, please
read the
Engine shutdown detection [12]
input voltage lock-out [18]
sections.
Input voltage lock-out: Allows to choose between two thresholds, one to
set the lock-out value and another for the restart value. Normally, a minimum
difference of 0.5V is recommended for proper operation. The protection can still
be disabled if desired by the user. For more information about the input voltage
lock-out, please read the
Engine shutdown detection [12]
