2. DESCRIPTION

SinusMax - Superior engineering

Developed for professional duty, the Phoenix range of inverters is suitable for the widest range of applications. The design criteria have been to produce a true sine wave inverter with optimised efficiency but without compromise in performance.

Employing hybrid HF technology, the result is a top quality product with compact dimensions, light in weight and capable of supplying power, problem-free, to any load.

Extra start-up power

A unique feature of the SinusMax technology is very high start-up power.

Conventional high frequency technology does not offer such extreme performance. Phoenix inverters, however, are well suited to power up difficult loads such as compressors, electric motors and similar appliances.

Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel and 3-phase operation capability

Up to 6 inverters can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Six 24/5000 units, for example, will provide 30 kVA output power. Operation in 3-phase configuration is also possible.

To transfer the load to another AC source: the automatic transfer switch

If an automatic transfer switch is required, we recommend to using the MultiPlus or Quattro instead. The switch is included in these products and the charger function of the MultiPlus/Quattro can be disabled. Computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption because the MultiPlus/Quattro features a very short switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds).

Programmable relay

The Phoenix Inverter is equipped with a programmable relay, which by default is set as an alarm relay. The relay can be programmed for all kinds of other applications however, for example as a starter relay for a generating set.

Programmable with DIP switches or personal computer

The Phoenix Inverter is supplied ready for use. The following features are available for changing certain settings if desired:

— The most important settings can be changed in a very simple manner, using DIP switches.
— All settings can be changed with a PC and free of charge software, downloadable from our website www.victronenergy.com

3. OPERATION

3.1 On/Off Switch

When switched to "on", the product is fully functional. The inverter will come into operation and the LED "inverter on" will light up.

3.2 Remote control

Remote control is possible with a simple on/off switch or with a Phoenix Inverter Control panel.

4. INSTALLATION

This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer.

4.1 Location

The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10 cm around the appliance for cooling.

Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:

• Reduced service life.
• Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.

Never position the appliance directly above the batteries.

The Phoenix Inverter is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting purposes, a hook and two holes are provided at the back of the casing (see appendix G). The device can be fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling, vertical fitting is preferred.

The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.

Try to keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize cable voltage losses.

For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant environment. You should prevent the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.

4.2 Connection of battery cables

In order to utilize the full capacity of the product, batteries with sufficient capacity and battery cables with sufficient cross section should be used. See table.

* '2x' means two positive and two negative cables.

Remark: Internal resistance is the important factor when working with low capacity batteries. Please consult your supplier or the relevant sections of our book “electricity on board”, downloadable from our website.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to connect the battery cables:

Use a torque wrench with insulated box spanner in order to avoid shorting the battery.

Maximum torque: 11 Nm

Avoid shorting the battery cables.

• Undo the four screws at the front of the enclosure and remove the front panel.
• Connect the battery cables: see Appendix A.
• Tighten the nuts well for minimal contact resistance.

4.3 Connection of the AC cabling

This is a Safety Class I product (supplied with a protective grounding terminal).

The neutral output of the inverter is connected to the enclusure.

This to ensure proper functioning of a GFCI (or RCCB) to be installed in the AC output of the Inverter.

The chassis of the product must be connected to ground, or the frame (of a vehicle) or the ground plate or hull (of a boat).

The terminal block can be found on the printed circuit board, see Appendix A. Use a three-wire cable with a flexible core and a cross section of 2.5 or 4 mm ^2

Procedure

The AC output cable can be connected directly to the terminal block "AC-out".

4.4 Optional Connections

A number of optional connections are possible:

4.4.1 Remote Control

The product can be remotely controlled in two ways.

• With an external switch (connection terminal H, see appendix A). Operates only if the switch on the Inverter is set to "on".
• With a Phoenix Inverter Control panel (connected to one of the two RJ48 sockets C, see appendix A). Operates only if the switch on the inverter is set to "on".

Only one remote control can be connected, i.e. either a switch or a remote control panel.

4.4.2. Programmable relay

The inverters are equipped with a multi-functional relay that by default is programmed as an alarm relay. (VEConfigure software needed to change relay functionality).

4.4.3 Parallel Connection

The Phoenix Inverter can be connected in parallel with several identical devices. To this end, a connection is established between the devices by means of standard RJ45 UTP cables. The system (Two or more inverters plus optional control panel) will require subsequent configuration (see Section 5).

In the event of connecting units in parallel, the following requirements must be met:

• A maximum of six units connected in parallel.
  • Only identical devices with the same power ratings may be connected in parallel.
• Battery capacity should be sufficient.

- The DC connection cables to the devices must be of equal length and cross-section.

