Hi

The BT200 on the display means that the battery monitor part is in bootloader mode, expecting a firmware update. I cannot tell why this happened, but perhaps this can be fixed by connecting with VictronConnect. To get this working, you have to reset the PIN code to the default "000000" using the procedure described here: https://ve3.nl/VictronConnect_ResetPIN

After this, you should be able to connect and pair using the default "000000" pin code and VictronConnect should show a firmware update screen to update the firmware of the battery monitor.

Kind regards,
