- | A common reason | + | Possible reasons |
+ | * The Battery voltage (12/24/48V) is set, or auto-detected, | ||
+ | * There is another device connected to the battery, which is configured to a higher voltage. For example a MultiPlus, configured to equalise at 17 Volts, while in the MPPT this is not configured. | ||
+ | * The battery is disconnected using a manual switch. Ideally the charger should be switched off before disconnecting the battery, this avoids a voltage overshoot on the charger output. If necessary the voltage trip-level for the PV Short protection can be increased by raising the Equalization voltage set-point (note: equalization does not have to be enabled in this case). | ||
+ | * The battery is disconnected using a Lithium charge relay connected to the “allow-to-charge” output of a BMS. Consider wiring this signal to the Remote terminal of the charger instead. This shuts down the charger gracefully without creating a voltage overshoot. | ||

+ | |||
+ | The typical reason for the error to show is that the charger is configured to operate in parallel using our [[https:// | ||

+ | Resolution: disable the parallel operation by connecting VictronConnect, | ||
+ | |||
+ | For SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can only, also make sure its not connected to a [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the conflict is resolved the error will disappear and the charger will resume normal operation, usually within a minute. | ||
