Description
The Samlex EVO-4024 is part of the Samlex Evolution series of inverter/chargers. Ideal for cabins, RV’s, boats, service vehicles, as well as alternative energy, back-up and emergency power applications. The Evolution series combines Pure Sinewave inverter with advanced battery charger and transfer switch, all in one unit. The 4,000 Watt Pure Sinewave inverter, 110A charger, 70A transfer switch make it an exceptional solution for off-grid and back-up power.
Using state-of-the-art technology, the Samlex EVO inverter/charger operates at 165 million instructions per second with lightening fast load & response times, has 9 points of physical protection monitoring (being scanned up to 10,000 times per second) to detect fault conditions & protect itself in a vast range of adverse environments.
The EVO-4024 is a 4000 Watt Pure Sine inverter, 24 VDC input, 120 VAC output, 50/60 Hz. It intelligently integrates a 110 Amp 4 stage Battery Charger and a 70 Amp Transfer Relay into an advanced and affordable off-grid power solution.
EVO-RC remote control sold separately. See the EVO-RC page for product details.
Samlex EVO-4024 Design Features…
AC Inputs
Two separate AC inputs – one for grid (priority #1), one for generator (priority #2), connect simultaneously, no need to reconfigure when different power sources are available.
Generator Input is specifically designed to have more tolerance for wave form distortion, prevents unnecessary “rejection of AC input and switch to inverter” by tolerating distorted wave forms that can be produced by gritty generators
Each AC input is programmable for voltage and frequency. User determines what the min and max thresholds are to switch from Grid or Generator to Inverter.
Generator start can be initiated by “Status Relay” contact, can be programmed to activate when grid is lost.
Solar Input
Connect a solar charge controller directly to the EVO-4024 though the Battery Charger external DC Input, seamlessly integrates solar charging into the EVO’s power system.
ONLINE Mode can be used to prioritize Batteries/Inverter over the grid, ideal for those wishing to operate primarily on solar power (when the grid is available, but might be costly).
Battery Charger
3 or 4 stage charging with Equalization (must be manually initiated).
Adaptive algorithm is used during Bulk to assess the condition of the battery. Subsequent stages are then based on the condition of the battery rather than pre-set time periods for Absorption and Float. Prevents unnecessary charging, extends the life of batteries.
Programmable – set battery voltage thresholds to initiate charging.
Transfer Switch
Zero transfer time when switching from Inverter to Grid. When grid comes on, the inverter synchronizes with the wave form and then transfers instantly at zero crossing.
<16ms transfer when going from Grid to Inverter. When grid is lost, the transfer relay switches to inverter at the correct place in the wave form, the transfer takes less than 16ms.
Surge Capacity (Power Boost)
The EVO has 3X surge power
Additionally, the EVO has large power overload allowances available for long periods of time. Increased inverter capacity means you can size your inverter smaller to handle heavy surge loads, reducing costs.
State-of-the-Art Technology
The EVO operates at 165 million instructions per second producing lightning fast load and response times
The EVO is practically indestructible. It has “Bullet-Proof Intelligence” in the form of 9 physical points of protection monitoring being scanned up to 10,000 times per second for adverse conditions. The EVO will detect fault conditions and initiate a healthy shutdown before any product damage can be done.
The EVO-RC remote control (sold separately) can be used to capture detailed EVO performance data. Records all detected faults and the conditions leading up to them. Data is stored on a removable 16GB SD Card (in the remote). Use data to analyze trends for more efficient use of system resources
The EVO uses five temperature sensors placed throughout the unit to determine operation of 2 speed controlled cooling fans. Reduces unnecessary fan noise and energy consumption by only running when and where the fans are needed.

Slav Koziarski (verified owner) –
Just installed this inverter in our off-grid cabin and so far I’m very pleased with its performance. We hard wired it into the main breaker panel and it powers the entire cabin including our deep well pump without an issue. I have also wired in our generator into this unit as a back up and the EVO is able to charge the batteries while directing the remaining power to the cabin from the generator. Additional bonus us the unit is pretty quiet in operation with a quiet hum and even with high power draw the fan is pretty quiet.
Side note – Graham was very helpful and great to deal with making sure we received the inverter in time for the May 2-4 long weekend.
