Key Features:

• Pure Sine Wave Output: Delivers high-quality 120V AC power that is identical to mains electricity. This ensures safe and efficient operation of all connected devices, including sensitive electronics like laptops, computers, LED TVs, and audio equipment.   
• High Peak Power: Offers excellent surge power capability to start demanding loads with high inrush currents, such as power converters for LED lamps, small power tools, and other devices that require extra power on startup.   
• High Efficiency: Optimizes DC to AC power conversion, maximizing battery runtime and minimizing energy loss, making it ideal for battery-powered systems.
• VE.Direct Communication Port: Allows for easy monitoring and configuration of the inverter via a computer or smartphone using optional Victron accessories like the VE.Direct to USB interface or the Bluetooth Smart dongle. This provides valuable insights into system performance and allows for customization of settings.  
• Remote On/Off Switch: Features a remote on/off capability, enabling convenient control of the inverter from a distance, ideal for installations in vehicles or remote locations.   
• Low Battery Voltage Alarm: Provides an early warning when the 12V battery voltage is dropping to a critical level, allowing users to take action to prevent deep discharge.   
• Automatic Low Battery Voltage Shutdown: Protects the connected 12V battery from damage due to excessive discharge by automatically turning off the inverter when the voltage falls below a safe threshold.  
• Over Temperature Protection: Prevents damage to the inverter by automatically shutting down if it exceeds its operating temperature limits.   
• Overload Protection: Protects both the inverter and connected devices from damage due to excessive power draw.   
• Short Circuit Protection: Immediately shuts down the inverter in the event of a short circuit, ensuring safety.   
• ECO Mode: In ECO mode, the inverter switches to standby when the load decreases below a preset value, significantly reducing no-load power consumption and conserving battery power. It periodically switches on for a short period to check if the load has increased.   
• Proven Reliability: Built with a full bridge plus toroidal transformer topology, a design known for its robustness and long-term reliability.
