Blue Smart IP22 Charger

Automated firmware update

The Blue Smart IP22 Charger firmware can be automatically updated using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app.

The latest product firmware is embedded within the VictronConnect app and loaded to the Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet) when the VictronConnect app is installed/updated, accordingly the VictronConnect app will include the latest product Firmware as as long as it is kept up to date, and no internet connection is required during the firmware update process.

Settings and operational history are preserved during a firmware update; no additional re-configuration is necessary after completion of a firmware update.

There are two levels of automated firmware update:

  1. Optional: The new firmware update is optional, but recommended to obtain the latest improvements and features.

  2. Mandatory: The new firmware update is mandatory, typically because the new firmware contains a critical improvement or operational fix. Settings will be locked and inaccessible until the firmware is updated.

To update firmware automatically:

  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.
