Hi all My charging issue has resolved itself, the last e-mail from Tine said that there was also a temperature feed into the charging rate and that the charging rate is reduced to a 1/3rd of the...

Warranty is 2 years.  Best to contact Rick by email. Iam ws500 dealer in Asia. Iam not sure how they handle a warranty issue as this. If the unit is bench tested all could be ok. Many compani...

Thanks Ben,  really strange yes, two fuses blew now nothing.  I will check the cabling once more but it is in very good condition, zero corrosion and dry. Really appreciate your help.  just in case...

If the blown fuse is not continues happen, it will be difficult to say what \"had\" blown the fuse before.   I never have seen a problem in the WS500 that has blow the fuse.   ...

Good morning.  Test conducted as far as I was able.  The battery bank is 1500 ah at 24v so I wasn\'t able to deplete it however connecting the field and positive resulted in engine loading and curr...

Hi there, I have the above 3 units wired REC -> Cerbo -> WS500 with a terminator at each end. To connect to my NMEA2000 network, would I be right in thinking I would take out the termin...

This is good information Al, thanks for jumping in.  And to confirm yes, REC BMS does support a 48V LFP Victron/WS500 integrated system in both a single SI-Q Series BMS or up to 15 strings of cells...

Ben has some good ideas and I think he is correct in suspecting your alternator is the problem.   Second step after that would be to check the wires inside the AMP connector for chafing.  If neithe...

What is the value from the fuse that is blown? As a test, check or there is a problem inside the alternator. Do this test, which Al Thomason posted in this forum before. \"\"Remove the Blu...

Morning all.  I have had my WS 500 a year now, performed faultlessly.  Ran up the engine today during winter idle period and the Alternator Positive fuse has blown.  Replaced it, same again.  Alter...

The WS500 can do 48V systems. I dont know the specs from your battle born batteries, maybe they can not be use as 48V system. I think there is a misunderstanding on this point.

The sensors are smart devices and the 3 wires in the sheath just get paralleled together to the second sensor to create a sensor network.  We are working on a more elegant solution but all you need...

Your installation seems to be well designed based on your overview and having a separate 12/48V system is actually quite common so I am not sure why they would say something like this.  Al is or wa...

I have also been in contract with DragonFly about getting the 12v WakeSpeed work on the 12v alternator and have been very upset with their responses. I hope that you can help me when they cannot. ...

Quote from Al Thomason on August 14, 2019, 4:27 pm High Rick,   Yes - a question we get a bit.   So, there are perhaps two flavors of this: Two alternators on the same engine. T...

and here is a 2P4S wiring diagram from the REC BMS North America site you can use as a starting point https://rec-bms-na.com/download/31/rec-active-bms-sketches/1290/rec-active-bms-wiring-diagra...

Sounds like a great config and yes, the Active BMS is good to about 1,000Ah of well behaved \"A\" grade cells like CALBs. FYI, for large scale 12V projects there is a Master/Slave solution but y...

All settings Tine describe are in the screenshots you have posted above. In my view all set correctly. What the commandos means is in the manual.      

Hi Ben This is the reply from Tine:- “CAPA is the String capacity and it multiplies the number of strings in case of Master/Slave You can set the number of devices with a SISN or STRN for AB...

Not sure exactly what you are looking for but Al put together a pretty detailed setup and communications manual that might help. Here is the link https://www.wakespeed.com/wp-content/uploads/...

Hi, for WS500, is there anywhere I can see this file is linked to which DFK already. As I\'m changing the file name and those DFK that have linked are affected. Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Ben No I haven’t tried any other versions, which ones were you thinking??? I have asked Tine in an e-mail but I haven’t had a response from him yet. It’s a great product and it’s great that ...

Which firmware you are using? Did you try another version? Do you use single main relay, or separate charge/load relays?

Hi Ben Having checked the E-Mail I had sent Tine, no I didn’t include the REC screenshot…… 😔😔 I have also followed the command instructions and it seems they are correct although it wasn’t qu...

How I see it. All settings from this part from the manual are correctly set, see screenshots above. Did you have send the same screenshot with all settings to Tine? Screen shots from REC and ...

Hi all Reply from Tine:- Check the Charge/Discharge algorithm in the Manual. It uses Maximum device charge current setting or capacity x charge coefficient whichever is lower. So I will lo...

Hi Ben Thanks for this I have asked Tine @ REC but I haven’t had a reply yet, when I do I will update this post. Thanks again for your help.

You can reset the wifi, holding the switch in the wifi unit 20 seconds?? (I dont ave the exact info by hand)   other suggestion, start with a fresh formatted sd. Only copy the 2 latest u...

I have no other suggestion. If I change the \"max charge current\" I see seconds later in the Cerbo the CCL is changed to the new level. Maybe ask REC. If you solved the problem, please gi...

REC crew, thank you for the excellent support! The new firmware works great, and I\'m enjoying driving without the low temperature alarm.  

here is a screenshot from the VRM console showing the difference in the current readings.

I\'m setting up a Master/2 Slave system at 24v x 400 aH x2 with a Quattro inverter/Cerbo Gx.    I have my first bank set up and configured with the first Slave and a 500A/50mv shunt.  The REC is se...

Hi Ben It’s all set up as you say….. the total Ah is set in the total Ah box. Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated👍👍  

I should also have noted that this is on a large AGM battery bank so no BMS involvement.

No \"limit current\" in dvcc, thats good. Other suggestion: check REC app. In settings: is \"amount charger devices\" set at 1? Under the same settings, what is set at total Ah?

Hi Ben Screen shots as requested. Thanks for any help you can offer🤞🤞🤞👍
