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.
There are two options available:
This option allows a Bluetooth connection to made within the first 30 seconds after a power-up; enabling a firmware update to be completed or Bluetooth to be re-enabled. If no Bluetooth connection is made within the first 30 seconds, then Bluetooth is disabled thereafter.
To disable Bluetooth:
Connect the Blue Smart IP67 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the POWER LED will illuminate and the STATUS LED will begin to blink fast.
Using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet), open the VictronConnect app and locate the Blue Smart IP67 Charger in the Device list Local page, then connect to the device (the default PIN code is stated on a label located on the side of the charger, or try 000000 if there is no label).
Select the Settings icon (gear in the top right corner) to access the Settings page.
Select the Device options icon (three vertical dots in the top right corner) to access the Device options dropdown menu.
Select Product info from the dropdown menu to access the Product info page.
Select the dropdown arrow in the Bluetooth field, then select Enabled for 30 seconds from the dropdown menu.
Read the warning message, then tick the checkbox and select OK to proceed.
End the current Bluetooth session by exiting into the VictronConnect Device list, a final pop-up dialog box will appear when attempting to exit.
Read the warning message, then select OK to accept and progress.
Bluetooth operation has now been disabled, except for 30 second after every power-up.
Notice
Note: This option will permanently disable Bluetooth; use with extreme caution, as this procedure is irreversible.
To disable Bluetooth permanently:
Connect the Blue Smart IP67 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the POWER LED will illuminate and the STATUS LED will begin to blink fast.
Using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet), open the VictronConnect app and locate the Blue Smart IP67 Charger in the Device list Local page, then connect to the device (the default PIN code is stated on a label located on the side of the charger, or try 000000 if there is no label).
Select the Settings icon (gear in the top right corner) to access the Settings page.
Select the Device options icon (three vertical dots in the top right corner) to access the Device options dropdown menu.
Select Product info from the dropdown menu to access the Product info page.
Select the dropdown arrow in the Bluetooth field, then select Disabled from the dropdown menu.
Read the warning message, then tick the checkbox and select OK to proceed.
A four digit code is provided to avoid Bluetooth being permanently disabled accidentally, if you are sure that you want to permanently disable Bluetooth enter the code, then select OK.
This is the last chance to abort; after Bluetooth has been permanently disabled it is irreversible and cannot be re-enabled later.
End the current Bluetooth session by exiting into the VictronConnect Device list Local page, a final pop-up dialog box will appear when attempting to exit.
Read the warning message, then select OK to proceed.
Bluetooth operation has now been permanently disabled.