- If a positive and a negative DC distribution point is used, the cross-section of the connection between the batteries and the DC distribution point must at least equal the sum of the required cross-sections of the connections between the distribution point and the Inverter units.

- Place the units close to each other, but allow at least 10 cm for ventilation purposes under, above and beside the units.

- UTP cables must be connected directly from one unit to the other (and to the remote panel). Connection/splitter boxes are not permitted.

- Only one remote control means (panel or switch) can be connected to the system.

4.4.4 Three-phase operation

The Phoenix Inverter can also be used in 3-phase wye (Y) configuration. To this end, a connection between the devices is made by means of standard RJ45 UTP cables (the same as for parallel operation). The system (Inverters plus an optional control panel) will require subsequently configuration (see Section 5).

Pre-requisites: see Section 4.4.3.

Note: the Phoenix Inverter is not suitable for 3-phase delta ( ) configuration.

5. CONFIGURATION

• Settings may only be changed by a qualified electrical engineer.
• Read the instructions thoroughly before implementing changes.

5.1 Standard settings: ready for use

On delivery, the Phoenix Inverter is set to standard factory values. In general, these settings are suitable fo stand-alone operation.

Standard factory settings

Inverter frequency 50 Hz

Inverter voltage 230 VAC

Stand-alone / parallel / 3-phase

AES (Automatic Economy Switch) off

Programmable relay

stand-alone

alarm function

5.2 Explanation of settings

Settings that are not self-explanatory are described briefly below. For further information, please refer to the help files in the software configuration programs (see Section 5.3).

Inverter frequency

Output frequency

Adjustability: 50Hz; 60Hz

Inverter voltage

Output voltage of the Inverter.

Adjustability: 210 - 245V

Stand-alone / parallel operation / 2-3 phase setting

Using several devices, it is possible to:

• increase total inverter power (several devices in parallel)
- create a 3-phase system.

To this end, the devices must be mutually connected with RJ45 UTP cables.

Standard device settings, however, are such that each device operates in stand-alone operation. Reconfiguration of the devices is therefore required.

AES (Automatic Economy Switch)

If this setting is turned 'on', the power consumption in no-load operation and with low loads is decreased by approx. 20%, by slightly 'narrowing' the sinusoidal voltage.

The AES Mode can be set with a DIP switch.

Applicable in stand-alone configuration only.

Search Mode (Applicable in stand-alone configuration only)

If search mode is 'on', the power consumption in no-load operation is decreased by approx. 70%. In this mode the inverter is switched off in case of no load or very low load, and switches on every two seconds for a short period. If the output current exceeds a set level, the inverter will continue to operate. If not, the inverter will shut down again.

Not adjustable with DIP switches.

The Search Mode “shut down” and “remain on” load levels can be set with VEConfigure.

The standard settings are:

Shut down: 40 Watt (linear load)

Turn on: 100 Watt (linear load)

Programmable relay

By default, the programmable relay is set as an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-energise in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm (inverter almost too hot, ripple on the input almost too high, battery voltage almost too low). Not adjustable with DIP switches.

5.3 Configuration by computer

All settings can be changed by means of a computer.

The most common settings can be changed by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.5).

NOTE:

This manual is intended for products with firmware xxxx400 or higher (with x any number)

The firmware number can be found on the microprocessor, after removing the front panel.

It is possible to update older units, as long as that same 7 digit number starts with either 26 or 27. When it starts with 19 or 20 you have an old microprocessor and it is not possible to update to 400 or higher.

For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:

• VEConfigure3 software: can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
• A MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) interface. Alternatively, the Interface MK2.2b (VE.Bus to RS232) can be used (RJ45 UTP cable needed).

5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup

VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which systems with a maximum of three Phoenix Inverters (parallel or three phase operation) can be configured in a simple manner. VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.

You can download the software free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.

5.3.2 VE.Bus System Configurator

For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more Inverters, VE.Bus System Configurator software must be used. You can download the software at www.victronenergy.com . VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.

5.4 Configuration with DIP switches

A number of settings can be changed using DIP switches (see appendix A, position I).

Procedure:

• Turn the Inverter on, preferably unloaded.
• Set the DIP switches for:

o AES (Automatic Economy Switch)
- Inverter voltage
- Inverter frequency

- To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (upper button to the right of the DIP switches, see appendix A, position J).

Remarks:

• DIP switches ds8,ds7,ds6,ds2 and ds1 are not assigned and should remain off.
• The DIP switch functions are described in 'top to bottom' order. Since the uppermost DIP switch has the highest number (8), descriptions start with the switch numbered 5.
• These settings are not relevant for slaves. They are however relevant for followers. If you don't want to bother about an Inverter being a master/slave/follower then the easiest and most straight forward way is to set all settings identically on all Inverters.

