1. Safety instructions

Inverter Smart Manual 1. Safety instructions General Please read the documentation supplied with this product first, so that you are familiar with the safety signs and directions before using the product. This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only. WARNING - These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. WARNING - ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD - The product is used in conjunction with a permanent energy source (battery).

Input and/or output terminals may still be dangerously energized, even when the equipment is switched off. Always disconnect the battery before carrying out maintenance or servicing the product. The product has no internal user-serviceable components. Do not remove the front plate or operate the product if any panels have been removed. All servicing must be undertaken by qualified personnel. Please read the installation instructions in the installation manual before installing the equipment. This is a Safety Class I product (supplied with a protective grounding terminal). The chassis must be grounded. A grounding point is located on the outside of the product.

Whenever it is likely that the grounding protection has been damaged, the product must be turned off and secured against unintended operation; please contact qualified service staff. Ensure that the equipment is used under the correct ambient conditions. Never operate the product in a wet or dusty environment. Never use the product where there is a risk of gas or dust explosions. Ensure that there is adequate free space (10 cm) for ventilation around the product and check that the ventilation vents are not blocked.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the marine unit manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Transport and storage Ensure that the mains power and battery leads have been disconnected before storing or transporting the product.

No liability can be accepted for any transport damage if the equipment is shipped in non-original packaging. Store the product in a dry environment; the storage temperature must be between -4°F and 140°F (-20°C and 60°C). Consult the battery manufacturer's manual in respect of transport, storage, charging, recharging and disposal of the battery. Page 1 Safety instructions

2.3. The VictronConnect app

Inverter Smart Manual 2. General description 2.1. Inverter Proven reliability The inverter uses a full bridge with toroidal transformer topology that has proven its reliability over many years. It is short circuit proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature. High startup power To start loads such as: equipment with an electric motor, power converters for LED lamps, filament lamps or electric tools. ECO mode ECO mode reduces the inverter power consumption by approximately 85% by going into standby operation when there are no loads connected to the inverter.

When the inverter has been switched to ECO mode, it will enter standby operation when the load is less than a preset value. While in standby operation, the inverter will check every few seconds if the load has increased again. If the load has increased, the inverter will leave standby operation and resumes regular inverter operation. The sensitivity of the ECO mode is configurable. Fully configurable AC output voltage and frequency. Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels. ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sensitivity level. Programmable relay. To transfer the load to another AC source: The automatic transfer switch For inverters we recommend our Filax2 automatic transfer switch.

The Filax2 features a very short switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds) so that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. Alternatively use an inverter/charger with built-in transfer switch. 2.2. LED diagnosis and monitoring The inverter indicates basic operational information and alarms via its LEDs: Inverter state. Overload warning or alarm. Over temperature warning or alarm. Low battery voltage warning or alarm. High DC ripple warning or alarm. Additional parameters can be monitored via VictronConnect: Inverter state. Battery voltage. AC output voltage. AC load. Relay state. Warning and alarms.

For the full list of all LED indications and monitoring parameters, see the Operation [12] chapter. 2.3. The VictronConnect app The VictronConnect app is used to monitor, control and configure the inverter. The app can be installed on a phone, tablet or computer. The app is available for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. The app either communicates via Bluetooth or via USB interface to the VE.Direct port. Page 2 General description

2.7. Programmable relay

Inverter Smart Manual For more information about the app and to download the app, see the VictronConnect product page . 2.4. Bluetooth The inverter has built-in Bluetooth. Bluetooth (but also a VE.Direct connection) can be used to communicate with the VictronConnect app. 2.5. VE.Direct port The inverter is equipped with a VE.Direct port. This port can be used to connect the inverter to: The VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct to USB interface . The VictronConnect app via a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle . A GX monitoring device, such as the Cerbo GX . Note that an additional VE.Direct cable is needed for this. The GlobalLink 520 . Note that an additional VE.Direct cable is needed for this.

2.6. Remote on/off control The inverter can be remotely turned on or off in the following ways: Via the VictronConnect app. With an (optional) external switch connected to the remote connector. With the (optional) Inverter Control VE.Direct panel connected to the remote connector. From a BMS (Battery Management System) connected to the remote connector. Via a GX device and/or the VRM portal (optional). For more information see the Remote connector [6] chapter. 2.7. Programmable relay The inverter is equipped with a programmable relay. This relay can be used, for example, to interact with an external monitoring or alarm system or drive an extraction fan.

For more information, see the Programmable relay [6] chapter. Page 3 General description
