The inverters are fitted with an internal DC fuse (see table above for rating). If the DC cable length
is increased to more than 1,5 m, an additional fuse or DC circuit breaker must be inserted close to
the battery.
Reverse polarity connection of the battery wires will blow the internal fuse and can damage the
inverter. The internal fuse is not always replaceble (see table above).
3.3 Wire size for connecting the inverter chassis to ground
The earth conductor from the earth lug on the chassis to ground should have at least half the
cross-section of the conductors used for the battery connection: see Appendix B.
3.4 Connection to the load
Never connect the output of the inverter to another AC source, such as a household AC wall outlet
or a generator.
3.5 Connecting the inverter neutral output to the chassis/ground
The AC output is isolated from the DC input and the chassis. Local regulations may require a true
neutral. In this case one of the AC output wires must be connected to the chassis, and the chassis
must be connected to a reliable ground: see appendix A.

EN NO SV
3.6 Remote on/off connector
A remote on/off switch can be connected to the two-pole connector. Alternatively, the left-hand
contact of the connector can be switched to battery positive: useful in automotive applications,
wire it to the ignition contact.
Note that also the front switch needs to set to either On or ECO for the inverter to start.
3.7 Configuration
The inverter is ready for use with the factory settings (see specifications), and can be configured
with a computer (VE.Direct to USB interface cable needed), Apple and Android smartphones,
tablets and other devices (VE.Direct to Bluetooth Smart dongle needed).

4.2 ECO Mode
Set the front switch to ECO mode to reduce the power consumption in no-load operation. The
inverter will automatically switch off as soon as it detects that there is no load connected. It then
switches on, briefly, every 2,5 seconds to detect a load. If the output power exceeds the set level,
the inverter will continue to operate.
The default ECO mode wake-up minimum power is 15 Watt.
The default ECO mode search interval is 2.5 seconds
Note that the required ECO mode settings are heavily dependent on the type of load: inductive,
capacitive, non-linear. Adjustment may be needed.
4.3 Protections and automatic restarts
Overload
Some loads 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: wait 30
seconds and then restart.
After three restarts followed by another overload within 30 seconds of restarting, the inverter will
shutdown and remain off. The LEDs will signal shutdown due to overload. To restart the inverter,
switch it Off, then On.
Low battery voltage (adjustable)
The inverter will shut down when the DC input voltage drops below the low battery shutdown level.
After a minimum delay of 30 seconds, the inverter will restart if the voltages rise above the low
battery restart level.
After three restarts followed by a low battery shutdown within 30 seconds of restarting, the inverter
will shutdown and stop retrying. The LEDs will signal low battery shutdown. To restart the inverter,
switch it Off, and then On, or recharge the battery: as soon as the battery has risen and then stays
above the Charge detect level for 30 seconds, it will switch on.
See the Technical Data table for default low battery shutdown and restart levels. They can be
changed with VictronConnect (computer or app).
Alternatively Dynamic Cut-off can be implemented, see
https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ve.direct:phoenix-inverters-dynamic-cutoff
High battery voltage
Reduce DC input voltage and/or check for a faulty battery- or solar-charger in the system. After
shutting down due to a high battery voltage, the inverter will first wait 30 seconds and then retry
operation as soon as the battery voltage has dropped to acceptable level. The inverter will not
stay off after multiple retries.
High temperature
A high ambient temperature or enduring high load may result in shut down to over temperature.
The inverter will restart after 30 seconds. The inverter will not stay off after multiple retries.
Reduce load and/or move inverter to better ventilated area.
High DC ripple
High DC ripple is usually caused by loose DC cable connections and/or too thin DC wiring. After
the inverter has switched off due to high DC ripple voltage, it waits 30 seconds and then restarts.
After three restarts followed by a shutdown due to high DC ripple within 30 seconds of restarting,
the inverter will shutdown and stops retrying. To restart the inverter, switch it Off and then On.
Continuous high DC ripple reduces life expectancy of the inverter.

Appendix A
Connecting the inverter neutral output to the chassis/ground
The AC output is isolated from the DC input and the chassis. Local regulations may require a true
neutral. In this case one of the AC output wires must be connected to the chassis, and the chassis
must be connected to a reliable ground. Inside the inverter a provision has been made to be able
to connect the neural and the chassis; the way to do this is explained below.
Please be sure to disconnect the battery when connecting the neutral to protective earth (PE).
An internal PE wire, which is used to connect the neutral and the chassis, is accessible after
removing the plastic cover. A Torx T10 screwdriver is needed to loosen the four screws which
hold the plastic cover.
In the pictures below the two possible connections of the PE wire are shown:
For the 250 VA, 375 VA and 500 VA inverters:

