OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS, CONFIGURATION, AND BATTERY SELECTION
A number of optional connections are possible. Undo the four screws at the front of the enclosure and remove
the front panel.
NOTE: ALL 230v & 12V POWER must be fully isolated and turned off prior to removing the cover of this unit.
ONLY TECHNICALLY COMPETENT AND TRAINED technicians should alter and install any additional product
features to the unit.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor supplied with the product may be used for temperature-compensated charging. The
sensor is insulated and must be mounted on the batteries negative terminal. Default output voltages for Float
and Absorption are at 25°C. In adjust mode, temperature compensation is disabled.
VICTRON BMV600S BATTERY MONITOR
The BMV600S provides real time information for the battery or bank of multiple batteries:
•
Battery voltage
•
Discharge current
•
Capacity as a %
Please refer to product installation manual.
VICTRON BLUE POWER PANEL
The Blue Power Panel provides control and monitoring of the Victron Inverter/Charger. Features include on/off
control of MultiPlus Inverter/Charger units and graphic illustration of system charge/discharge, capacity in % real
time and time remaining until discharged. Please refer to product installation manual.
VICTRON COLOR CONTROL PANEL
The Color Control Panel adds a number of extra features over the Blue Power Panel such as Ethernet or Sim Card
internet capability with remote monitoring via web portal and data storage on SD card. Please refer to product
installation manual.
CONFIGURATION
•
Settings should be carried out by a competent person
•
Carefully read the instructions before changes are made
•
Batteries should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated area during charging, and not directly below the
MultiPlus
•
Standard settings: ready for use
On delivery, the MultiPlus is set to standard factory values ready for use as part of a Newton Pumping System
with charging voltages set for the three batteries supplied by Newton Waterproofing Systems for use within
power supplies of 230V input voltage and 50Hz frequency. Inverter output voltage is set to 230V AC. There is no
need to change any of the default settings for use within the UK.
BATTERY SELECTION
The following batteries have been selected to be used with the MultiPlus Inverter/Charger units:
•
NorthStar 60FT - 60Ah, 99.9% lead, extra long life battery - 12V - Purchase code BB20
•
NorthStar 100FT - 100Ah, 99.9% lead, extra long life battery - 12V - Purchase code BB21
•
NorthStar 190FT - 190Ah, 99.9% lead, extra long life battery - 12V - Purchase code BB22. This is the
minimum battery size for the MultiPlus 12/3000/120 unit
Multiple batteries can be used in parallel to increase the charge of the 12V supply to the inverter. Please refer to
the Data Sheet for further information. The maximum sized battery bank that can be used with each MultiPlus
12/3000/120 is 1200Ah

OPERATION
On/Off/Charger Only Switch
For all operation as a battery backup system, the switch should be in the "on", position. This results in the
product being fully functional, providing the pumps with thorough power during times of normal inverter
power during power outage. When mains power is not interrupted, the unit will also charge the batteries.
Charge states (please also see LED Indications below):
•
Bulk - Heavy and fast charge for batteries that are very or fully depleted
•
Absorption - Final top up charge at a lower charge rate than Bulk
•
Float - Trickle charge for when batteries are fully charged to replace charge that is lost over time. This
ensures that the batteries are always fully charged
•
If the voltage at the "AC-in" terminal is not within specifications, during a power outage, for example, the
inverter will switch on, continuing power to the pumping system until the battery(s) is depleted
•
There is no need to switch the unit to "charger only" mode
