Page 10: Description
DESCRIPTION ENERAL All Victron Phoenix inverters are tested to ensure correct functioning before leaving the factory. They are packed first in shock-absorbing polystyrene and then in sturdy cardboard boxes for secure transportation. The Victron Phoenix is housed in a robust aluminum cabinet (IP21) suitable for floor or wall mounting. - Page 11 Hertz = unit of frequency The power supply of the Phoenix inverter is: continuous short term surge power power power Phoenix 12/300 300 W 400 W 1300 W Phoenix 12/500 500 W 650 W 1350 W Phoenix 24/500...

Page 12: Safety
SAFETY To protect your equipment and connected loads against internal electronic damage the following built-in safety measures are integrated in the Phoenix inverter. HORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION The inverter's output is protected against short-circuits. short circuit The short-circuit current for the 12V version is 5.5 current = (approximately). -
Page 13: Low Input Voltage Protection
31.0 V EVERSED POLARITY The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/300, 12/500, 24/500 and 24/900 are electronically protected against reverse polarity. Reversing the polarity at the input of these inverters does not damage the inverter in any way. After connecting the battery cables switch the inverter ON. -
Page 14: Ripple Voltage Protection
IPPLE VOLTAGE PROTECTION The Victron Energy Phoenix 12/300, 12/500, 24/500 and 24/900 are protected against too high ripple voltage at the input. If the rms value of the input voltage-ripple exceeds 10% of the nominal DC input voltage, the inverter will state an alarm; the LED ‘low batt.’ and the LED ‘overload’... -
Page 15: Installation And Connection
There are holes in the bottom and rear of the cabinet enabling floor or wall mounting. For dimensions see section 8 (‘Dimensions’). Except for the Phoenix 12/300 and the Phoenix 24/500, the inverter has a built in fan. The Phoenix without fan has to be mounted in a vertical position due to natural convection. -
Page 16: Connections
ONNECTIONS The connections are an important issue. The connections are situated inside the unit on the PCB (Illustration 1). The battery connections are coded and indicate the positive (‘+’) and the negative (‘-‘) connections. Illustration 1. manual... -
Page 17: Connecting The Battery Cables
Earth connection The ground connection (earth protection conductor) from the mains is located on the AC-terminal block (Illustration 1). The circuit is functional only if the cabinet is connected to earth. A M4 earth screw is fitted in the bottom of the cabinet. Connect the cabinet earth terminal to earth (Illustration 2). -

step 5. Make sure that the connections are screwed tight; (use a 10 mm or M6 spanner or wrench). 230 V ONNECTING THE CABLES The terminal block is located on the PCB (see Illustration 1). The 230 V external equipment must be connected to the inverter by means of a three-wire cable. -
Page 19: Remote Control Connection
The rms value of the ripple voltage at the input should be limited to maximum 10% of the DC input voltage. Never use a battery charger as a power supply for these Victron Energy inverters, unless batteries or a suitable ripple suppressor are connected. -
Page 20: Operation
OPERATION INDICATIONS The switch and LED’s are located on the front of the Phoenix inverter (see Illustration 4). LED’s: On = indication when unit is 'ON'. Economy = indication when unit is in ‘economy’ mode. Overload = indication for overload condition. -
Page 21: Low Battery Indication
OW BATTERY INDICATION The LED 'low batt.' will illuminate and the inverter will switch off, if the input voltage to the inverter is too low due to: • A discharged battery; • A relatively low battery capacity with respect to the high loads by which the input voltage is significantly reduced;... -
Page 22: Economy Mode
CONOMY MODE When the inverter is switched in ‘economy’ mode (bottom position of the switch), the yellow LED ‘economy’ flashes to indicate that the economy mode has been activated. The inverter starts as soon as the load at the output exceeds 26 Watt. The green LED ‘on’ lights up and the yellow LED ‘economy’... -

BATTERY CAPACITY If the power ratings are known of the equipment to be powered by the Phoenix inverter and the duration that the inverter is expected to power the equipment for, the minimum battery capacity can be calculated. Make a list of all equipment to be powered by the Phoenix inverter and sum up each single power consumption multiplied by the duration of time in hours, during which power will be consumed (Watt-hours). - Page 24 Example with a Victron Energy Phoenix 24/500 inverter: Equipment Power Number of hours on Consumption Colour TV 100 W 4 400 Wh VHS-recorder 50 W 200 Wh Hi-fi equipment 50 W 200 Wh Lights 100 W 4 400 Wh Computer...
