For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat surface. To ensure a
trouble free operation of the inverter, it must be used in locations that meet the
following requirements:
a) Avoid any contact with water. Do not expose the inverter to rain or moisture.
b) Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. Ambient air temperature should be
between -20 °C and 40 °C (humidity < 95% non condensing). Note that in
extreme situations the inverter’s case temperature can exceed 70 °C.
c) Do not obstruct the airflow around the inverter. Leave at least 10
centimetres clearance around the inverter. When the inverter is running too
hot, it will shut down. When the inverter has reached a safe temperature
level the unit will automatically restart again.
1.2 Battery requirements
For correct operation, the battery voltage should be between 0.88xVnom and
1.25xVnom where Vnom is 12V or 24V depending on the model, and must be able to
supply sufficient current to your inverter. The following table displays the
recommended battery capacity per inverter type :

EN NL FR DE ES Appendix
The inverter shuts down when the battery voltage is below 0.88xVnom or above
1.3xVnom.
Shut down and restart voltages: see technical data.
1.3 Connection to the battery
The inverters are equipped with two wires with a length of 1.5 meters. If it is
unavoidable to extend these wires, use a wire gauge of at least 1.5 times larger than
the ones supplied with the inverter. Maximum recommended battery wire length is
approx. 3 meters.
1.3.1 General precautions when working with batteries
1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can
generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark
or flame in the vicinity of a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation around the
battery.
2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near
batteries. Wash your hands when done.
3. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for
at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
4. Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal
tool onto a battery might cause a short-circuit battery and, possibly an
explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to melt a ring or the like to metal, causing severe
burns.
CAUTION
The red wire must be connected to the positive
(+) terminal and the black wire to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery.
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires can
damage the inverter!
Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered
by the warranty. Make sure the power switch is in the
OFF ‘0’ position before connecting the battery.
1.4 Connecting the load
Before you connect your appliance(s) to the inverter, always check it’s maximum
power consumption. Do not connect appliances to the inverter needing more than the
nominal power rating of the inverter continuously. Some appliances like motors or
pumps, draw large inrush currents in a start-up situation. In such circumstances, it is
possible that the start-up current exceeds the over current trip level of the inverter. In
this case the output voltage will quickly decrease to limit the output current of the
inverter. If the over current trip level is continuously exceeded, the inverter will shut
down and restart within 18 seconds. In this case it is advisable to disconnect the
appliance from the inverter, since it requires too much power to be driven by this
4
inverter. Note that at higher ambient temperature levels, the overload capacity of the
inverter is reduced.
1.5 Turning the inverter on
When all the above requirements are checked and satisfied and all connections are
made, it’s time to turn on your Phoenix inverter by pushing the power switch to the '
On ' position.
WARNING
IF THE INVERTER SWITCHES TO AN ‘ERROR
MODE’ (SEE CHAPTER 2.1) DUE TO AN
OVERLOAD OR SHORT CIRCUIT, THE INVERTER
WILL AUTOMATICALLY RESTART AFTER ABOUT
18 SECONDS.
In case of an over-temperature error, the inverter will
automatically restart after it has reached an
acceptable temperature
NEVER TOUCH THE AC CONNECTIONS WHEN
THE INVERTER IS STILL RUNNING IN AN ERROR
MODE!
WARNING
The builT in large electrolytic capacitors can hold
significant DC voltage when the batteries are
disconnected.
To avoid sparks or short inverter operation, it is
advisable to switch on the inverter for 10 seconds
after battery disconnection, before you transport the
inverter.
WARNING
WHEN CONNECTING MORE THAN ONE
APPLIANCE TO THE INVERTER, IN
COMBINATION WITH A COMPUTER, NOTE
THAT IF ONE OF THE APPLIANCES DRAWS A
HIGH START CURRENT, IT CAN CAUSE YOUR
COMPUTER TO REBOOT DUE TO A SUDDEN
VOLTAGE DROP.
CAUTION
Never connect the inverter’s output to the AC
distribution grid, SUCH AS your household AC
wall outlet. IT WILL DAMAGE THE INVERTER.

