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 Smart is a Inverter. It is designed to operate with a 48V battery bank and produces a pure AC sine wave at 230V. • Low battery voltage alarm trip and reset levels •...
Inverter RS Smart A custom maximum charge current can be set in the VictronConnect app. Battery charging will take place up to approximately 98% battery state of charge. The charger algorithm is the same as for the BlueSolar MPPT solar controllers. This provides built-in battery preset parameters, and allows for expert mode to define additional charging parameters.
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 3.8. User I/O 3.8.1. Remote on/off connector The remote on/off has two terminals: Remote L and Remote H. A remote on/off switch or relay contact can be connected between L and H. Alternatively, terminal H can be switched by a connection to battery positive, or terminal L can be switched by a connection to battery minus.

Inverter RS Smart Battery voltage Vb (@start-up) Multiplier Maximum absorption times Vb > 12.6 V x 2/6 01:00 hours The multiplier is applied to the maximum absorption time setting and this results in the maximum duration of the absorption period used by the charger.
Inverter RS Smart Set the current threshold that will be used to finish absorption phase before the maximum absorption time expires. When the battery current gets below the tail current for one minute, the absorption phase will end. This setting can be disabled by setting it to zero.
Inverter RS Smart Setting Explanation Default Range Ground relay When this setting is enabled, Neutral (N) will enabled enabled or be connected to protective earth (PE) when disabled the inverter is operational. This connection will be broken when the inverter is not operational.
Inverter RS Smart 5. Operation 5.1. 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 See the Technical Data table for default low battery shut down, restart and charge detect levels. They can be adjusted with VictronConnect (computer or app). Additionally another external MPPT or battery charger can also be used to recharge the battery to reach the Restart Voltage or Charge Detect voltage level.
Inverter RS Smart 6. Troubleshooting and Support Consult this chapter in case of unexpected behaviour or if you suspect a product fault. The correct troubleshooting and support process is to first consult the common issues as described in this chapter.
Inverter RS Smart 6.1.9. Error 22, 23 - Internal temperature sensor failure The internal temperature measurements are out of range. Disconnect all wires, and then reconnect all wires, to restart the unit. This error will not auto-reset. If the error remains, please contact your dealer, there might be a hardware defect.
Inverter RS Smart 6.1.17. Error 53, Error 54 - Inverter output voltage If the battery voltage is getting low and a large load is applied to the AC output the inverter is unable to maintain the proper output voltage. Re-charge the battery or reduce the AC loads to continue operation.
Inverter RS Smart SmartSolar models (not the BlueSolar models): upgrading to v1.4x firmware is a one-way trip, you cannot go back to an older firmware version once you upgrade to v1.4x. Reverting to older firmware gives error 116 (calibration data lost), this can be fixed by re-installing the v1.4x firmware.
