Summary of Contents for Victron Multiplus 48/800/9

  • Page 2 The REVOV R100 and B100 unit includes a Battery Management System (BMS) with each battery module. This interfaces with the Victron GX device via the CAN-bus system and can support multiple battery modules connected in parallel. Our 10.2 and 11.2kWh units have an external CAN BMS option which also supports parallel function and communications with Victron Can products.
  • Page 3 For proper operation, the system needs to be able to control the charge current either through REVOV battery parameters or through DVCC control within the system. Therefor it is recommended to use Victron 48V compatible MPPTs models with VE. Direct port or VE. Can for charging.

  • Page 10 Note: The pre-alarm setting is dependent on your preference and on-site specific requirements. You may wish for this to be activated earlier in an off-grid situation to allow time to start a backup generator. Note: It is advised to disable the Power Assist feature, should this feature be required for an installation please do so in consultation with the site installer.

    If its not visible, check: • GX device firmware version (update to latest version, v2.15 or later) • CAN-bus communication cabling between REVOV and Victron system. Make sure that it is in the right way around. • REVOV system is up and running (LEDs are on)
  • Page 24 REVOV’s BMS will restrict the Charge Current Limit of the battery in cold weather. The precise temperatures and limits are not published by REVOV, but anecdotally from reports on Victron Community it would appear that batteries begin to be limited below 18 degree C, severely limited below 10 degrees C, and completely restricted from charging below 2 degrees C.
  • Page 25 The battery won’t charge to 100% Also see the question above. The state of charge of the battery is estimated based on the overall voltage and on how well balanced the internal cells are. Because we cap the battery voltage at 52.4V, the state of charge will sometimes rise very slowly once it reaches the mid- 90s.
