Hello all,
I just installed a Victron Phoenix Compact 12/1600.
Works great.
My question; at what voltage will the inverter shut down to protect the battery?
And at what voltage will it give an alarm?
Is it also possible the alarm is bearable? Or only LED on the front?
Thanks!
The voltage it shuts down at will be what is programmed to shut down at.
If you haven't programmed it at all, then it is the default (assuming it is new) that you can find in the manual.
Thanks Alexandra,
I read the entire manual, but couldn’t find it. That’s why I asked on the forum. Do you know what the standard values are?
Thanks!
In addition to this question: today I came back after a night and a day, the inverter was off, solid red ‘alarm’ light.
But… the battery was fully charged. I thought there is a point where the intverter automatically turns on again, can anybody explain? Thanks
And again if the inverter has bot been programmed with an mk3 you cant rely on it being correct for the battery chemistry or otherwise.
Usually the victron defaults (especially older units) was lead acid which also has temperature compensation meaning it can even be charging at higher voltages.
Program the inverter
Still trying to figure two things out
- at what battery voltage the inverter switches off (alarm). (Want to know because I want to know if this protects the battery from deep unloading enough)
- can I make it switches on again when battery is loaded by solar panels. (My fridges turn of when alarm, that’s fine, but want it to turn on again when there is enough power in the battery).
I don’t have equipment to connect it to my pc
Thanks again.
If the battery was fully charged when the systeme shut down, then it was not from low battery it cut off but rather battery shut down or disconnect likely due to high voltage.
