Dear all, In regards to the issues I have experienced with my recent setup I would like to announce that the system is up and running with no glitches at present. May I take this opportunity to thank everyone for their most valued and much appreciated inputs in helping me solve all the issues. You guys are fantastic. A special thank you to plonkster and Jaco de Jongh. What stars!! With you guy's input and professional advice this forum can only go from strength to strength. Thank you and warm regards.

Hi PaBz0r I am not sure if this applies in your case, but there have been some reports on the Victron forums about a batch of the new Multiplus-II 5k units giving over-temperature alarms and then failing after a few weeks. These over-temp alarms have happened without any large loads or obvious reason.

Ok. Here is the proof !!

started with the construction of the Emoncms web, with the help from @Christosnake Doc. first exP.-https://emoncms.org/dashboard/view&id=55138

Okay - that sounds more like a valid thermal limit rather than a symptom of a faulty unit. See the following links for reports that I mentioned in my previous post. https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/29805/multiplus-ii-5kva-showing-temperature-alarm-on-led.html and https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/29194/multiplus-ii-48500070-continuous-overload-shutdown.html?childToView=29248#comment-29248 [Edit] I also found a reference to a Victron Toolkit App that can calculate the temperature derating - i.e. how the max power output drops as the temperature increases. I have not tried this app. See https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2014/10/02/victron-toolkit-a-new-app-for-android-and-iphone-users/

Thank you. we will monitor it and let update as we go

Update: 10 October The replacement parts for the wrong side-plates in the enclosure arrived yesterday - so I assembled the battery enclosure, installed the batteries and connected all up. Added some more trunking for the earth and signal cables, and this is what it looked like with the battery door not fitted: From now on - the system will not be limited by small batteries - I will post an update of a typical day's data soon.

I believe this is all you'll need. Bought from Communica fro my geysers

Thanks, I have ordered from PClink, they claim 10 to 15 days. Also with a name like pclink I can use it as a business expense! The next item on the list is the quad.

I dread the day those two decides to stop supporting the forum.
