Maintenance; Fault Indications - Victron energy 12/3000 Anleitung

6. MAINTENANCE

The Phoenix Inverter does not require specific maintenance. It will suffice to check all
connections once a year. Avoid moisture and oil/soot/vapours, and keep the device
clean.

7. FAULT INDICATIONS

With the procedures below, most errors can be quickly identified. If an error cannot be
resolved, please refer to your Victron Energy supplier.

Cause
The battery voltage is excessively
high or too low. No voltage on DC
connection.
The battery voltage is low.
The converter switches off
because the battery voltage is too
low.
The converter load is higher than
the nominal load.
The converter is switched off due
to excessively high load.
The environmental temperature is
high, or the load is too high.
Low battery voltage and
excessively high load.
Ripple voltage on the DC
connection exceeds 1,5Vrms.
The inverter is switched off due to
an excessively high ripple voltage
on the input.
The inverter is switched off due to
alarm activation by the lighted
LED. The flashing LED indicates
that the inverter was about to
switch off due to the related alarm.
Solution
Ensure that the battery voltage is
within the correct range.
Charge the battery or check the
battery connections.
Charge the battery or check the
battery connections.
Reduce the load.
Reduce the load.
Install the converter in cool and
well-ventilated environment, or
reduce the load.
Charge the batteries, disconnect
or reduce the load, or install
higher capacity batteries. Fit
shorter and/or thicker battery
cables.
Check the battery cables and
battery connections. Check
whether battery capacity is
sufficiently high, and increase
this if necessary.
Install batteries with a larger
capacity. Fit shorter and/or
thicker battery cables, and reset
the inverter (switch off, and then
on again).
Check this table for appropriate
measures in regard to this alarm
state.
