It is unusual that the MPPT FW upgrade has caused GX error #48 - was the CCGX FW also maybe upgraded recently?

This error can occur when upgrading to a recent Venus OS FW (v2.40 or later) and when one of the system devices does not meet the minimum DVCC firmware requirements.

I would recommend to take a look at the current FW version of all other devices in your system (CCGX, Inverter/Charger, Battery Monitor and also managed batteries) and then determine what may need to be updated.

I just noticed I received two emails from VRM during the firmware upgrade.

1. DVCC Firmware insufficient alarm: Warning

2. DVCC Firmware insufficient alarm changed from 'Warning' to 'No alarm'

maybe I’m ok?

Hi @Rob Duthie

This issue is listed in the VenusOS changelog for v2.63 as "fixed". Maybe try that if you haven't already..

Hi John C

I will check the the Venus ver again, i though when i did the firmware update to 481 for the Easysolar GX inverter it updated the GX device, looks like it does'nt.

I will update this next now i see that on the version was still stuck at V2 .60.

The EasySolar and the GX device are two independent devices.
So you have to update each separately.

I got this alarm too after upgrading firmware. I got it also at previous upgrade via Victron Connect.

I have:

- CCGX v2.54

- MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-32, firmware 456

- SmartSolar Charger MPPT 150/35 v1.50

- Bluetooth Smart Dongle

- AGM batteries


I guess the requirements are met, but why I get this error?
