Blue Smart IP65 Charger

Disabling Bluetooth

If required, Bluetooth communication can be totally disabled using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app.

Typically, there is no need to disable Bluetooth since unauthorised access is protected with a PIN code, but certain situations may warrant it for an even higher level of security or in highly specialised installations where the Bluetooth radio frequency is undesirable.

To disable Bluetooth:

  1. Connect the Blue Smart IP65 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the TEST LED will begin to blink, until the charger determines if the battery will successfully accept charge (for up to 2 minutes).

  2. Using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet), open the VictronConnect app and locate the Blue Smart IP65 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).