EN NO SV
For the 800 VA and 1200 VA inverters:
For these inverters the earth wire from the chassis can be either connected to FJ1 (neutral
floating) or to FJ2 (neutral connected to earth/chassis). The labels FJ1 and FJ2 are printed on the
circuit board. The default position is FJ1, i.e. neutral is floating.
Appendix B
Wire size for connecting the inverter chassis to ground
The earth conductor from the earth lug on the chassis to ground should have at least half the

Bevist pålitelighet
Hele broen med topologi for toroidal transformator har bevist sin pålitelighet gjennom mange år.
Vekselrettere er kortslutningssikre og beskyttet mot overoppheting, enten det skyldes
overbelastning eller høy omgivelsestemperatur.
Høy oppstartkraft
Kreves for å starte belastninger som strømomformere for LED-lamper, glødelamper eller elektrisk
verktøy.
ØKO-modus
I ØKO-modus, vil vekselretteren gå i standby når belastningen er under en forhåndsinnstilt verdi.
Den vil slås på og sjekke hvert par sekunder, justerbar, om belastning har økt igjen.
Ekstern av/på-bryter
En ekstern av/på-bryter kan kobles til en kontakt med to poler eller mellom batteri plussiden og
den venstre kontakten til kontakt med to poler.
Diagnose med LED
En rød og en grønn LED indikerer betjening av vekselretteren og status for de forskjellige
beskyttelsene.
Slik overfører du belastningen til en annen vekselstrømskilde: den automatiske
overføringsbryteren
Vi anbefaler Filax automatisk overføringsbryter for våre vekselrettere med lav effekt. Filax kommer
med en veldig kort omstillingstid (mindre enn 20 millisekunder), slik at datamaskiner og annet
elektronisk utstyr fortsetter å fungere uten forstyrrelser.

For best mulig driftsresultat, bør vekselretteren plasseres på en flat overflate. Sikre en problemfri
drift av vekselretteren ved å bruke den på steder som oppfyller følgende krav:
d) Unngå kontakt med vann. Utsett aldri vekselretteren for regn eller fuktighet.
e) Plasser aldri enheten i direkte sollys. Omgivelsestemperaturen skal være mellom
-20 °C og 40 °C (fuktighet < 95 % uten kondens). Merk at i ekstreme situasjoner, kan
temperaturen på den ytre siden av vekselretteren overstige 70 °C.
f) Luftstrømmen rundt vekselretteren må aldri hindres. La det være en avstand på minst
10 centimeter
rundt vekselretteren. Når vekselretteren er for varmt, vil den slå seg av. Når
vekselretteren har nådd et sikkert temperaturnivå, vil enheten starte automatisk på nytt.

Vekselrettere har en intern DC-sikring (se tabellen over). Hvis lengden på DC-kabel økes til mer
enn 1,5 m, må en ekstra sikring eller likestrømsbryter settes inn i nærheten av batteriet.
Omvendt polaritetstilkobling av batteritrådene kan føre til blåsing av den interne sikringen og kan
skade vekselretteren. Den interne sikringen kan ikke alltid byttes ut (se tabellen over).
3.3 Ledningsstørrelse for tilkobling av vekselretterens chassis til bakken
Jordleder fra jordklemmen på chassiset til jorden skal minst ha halvparten av tverrsnittet av
lederne som brukes til batteritilkoblingen: se vedlegg B.
3.4 Tilkobling til belastning
Vekselretterens utgang må aldri kobles til en annen vekselstrømskilde, for eksempel et
vekselstrømuttak for husholdningsveggbruk eller en generator.
3.5 Tilkobling av vekselretterens nøytrale utgang til chassiset/jorden
AC-utgangen er isolert fra DC-inngangen og chassiset. Lokale forskrifter kan kreve en ekte
nøytral. Derfor må en av AC-utgangstrådene kobles til chassiset, og chassiset kobles til en
pålitelig jord: se vedlegg A.

3.6 Ekstern av/på-bryter
En ekstern av/på-bryter kan kobles til kontakten med to poler. Koblingskontakten til venstre kan
skiftes til batteriets positive side: nyttig i billapplikasjoner, koble ledninger til tenningskontakten.
Merk at frontbryteren må også stille på enten På eller ØKO slik at vekselretteren kan starte.
3.7 Konfigurasjon
Vekselretteren kan nå brukes med fabrikkinnstillingene (se spesifikasjoner), og kan konfigureres
med en datamaskin (VE.Direct to USB-grensesnittkabel er nødvendig), Apple- og Android-
smarttelefoner, nettbrett og andre enheter (VE.Direct to Bluetooth Smart dongle er nødvendig).
