My newly installed 24/5000 multiplus isn`t switching to battery when solar PV cuts off
I have a Abb Aurora 5kw ca coupled inverter coupled to the multiplus
Any reasons??

multiplus not switching
How is the Aurora connected to the Multiplus? AC-IN or AC-OUT.
ac out is what it is
AC out, with the Aurora paralled to the feed to the installation
As per Victron line drawing
OK, are you off-grid or on grid?
Are you running and assistant like ESS?
Do you have an energy meter, like Carlo Gavazzi, to measure energy coming from the Aurora?
On grid
No assistant, I don`t know what it is
The Aurora has an inbuilt meter,
OK, so you need an Assistant loaded into the MultiPlus. An assistant is like an "App" for the MultiPlus. It enables it to do more special tasks like what you want to do.
The MultiPlus needs to know that there is a PV Inverter there otherwise how can it know that it should use energy to charge.
You need to use VE.Configure to do this then you can set up the Assistant. You configure the Assistant by telling it how powerful your Aurora is, how much PV power you have installed.
I did not ask you if you have a Venus device like CCGX or Venus GX? If not, then you can just use the "PV Inverter Support" Assistant.
