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: can be downloaded free of charge at
www.victronenergy.com.
A MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) interface.
Alternatively, the Interface MK2.2b (VE.Bus to RS232) can be used (RJ45 UTP cable
needed)
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 .
5.3.2 VE.Bus System Configurator
For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more Inverters,
VE.Bus System Configurator
software must be used. You can download the
software at www.victronenergy.com . VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.
