4. Product Description
The basis of the product is an extremely powerful sine inverter, battery charger and transfer switch in a compact casing.
It is suited for use in Marine, Automotive, as well as stationary land-based applications.
4.1. Features applying to all applications
4.1.1 GX LCD display
A backlit 2 x 16 character display screen shows system parameters.
4.1.2 BMS-Can Connections
A BMS-Can connection allows connecting of compatible CAN-bus BMS batteries. VE.Can products as for example
Victron MPPT Solar Chargers, or a Lynx Shunt VE.Can are NOT supported.
4.1.3 Ethernet and Wifi
Ethernet and Wifi connections allow for local and remote system monitoring, as well as connection to Victron's
free VRM portal for long term system performance information.
4.1.4 Automatic and uninterruptible switching
In the event of a supply failure or when the generating set is switched off, the product will switch over to inverter
operation and take over the supply of the connected devices. This is done so quickly that operation of computers and
other electronic devices is not disturbed (Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS functionality). This makes the product
highly suitable as an emergency power system in industrial and telecommunication applications.
4.1.5 Two AC outputs
Besides the usual uninterruptible output (AC-out-1), an auxiliary output (AC-out-2) is available that disconnects its load in
the event of battery operation. Example: an electric boiler that is allowed to operate only if the genset is running or shore
power is available. There are several applications for AC-out-2.
4.1.6 Three phase capability
The unit can be connected with others and configured for three-phase output. Up to 6 sets of three can be parallel
connected to provide 45 kW / 54 kVA inverter power and more than 600A charging capacity.
4.1.7 PowerControl – maximum use of limited AC power
The product can supply a huge charging current. This implies heavy loading of the AC mains or generator. Therefore a
maximum current can be set. The product then takes other power users into account, and only uses 'surplus' current for
charging purposes.
4.1.8 PowerAssist – Extended use of generator or shore current
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the product to supplement the capacity of
the alternative source. Where peak power is often required only for a limited period, the product will make sure that
insufficient AC mains or generator power is immediately compensated for by power from the battery. When the load
reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.
4.1.9 Programmable
All settings can be changed with a PC and free of charge software, downloadable from our
website www.victronenergy.com. See this manual for more information -

4.1.10 Programmable relay
The product is equipped with a programmable relay. The relay can be programmed for different applications, for example
as a
starter relay for a
generator.
4.1.11 External current transformer (optional)
External current transformer option to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist with external current sensing.
4.1.12 Programmable analog/digital input/output ports (Aux in 1 and Aux in 2, see appendix)
The product is equipped with 2 analog/digital input/output ports.
These ports can be used for several purposes. One application is communication with the BMS of a lithium-ion battery
