Operation - Victron energy Phoenix Inverter Smart 12 1600 230V Manual

3. OPERATION

3.1 On/Off Switch
When switched to "on" with the push button, the product is fully functional. The inverter will
come into operation and the LED "inverter" will light up. By pushing the push button
subsequently, within a short period of time, the inverter toggles between "on", "ECO" and "off".
Apart from the pushbutton; the inverter can also be switched on (normal or ECO) and off with
Bluetooth on a mobile device running iOS or Android and the Victron Connect app. However
when switched off via Bluetooth or the push button; the unit cannot be switched on and off
again via the wired VE.Direct port.
3.2 Remote control
Remote control is possible with a simple on/off switch or with a Phoenix Inverter Control
panel. A switch for remote control (on/off) can be connected to a two pole connector. The
switch can also be connected between battery plus and the left hand contact of the two pole
connector (marked "H"; see appendix A) or between battery minus and the right hand contact
of the two pole connector (marked "L"; see appendix A).
For safety purposes, this product can be turned off completely (i.e. the inverter
cannot be switched on via the push button or Bluetooth) by removing the remote
connector and its default installed wire bridge (or swtich off the remote on/off
switch if installed). The user can then be certain that the inverter cannot be
switched on accidently via Bluetooth by an unexpected other user.
