Victron energy Phoenix Inverter Smart 12 1600 230V Manual page 8

After three restarts followed by a low battery shutdown within 30 seconds of restarting, the
inverter will shutdown and stop retrying. The LEDs will signal low battery shutdown. To restart
the inverter, switch it Off, and then On, or recharge the battery: as soon as the battery has
risen and then stays above the Charge detect level for 30 seconds, it will switch on.
See the Technical Data table for default low battery shutdown and restart levels. They can be
changed with the VictronConnect App.
High battery voltage
Reduce DC input voltage and/or check for a faulty battery- or solar-charger in the system.
After shutting down due to a high battery voltage, the inverter will first wait 30 seconds and
then retry operation as soon as the battery voltage has dropped to acceptable level. The
inverter will not stay off after multiple retries.
High temperature
A high ambient temperature or enduring high load may result in shut down to over
temperature. The inverter will restart after 30 seconds. The inverter will not stay off after
multiple retries. Reduce load and/or move inverter to better ventilated area.
High DC ripple
High DC ripple is usually caused by loose DC cable connections and/or too thin DC wiring.
After the inverter has switched off due to high DC ripple voltage, it waits 30 seconds and then
restarts.
After three restarts followed by a shutdown due to high DC ripple within 30 seconds of
restarting, the inverter will shutdown and stops retrying. To restart the inverter, switch it Off
and then On.
Continuous high DC ripple reduces the inverter life expectancy.
