Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Chargers

This is a remote cable made for Victron's Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Chargers. On those chargers the on/off input for remote control takes its reference from the primary battery, such as a starter battery. The cable is for installations where the remote on/off signal should instead be referenced to the secondary battery, for example a lithium battery with a BMS.

Our take

This cable has one job: moving the remote on/off reference from the primary battery to the secondary battery on Orion-Tr Isolated chargers. That makes it relevant when the secondary side is a lithium battery with a BMS.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
