- Victron 30A Isolated DC-DC Charger
- Victron Lynx
- Mega Fuses (400A, 40A x 2)
Easy Installation
- Mount board in a suitable location
- Connect batteries to the spare poles on the Lynx bus bar
- Connect caravan DC Loads to the spare poles on the Lynx bus bar
- Connect solar panels to the input of the MPPT
- Connect cable from the vehicles alternator/start battery to the input of the DC charger
- Wire the 230V AC input and output into the van
Monitoring Options
This board comes with several options for monitoring your system. (Additional Costs may apply)
No Monitor
Suitable if your lithium batteries have built in bluetooth monitoring.
Victron Smart Shunt
Allows you to monitor your batteries via a bluetooth app on your smart device. You can view volts, amps, watts coming in and out of your batteries + Battery State of Charge (S.O.C) as a % to ensure you accurately know how much power you have available in your batteries
Victron BMV712
Same as the Victron Smart Shunt plus an additional LCD Screen to view the volts, amps, watts & S.O.C
Victron Cerbo GX + Touch 50
- Real time display of:
- Solar Coming In (Watts)
- Battery State of Charge (%) + (Volts, Amps & Watts)
- Power being Used (Watts / Amps)
- Power coming in from Mains or Generator
- Historical Data
A Huge amount of data gets logged (and is accessable online if connected to the internet).
This makes it easy to ensure the system is working optimally and identify any issues. - Remote Support
If the system is connected to the internet, we can login remotely to help diagnose and possibly fix any potential issues with the system. - Optional Tank Sensors
The Cerbo GX also has a provision for tank sensors. This allows you to display tank levels on the Touch 50 - Generator Auto Start
Easily auto start you generator when you battery gets low. The system allows for different settings for day time & night time to ensure the generator doesn't come on when it is not wanted. (Compatible 2 wire autostart geneartors only) - Canbus intergration and control of compatible Canbus lithium batteries
- + Much, Much More!
Victron Cerbo GX + Touch 50 + Smartshunt
Same as above + a Victron Smart Shunt. The Smart Shunt is required for for NON Canbus batteries.
High powered Victron 3kVa Inverter / Charger
The Victron Multiplus II 12v 3kVa inverter features a true 2400W Continuous Inverter with a huge 5500W surge for 30 Seconds. This makes it a great choice for caravans that want to run, toasters, kettles, hot plates, air con, washing machines etc.
It features a Automatic AC Transfer switch that will allow the power points throughout your van to automatically change from battery/inverter power to mains power if and when mains power is available.
The Multiplus II 12v 3kVa also has a built in fully programmable high powered 120A battery charger when either grid power or generator power is available. This allows you to pump in up to 120A / hour into your battery bank.
This allows significanly reduced generator run time (if you are using one).
Ultra Efficient MPPT
ULTRAFAST MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING (MPPT)
Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is changing continuously, an ultra-fast MPPT controller will improve energy harvest by up to
30 % compared to PWM charge controllers and by up to 10 % compared to slower MPPT controllers.
Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of partial shading conditions
If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points may be present on the power-voltage curve.
Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not be the optimum MPP.
The innovative BlueSolar algorithm will always maximize energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.
Extensive electronic protection
Over-temperature protection and power derating when temperature is high.
PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.
PV reverse current protection.
Fully discharged battery recovery function
Will initiate charging even if the battery has been discharged to zero volts.
Will reconnect to a fully discharged Li-ion battery with integrated disconnect function.
Victron 30A DC-DC Charger
Bluetooth Smart enabled
• Any Bluetooth enabled smart phone, tablet or other device can be used to monitor, to change
settings and to update the charger when new software features become available.
• Instant Readout: The VictronConnect App can display key data, including warnings and alarms, on
the Device list page without the need to connect to the product.
Fully programmable
• Battery charge algorithm (configurable) or fixed output.
• Smart alternator compatibility: engine running detection mechanism.
Adaptive 3-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – float
• For lead acid batteries it is important that during shallow discharges the absorption time is kept
short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge the absorption time is
automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged.
• For lithium batteries absorption time is fixed, default 2 hours.
• Alternatively, a fixed output voltage can be chosen.
Suitable for use in vehicles with a smart alternator (Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines)
The built-in engine shutdown detection will stop the converter when the engine is not running.
This prevents unwanted discharge of the starter battery (see manual for details).
