1. Quick Start The Digital Multi Control panel (DMC) is a remote panel designed to work with all Multis /Quattro’s and Multi/Quattro systems. This includes stand alone, parallel and 2-3 phase configurations. Both VE.Bus and non VE.Bus systems are supported.
2. Standard installations 2.1 VE.Bus system with 1 AC source Setup for such a system is easy: Just connect the DMC to the VE.Bus system (see paragraph 4.1) and the DMC will automatically adapt to the current system. No parameters need to be changed in the DMC unless you want to limit the maximum current the operator can set.
2.2.3 VE.Bus Multi system + external transfer switch (PowerMan) If an external transfer switch is placed before the Multis then this switch determines which AC source is used. The Multis do not have any information about the state of the switch. The DMC provides a way to specify different shore limits for both AC sources.

3.3 Connecting non-VE.Bus devices In order to operate the DMC with non VE.Bus devices one must configure a scaling parameter to match the DMC with the connected system. The default setting is for a standalone Multi with a 16A transfer switch. There will be no adjustment for the minimum shore current limit in this case.

2 wires of 0.25 – 1.0mm². Refer to the transfer switch manual for more information. 3) There are no special requirements to build in the Digital Multi Control Panel 4.1 Bus cable To connect the DMC to a Multi or Quattro use a standard straight UTP cable with RJ45 connectors.

5. Using the Digital Multi Control panel The DMC is used to remotely set up to four (five including the generator functionality) different input currents, read out the status of your system and turn on and off the Multis or Quattro’s.

5.3 LED brightness For your comfort, the brightness of the LEDs is controlled automatically using a light sensor. When the ambient light level becomes lower the LEDs will be less bright which is more pleasant for the eye and reduces power consumption.

6. Configuring the Digital Multi Control panel This chapter describes the configuration parameters and procedure. 6.1 Procedure During configuration 6 parameters can be set. The configuration procedure is straight forward. - To enter the configuration mode press the button on the back of the DMC until the bottom LED in the left column starts flashing, indicating that the first parameter can be changed.

6.2 Setting the scaling factor Configuration of the scaling factor is only needed for non VE.Bus Multis. (All Multi firmware versions 15xxyyy, 17xxyyy and 18xxyyy) The scaling factor is used to match the currents displayed by the DMC to the currents in the system.

6.4.1 Special display feature When you have an extended VE.Bus system (or a Quattro system) and you use more than 1 AC input you might come across the following situation: Assuming you use two AC inputs. You would like to give the generator priority over the shore so you connect the generator to AC input 1.

Example 2: Four non VE.Bus Multis 30A/120V + 13kVA gen. (1500 rpm) + external transfer switch. For this configuration the “scaling factor” must be calculated. The NrOfDevices is 4, the DeviceType is 2 so the “scaling factor” is (4 x 2) – 1 = 7 A 13kVA generator 120V can supply a maximum current of 108,3A.
