Victron Orion-TR Smart DC-DC 12/12 (non-Isolated) Continues Charging with Remote Inputs Removed

I purchased a Orion TR Smart 12/12 - 30amp last year but only installed it recently. The unit is working fine except it is totally ignoring the remote inputs. Software is up to date.


With the jumper cable removed, it continues to charge my lithium battery bank. This is very dangerous for a lithium battery set up as the Orion-Tr only monitors pack level voltage and not individual cell voltage, for which it relies on the BMS's intervention via the remote inputs.


Searching the Community, others seem to have similar issues with the remote not responding correctly, but no answers from the Community or from Victron Support?

See:

https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/102189/orion-tr-smart-remote-input-inactive.html

Has anyone had this issue and resolved it? Right now my 30amp DC-DC charger is no better than a paper weight.

How is it wired? How are you measuring charging current?
