Blue Smart IP22 Charger

Power supply mode

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger range is also suitable for use as a DC power supply, to directly power loads with or without a battery connected.

When the charger is used specifically as a DC power supply it is recommended to activate Power supply mode, which will disable the internal charge logic and provide a constant (configurable) DC voltage to the loads.

To enable power supply mode:

  1. Connect the Blue Smart IP22 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the LEDs indicating the current charge mode and charge state will illuminate.

  2. Using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet), open the VictronConnect app and locate the Blue Smart IP22 Charger in the Device list Local page, then connect to the device (the default PIN code is stated on a label located on the back of the charger, or try 000000 if there is no label).

  3. Select the Settings icon (gear in the top right corner) to access the Settings page.
