Difference between Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 230V and 120-240V version?

Hello everybody,

can somebody please tell me what is the difference between Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 230V and 120-240V version?

https://www.victronenergy.com/chargers/phoenix-smart-ip43-charger

As I’ve read the manuals, the 120-240V should be able to be controlled by VRM/VictronConnect by VE.direct link. And the 240V version is not. But why?

There is no 120-240V in Victron Connect DEMO mode, only 230V and there really is NO switch to set the charger mode on, or something like that….

Any explanation is welcome


Thanks in advance

The "230 V" version accepts:

- 230 VAC (Range: 210–250 V),

The "120-240V" version accepts
