Monitor for shore disconnect doesn't work on Cerbo

Hello all,

I have a Multiplus (V476) connected on a Cerbo (V2.6)

No alarm after 5 seconds of loss of shore power

But if I configure the AC input for Grid, it works!


Thank you for your help

Hi @Steve777

Update: I misread the question, and have tested it now on a system of my own, in v2.60 this does not work indeed, I've reported the bug.


That's why it's called 'monitor for grid failure' ;)

The thing is: most boats disconnect from shore power a lot, and getting an alarm every time would be annoying.

So if you want the alarm, just configure the input as 'grid'

What is the purpose of "Monitor for shore disconnect" then ?

Thank you I learnt something today. I own a yacht and have my system set to "Shore Power". If when it disconnects there is no alert then you are unaware of for example a disconnect due to a fuse blowing as your current limit might be too high.

What other changes are there when you swap between show and grid?

Many Thanks

None, only the icon at the system overview should change a little bit.

Hi @Steve777

My apologies, I read the issue too fast... I'll ask the developers how / why it doesn't work as expected.
