Has anyone noticed their Victon 712 provides different voltages when the display is lit?
When I push a button on the display and it is illuminated, displayed voltage drops, for example, from 13.19 V to 12.96 V. When the display light goes out, the voltage returns to higher reading.
When installing, I did run another pair of
monitor wires from the two screws on top of the
Victron 712 shunt (because I replaced the shunt they had been connected to with the
Victron. Shunts were the same milliamp). I suppose this might throw off a reading by the Victron by reducing a threshold of some sort, but it seems like the light on the Victron display should not impact voltage reading of that display.
This change in information is picked up by VictronConnect, and I believe the difference is enough to mess with settings for float and absorption on the 100 / 50 Blue
Solar MPPT.
Also,
MPPT says it is in "bulk" mode when the voltage has clearly dropped to float. This issue preceded install of Victron 712 and is not related.
Suggestions?
