Is the engine running?

Not when I took screenshot

Then that's expected?

The DC-DC charger has detected the drop in voltage and shut down to prevent draining the starter battery.

Not when I took screenshot

That’s why then

Under your settings charging will shut down when main electrics voltage drops below 13.10v (and in your screen shot it is 12.2v)

Also in your settings charging should start when it sees a voltage of 14v - indicating that the smart alternator is charging.

The delayed start settings gives the main electrics 2 minutes to settle down - you don't want the DC-DC charge kicking in and taking a significant load if the van isn't starting well...
