1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Phoenix DC to AC inverter. The Phoenix inverter series are one of the most
sophisticated inverters available today. With high reliability, efficiency and sine quality as our most
important design goals, the Phoenix inverter series is developed to serve you with safe and trouble
free operation for years.
Your Phoenix inverter features an advanced micro processor control system with a MOSFET power
stage and a low loss toroidal transformer. This toroidal transformer in combination with well over
dimensioned power components, ensures very reliable operation, so that extreme overload conditions,
like startup of compressors or pumps, can be handled safely.
To get optimum feedback from your inverter while operating, a built in diagnosis system will warn you
of status optically by different blinking sequences, depending on the error situation. See the
troubleshooting chapter for the blinking sequence table. Also, the inverter will warn you acoustically
before it's going to shut down due to low battery, overload or high temperature condition. A
bidirectional communication port is available too, for future options like a remote panel or connection
to a network of power system equipment.
To get optimum performance and safe operation from your inverter, it must be installed and used
properly. Please read this manual very carefully, especially the warning and caution statements,
before installing and using your Phoenix inverter.

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 on the inverter. Do not expose the inverter to rain or moisture.
b. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or other high temperature environments. Ambient air
temperature should be between 0 °C and 40 °C (humidity < 95% non condensing). Note that in
some extreme situations the inverter's case temperature can exceed 70 °C.
