I have purchased and installed a Victron Multiplus II in my RV front bay and finding the performance to be extremely unstable. For anyone that has the Multiplus II, you know it has the "On, Off, and Charge Only" modes at the physical switch. I am connected to shore power at the present.
What I am finding is that device works perfectly fine when on the "Charge Only" mode as it allow the shore power to pass through to the AC panel and charges the batteries when DC has been consumed, but when I switch it to the "On" mode, the Multiplus II every 1-5 minutes loses shore power, kick on to DC power only, and then in another 1-5 minutes kicks back on to shore power. When I turned off shore power the Multiplus kicked in to Inverter mode and seemed to be working fine for the time I was testing.
Extremely unstable and glitchy in the "On" position which is the recommended position to allow the device to automatically switch itself to the type of electricity available at the time (AC/DC). Anyone have an idea what would cause this? I have not totally ruled out wiring but since it works just fine on the "Charge Only", it would seem the wiring is fine.
I had the distributor look at the configuration settings and he said they were all fine. Wondering if the physical Multiplus II has a board / electrical problem.
Thoughts?
