    4. INSTALLATION This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer. 4.1 Location The Quattro should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated location, as close as possible to the batteries. The device should be surrounded by a free space of at least 10 cm for cooling purposes. An excessively high environmental temperature has the following consequences: - shorter lifespan...
  • Page 14 4.3 Connecting AC cables The Quattro is a safety class I product (supplied with an ground terminal for safety purposes). Its AC input and/or output terminals and/or grounding point on the outside of the product must be provided with an uninterruptable grounding point for safety purposes.

  • Page 15: Connection Options

    4.4 Connection options 4.4.1 Starter battery (connection terminal G, see appendix A) The Quattro has a connection for charging a starter battery. Output current is limited to 4A. 4.4.2 Voltage sense (connection terminal E, see appendix A) For compensating possible cable losses during charging, two sense wires can be connected with which the voltage directly on the battery or on the positive and negative distribution points can be measured.
  • Page 16 5. CONFIGURATION - Settings may only be changed by a qualified electrical engineer. - Read the instructions thoroughly before implementing changes. - During setting of the charger, the DC fuse in the battery connections must be removed. 5.1 Standard settings: ready for use On delivery, the Quattro is set to standard factory values.

  • Page 20 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 en 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 21 5.5.1.3 Charge current limitation (default setting 75%) For maximum battery life, a charge current of 10% to 20% of the capacity in Ah should be applied. Example: optimal charge current of a 24V/500Ah battery bank: 50A to 100A. The temperature sensor supplied automatically adjusts the charging voltage to the battery temperature.

    7. ERROR INDICATIONS Important note: When the battery is completely discharged (battery voltage less than 10V / 20V or 40V), the Quattro will start charging only when AC power is connected to AC-in-1. For the Quattro to start charging when AC power is connected to AC-in-2, battery voltage must exceed 10V / 20V or 40V.
