Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Charger remote cable

The Victron Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Charger Remote Cable enables precise control of your Orion-Tr isolated charger when working with lithium battery systems. This specialised accessory solves a critical installation challenge for B2B and trade customers working with modern battery management systems.

In standard Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Chargers, the remote on/off circuit references the primary battery (typically your starter battery). However, many modern installations, particularly those using lithium batteries with integrated BMS systems, require the remote signal to reference the secondary battery instead. This cable provides the isolated connection needed to make this configuration work reliably.

The cable features robust electrical specifications designed for professional installations. With a maximum input voltage rating of 35V and maximum output voltage of 70V, it handles a wide range of system configurations safely. The minimum input voltage required for pull-down is approximately 4V, whilst the maximum pull-down current sits at approximately 30mA, with built-in short circuit protection for installation peace of mind.

This isolation cable proves particularly valuable in motorhome, marine, and commercial vehicle applications where lithium battery systems are becoming the standard. When your lithium battery's BMS needs to control the charger operation, this cable ensures clean, reliable signalling without ground loop issues or interference that can occur in complex electrical systems.

Installation is straightforward for qualified technicians. The cable integrates directly into your Orion-Tr charging system, providing the electrical isolation necessary to prevent conflicts between different battery reference points. This isolation protects both your expensive lithium batteries and your charging equipment from potential damage caused by improper grounding or reference voltage issues.

The lightweight design, weighing just 0.015kg, means negligible impact on your overall system weight, an important consideration in weight-sensitive applications like motorhomes and marine installations. Despite its compact construction, the cable delivers robust performance in demanding professional environments.

For systems integrating renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, with battery-to-battery charging, this remote cable ensures your Orion-Tr charger responds correctly to BMS signals. This prevents overcharging, manages charge current appropriately, and extends the service life of your lithium battery investment.

The cable works with the complete range of Victron Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Chargers, making it a versatile accessory for installers working across multiple projects and system sizes. Whether you're building a compact campervan system or a substantial commercial vehicle installation, this cable provides the connectivity solution you need.

Victron Energy's commitment to quality ensures reliable long-term performance. Backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty, this cable represents a professional-grade solution for trade customers and system integrators who demand dependable components for their installations.
