Page 10: Description
DESCRIPTION General All Phoenix Combi’s are extensively tested before leaving the factory. This guarantees correct operation. For the purposes of transport the equipment packed in shock-absorbing polystyrene foam and a rigid cardboard carton. The Phoenix Combi has a rigid aluminium housing, suitable for floor and wall mounting. -
Page 11: The Battery Charger Section
Ampere = Volt = unit of current unit of voltage Watt = Hertz = unit of power unit of frequency Volt rms = Root mean square value of the voltage The output power of the Phoenix Combi inverter is: Model Continuous Start up P30 power... - Page 12 If the voltage of the connected battery is lower than 8 Vdc respectively 16 Vdc, the mains voltage must be at least 200 Vac to be able to start up the charger. In the equalize phase the charging voltage remains constant, but the charging current gradually falls.

Page 13: Temperature Sensor
1.3.1 Temperature sensor With the Phoenix Combi a temperature sensor is standardly supplied. This sensor is provided with a 3 metre long cable and is intended for measuring the temperature of the battery. If connected the charging voltage is compensated for the battery temperature. -
Page 14: Automatic Switchover
It is also possible to connect several items of Victron Energie equipment to this databus. The total of the number of units and panels that can be connected to this databus is a maximum of 32 items. -
Page 15: Protection Devices
PROTECTION DEVICES A number of protection devices are incorporated in the Phoenix Combi that protect the unit and the equipment connected from internal electronic damage. Start up power The Phoenix Combi inverter can deliver a high power for short periods (see Table in paragraph 1.2). -
Page 16: Ripple Voltage Protection
Reverse polarity indicator The Phoenix Combi has a reverse polarity indicator. By only fitting the fuse in a later stage in the unit one can see whether the battery voltage offered is of the right polarity. If the polarity is correct the fuse can be fitted and the unit is ready for operation. -
Page 17: Start-Up Battery Protection
The mains voltage (when output is fed by incoming supply) is also limited by an automatic fuse of 16 A. If this value is exceeded the fuse will break the contact. After the fault has been removed from the installation the automatic fuse can be switched on again by pressing the fuse button again, see figure 3. -
Page 18: Installation And Connection
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Location The Phoenix Combi must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. TAKE CARE! Too high an ambient temperature has the following consequences: lower output, shorter life or complete shut-down of the Phoenix Combi. See for more information section 6 (“Technical specifications”). The housing of the Phoenix Combi is suitable for floor and wall mounting. -
Page 19: Battery Cables
3.2.2 Battery cables The Table below shows recommended battery cables. The cross-section of the battery cables is such that these are suitable for continuous load and peak load. Model Length 0 – 1.5 metres Length 1.5 – 6 metres Phoenix-Combi 12/1000/50 25 mm 35 mm Phoenix-Combi 12/1600/75... -
Page 20: Connection Of Battery Cables
Ground connection For the ground connection the ground wire (ground conductor) of the mains current must be connected to the ground of the AC output terminal block “PE” (figure 4). The circuit thus created is however only active if the housing is also connected to the ground. -
Page 21: Connection Of The Start-Up Battery
Connection of the start-up battery The start-up battery must be connected with a cable with a core of at least 1.5 • Connect the positive (+) battery pole to the left side of the start-up battery connection (trickle charge), see figures 4 and 7a. •... -
Page 22: Connection Of Remote Switch
Connection of remote switch The Phoenix Combi can be switched on and off using the remote control. If with the remote control contact is made between “ground” and “on” then the Phoenix Combi is in the “on” position, if contact is made between “ground” and “charger only”... -
Page 23: Connection Of Serial Interface
Connection of the temperature sensor: • Switch off the mains voltage. • Connect the (-) black wire of the temperature sensor to the “- T-sense” connector, see figure 4 and 7. • Connect the (+) red wire of the temperature sensor to the “+ T-sense” connector, see figure 4 and 7. -
Page 24: Connection In Parallel
7.3. This makes it possible and simple to increase the load capacity. To accomplish this, a connection is made between the devices using a special cable provided by Victron Energie with a connecting diagram (ask your dealer). -
Page 25: Operation
Operation The switch and the LEDs are located on the front of the Phoenix Combi (see figure 8). Figure 8 LEDs: mains on : lights up when the mains voltage is present and the switch is set to “on”. Flashing if wall current is limited. boost : lights up when the battery charger is charging in Boost mode. -
Page 26: The Battery Charger Section
It is possible to charge different types of batteries such as traction batteries. To be able to charge these batteries the charging voltage of the charger must be changed. Contact your Victron Energie dealer or your battery supplier for the recommended charging voltages. -
Page 27: Adjustment Of The Equalize Time
• Adjust the float voltage to the required value with potentiometers R53, see figure 9. The float voltage can only be adjusted with a fully charged battery. • Correct the equalize time by pushing back DIP switch DS7. Changing the equalize voltage: •... -
Page 28: Permanent Boost Charging
When the battery is almost fully discharged, it is advisable to charge the battery for 10 hours on boost. Do not do this with gas-tight lead-acid batteries. Contact your Victron Energie dealer or your battery supplier for more information on the charging of batteries. -
Page 29: Determining The Input Current
4.1.7 Determining the input current. If a Phoenix Combi Remote Panel (PCV) is connected, normally this will determine the input current , regardless of the dipswitch setting. This is not the case when the Phoenix Combi is at “ON” position and dipswitch setting at 0 A. Figure 9 Manual... -
Page 30: The Inverter Section
The inverter section The inverter section has been specially developed for mains voltage equipment that depends on a pure sinusoidal input voltage for effective and efficient operation. Certain equipment does in fact only function without problems on a sinusoidal voltage. This applies to, amongst other things, computers, equipment for communications and precision measuring instruments. -
Page 31: Adjustment
4.2.4 Adjustment To be able to adjust the output voltage of the inverter, the housing of the Phoenix Combi must be opened. For this unfasten the four screws on the front. The output voltage of the inverter is adjusted as standard to 230 Vac. - Page 32 calculation gives the current consumption in ampere-hours and hence the total consumption capacity of the battery in ampere-hours (Ah). Multiply this value by a safety factor of 1.7. The result thus obtained indicates the required battery capacity. Below is an example of this calculation, applied to the Phoenix Combi 12/1600/75.

Page 33: The Automatic Switchover
The automatic switchover When the mains voltage is connected to the Phoenix Combi, the green “mains on” LED comes on. The load of the inverter output is then switched directly to the mains voltage. As a result the inverter will not supply any further power, see for more information paragraph 1.5. -
