2.1. Inverter
Proven reliability
The inverter uses a full bridge with toroidal transformer topology that has proven its reliability over many years. It is short circuit
proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature.
High startup power
To start loads such as: equipment with an electric motor, power converters for LED lamps, filament lamps or electric tools.
ECO mode
ECO mode reduces the inverter power consumption by approximately 85% by going into standby operation when there are no
loads connected to the inverter. When the inverter has been switched to ECO mode, it will enter standby operation when the load
is less than a preset value. While in standby operation, the inverter will check every few seconds if the load has increased again.
If the load has increased, the inverter will leave standby operation and resumes regular inverter operation. The sensitivity of the
ECO mode is configurable.
Fully configurable
• AC output voltage and frequency.
• Low battery voltage cut-off and restart levels.
• ECO mode on/off and ECO mode sensitivity level.
• Programmable relay.
To transfer the load to another AC source: The automatic transfer switch
For inverters we recommend our
automatic transfer switch. The Filax2 features a very short switchover time (less than 20
milliseconds) so that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. Alternatively use an
with built-in transfer switch.
2.2. LED diagnosis and monitoring
The inverter indicates basic operational information and alarms via its LEDs:
• Inverter state.
• Overload warning or alarm.
• Over temperature warning or alarm.
• Low battery voltage warning or alarm.
• High DC ripple warning or alarm.
Additional parameters can be monitored via VictronConnect:
• Inverter state.
• Battery voltage.
• AC output voltage.
• AC load.
• Relay state.
• Warning and alarms.
For the full list of all LED indications and monitoring parameters see the
chapter.
2.3. The VictronConnect app
The VictronConnect app is used to monitor, control and configure the inverter. The app can be installed on a phone, tablet or
computer. The app is available for Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. The app either communicates via Bluetooth or via USB
interfaced to the VE.Direct port.
