Phoenix converter - VE.Direct

Converters enable you to power household equipment - 230 V power source required - using 12 V "leisure" or "automotive" batteries.

VE.Direct communication port

The VE.Direct port can be connected to:

• A computer (VE.Direct-USB interface cable required).
• Apple and Android smartphones, tablets, macbooks and other devices (a Bluetooth Smart dongle communicating with VE.Direct is required).

Fully configurable:

• Reset levels and alarm triggering in the event of low battery voltage
• Restart levels and cut-off in the event of low battery voltage
• Dynamic cut-off: load-dependent cut-off level
• Output voltage 210 - 245 V
• Output frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz
• ECO mode detection level and ECO mode on/off.

Monitoring:

• Input and output voltage, % load and alarms

Proven reliability

The full-bridge topology with toroidal transformer has proven its reliability for years.
The converters are protected against short-circuits and overheating, whether in the event of overload or high ambient temperature.

High starting power

Necessary for starting loads such as power converters for LED or halogen bulbs, or power tools.

ECO mode

In ECO mode, the converter will pause if the load falls below a pre-set value (minimum load: 15 W). Once paused, the inverter will switch on for a short period of time (adjustable; default: every 2.5 seconds). If the load exceeds a pre-set level, the inverter will remain on.

Remote on/off.

A remote on/off switch can be connected to a two-pole connector or between the positive battery pole and the left contact of the two-pole connector.

Diagnostic LED

Please refer to the manual for a description.

To transfer the load to another AC source: the automatic transfer switch

For our low-power converters, we recommend the use of our Filax automatic transfer switch. The Filax benefits from a very fast transfer time (less than 20 milliseconds), so that computers and other electronic equipment can continue to operate without interruption.

VictronConnect

VictronConnect lets you get live status information and configure your Victron products using the built-in Bluetooth device or a Bluetooth Smart dongle connected to VE.Direct.
