Detailed description

The Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A 360W non-isolated DC-DC converter/charger from VICTRON ENERGY is an advanced solution for managing the power supply in 24V embedded systems requiring a 12V battery charge or supply. Part of the Orion-Tr Smart range, this model converts voltage from 24V to 12V with a continuous current of 30A at 40°C, delivering 360W. Its non-isolated design is suitable for setups where a common ground between input and output is acceptable, optimizing efficiency and installation simplicity.

Connectivity and Integrated Intelligence

This converter/charger features Bluetooth Smart technology, enabling configuration, monitoring, and software updates via the VictronConnect app on a smartphone or tablet. It includes a 3-stage adaptive charging algorithm (bulk – absorption – float) for lead-acid and lithium batteries, with a fixed absorption duration of 2 hours by default for lithium batteries. A fixed output voltage can also be selected for use as a stabilized power supply. Compatibility with smart alternators (Euro 5/6) is ensured by an engine-running detection mechanism, preventing starter battery discharge and protecting the alternator in lithium systems.

Performance and Flexible Integration

The Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A operates within an input voltage range of 20-35V and delivers a nominal output voltage of 12.2V, adjustable from 10 to 15V. Its efficiency is 88%. The device is protected against high temperatures, overloads, and short circuits, with output current reduction in case of ambient overheating. Its robustness is confirmed by IP43 protection when installed with screw terminals facing downward. For installations requiring higher power, an unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel. Compared to other Orion-Tr Smart models such as the 12/12-30 or 24/24-17, this 24/12-30A model is specifically designed for step-down voltage conversions in 24V systems, offering a high-performance alternative to isolated DC-DC chargers when galvanic isolation is not required. It is a more modern and connected solution than non-Smart DC-DC converters. Integration is simplified by screw terminals requiring no specific tools and a remote on/off function.

« Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A: Victron Energy expertise for DC-DC energy management »

The Orion-Tr Smart 24/12-30A non-isolated DC-DC converter/charger from VICTRON ENERGY is a key component for optimizing the electrical architecture of vehicles and vessels equipped with a primary 24V system requiring 12V battery charging or power supply. Its non-isolated design makes it particularly suitable for setups with a common ground, either pre-existing or intentional, providing an efficient solution without the added cost or complexity of galvanic isolation when it is not strictly necessary. Compatibility with Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternators is a major advantage, enabling reliable and high-performance charging without CAN-bus intervention or additional external sensors.

Integration of Bluetooth Smart technology via the VictronConnect app significantly simplifies commissioning, diagnostics, and adjustment of charging parameters, such as the adaptive 3-stage algorithm for lead-acid and lithium batteries. This flexibility is crucial for maximizing battery bank lifespan. The ability to parallel an unlimited number of units offers valuable scalability for high-current 12V systems. Built-in protections against overheating, overcharging, and short circuits, combined with a robust design (IP43 with terminals facing downward, "potted inside" construction for enhanced environmental resistance), ensure operational reliability even in demanding marine conditions. This model represents a refined technical solution for DC-DC power conversion in modern embedded applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What are the dimensions and weight of the Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A?

The device dimensions are 130 x 186 x 70 mm (Height x Width x Depth). Its weight is 1.8 kg.

What is the operating temperature range of the device?

The Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A can operate in an ambient temperature range from -20°C to +55°C. It is important to note that a 3% reduction in output current per °C is applied above 40°C to protect the device.

What is the IP protection level of this converter?

The Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A converter/charger provides IP43 protection. This rating applies if the installation is performed with the screw terminals facing downward. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm and against water splashes.

Which types of alternators is the Orion Tr Smart converter compatible with?

The Orion Tr Smart is compatible with smart alternators, particularly those found in Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles. It includes an engine-running detection mechanism that supplies power only when the engine is running, preventing discharge of the starter battery.

Which battery types can be charged with this device?

This inverter/charger is compatible with lead-acid batteries (flooded, GEL, AGM) and lithium batteries. The 3-stage adaptive charging algorithm is optimized for these two battery technologies.

What is the required input voltage range for the Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A to operate?

The required input voltage range for the Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A to operate is 20V to 35V.

Is the 12V output voltage adjustable?

Yes, the nominal 12.2V output voltage is adjustable. You can adjust the output voltage within a range of 10V to 15V via the VictronConnect app.

Is it possible to increase the output current by connecting multiple units in parallel?

Yes, all Orion Tr Smart models are designed to be installed in parallel. You can connect an unlimited number of units in parallel to increase the total output current according to your requirements.

What are the mounting recommendations for the Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A?

For optimal performance and proper heat dissipation, the Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A should be mounted:

Vertically on a non-flammable surface.With the power terminals facing downward.While maintaining a minimum clearance of 10 cm above and below the unit.Near the battery, but never directly above to avoid damage from battery gases.

Are specific tools required to connect cables to the terminals?

No, the Orion Tr Smart 24/12-30A is equipped with screw terminals. No specific tools are required for cable installation, simplifying the process.

How to remotely turn the device on or off?

The device can be turned on or off remotely in several ways:

By connecting a remote on/off switch or relay contact to its two-pole connector.By switching the H terminal (right) of the two-pole connector to the battery's positive terminal.By switching the L terminal (left) of the two-pole connector to the battery's negative terminal (or the vehicle chassis).Via the VictronConnect app.

How does the converter prevent the starter battery from discharging when the engine is off?

The Orion Tr Smart converter integrates an engine-running detection mechanism. This intelligent system allows it to recognize when the alternator is supplying power and to charge the service battery only at that time, thus preventing the vehicle's starter battery from discharging when the engine is off.
