How do I connect the VE Bus to the Orion DC Charger in order to gain the necessary protection, whilst still having engine start detection?

VE Bus connection to Orion 12 12 30 Isolated Smart Charger
@Thepirate1973 The Orion does not have any VEbus, VEDirect or VECan connectivity (unfortunately). Depending on what you are trying to do you might be able to use the remote terminals. If you tell us a bit more about your system it would be helpful.
Yes, I would like use the Charger/Load line outs of the VE BUS to operate the remote switch this would be for protection only - I would still like to be able operate the Charger via either Ignition detection or key.
You can do many things using your BMS output signals to stop charging, discharging, disable chargers, disconnect the charge bus or even disconnect your fuel pump to shut down your engine when the battery is full.
You can also do it like anyone else and just configure the charge voltages properly to your battery requirements on each controller and you are done.
