I have followed the instructions for using a SBP65 to control a Phoenix 12/375 and can't get it to work. Victron say that they are working on a solution.

This is a well known issue. There are numerous discussions on the subject on the Victron Community forum.

I'm still waiting for the official Victron fix for this issue.
I haven't tried the resistor option and the manual clearly states that a SBP can switch off a Phoenix inverter.
Here's the thread.

I think all the 12v inverters 1200w above have built-in Bluetooth. My inverter needs the additional dongle which is ~ 50% extra cost for a one time setting. I'm only trying to set up my inverter and SBP as described in the Victron manual. It clearly states that the SBP can remotely control the...
I think it's mainly due to failure to follow the installation instructions. It seems quite a few people are not following 10cm minimum clearance distancing and then asking why their Orion Tr- Smart is running hot!
These are the error codes from the manual.
Operation
There are 4 possible error modes, indicated by the 7-segment display:
• E1 Short circuit detected
• E2 Over load or over temperature
• E3 Under voltage
• E4 Over voltage
I have a SmartShunt in my VW California with Smart Solar 75/15 and Orion Tr Smart 12/12/30 charging 2 x110Ah Lifepo4. I installed my shunt with fully charged batteries. Performed a zero calibration then manually set SOC to 100%. Then I enabled both chargers. It has since worked as expected.
I've wired my Phoenix inverter remote to the out of the smart battery protect as shown in the Victron manual and I can confirm that it does not switch off the inverter. There is a voltage of 1.63v at the remote terminal when the battery protect is activated. This voltage is sufficient to allow...
I agree. The safety instructions clearly state the it will run hot under usual conditions and always provide proper ventilation during charging .
So Victron has clearly stated the installation requirements but they cannot enforce the reading and comprehension of their instruction manual.
