Ensure there is adequate free space for ventilation above and below the product and check that the ventilation vents are not blocked.
Inverter RS Smart 2. General Description The Inverter RS is a combined battery inverter and MPPT solar charge controller. It is designed to operate with a 48V battery bank, a PV input voltage range of between 80-450V, and produces a pure AC sine wave at 230V.
Inverter RS Smart 2.5. Battery charger The batteries are charged by solar energy using the built-in MPPT solar controller. It can also be charged by a PV grid inverter connected to the AC out. In this case the battery will be charged to ~98%. The built-in MPPT has a power limit of 4000W. So the maximum charging current for a 50V battery will be 80A.
This product contains potentially dangerous voltages. It should only be installed under the supervision of a suitable qualified installer with the appropriate training, and subject to local requirements. Please contact Victron Energy for further information or necessary training. Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following: ·...

Inverter RS Smart 3.11.2. Battery settings Battery voltage The RS is fixed to 48V, and is only available for 48V systems. Max charge current Allows the user to set a lower maximum charge current. Charger enabled Toggling this setting turns the Solar Charger off. The batteries will not be charged. This setting is intended only for use when carrying-out work on the installation.

Inverter RS Smart Temperature compensation Many types of battery require a lower charge voltage in warm operating conditions, and a higher charge voltage in cold operating conditions. The configured coefficient is in mV per degree Celsius for the whole battery bank, not per cell. The base temperature for the compensation is 25°C (77°F), as shown in the chart below.
Inverter RS Smart 4. Operation 4.1. Device display The inverter has an LCD screen that displays operational information. Inverter: Inverter state, Power output, Frequency and AC Voltage Battery: Battery Power (charging shows positive number, discharging shows negative number), Current, DC voltage, Temperature (*), State-of-charge (*) and Time-to-go (*).
Inverter RS Smart 4.2. STATUS - Live Data Information • MPPT [Model Number] confirms the connected device. A custom name can also be set if desired. • Solar 'Gauge' icon shows the dynamic real-time power output from the solar array. With regard to the Solar Panel voltage, note that the Solar charger will only operate once the Panel voltage has risen more than 5V above battery voltage.
