Victron Energy - Phoenix Inverter Control (VE Direct)

Victron Phoenix Inverter Control: Remote On/Off Panel for VE.Direct Inverters

Precision Remote Management for Your Victron Phoenix Inverter System

The Victron Phoenix Inverter Control provides a dedicated remote interface for managing Victron VE.Direct inverters, including the Phoenix Smart and standard VE.Direct inverter models. Designed for installations where the inverter is not easily accessible, this panel allows convenient ON/OFF/ECO switching from a central location, reducing unnecessary power draw and extending battery life.

With a compact 60 x 65 mm faceplate and a 40 x 45 mm mounting cut-out, it integrates neatly into control panels, cabinetry, or dashboards in caravans, motorhomes, marine vessels, and off-grid cabins. The three-position rocker switch offers straightforward control, while the blue status LED provides immediate visual confirmation of inverter operation and alarm conditions.

Why Use a Remote Inverter Control Panel?

In many mobile and off-grid installations, the inverter is mounted in a compartment, under a seat, or in an engine room. Accessing the inverter to switch it on or off can be inconvenient. This remote panel solves that problem by bringing control to a user-friendly location. It also enables ECO mode, which reduces standby consumption by automatically switching the inverter to a low-power state when no load is detected, then reactivating when a load is present. This is particularly valuable in solar-powered systems where every watt-hour counts.

Key Features

• Three-position switch: ON, OFF, and ECO modes for flexible power management
• LED indicators: Blue power LED and alarm indication for at-a-glance status monitoring
• VE.Direct communication: Plug-and-play connection to all Victron VE.Direct inverters via the remote H/L port
• Compact flush-mount design: 60 x 65 mm faceplate with a 40 x 45 mm cut-out for discreet installation
• Polarity-dependent wiring: Simple two-wire connection ensures reliable operation when correctly installed
• Low-profile construction: Recessed mounting screws and slim profile for a clean, professional finish

Compatibility and Integration

This control panel is compatible with all Victron VE.Direct inverters, including the popular Phoenix 12V, 24V, and 48V models. Whether you have a Victron 12/2000 Phoenix Smart Inverter or a compact 48/250 VE.Direct unit, this panel provides consistent remote control functionality. It connects via the inverter's remote H/L terminal, using a simple two-wire connection (polarity sensitive). No complex programming or additional interfaces are required.

Installation and Use

Mounting the panel requires a rectangular cut-out of 40 x 45 mm, making it suitable for standard switch panels. The included mounting screws secure the panel flush against the surface. Once wired to the inverter's remote port, the rocker switch immediately controls the inverter state. The blue LED illuminates when the inverter is active, and an alarm condition triggers a distinct indication, helping users quickly identify system issues.

Enhance Your Off-Grid Power System

Adding a remote control panel to your Victron inverter setup improves usability and energy efficiency. By enabling ECO mode, you can significantly reduce idle consumption, which is critical for battery-dependent systems. The panel's professional appearance and straightforward operation make it a practical upgrade for any installation.
