Advanced Connectivity

The Phoenix Inverter is equipped with a VE.Direct port, allowing seamless connection to a variety of devices:

• Computer (requires VE.Direct to USB interface cable)
• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, MacBook, and other devices (requires VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle)

Fully Configurable Settings

Customize the inverter’s performance to match your specific marine power needs:

• Adjustable low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels
• Set low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels
• Dynamic cut-off based on load dependency
• Output voltage adjustable between 210V - 245V
• Frequency selectable at 50 Hz or 60 Hz
• ECO mode toggle and sensing level adjustments

Comprehensive Monitoring

Stay informed about your power system’s status with real-time monitoring:

• Input and output voltage display
• Percentage load indicator
• Alarm notifications for critical conditions

Proven Reliability

The Phoenix Inverter utilizes a full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, ensuring long-term reliability even in demanding marine environments. It is short-circuit proof and protected against overheating caused by overloads or high ambient temperatures.

High Start-Up Power

Capable of handling the initial surge required to start power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps, electric tools, and other high-startup power devices essential on board.

ECO Mode

Optimize power consumption with ECO mode, which switches the inverter to standby when the load drops below a preset value (minimum load: 15W). The inverter periodically checks the load every 2.5 seconds (adjustable) and resumes operation if the load exceeds the preset threshold.

Remote On/Off Control

Easily manage your inverter with a remote on/off switch connected to a two-pole connector or between battery positive and the left-hand contact of the two-pole connector.

LED Diagnostics

Quickly identify and resolve issues using the built-in LED diagnostic indicators. Refer to the manual for detailed descriptions of each LED signal.

Automatic Transfer Switch

Ensure uninterrupted power supply by integrating the Filax Automatic Transfer Switch, recommended for Victron’s low-power inverters. With a switchover time of less than 20 milliseconds, it guarantees that sensitive equipment like computers and electronics remain operational without disruption.
