Victron Energy - Phoenix Charger Control

Advanced Remote Management for Your Energy System

Important: Not compatible with VE.Direct or Phoenix Smart Inverters.

Managing your battery charging process is critical in marine, mobile, and off-grid environments. By adding a dedicated remote control interface to your setup, you gain immediate access to vital system parameters without needing to access the charger unit itself. This is highly beneficial as power electronics are often installed in hard-to-reach locations like engine bays, under seats, or in utility cupboards.

Prevent Overloading with Adjustable Output

One of the most critical challenges when connecting to caravan parks, marinas, or portable generators is managing limited AC power supplies. The front interface panel features a precise rotary current adjustment dial, allowing you to limit the charge current anywhere from 0 to 100 percent. By restricting the DC output, you directly reduce the AC power drawn from your source. This intelligent management prevents nuisance tripping of shore power circuit breakers and protects small generators from stalling under heavy loads, ensuring your appliances and charging cycles run smoothly side by side.

Comprehensive Visual Monitoring

Understanding your system status at a glance provides peace of mind. The interface is equipped with high-visibility LED arrays divided into distinct sections. The charge status LEDs clearly indicate whether the system is in bulk, absorption, float, or failure states. Additionally, a dedicated LED bar graph displays the current output from 25 percent up to 100 percent of capacity. For installations in sleeping quarters or living areas, the panel automatically detects ambient light levels and reduces LED brightness during night-time hours, eliminating distracting glare.

Flexible Configuration

Beyond basic monitoring and power limiting, this interface allows you to modify key battery charging parameters directly from the console. This flexibility ensures that as your battery bank requirements evolve, your charging profile can be adjusted remotely to match, maximising overall battery lifespan and performance.

Key Benefits and Features

• Adjustable output current dial (0 to 100 percent) to manage AC input loads
• Clear LED indicators for charge stages and output current levels
• Automatic ambient light detection dims LEDs during night-time operation
• Simple plug-and-play installation using a standard UTP communication cable
• Built-in power switch for remote system activation and shutdown
• Allows adjustment of internal battery charging parameters

Simple Connectivity and System Integration

Installation and integration into your existing electrical architecture is straightforward. The panel connects directly to the main unit using a standard UTP communication cable, ensuring reliable data transmission over long cable runs without complex wiring. Four pre-drilled mounting holes allow for a secure, flush fit on your dashboard, electrical cabinet, or control console.

Take Control of Your Power Supply

Upgrading your electrical setup with this dedicated panel reduces the risks associated with unpredictable external power sources and improves overall system reliability. It acts as an essential tool for users who frequently alternate between different shore power limits or rely on off-grid generator support. Equip your system with precise monitoring and output management today to ensure a highly efficient, user-friendly battery charging experience.
