This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only. WARNING: DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK The product is used in combination with a permanent energy source (battery).

  • Page 6: Transport And Storage

    Install the product in a heatproof environment. Ensure therefore that there are no chemicals, plastic parts, curtains or other textiles, etc. in the immediate vicinity of the equipment. Transport and storage On storage or transport of the product, ensure that the mains supply and battery leads are disconnected.
  • Page 7 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 In general Two AC inputs with integrated transfer switch The Quattro can be connected to two independent AC sources, for example shore-side (grid-) power and a generator, or two generators. The Quattro will automatically connect to the active source. Figure 1: Block diagram Accepts several input voltages (See fig 1) Each AC input can be supplied from:...
  • Page 8 The AC inputs can be connected to a different type of supply: one input may for example be connected to a split phase source, and the other to a single phase source. When an AC source is available, the Quattro will feed through the AC to its output.
  • Page 9 When AC is present on one of the inputs, the inverter/charger of the Quattro connects to the preferred input leg (L1-1 or L1-2). PowerControl will therefore be active on the preferred input leg only. L1-1 of input AC-in-1, to which usually a generating set is connected, ─...

  • Page 11 2.3 Overview of AC power options Option 1 (see fig 1) As explained in section 2.1, the 120/240V Quattro can be connected to the standard American single phase and split phase AC supplies. When in inverter mode, however, the two live outputs are connected together to provide in phase 120 VAC on both lines.
  • Page 12 input. When operating from battery, the output will either be 120/240V or 120/208V depending on whether the system has been configured to operate with a 180 degrees or a 120 degrees phase shift. If only one 120V leg is available at the AC input, one unit will connect to it, and the other unit will operate on battery power.

    3. Operation 3.1 “On / stand by / charger only” switch When the switch is switched to “on”, full device operation is initiated. The inverter will turn on, and the “inverter on” LED will light. 120VAC applied to L1-1 or L1-2 (see fig 1) will be switched through to the AC output connection.
  • Page 19 NOTE: Switching from “on” to “charger only” and vice versa, as described below, must be done quickly. The switch must be toggled such that the intermediate position is 'skipped', as it were. If the switch remains in the “off” position even for a short time, the device may be turned off. In that case, the procedure must be restarted at step 1.

  • Page 35 BoostFactor Change this setting only after consulting with Victron Energy or with an engineer trained by Victron Energy! Not adjustable with DIP switches. Multi-functional relay By default, the multi-functional relay is set as an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-energise in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm (inverter almost too hot, ripple on the input almost too high, battery voltage almost too low).
  • Page 36 If your computer does not have a RS232 connection but is equipped with USB, you will also need a RS232-to-USB interface cable. Both are available from Victron Energy. 5.4 Implementing settings with a VE.Net panel To this end, a VE.Net panel and the VE.Net to VE.Bus converter is required.
  • Page 37 5.5 Configuration with DIP switches Introduction A number of settings can be changed using DIP switches (see appendix A, position M). This is done as follows: Turn the Quattro on, preferably unloaded and without AC voltage on the inputs. The Quattro will then operate in inverter mode. Step 1: Setting the DIP switches for: - the required current limitation of the AC inputs.
  • Page 38 Procedure: set the DIP switches to the required value: ds8 ds7 ds6 off = 15A (1.8kVA at 120V) on = 20A (2.4kVA at 120V) off = 25A (3.0kVA at 120V) on = 30A (3.6kVA at 120V) off = 35A (4.2kVA at 120V) on = 40A (4.8kVA at 120V) off = 50A (6.0kVA at 120V) on = 60A (7.2kVA at 120V)
  • Page 39 NOTE: When configuring a parallel or 2-3 phase system, all related • devices should be interconnected using RJ45 UTP cables (see appendix C, D). All devices must be turned on. They will subsequently return an error code (see Section 7), since they have been integrated into a system and still are configured as ‘stand- alone’.
