I have this tensioner and had the same issue. Sorted by fitting a half link to shorten the chain and get more wrap around the rear sprocket.

eyyy, that's really good to know! Thanks... so I'm definitely going to go for maximum wrap and try to make this set up a bit more oaf-proof.
The tensioner is chunkier than I was expecting - unscientific holding-in-the-hand method says it weighs more than the DA7800 RD it replaced, too. Hopefully it can be tweaked for a more 'fit and forget' operation.

The tensioner pulls the chain out and so there's noticeably fewer links about the sprocket - I've lost maybe third of wrappage, I think. Slipping is a sharp 'snap' sound when I stand on the pedals to push off
with my mighty nay awesome powersI think I'm going to look at setting the tensioner to push the chain in (remove the spring) and fix it in place. And make sure my chainline is straight as. I tend to do things by eye and well... [marty_feldman.gif].
