5. CONFIGURATION
Settings may only be changed by a qualified engineer.
Carefully read the instructions before changes are made.
Batteries should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated area during charging.
5.1 Standard settings: ready for use
On delivery, the Phoenix inverter is set to standard factory values. In general, these settings are suitable for stand-alone operation.

5.2 Explanation of settings

Output frequency
Adjustability: 50Hz; 60Hz
Inverter voltage
Adjustability: 210 – 245V
ECO Mode
If ECO mode is 'on', the power consumption in no-load operation is decreased by approx. 80...90%. In this mode the Phoenix Inverter
Smart, when operating in inverter mode, is switched off in case of no load or very low load, and switches on every two and a half
seconds for a short period (adjustable). If the output current exceeds a set level, the inverter will continue to operate. If not, the inverter
will shut down again.
The ECO Mode can be set with the push button on the front of the inverter.
The ECO Mode "shut down" and "remain on" load levels can be set with Victron Connect .
The factory settings are:
Shut down: 50 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).
Dynamic Cut-off
Use VictronConnect to enable and configure Dynamic Cut-off (see
dynamic-cutoff
for details).
Do not use Dynamic Cut-off in an installation that also has other loads connected to the same battery: the battery voltage will drop
because of the extra load, but the Dynamic Cut-off algorithm in the Inverter is not aware of that load: hence the Inverter will shut down
too early with an under voltage alarm.
5.3 Configuration by computer
All settings can be changed by means of a smartphone, tablet or computer
For changing settings with a smartphone or tablet, the following is required:
- VictronConnect software: can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VictronConnect software: can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
- A VE.Direct to USB interface.
6. MAINTENANCE
The Phoenix Inverter Smart 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.
