![]() But I got there.īut at least there is a manual. The whole translation into English can be lacking and confusing sometimes. The bouncing around looking at Youtube videos, an app on my phone, well things could be consolidated and rewrote. I expect an "operational SCC" is what I would get out of the box. The online PDF is somewhat lacking and some grammar correction are needed. So far the unit works quite well and I am pleased with the performance.Īs for turning on, in series, the unit starts charging just as the sun cracks the horizon.Īnd I've since watched a couple of Victron videos that have helped.įor me, an old school guy, nothing beats a well written manual, a PDF, printed and in your hands. And I can already see the Victron unit is keeping the battery volts up by this action. My last SCC (Renogy PWM) never turned off, and the lower morning volts were telling. Having the charger off, well I think that is a fine idea. Plus, when the SCC is not charging or "off", there is a little pop up tutorial with some info that was interesting. And now I can plainly see the Controller is on and understand why the Charger is off (no sun) and now things make sense. The next morning, at 4 am ( yea I get up early), blue LED is working, but now I can access the controller with the bluetooth. My confusion was on the first day, at night and no charging (Blinking blue LED) I could not connect with the Bluetooth Android App and I still do not know why. I'm on about day 4 with this SmartSolar 75/15 unit. "Does this unit turn itself off at night to remove parasitic draw? And does the blinking blue light indicate an off or standby condition? And is the Bluetooth turned off along with the CC, and is this normal behavior? I have read many posts on "blinking blue light", but I still do not have a firm answer to the questions I looked in the Victron Toolkit, it did not have much for info, nor in the manual. My SmartSolar 75/15 CC has three lights, blue for "Bulk", yellow for "Absorption" and green for "Float". The sun was not yet up.Īnd a little while later, voila, the Bluetooth app connects, and all is well. I have two 70 ah Duracell AGM RV 12 volt batteries.ĪS the morning progressed, the blue light stopped flashing and was now steady, indicating "Bulk" charging. This is set up in an RV, and the propane sensor is always on, but I was pleased to see an almost full battery bank. ![]() I checked my battery voltage, 12.6 volts. And I could not connect the bluetooth app. This morning, the CC was blinking a slow blue, one flash every couple of seconds. As the SCC is new to me, I've been watching the app to learn more about how it functions, particularly in less than optimum lighting. I live in Alaska, the predawn sky was not quite sunrise. This morning I got up early, about 4:00 AM. I can be 40 feet away before I lose connection. The bluetooth app updated the firmware, twice, and is working well. I have two Renogy 100 watt mono panels wired in series. I need some clarification on the LED lights and how my SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 charger works. ![]()
