Victron BMV-712 - +B1/+B2 Wire Removal

Hi,

I recently had a Victron BMV-712 installed by someone else however I have worked out that they wired the temperature sensor incorrectly.

I am trying to release cables from the +B1 and +B2 terminals on the shunt however I have very limited visibility in the spot the shunt is installed.

What is the "trick" to get the +B1 and +B2 terminals to release? There is a small orange "clip" but I am unsure how this works. Any assistance would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Jeff

You need to push the clip down towards the PCB (in the opposite direction to the way the wire pulls out).
If you can see (or feel) a small slot in the orange clip, this is to aid pushing in that direction with a small screwdriver, then the wire should pull out easily.

Plugged a wrong wire into a port and could not get it out, wire was too long. This was exactly what I needed to get it back out. Thank you so much.
