If the green inverter LED is on and the red Alarm LED is on, reduce the AC load.
What to do if the green inverter LED is on and the red Alarm LED is on in my Victron energy Phoenix Smart Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is on and the red Alarm LED is on, reduce the AC load.
What to do if the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is on in my Victron energy Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is on, remove the cause of the overload and then restart the inverter by switching it off and then back on again.
What does it mean when the red Alarm LED is fast blinking on my Victron energy Inverter?
If the green Inverter LED is on and the red Alarm LED is fast blinking, reduce the DC input voltage, check if the battery voltage is correct and if the battery bank is wired correctly. Also check if there perhaps are faulty or incorrect chargers or equipment with a faulty charge regulator.
What to do if the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is fast blinking on my Victron energy Phoenix Smart Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is fast blinking, reduce the DC input voltage, check if the battery voltage is correct and if the battery bank is wired correctly. Also check if there perhaps are faulty or incorrect chargers or equipment with a faulty charge regulator. The inverter will automatically turn back on when the battery voltage has dropped to an acceptable level.
What does it mean if the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is blinking with a double pulse on my Victron energy Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is blinking with a double pulse, wait until the inverter has cooled down. The inverter will automatically turn back on when its internal temperature has dropped to an acceptable level. Check the environment of the inverter, can the ventilation be improved, or can the inverter be moved to a cooler location?
What should I check if the Alarm LED is blinking with a fast single pulse on my Victron energy Phoenix Smart Inverter?
If the green Inverter LED is on and the Alarm LED is blinking with a fast single pulse, check if all battery cable connections have been tightened. Do the battery cables have a sufficient thickness? DC ripple is related to a voltage drop over the battery cables.
What to do if the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is slowly blinking on my Victron energy Phoenix Smart Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the red Alarm LED is slowly blinking, charge the battery or switch the inverter off and then back on again to restart the inverter. Check the battery voltage at the battery terminals of the inverter. Also check the DC fuses, cables, and cable connections.
What does it mean if the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the Alarm LED is blinking with a fast single pulse on my Victron energy Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is blinking with a fast double pulse and the Alarm LED is blinking with a fast single pulse, check if all battery cable connections have been tightened. Do the battery cables have a sufficient thickness? DC ripple is related to a voltage drop over the battery cables. To restart the inverter switch the inverter off and then back on again.
What to do if the green inverter LED is blinking and the red Alarm LED is blinking on my Victron energy Inverter?
If the green inverter LED is blinking and the red Alarm LED is blinking, retry the firmware update.
