5.5.1 Step 1
5.5.1.1 Current limitation AC input (default: 50A)
If the current demand (MultiPlus load + battery charger) threatens to exceed the set
AC input current, the MultiPlus will first reduce its charging current (PowerControl),
and subsequently supply additional power from the battery (PowerAssist), if
needed.
The AC input current limit can be set to eight different values by means of DIP
switches.
With a Multi Control Panel, a variable current limit can be set for the AC input.
Remark: With a VE.bus Control Panel or a Digital Control Panel and an external
AC change-over switch two different limits can be set, for two AC sources, for
example the mains/grid and a generator.
Procedure
The AC input current limit can be set using DIP switches ds8, ds7 and ds6 (default
setting: 50A).
Procedure: set the DIP switches to the required value:
ds8 ds7 ds6
off off off = 15A (1.8kVA at 120V)
off off on = 20A (2.4kVA at 120V)
off on off = 25A (3.0kVA at 120V)
off on on = 30A (3.6kVA at 120V)
on off off = 35A (4.2kVA at 120V)
on off on = 40A (4.8kVA at 120V)
on on off = 50A (6.0kVA at 120V)
on on on = not used
Remark: Manufacturer-specified continuous power ratings for small generators
are sometimes inclined to be rather optimistic. In that case, the
current limit should be set to a much lower value than would
otherwise be required on the basis of manufacturer-specified data.
5.5.1.2 AES (Automatic Economy Switch)
Procedure: set ds5 to the required value:
ds5
off = AES off
on = AES on
