Victron Energy Orion-TR Smart DC-DC 12/24V 15A Isolated Charger and Power Supply

Orion-TR Smart 12/24-15A (360W) Isolated DC-DC Charger or Power Supply

The Orion-Tr Smart isolated DC-DC charger serves as a DC-DC battery charger or a power supply (also designed for use as a constant voltage source), offering a wide input and output voltage range. This is especially significant in the case of vehicles with a Euro 5 or Euro 6 smart alternator, which often supplies too low charging voltage even when the engine is running or when extended cable lengths, as is often the case in boats and RVs, lead to voltage drops. In such scenarios, precise and controlled charging is imperative to fully charge the service battery while protecting the starter/input battery from discharge.

Bluetooth Smart Enabled

• Any Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or other device can be used to monitor, change settings, and update the charger when new software features become available
• Instant Readout: The VictronConnect App can display key data, including warnings and alarms, on the device list page without the need to connect to the product

Fully programmable

• Battery charge algorithm (configurable) or fixed output.
• Smart Alternator Compatibility: engine running detection mechanism

Adaptive 3-Stage Charge Algorithm: Bulk Absorption Float

• For lead-acid batteries, it is important that during shallow discharges the absorption time is kept short to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep discharge, the absorption time is automatically increased to make sure that the battery is completely recharged
• For lithium batteries, the absorption time is fixed; the default is 2 hours
• Alternatively, a fixed output voltage can be chosen

Suitable for Use in Vehicles with a Smart Alternator (Euro 5 and Euro 6 Engines)

The built-in engine shutdown detection will stop the converter when the engine is not running. This prevents unwanted discharge of the starter battery (see manual for details).

Remote On/Off

A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected to a two-pole connector. Alternatively, the H terminal (right) of the two-pole connector can be switched to battery plus, or the L terminal (left) of the two-pole connector can be switched to battery minus (or the chassis of a vehicle, for example).

All Models Are Short Circuit Proof and Can Be Paralleled to Increase Output Current

An unlimited number of units can be connected in parallel.

High Temperature Protected

The output current will reduce at high ambient temperatures.

IP43 Protection

When installed with the screw terminals oriented downward.

The Victron Energy Orion-TR Smart DC-DC 12/24V 15A (Part Number: ORI122436120) is a versatile and reliable solution for vehicle and marine power systems. Designed to serve as both an isolated DC-DC charger and a stable power supply, this unit features a wide input voltage range of 10-17 V and a nominal output voltage of 24.2 V, making it suitable for applications with Euro 5 and Euro 6 smart alternators. Its advanced adaptive three-stage charging algorithm ensures optimal battery health by adjusting the absorption time based on discharge depth, which is particularly beneficial for lead-acid and lithium batteries. During shallow discharges, the unit shortens absorption times to prevent overcharging, while it automatically increases them after deep discharges, providing a full recharge cycle. The default fixed output voltage option offers flexibility for various power needs, and the unit's intelligent design includes engine running detection to prevent unwanted discharge when the engine is off. The Orion-TR Smart features Bluetooth connectivity, enabling remote monitoring and configuration via the VictronConnect app, which displays real-time data, warnings, and alarms directly on your smartphone or tablet. This feature simplifies setup and maintenance, ensuring that users can easily access critical information without physical connections. Its fully programmable settings allow customization of the charge algorithm, making it compatible with different battery chemistries and application requirements. The device is equipped with screw terminals for straightforward installation, and it can be paralleled with an unlimited number of units to increase current capacity, providing scalable power solutions. Built with high-temperature protection, the Orion-TR reduces output current in hot environments to safeguard internal components, and its IP43 protection rating ensures durability when installed with screw terminals downward. Safety and compliance standards are met, including EN 60950 and ECE R10-5 automotive regulations. The compact design weighs approximately 1.8 kg (3 lb) and measures roughly 5.1 x 7.3 x 2.8 inches, making it suitable for space-constrained environments. This robust unit is an essential component for maintaining reliable power in modern vehicles, boats, and RVs, especially where smart alternator compatibility and remote management are priorities. For detailed installation instructions and safety information, refer to the owner’s manual available online.