2. Troubleshooting
2.1 The flash sequence table
Your Phoenix inverter is equipped with a self-diagnosis system, to inform you about
the cause of inverter shut down.
In the table below you can find out what kind of flashing sequence belongs to which
error.
2.2 Troubleshooting guidelines
PROBLEM : Inverter is not working (LED OFF)
Possible cause : Remedy :
Power switch in OFF position. Push the power switch to the ON
position.
Poor contact between the inverter’s
battery wires and the battery terminals.
Clean battery terminals or inverter wire
contacts. Tighten battery terminal
screws.
Blown inverter fuse. The inverter has to be returned for
service.
Very poor battery condition. Replace battery.
PROBLEM : ‘Battery voltage too low or too high’ error keeps on appearing
Possible cause :
Remedy :
Poor battery condition. Replace battery or charge it first.
Poor connection or inadequate wiring
between battery and inverter,
resulting in too much voltage drop.
When extending the battery wires of the
inverter make sure you use the correct
wire gauge (≥ 1.5 times larger than the
fixed battery wires). It’s not advisable to
extend the battery wires to more than 3
meters.
General failure in your electrical
system (in case of no direct battery
connection).
Check your electrical system or consult
an electrical engineer to check it for
you.

PROBLEM
: ‘Overloaded or shorted output’ error keeps on appearing
Possible cause :
Remedy :
Inverter is overloaded. Make sure that the total power rating of
the connected equipment is lower than
the nominal inverter power rating.
Connected equipment features a bad
power factor
Reduce the required power
consumption of the load. Please note
that, for example, a computer load
features a bad power factor, which
causes a reduction of the maximum
output power of the inverter by approx.
20%.
Connected equipment causes a short
circuit at the inverter’s output.
Make sure that the connected
equipment is not broken or
malfunctioning. Check if the AC power
cord between the inverter and the
connected equipment is OK. Any
physical damage on the power cord can
produce a short circuit. Be careful!.
PROBLEM : ‘Inverter temperature too high. Cooling down’ error keeps on
appearing
Possible cause :
Remedy :
Airflow around the inverter is
obstructed.
Make sure there is at least 10
centimetres of clearance around the
inverter. Remove any items placed on
or over the inverter. Keep the inverter
away from direct sunlight or heat
producing equipment.
Too high ambient temperature. Move the inverter to a cooler place or
provide additional cooling by an
external fan.
Note: Don’t turn-off the inverter when it’s operating in an ‘Inverter temperature too
high. Cooling down’ error. The inverter needs this error time to cool down.
If none of the above remedies helps to solve the problem you encounter, contact your
local Victron Energy distributor for further help and/or possible repair of your inverter.
Do not open the inverter yourself, there are dangerous high voltages present inside.
Opening the inverter will directly void your 12 months warranty period.

elektrische energievoorzieningsystemen internationale bekendheid verworven.
Victron Energy heeft deze wereldfaam met name te danken aan de voortdurende
inspanningen van de ontwikkelingsafdeling. Deze afdeling houdt zich bezig met
onderzoek naar en realisatie van mogelijkheden om nieuwe technologieën die zinvolle
technische en economische bijdragen leveren, in de producten van Victron Energy te
implementeren.
Deze beproefde filosofie heeft geleid tot de ontwikkeling van een complete serie
energieverzorgende apparatuur waarin de laatste technische ontwikkelingen zijn
verwerkt. De apparatuur van Victron Energy voldoet aan de strengste eisen.
Victron Energy levert kwalitatief hoogwaardige wisselstroomvoor-zieningen voor
gebruik op plaatsen waar geen permanente aansluiting op het elektriciteitsnet (230 of
115 Vac) voorhanden is.
Met behulp van de apparatuur van Victron Energy kan een automatisch ‘stand alone’
energievoorzieningsysteem worden gecreëerd. Maak voor de configuratie naast
krachtige accu’s gebruik van een omvormer en een acculader.
De apparatuur van Victron Energy is geschikt voor alle soorten elektrische apparaten
voor huishoudelijk, technisch, en industrieel gebruik, inclusief storingsgevoelige
instrumenten. De Victron Energy systemen zijn hoogwaardige energiebronnen die

