    MultiPlus-II 230V 5. Configuration This section is intended mainly for stand-alone applications. Settings may only be changed by a qualified electrical engineer. Read the instructions thoroughly before implementing changes. During setting of the charger, the AC input must be removed.
  • Page 20 MultiPlus-II 230V Adjustability: 50 Hz; 60 Hz Input frequency range Input frequency range accepted by the MultiPlus-II. The MultiPlus-II synchronises within this range with the AC input frequency. The output frequency is then equal to the input frequency. Adjustability: 45 – 65 Hz; 45 – 55 Hz; 55 – 65 Hz Input voltage range Voltage range accepted by the MultiPlus-II.
  • Page 21 MultiPlus-II 230V Battery type The standard setting is the most suitable for Victron Gel Deep Discharge, Gel Exide A200, and tubular plate stationary batteries (OPzS). This setting can also be used for many other batteries: e.g. Victron AGM Deep Discharge and other AGM batteries, and many types of flat-plate flooded batteries.
