Australian distributed Projecta IP2000 PSW inverter. This unit has been installed in my motorhome for 3 years and worked very well.
Then I opened my van door early in the morning to be confronted by the stench of toxic smoke.
Despite the inverter being switched off it just combusted overnight...
OK Randy,
You are officially "legend" status ....
I've performed the reset procedure and so far I am able to reconnect at will and alter settings!
I'll pass this info on with reference to your great effort and persistence, perhaps you could let Renogy know how to get things done :)

I have two 12V 4S 200A Smart BMS. I am assuming that the 100 may have the same programming features as per the 200 & 250A versions.
You are looking for the "Dfilter" setting which has a standard 2000mA set point.
Simply set the filter current to 500mA.
The setting is in the top tight area of...
I owned an original DCC-50 & BT-2 and had consistent problems with keeping the Bluetooth connection.
I have just purchased an updated model and have since fitted 3 complete systems to customers vehicles including the BT-2.
I've used both apps and have had no problems at all with the Bluetooth...
If you have access to the UART to USB cable for programming it is possible to alter the 2000mA standard setting down to 500mA. There is a slight "hunting" effect that seems to occur which will vary from 100mA-420mA (based on my testing) so although it is possible to get the sensing all the way...
Hi Randy,
Are you now getting a reliable BT connection setting after all the trouble you have gone to? I am using an Android 10 based Samsung phone, I
've also used a variety of other Android tablets and phones .... no connection being made.
One concerning issue is that my indicator lamps are...
Running both units, the DCC50S has been working beautifully for about 4 months now, unfortunately the BT-2 is currently a HUGE fail. Waiting to hear from Renogy on my list of demands.
1) Provide an updated & working Android App (or)
2) Send me a shipping label so that I can have my money back.
Update on this issue : the Supplier has offered to send a replacement Inverter despite the warranty period having expired, that is great service!
I'll continue to recommended their products based on this kind of customer service.
Fair comment, but all constantly connected inverters are ticking time bombs. I have installed a TBS remote 500A relay combined with the REC inverter time delay controller. When I'm not travelling in my van the inverter stays separated from the batteries.
I disassembled it myself, best educated guess considering the destruction is a dry solder joint began the chain reaction, high frequency inverters tend to run hotter than low frequency units. Projecta didn't provide me their thoughts on a cause.
Not certain but the 5 x 400v caps certainly went into a big meltdown. My Circuit Breaker is always switched off along with the inverter control switch while I'm not using the motor-home.
New inverter will be installed with a smoke detector module adjacent that will switch a 500A motorised...
Put it this way, I'll never sleep in a confined space with an inverter connected to the battery bank again, "soft" switching the 12v supply to the inverter is now the new norm for me ?
Does anyone own this particular model number R05W-FJ27?
I need to know if you can access bluetooth programming functions successfully via the password ???
The FJ27 is the only model I can purchase locally.
I just purchased a Daly Smart 200A model FJ02 and cannot find anywhere to purchase a...
But if you search the web you will find many photos of self combusting Victrons. All mass produced electronics have an expected percentage of failures, inverters included. The only way to reduce the possibility of failure is to purchase military grade equipment ... and no one will pay that kind...
I have a 200A fuse at the battery terminal and the inverter has a built in 350A fuse, cabling is 70mm2 over 500mm length. In the situation that occurred the fuse was never going to blow as there was no dead short nor an overload.
I originally had the 1000w version of the inverter and regularly stressed it out, but I agree that it is not ideal to do so. My peak running current on the 2000w inverter was 165A when occasionally using the microwave oven, most loads never exceeded half of the inverters capacity. (The 2000w...
