VRM grid lost alarm will not clear

I labelled my Quattro AC input 1 as ‘shore power’, then set up an alarm rule on my CCGX where all input labels (not available, grid, generator, shore power) were enabled.

When I disconnected my shore power, the CCGX and VRM gave me ‘grid lost’ alarms. I acknowledged the alarm on the CCGX and reconnected shore power but it took a reset to clear the CCGX, and I can’t clear it on the VRM.

I’ve tried deleting the rule and setting up a new one, re-labelling my input as ‘grid’ to see if that’ll clear it - no luck.

Any advice appreciated - would like to clear from the VRM.

The Alarm getting stuck should only be an issue if running a version of Venus older than 2.60.

Once you are running 2.60 and above, then you should be able to clear the alarm yourself by either reconnecting the shore power, or by turning the feature off via Remote Console.

If the alarm is stuck in the ON position BEFORE you upgrade to 2.60, then for now it will require a request in this thread - hopefully with a better solution for self-help coming soon.

are we saying sticking is Conected=1 always...

I am on 2.6

please add: https://vrm.victronenergy.com/installation/35859/dashboard to the list to be cleared.

note... what I mean by "sticking" is my mqtt topic does not change, grid or no grid, connected is always 1

The grid lost topic use to be under alarms which I can't find/see anymore?

Hi all,


As of today you can clear stuck alarms by going to the alarm logs page:

- Select the 3 dots next to the open alarm

- Click the clear alarm button

@dresmit - your system is not showing the grid lost alarm, but a high voltage alarm - you have a different problem to the one that is described in this question.

Please ask a new question with the specifics of your different issue.

Now it doesn't on the VRM

@Teun Lassche (Victron Energy Staff) Hello Teun, I’ve got a Cerbo GX (2.63) and a Multiplus 800. Everything works fine but when i removed shore power, I get a 276 grid power error about every 8 hours in VRM. How to solve this?

@Teun Lassche (Victron Energy Staff) by the way: Multiplus is currently set to “off” but still every 8 hours the alarm in VRM and manually clearing does not help. The alarm is not visible in the Cerbo GX.

Under "systems setup" in CCGX, you disable the "monitor for grid failure".

Have the same issue.

Hi - Please would you clear my VRM grid lost alarm again - sorry about this - the alarm beep stopped last night but has now resumed. I am now cruising I cannot reconnect to landline for 2 weeks. I would like to turn off the 'grid loss monitoring' feature but the control for it seems to have disappeared from my VRM - is this because I am not connected to landline? Can you disable the alarm/monitoring for me? Thanks v much. Bethany May - VRM Portal (victronenergy.com)
