Dead: Easy solar

Regarding Victron EasySolar 48/5000/70 MPPT 150/100 Color Control. How can I find out how Wiring and fuses is connected ? My EasySolar 48/5000/70 MPPT 150/100 will not start ! The fuse i can see in front is OK. But the Victron is dead. Not reacting at all. ! Are there something i have overlooked ? I have fed the victron with Battery / Solar cells / Generator without it turning on. The On/Off button is tested in all modes. The GX module receives 2.03 Volts. and doesn't answer either. Normally a relay turns on when there are power sources actively on, but mine is completely silent.

Open it up. Things are very obvious when you do that.

Also if the CCGX is dead its fuse is also blown. So something catastrophic happened there. And the mppt?

The whole unit can be stripped and the mppt tested

But before you go that far... are you sure your battery just didnt trip from the high inrush current?

The CCGX needs at least 9 volts to start up.

It is usually on the power cable for the CCGX and it is a 3.15A slow blow fuse.

Found CCGX GlassFuse and replaced it. But still no action in the EasySolar.... Maybe its in the MPPT as you mentioned. Time to break it down into components.. Are there some Diagram for Easy Solar on the net ? Or metrics/schedules that I can measure according to. Maybe just a Support/Workshop that can do this?

Disconnect the CCGX from the multi first as a check. Pull the RJ45 cable out of the CCGX.