Om een probleemloze werking van de omvormer te kunnen garanderen, moet de
locatie waarin deze wordt geïnstalleerd aan de volgende eisen voldoen:
a) Vermijdt elk contact met water. Stel de omvormer niet bloot aan regen of
mist.
b) Plaats de omvormer niet in direct zonlicht.
De omgevingstemperatuur moet tussen -20 °C en 40 °C liggen
(luchtvochtigheid < 95% niet condenserend). In extreme situaties kan de
behuizing van de omvormer een temperatuur bereiken van meer dan 70 °C.
c) Vermijd obstructie van de luchtstroming rond de omvormer. Laat minstens
10 centimeter ruimte vrij rond de omvormer. Wanneer de omvormer een te
hoge temperatuur heeft bereikt, zal deze zichzelf uitschakelen. Als de
omvormer is afgekoeld tot een acceptabele temperatuur schakelt deze
weer in.

EN NL FR DE ES Appendix
1.2 Accu eisen
Voor een correcte werking moet de accuspanning tussen 0,88xVnom en 1,25xVnom
liggen, Vnom is afhankelijk van het model 12V of 24V. De accu moet in staat zijn om
voldoende stroom te kunnen leveren aan de omvormer. De volgende tabel geeft de
geadviseerde accu capaciteit weer:
Omvormer model: Iin bij Pnom : Geadviseerde
accu capaciteit:
Ph 12/180 15 Adc
≥
60Ah
Ph 24/180 7,5 Adc
≥
30Ah
Ph 12/350 30 Adc
≥
100Ah
Ph 24/350 15 Adc
≥
60Ah
De omvormer schakelt uit wanneer de accuspanning onder 0,88xVnom of boven
1,3xVnom ligt.
Start en stop spanningen: zie technische gegevens.
1.3 Het aansluiten van de accu
De omvormers zijn uitgerust met twee accu aansluit kabels met een lengte van 1,5
meter. Als verlenging van de accukabels onvermijdelijk is, moet een draad diameter
worden gebruikt van minstens 1,5 keer de diameter van de vaste omvormer kabels.
De maximum aanbevolen accukabel lengte is circa 3 meter.
1.3.1 Voorzorgsmaatregelen omtrent het werken met accu's
1. Werken in de nabijheid van accu's kan gevaarlijk zijn. Accu's kunnen
explosieve gassen produceren. Vermijd roken, vonken of open vuur in de
buurt van accu's. Zorg voor voldoende ventilatie.
2. Draag oog en kleding bescherming. Vermijd het aanraken van de ogen
wanneer er met accu's gewerkt wordt. Was de handen na het werken met
accu's.
3. Als accuzuur in contact komt met de huid of kleding, was dit dan
onmiddellijk af met water en zeep. Als het zuur in contact komt met de
ogen, spoel dan onmiddellijk met koud stromend water. Doe dit gedurende
15 minuten en roep zo nodig medische hulp in.
4. Wees voorzichtig met het gebruik van metalen gereedschap in de buurt van
accu's. Het laten vallen van metalen objecten op de accu kan kortsluiting en
explosie gevaar opleveren.
5. Verwijder persoonlijke zaken zoals ringen, armbanden, horloges en
kettingen wanneer met accu's gewerkt wordt. Accu's kunnen
kortsluitstromen veroorzaken die metalen objecten volledig kunnen laten
smelten met ernstige brandwonden tot gevolg.
