250/400 Watt | With 3-stage battery charge algorithm
Visit: www.victronenergy.com
Key Features
- Bluetooth Smart Enabled: Monitor, change settings, and update firmware via the VictronConnect App on smartphones or tablets. Instant readout of data, warnings, and alarms.
- Fully Programmable: Supports configurable battery charge algorithms or fixed output voltage.
- Smart Alternator Compatibility: Features engine running detection to prevent starter battery discharge when the engine is off (Euro 5/6 engines).
- Adaptive 3-Stage Charge Algorithm: Bulk, Absorption, Float stages optimized for lead-acid and lithium batteries. Absorption time adjusts based on discharge depth for lead-acid; fixed for lithium.
- Remote On/Off: Connect a switch or relay to a two-pole connector for remote control.
- Parallel Capability: Multiple units can be connected in parallel to increase output current.
- High Temperature Protection: Output current reduces at high ambient temperatures.
- IP43 Protection: Achieved when installed with screw terminals oriented downwards.
- Screw Terminals: Facilitates installation without special tools.
- Input Fuse: Non-replaceable.
Diagram Description
A diagram illustrates the charger's connection: An alternator connects to the input/starter battery, and the Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC charger connects between the starter battery and the output/auxiliary battery. The VictronConnect app interface is shown on a smartphone, displaying charger status like input voltage, output voltage, and charge mode (e.g., Bulk).

Note 1: If the output voltage is set to nominal or lower, it remains stable within the specified input voltage range (buck-boost function). If set higher, the minimum input voltage for stability increases proportionally.
Note 2: The VictronConnect App does not display input or output current. The Orion-Tr Smart does not have a VE.Direct port.
