Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units 2 FLOWCHART Use the following flowchart to determine which installation procedure to use. Start 3-Phase? Parallel 3-Phase configuration configuration More than 2 units? Lithium Ion Batteries? Setup via switches?
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Parallel configuration with MasterAdjust 3 PARALLEL CONFIGURATION WITH MASTERADJUST Up to 10 units may be set in parallel with MasterAdjust. Either use identical MCU or MCP units, or a mix of MCU and MCP units that use the same DC voltage.
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Parallel configuration with MasterAdjust DC wiring of parallel units Note: Always use the same length positive and negative cables! Be aware that to keep the drawings in this chapter clear and easy to read, the cable lengths have not been drawn in proportion to each other.
Installation or configuration errors may come up in MasterAdjust while the configuration is in progress. This is normal. Configuration 8. In MasterAdjust, check that the units are running the latest firmware (software version). See the Mastervolt Portal for more information.

Note: battery settings must be configured the same on all units. 12. Return to the Configuration tab of the Primary unit. All settings are done here. However, if Mastervolt Lithium-Ion batteries are connected, all events, like Stop Discharge for example, must be configured for ALL units separately.
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Parallel configuration with MasterAdjust 16. Notice the Cluster topology and Cluster state. Topology monitors the size of the cluster (whether the selected number of units is equal to the selected number of devices). State monitors the configuration state of the cluster.
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Parallel configuration with DIP switches 4 PARALLEL CONFIGURATION WITH DIP SWITHES Two units can be set in parallel with DIP-switches. This can be two identical MCU or MCP units. Provided that they use the same DC voltage, this can also be one MCU and one MCP.
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Parallel configuration with DIP switches Configuration with DIP switches Pre-commissioning 1. Make sure that the units are switched off. 2. Make sure that all connections are firmly tightened. Configuration 3.
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Three-phase configuration with MasterAdjust 5 THREE-PHASE CONFIGURATION WITH MASTERADJUST Three identical MCU or MCP units can be set in a 3-phase star-configuration with MasterAdjust. Provided that they use the same DC voltage, this can also be a mix of MCU and MCP units.
Mass Combi Ultra, Mass Combi Pro – Installation Manual Multiple Units Three-phase configuration with MasterAdjust DC wiring of three-phase units Note: Always use the same length positive and negative cables! Be aware that to keep the drawings in this chapter clear and easy to read, the cable lengths have not been drawn in proportion to each other.
10. Go to the Configuration tab and give the unit a logical name. For example, MCU L1, MCU L2 and MCU L3. 11. Return to the Configuration tab of the L1 unit. All settings are done here. However, if Mastervolt Lithium-Ion batteries are connected, all events, like Stop Discharge for example, must be configured for ALL units separately.
