Search Mode ( Applicable in stand-alone configuration only)
If search mode is ‘on’, the power consumption in no-load operation is decreased by
approx. 70%. In this mode the inverter is switched off in case of no load or very low
load, and switches on every two seconds for a short period. If the output current
exceeds a set level, the inverter will continue to operate. If not, the inverter will shut
down again.
Not adjustable with DIP switches.
The Search Mode “shut down” and “remain on” load levels can be set with
VEConfigure.
The standard settings are:
Shut down: 40 Watt (linear load)
Turn on: 100 Watt (linear load)
Programmable relay
By default, the programmable relay is set as an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-
energise in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm (inverter almost too hot, ripple on the
input almost too high, battery voltage almost too low). Not adjustable with DIP
switches.
5.3 Configuration by computer
All settings can be changed by means of a computer or with a VE.Net panel (except
for the multi-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch when using VE.Net).
The most common settings (including parallel and 3-phase operation) can be changed
by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.5).
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VEConfigure3 software. You can download the VEConfigure3 software free
of charge at www.victronenergy.com .
- A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If your
computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, you will also need
a
RS232-to-USB interface cable . Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup
VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which systems with a
maximum of three Phoenix Inverters (parallel or three phase operation) can be
configured in a simple manner. VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.
You can download the software free of charge at www.victronenergy.com .
For connection to your computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the
MK2.2b RS485-to-
RS232 interface is required.
If your computer does not have a RS232 connection but is equipped with USB, you
will also need a
RS232-to-USB interface cable . Both are available from Victron
Energy.
