• Settings may only be changed by a qualified engineer.
• Carefully read the instructions before changes are made.
4.1. AC output voltage and frequency
The inverter is set by default at 230Vac.
The AC output voltage and frequency can be set to a different value according to below table.
Model
AC output voltage range
Frequency range
230Vac models
Between 210Vac and 245Vac
50Hz or 60Hz
4.2. ECO mode and ECO settings
The inverter is equipped with ECO mode. ECO mode is activated via the VictronConnect app, the inverter main switch or push
button (depending on inverter model).
When the inverter is in ECO mode, it will reduce its power consumption by approximately 85% when there are no loads
connected to the inverter.
When the inverter is in ECO mode, the inverter will switch to search state when there is no load or a very low load. While in the
search state, the inverter is off and will switch on every 3 seconds for a short period (adjustable). If the inverter detects a certain
size load (adjustable) the inverter will go back to normal operation mode. Once the load drops below a certain level, the inverter
will go back to ECO mode.
Below table indicates the default settings and setting range of the ECO parameters:
Parameter

0.08 - 5.00s
• Note that the required ECO mode settings are heavily dependent on the type of load: inductive, capacitive,
non-linear. Adjustment for specific loads may be needed.
4.3. Low battery alarm and charge detect settings
The inverter has two different types of low battery shutdown modes:
• Low battery shutdown based on battery voltage. This is the "low battery shutdown" voltage.
• Low battery shutdown based on battery voltage as a function of battery load. This mode is disabled by default. See next
Once the inverter has shut down due to a low battery (regardless of the mode):
• The inverter will restart again once the battery voltage has increased above the "low battery restart and alarm" level.
• The inverter will clear the low battery alarm once it detects the battery is being charged. This is the "charge detect" voltage.
