Not recommended

5 Horizontal wall mounting.

For best operating results, the inverter should be placed on a flat

surface. To ensure a trouble free operation of the inverter, it must be

used in locations that meet the following requirements:

a) Avoid any contact with water. Do not expose the inverter to rain or

moisture.

b) Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. Ambient air temperature

should be between 0 °C and 40 °C (humidity < 95% non

condensing). Note that in extreme situations the inverter’s case

temperature can exceed 70 °C.

c) Do not obstruct the airflow around the inverter. Leave at least 10

centimetres clearance around the inverter. When the inverter is

running too hot, it will shut down. When the inverter has reached a

safe temperature level the unit will automatically restart again.

1.2 Battery requirements

For correct operation, the battery voltage should be between

0.92xVnom and 1.25xVnom where Vnom is 12V or 24V depending on

the model, and must be able to supply sufficient current to your inverter.

The following table displays the recommended battery capacity per

inverter type :

Inverter type : Iin at Pnom : Recommended battery

capacity:

Ph 12/225 22 Adc ≥100 Ah

Ph 24/300 15 Adc ≥60 Ah

Ph 12/500 50 Adc ≥200 Ah

Ph 24/650 32 Adc ≥100 Ah

The inverter shuts down when the battery voltage is below 0.88xVnom

or above 1.3xVnom. In a low or high battery situation the inverter

generates one beep per second.

CAUTION

THE Ph 12/225 AND Ph 12/500 MUST BE

CONNECTED ONLY TO A 12V

BATTERY.

The inverter will not operate from a 6V battery.

The inverter will be damaged when the battery

voltage is higher than 16V.

THE Ph 24/300 AND Ph 24/650 MUST BE

CONNECTED ONLY TO A 24V

BATTERY.

The inverter will not operate from a 12V

battery. The inverter will be damaged when the

battery voltage is higher than 31V.

1.3 Connection to the battery

The Ph 12/225 and Ph 24/300 are equipped with two 4 mm² wires with

a length of 1.5 meters. The Ph 12/500 and Ph 24/650 are equipped with

two 10 mm² wires with the same length. If it is unavoidable to extend

these wires, use a wire gauge of at least 1.5 times larger than the ones

supplied with the inverter. Maximum recommended battery wire length

is approx. 3 meters.

1.3.1 General precautions when working with batteries

1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries

can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke or

allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery. Provide sufficient

ventilation around the battery.

2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while

working near batteries. Wash your hands when done.

3. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with

soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with

running cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

4. Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping

a metal tool onto a battery might cause a short-circuit battery and,

possibly an explosion.

5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,

and watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a

short-circuit current high enough to melt a ring or the like to metal,

causing severe burns.

CAUTION

THE RED WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED

TO THE POSITIVE (+) TERMINAL AND

THE BLACK WIRE TO THE NEGATIVE

(-) TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY.

Reverse polarity connection of the battery

wires can damage the inverter!

Damage caused by reversed polarity is not

covered by the warranty. Make sure the power

switch is in the OFF ‘0’ position before

connecting the battery.

WARNING

IF THE INVERTER IS CONNECTED TO

THE INCORRECT POLARITY, THE

FUSE WILL BLOW.

To replace the fuse in the Ph 12/225 or Ph

24/300, make sure you disconnect the battery

first. Replace the fuse only with the correct

type (Littelfuse, or equivalent, 40 A for 12V

version and 25 A for 24V version, automotive

type). After the fuse is replaced you can

reconnect the battery again, but this time with

the correct polarity applied (RED TO ‘+’

AND BLACK TO ‘-‘).

If the fuse blows again, even with the correct

polarity applied, the inverter is damaged and

must be returned for service.

THE Ph 12/500 AND Ph 24/650 MODELS

ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN INTERNAL

FUSE WHICH CAN BE REPLACED

ONLY BY SPECIALLY TRAINED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE THE Ph 12/225 AND Ph

24/300 INVERTERS WITH ELECTRICAL

SYSTEMS USING POSITIVE GROUND.

These inverters are designed for use with

negative ground electrical systems. The

inverter’s case is connected to the protective

earth conductor of the AC outlet and to the

negative wire of the DC input.

The Ph 12/500 and Ph 24/650 models have an

earthed case which is not directly connected to

any DC input wire

1.4 Connecting the load

Before you connect your appliance(s) to the inverter, always check it’s

maximum power consumption. Do not connect appliances to the

inverter needing more than the nominal power rating of the inverter

continuously. Some appliances like motors or pumps, draw large inrush

currents in a start-up situation. In such circumstances, it is possible that

the start-up current exceeds the overcurrent trip level of the inverter. In

this case the output voltage will quickly decrease to limit the output

current of the inverter. If the overcurrent trip level is continuously

exceeded, the inverter will shut down and restart within 18 seconds. In

this case it is advisable to disconnect the appliance from the inverter,

since it requires too much power to be driven by this inverter. Note that

at higher ambient temperature levels, the overload capacity of the

inverter is reduced.

Besides indicating the type of error, the red LED on the Ph 12/500 and

Ph 24/650 inverters also functions as an overload indicator. When heavy

loads are switched on, this LED will shortly light due to the inrush

current of the load. If the ERROR/OVERLOAD LED stays on for 6

seconds, the inverter will shut down and switches to the overload error

mode (see chapter 3.1)

WARNING

WHEN CONNECTING MORE THAN

ONE APPLIANCE TO THE INVERTER,

IN COMBINATION WITH A

COMPUTER, NOTE THAT IF ONE OF

THE APPLIANCES DRAWS A HIGH

START CURRENT, IT CAN CAUSE

YOUR COMPUTER TO REBOOT DUE

TO A SUDDEN VOLTAGE DROP.

CAUTION

NEVER CONNECT THE INVERTER’S

OUTPUT TO THE AC DISTRIBUTION

GRID, SUCH AS YOUR HOUSEHOLD AC

WALL OUTLET. IT WILL DAMAGE

THE INVERTER.

1.5 Turning the inverter on

When all the above requirements are checked and satisfied and all

connections are made, it’s time to turn on your Phoenix inverter by

pushing the power switch to the ‘ I ’ position. After a short beep,

indicating that all internal circuits are checked, the sinewave shaped

output voltage gently rises until 230V/50Hz ±2% is reached.

When the inverter is not supplying power to an appliance for a longer

time, it’s recommended to turn off the inverter to save your batteries

since it still draws a small amount of current in a ‘no load’ condition.

With the Ph 12/500 and Ph 24/650 models you have the possibility to

use the build in “economy” mode as is detailed in the next chapter.

WARNING

IF THE INVERTER SWITCHES TO AN

‘ERROR MODE’ (SEE CHAPTER 3.1)

DUE TO AN OVERLOAD OR SHORT

CIRCUIT, THE INVERTER WILL

AUTOMATICALLY RESTART AFTER

ABOUT 18 SECONDS.

In case of an over-temperature error, the

inverter will automatically restart after it has

reached an acceptable temperature. Just before

the inverter restarts, it will warn you with a

short beep.

NEVER TOUCH THE AC

CONNECTIONS WHEN THE INVERTER

IS STILL RUNNING IN AN ERROR

MODE!

WARNING

THE BUILT IN LARGE ELECTROLYTIC

CAPACITORS CAN HOLD SIGNIFICANT

DC VOLTAGE WHEN THE BATTERIES

ARE DISCONNECTED.

To avoid sparks or short inverter operation, it is

advisable to switch on the inverter for 10

seconds after battery disconnection, before you

transport the inverter.
