Manual/Schematic for "ancient" Atlas 24/1200?

I got an old unused Atlas 24/1200 inverter without documents for free and have been looking all over for a manual/schematic for it. I know it's efficiency and power quality is probably the worst compared to recent models, but for the usage I'm looking to use it, there win't be any problem. Anyone have a file somewhere, I checked the Victron Dropbox but can't find anything for this particular model.


Here is a picture of it, just to understand how old it is.

Maybe you already found this, but if not, then here are some manuals for old products:

But only similar models are there. The exact model you have is not included.

Yeah I found those, but nothing for this particular model, I also believe those are newer models.

Might be an idea to open it up and check the circuit board, especially look at the electrolytic capacitors for any signs of leakage from aging or sitting idle and depending the environment it was stored in, if it was warm to hot or humid.

Check for any signs of critters nesting and a general inspection of cables and connections of cables to circuit boards or terminals.

I would then, with a bench top power supply put a bit of pre-charge to certain electrolytic capacitors to essentially give them prior warning of being woken up with bigger battery supply.

When connecting t up, I would ware eye protection and do this in a safe work environment, in case something inside gets too excited and decides to fly into low Earth orbit.

But if all checks out, what a great find :-)
