2. DESCRIPTION
2.1 General
SinusMax - Superior engineering
Developed for professional duty, the Phoenix range of inverters is suitable for the widest
range of applications. The design criteria have been to produce a true sine wave inverter
with optimised efficiency but without compromise in performance. Employing hybrid HF
technology, the result is a top quality product with compact dimensions, light in weight
and capable of supplying power, problem-free, to any load.
Extra start-up power
A unique feature of the SinusMax technology is very high start-up power. Conventional
high frequency technology does not offer such extreme performance. Phoenix inverters,
however, are well suited to power up difficult loads such as compressors, electric motors
and similar appliances.
Parallel and 3-phase operation capability
Up to 6 inverters can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output.
Operation in 3-phase configuration is also possible.
To transfer the load to another AC source: the automatic transfer switch
If an automatic transfer switch is required, we recommend to using the MultiPlus or
Quattro instead. The switch is included in these products and the charger function of the
MultiPlus/Quattro can be disabled. Computers and other electronic equipment will
continue to operate without disruption because the MultiPlus/Quattro features a very short
switchover time (less than 20 milliseconds).
Programmable relay
The Phoenix Inverter is equipped with a programmable relay, which by default is set as an
alarm relay. The relay can be programmed for all kinds of other applications however, for
example as a starter relay for a generating set.
Programmable with DIP switches, VE.Net panel or personal computer
The Phoenix Inverter is supplied ready for use. Three features are available for changing
certain settings if desired:
- The most important settings can be changed in a very simple manner, using DIP switches.
- All settings, with exception of the programmable relay, can be changed with a VE.Net panel.
- All settings can be changed with a PC and free of charge software, downloadable from our
