Hi
I bought a brand new Smartsolar MPPT 100/20, tried to connect Android (Huawei), Apple (iPhone) or Windows - asks for Passkey ... tries to do pairing, three lights flash quickly ... asks for Passkey ... loops forever. Normally the blue LED flashes.
I also have an Orion Smart Tr 12/12-30 - works with my Android.
Any ideas? The solar charger does not activate the load output (just 0.5V) so it is absolutely useless piece of hardware as of now - a costly one though.
Thank you
Chris
@Chris Raidler okay, one more thought: if it keeps asking for the passkey, and looping, that indicates the passkey entered is not the correct one. I'm assuming that you're entering the default "000000" but it's worth going ahead and resetting the PIN code as described in section 3.3 of the VictronConnect manual. If that doesn't work, I concur with others in saying it's time to contact your dealer for additional troubleshooting or an exchange.
Yeah, my friend, don't worry. I took a replacement from the dealer ... works like a charm. Why did we even bother ... :-)
I just got a MPPT 100 20 and want to know if you actually got yours working with bluetooth on a pc.
Thanks,
David
Hi Chris,
Have a read of the Victron Connect Manual. There should be some answers in there for your problem.
So, you should be able to point me to the correct section where I should find some answers for my problem then?
Did you try to restart the MPPT ( disconnect everything, wait a few seconds an reconnect)?
I did disconnect. I did reinstall Victron Connect. Deteted cache, app data between connection attempts. I deleted pairings. Yes, I granted the App location, even memory control. Still no luck.
Not able to connect. Not Android, not Apple.
I cant think of anything else to try.
Have you contacted your retailer?
@Chris Raidler, Windows BT protocol is not compatible with these devices, so you will be unable to connect that way.
The Victron Connect Manual as previously linked by another user will provide you with the answers you need, and additional troubleshooting steps if you still encounter issues. The most cursory glance at even the first 4 paragraphs will quickly reveal the most common problems when connecting devices, but I strongly encourage you to read the entire thing, as indeed I suggest you read the device manual as well.
Didn't I read somewhere that victron actually program a unique pass code into each unit now, it's on the actually unit or on the box it came in I think.
