The Orion is outputting 20.33V right now directly from the output. It's coming out of a Lynx distributor.
Should the jumper wire be left in? I understand that should be left in place.
I wired it correctly for sure, and also precharged the Multiplus capacitor before turning the batteries on, I'll try the screw but I think both units may be bad.
They're toast, both of them. I unplugged the jumper and there is no difference, the power still passes through at around 20V.
I had a real tough time trying to get Inverters R US to replace them, the tech support guy wanted pictures of the install and insisted I wired them wrong. I finally ended up going through Amazon and in two minutes they sent me a return code and I bought 2 more to replace them as well as an extra in case I need more amps to start my generator. I'm going to bench test them individually to make sure they all work before installing and I'll report back.Order new ones off Amazon and the return the bad ones. Invertersrus sells them on amazon. You probably got my bad ones
Yupp anything I don't want support for I'll buy off Amazon and can return if I don't need or broke. Expensive quality items I'll buy from a good dealer like currentconnected.com
An update, Amazon processed the return for the two defective ones and I ordered 2 more from another seller which were a slight variation from the other ones. They are identical with the exception of the binding posts which are shorter and have bakelite knobs to tighten, which I replaced with 1/4 in. nuts. Part number ORI241270030 and the originals were ORI241270020. The good news is they both tested 13.3V out of the box and I adjusted to 14.25 and 2 of them in parallel run my whole 12V system including my slideouts and also start the Onan 7000W generator. I ended up ordering another one to be safe in case one goes south and installed all 3 in parallel. The system is up and running like a swiss watch!
