The Charger Is Disabled; Batteries Are Undercharged; Too Much Dc Load; Battery Charge Voltages Are Too Low - Victron energy Orion XS 12/12-50A Manual

There are several ways to activate via remote on/off.
Use modes of the remote on/off:
• ON when the L and H terminals are interconnected via a switch or a relay contact
• ON when the L terminal is pulled to battery minus (ON switch level < 6V)
• ON when the H terminal is high (ON switch level > 4V)
General remote on/off terminal check
1. Check if the connector with the wire loop is present.
2. Check if the connector has been inserted all the way in.
3. Check that the wire loop is making electrical contact.
Be aware that if an external device is connected to the remote terminal, the wire loop has been removed, and
one or two wires will be connected between the remote connector and the external device.

5.1.7. The charger is disabled

Check the VictronConnect app to make sure the charger has been enabled.

5.2. Batteries are undercharged

This section deals with possible reasons why the Orion XS is not sufficiently charging the batteries and the steps you can take to
check or remedy the situation.
Some signs of undercharged batteries:
• The battery takes too long to charge (> 10hrs).
• The batteries are not fully charged at the end of the charge cycle.
• The charge current from the Orion XS is less than expected.

5.2.1. Too much DC load

The Orion XS not only charges the batteries but also provides power for the system's loads.
The battery will only be charged when the power available exceeds the power being drawn by the loads in the system, like lights,
fridge, inverter, and so on.
If the system battery monitor is correctly installed and configured, you can see how much current is going in (or out) of the battery,
and the Orion XS will tell you how much current it is generating.
A positive sign alongside the current reading means that current is flowing into the battery, while a negative sign indicates that
current is being drawn from the battery.

5.2.2. Battery charge voltages are too low

If the battery voltages have been set too low, the batteries will not receive a full charge.
Check if the battery charge voltages (absorption and float) are set correctly. Consult the battery manufacturer's information for the
correct charge voltages.

5.2.3. Battery is almost full

The Orion XS will reduce its charge current when the battery is almost full.
If the battery's state of charge is unknown, and the current is reducing while the engine is running, it can mistakenly be interpreted
as the Orion XS being faulty.
The first current reduction takes place at the end of the absorption stage when the battery is approximately 80% charged.
During the absorption phase, when the battery is between 80% and 100% charged, the current is further reduced.
