  • Page 5: Description

    DESCRIPTION General Victron Atlas Combi 12/450 units are tested to ensure correct functioning before leaving the factory. They are packed in shock-absorbing polystyrene and packed in sturdy cardboard boxes for secure transportation. Along with the equipment it- self, the box also contains a manual.

  • Page 8: Protective Devices

    If the inverter is subjected to a high load, it may reach the critical limit and the overload protection will be activated. With the Atlas Combi 12/450 this critical limit is ca. 600 Watt. The overload protective device fitted to the Atlas Combi...

Changeover 4.4.1 Engaging 230 V mains If the Atlas Combi 12/450 is connected to the 230 V mains, the following sequence of events will occur: The inverter switches off. The connected load (maximum 600 Watt) is switched from the inverter to the mains network.

    13.5 V. The battery charger works with the VDL 2-step charging sys- V.D.L. = Victron trickle tem made by Victron Energie. It automatically keeps the bat- charge system tery in a perfectly charged condition for extended periods. Ex- float charge ternal equipment has immediate access to power.
  • Page 16: Frequency

    If the inverter fails to start when the external equipment re- quests power, the AES sensitivity may be increased by turn- ing potentiometer R82 to the right. Check whether the in- verter returns to “stand by” once the external equipment has switched off. victron energie user manual...
  • Page 17: Battery Charger

    The control PCB of the battery charger, which is located be- neath the rear of the sub-chassis, has two adjustment points; potentiometers P1 (equalize) and P2 (float) (see illustration 9 and page 39, drawing ac02050i).
