Multiplus 3000 Issues After Firmware

I have a MultiPlus 3000 which I normally monitor through the VE.Bus Smart Dongle (Bluetooth). It updated firmware over VE Connect on Saturday (Multiplus on v430 and VE.Bus on v1.10). Since the update when I look at the Multiplus through VE Connect over Bluetooth the status is "fault" and the battery does not show any status. Occasionally it will match the remote screen showing the proper charging state, but changes to fault seconds after loading. I cannot replicate the conditions to make it show the correct status.

I connected my MK3-USB to the unit to see if I could troubleshoot. I open the Multiplus via the MK3 and it will show the correct status. After about 5 seconds, the screen reloads and the status bar works its way back to 100%. I am unable to view settings or manipulate anything as it reloads again in another 5 seconds.

The Multiplus has also rebooted itself several times without explanation. It comes back on after a 2-3 second period. It has happened with very small loads on the system with a 15A AC source and tonight it did it with a 50A split phase AC source and many loads on the system (but did not exceed 50A on either leg nor the combined capacity of the inverter). I don't know if these are related, but this is frustrating too.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

For starters the multi would not have been updated. as 430 is a old firmware 482 is the latest Fw, but your smart dongle may have updated and this would not affect the multis operation, if you think it is then disconnect it.


I suggest you look at your battery voltages and also maybe get your installer to have a look at the system.

we cant much further as we would need to have a wiring diagram and some photos of your setup, plus more information as below.

battery voltage just before the multi turned off and also after it turned off

what batteries are you using

what is the battery brand and battery voltage when fully charged

what BMS are you using

I'm having the same problem. (Multiplus is v430 and VE.Bus is v1.10 and v1.04 bootloader) My VE connect goes from normal to unknown to fault. The SmartBMV is displaying the correct voltages and currents. I'm using Ampere Time batteries two 12v 300a

Fixed - had to update iOS app, which reverted dongle to v1.09. Then everything cleared up.