5.4.1 AES (Automatic Economy Switch)

Procedure: set ds5 to the required value:

ds5

$$ \text { off } = \text { AES off } $$

$$ \text { on } = \text { AES on } $$

Note: The AES option is only effective if the unit is used 'stand alone'.

5.4.2 Inverter voltage

Procedure: set ds4 to the required value:

ds4

$$ \mathrm{off} = 2 4 0 \mathrm{V} $$

$$ \mathrm{on} = 2 3 0 \mathrm{V} $$

5.4.3 Inverter frequency

Procedure: set ds3 to the required value:

ds3

$$ \mathrm{off} = 6 0 \mathrm{Hz} $$

$$ \mathrm{on} = 5 0 \mathrm{Hz} $$

5.4.4. Important note on ds2 and ds1

If the last 3 digits of the firmware is in the 100 range (so the firmware number is xxxx1xx (with x any number) then ds1 & ds2 can be used to set the inverter in stand-alone, parallel or three-phase. Please consult the appropriate manual.

To store the settings after the dipswitches are set according to the required values: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (upper button to the right of the DIP switches, see appendix A, position J). The overload and low-battery LED's will flash to indicate acceptance of the settings.

The DIP switches can be left in the selected positions, so that the settings can always be recovered.

6. MAINTENANCE

The Phoenix Inverter does not require specific maintenance. It will suffice to check all connections once a year. Avoid moisture and oil/soot/vapours, and keep the device clean.

7. FAULT INDICATIONS

With the procedures below, most errors can be quickly identified. If an error cannot be resolved, please refer to your Victron Energy supplier.

7.1 General error indications

Problem	Cause	Solution
Inverter operation not initiated when switched on.	The battery voltage is excessively high or too low. No voltage on DC connection.	Ensure that the battery voltage is within the correct range.
“Low battery” LED flashes.	The battery voltage is low.	Charge the battery or check the battery connections.
“Low battery” LED lights.	The converter switches off because the battery voltage is too low.	Charge the battery or check the battery connections.
“Overload” LED flashes.	The converter load is higher than the nominal load.	Reduce the load.
“Overload” LED lights.	The converter is switched off due to excessively high load.	Reduce the load.
“Temperature” LED flashes or lights.	The environmental temperature is high, or the load is too high.	Install the converter in cool and well-ventilated environment, or reduce the load.
“Low battery” and “overload” LEDs flash intermittently.	Low battery voltage and excessively high load.	Charge the batteries, disconnect or reduce the load, or install higher capacity batteries. Fit shorter and/or thicker battery cables.
“Low battery” and “overload” LEDs flash simultaneously.	Ripple voltage on the DC connection exceeds 1,5Vrms.	Check the battery cables and battery connections. Check whether battery capacity is sufficiently high, and increase this if necessary.
“Low battery” and “overload” LEDs light.	The inverter is switched off due to an excessively high ripple voltage on the input.	Install batteries with a larger capacity. Fit shorter and/or thicker battery cables, and reset the inverter (switch off, and then on again).
One alarm LED lights and the second flashes.	The inverter is switched off due to alarm activation by the lighted LED. The flashing LED indicates that the inverter was about to switch off due to the related alarm.	Check this table for appropriate measures in regard to this alarm state.

7.2 VE.Bus LED indications

Inverters included in a VE.Bus system (a parallel or 3-phase arrangement) can provide so-called VE.Bus LED indications. These LED indications can be subdivided into two groups: OK codes and error codes.

7.2.1 VE.Bus OK codes

If the internal status of a device is in order but the device cannot yet be started because one or more other devices in the system indicate an error status, the devices that are in order will indicate an OK code. This facilitates error tracing in a VE.Bus system, since devices not requiring attention are easily identified as such.

Important: OK codes will only be displayed if a device is not inverting!

• The "inverter on" LED must flash.
• A flashing "overload" LED indicates that the device can perform inverter operation.
• A flashing "temperature" LED indicates that the device is not blocking charge operation. (This is just a formal indication which originates from the relationship with the Phoenix Multi. This indication has no special meaning on a Phoenix Inverter)

NOTE: The "low battery" LED can function together with the OK code that indicates that the device does not block charge.

7.2.2 VE.Bus error codes

If a VE.Bus error occurs (example: a broken UTP cable) the system will switch off and the 'inverter on' LED will flash.

If such an error occurs one should switch all units off, verify all cabling and switch the units on again.

Additional information about the error can be retrieved from the Inverter with the VE.BUS System Configurator or the VE.BUS Quick Configure tool.
