Victron Energy | Orion-Tr Smart Series Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A (360W) Isolated DC-DC Charger 12V Input to 12V Output | 30A Continuous | Bluetooth Enabled The Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A (360W) Isolated DC-DC Charger is a professional, adaptive 3-stage battery charger designed for robust dual battery systems in vehicles and marine applications. This intelligent unit efficiently charges your service battery from a 12V starter battery or smart alternator, ensuring optimal battery health and extended lifespan. With integrated Bluetooth Smart functionality, the Orion-Tr Smart allows for seamless monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app on your smartphone or tablet. Its isolated design provides essential electrical separation between the input and output, enhancing system safety and reliability for demanding mobile and off-grid setups. ISOLATED DESIGN: Provides electrical separation between input and output, crucial for systems requiring galvanic isolation for safety or noise reduction. Key Features ▶ Bluetooth Smart Enabled — Monitor, configure, and update the charger wirelessly using the VictronConnect app on your smart device. ▶ Adaptive 3-Stage Charging — Optimises battery health with Bulk, Absorption, and Float stages, automatically adjusting absorption time for lead-acid batteries and offering a fixed time for lithium. ▶ Smart Alternator Compatibility — Features engine running detection to prevent discharge of the starter battery and ensure efficient charging with modern Euro 5/6 alternators. ▶ Remote On/Off Control — Allows for convenient integration into your system with a remote switch or relay contact. ▶ Parallel Operation Capability — Connect multiple units in parallel to increase the total output current for larger battery banks. ▶ High Temperature Protected — Output current automatically reduces at high ambient temperatures to protect the unit. ▶ IP43 Protection — Offers protection against water spray when installed with screw terminals oriented downwards. Technical Specifications Parameter Value Input Voltage Range 8 - 17V Nominal Output Voltage 12V Continuous Output Current 30A Maximum Output Power 360W Efficiency 87% Protection Category IP43 (electronic components, when installed downwards) Dimensions (H x W x D) 130 x 186 x 80mm Weight 1.8 kg Manufacturer Warranty 5 Years (Victron Energy standard) Charging & Output Modes The Orion-Tr Smart offers versatile charging and power supply options: Adaptive 3-Stage Charging: Designed for optimal battery care, it cycles through Bulk (fast charging), Absorption (topping off), and Float (maintenance) stages. Absorption time is automatically adjusted for lead-acid batteries based on discharge depth, while lithium batteries use a fixed 2-hour absorption time by default. Fixed Output Mode: Can be configured to provide a stable output voltage, independent of the input voltage or load, making it suitable as a power supply. Engine Running Detection: Intelligently detects when the vehicle's engine is running, ensuring the service battery is only charged when the alternator is active. This prevents unwanted discharge of the starter battery. Programmable Algorithm: The charging algorithm is fully configurable via the VictronConnect app, allowing customisation for specific battery types and system requirements. Typical Applications Application Description Vehicles (Campervans, RVs, Motorhomes) Ideal for charging auxiliary or leisure batteries from the vehicle's alternator, especially with smart alternators in modern vehicles. Marine Vessels Ensures reliable charging of service batteries on boats from the engine's starter battery, providing isolation for safety. Off-Grid Systems Can be used in various off-grid setups where a stable 12V supply is needed to charge a secondary battery bank from a primary 12V source. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-30A charger incorporates several protection mechanisms to ensure safe and reliable operation: Overload Protection • Short Circuit Protection • High Temperature Protection (with power derating) • Input Voltage Lock-Out (to prevent over-discharge of the starter battery). Common Questions What is an isolated DC-DC charger? An isolated DC-DC charger provides electrical separation (galvanic isolation) between the input and output circuits. This is important for safety, preventing ground loops, and reducing electrical noise in sensitive systems, particularly in marine and certain vehicle installations. Can I use this with a smart alternator? Yes, the Victron Orion-Tr Smart is specifically designed to be compatible with smart (Euro 5/6) alternators. It features an engine running detection mechanism that ensures charging only occurs when the engine is active, preventing the starter battery from being drained. Is it suitable for lithium batteries? Absolutely. The Orion-Tr Smart features an adaptive 3-stage charging algorithm that is suitable for both lead-acid and lithium batteries. For lithium batteries, it uses a fixed absorption time (default 2 hours), which can be adjusted via the VictronConnect app. How do I monitor and configure the charger? The charger has built-in Bluetooth Smart connectivity. You can monitor its status, change settings, and update firmware using the free VictronConnect app on any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or other device. Installation Notes Always ensure correct polarity when connecting the input and output cables to prevent damage to the unit. Use appropriately sized, flexible multi-stranded copper cables for all connections, as recommended in the manufacturer's manual. Install suitable fuses on both the input and output lines, following manufacturer guidelines, to protect the wiring and the device. Mount the charger in a well-ventilated area, ensuring the screw terminals are oriented downwards to maintain the specified IP43 protection rating. For optimal performance and safety, professional installation by a qualified electrician or marine technician is recommended. Before You Buy Verify System Voltage: Confirm your primary (starter) and secondary (service) battery systems are both 12V. Check Battery Type: Ensure the charger's programmable algorithm is compatible with your lead-acid (e.g., AGM, Gel) or lithium (LiFePO4) battery type. Assess Power Requirements: Consider your auxiliary battery bank size and typical loads to ensure the 30A (360W) output meets your charging needs. Multiple units can be paralleled for higher power. Installation Environment: Plan for a suitable mounting location that allows for adequate ventilation and adheres to the IP43 rating requirements. Consult Manual: Always refer to the official Victron Energy manual for detailed installation instructions, wiring diagrams, and safety precautions. Product specifications are based on manufacturer data and are subject to change. Always verify compatibility and installation requirements with the official Victron Energy documentation. This product comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty from Victron Energy.
