Page 3: Safety Instructions
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS In general Please read the documentation supplied with this product first, so that you are familiar with the safety signs en directions before using the product. This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only. - Page 4 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 In general The basis of the Quattro is an extremely powerful sine inverter, battery charger and automatic switch in a compact casing. The Quattro features the following additional, often unique, characteristics: Two AC inputs; integrated switch-over system between shore voltage and generating set The Quattro features two AC inputs (AC-in-1 and AC-in-2) for connecting two independent voltage sources.

Solar energy The Quattro is extremely suitable for solar energy applications. It can be used for building autonomous systems as well as mains-coupled systems. Emergency power or autonomous operation on mains failure Houses or buildings provided with solar panels or a combined micro-scale heating and power plant (a power-generating central heating boiler) or other sustainable energy sources have a potential autonomous energy supply which can be used for powering essential equipment (central heating pumps, refrigerators, deep freeze units, Internet connections, etc.) during a power failure. -

Page 11: Installation
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 12 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 13: 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 14 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 15 Inverter voltage Output voltage of the Quattro in battery operation. Adjustability:110 – 130V Stand-alone / parallel operation / 2-3 phase setting Using several devices, it is possible to: - increase total inverter power (several devices in parallel) - create a split-phase system (only for Quattro units with 120V output voltage) - create a 3-phase system.
- Page 16 Note: when WeakAC is on, the maximum charge current is reduced by approximately 20%. Not adjustable with DIP switches. BoostFactor Change this setting only after consulting with Victron Energy or with an engineer trained by Victron Energy! Not adjustable with DIP switches. Auxiliary AC output (AC-out-2) Besides the uninterruptable output (AC-out-1), a second output (AC-out-2) is available that disconnects its load in the event of battery operation.
- Page 17 5.3 Configuration by computer All settings can be changed by means of a computer or with a VE.Net panel (except for the multi-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch when using VE.Net). The most common settings (including parallel and 3-phase operation) can be changed by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.5).
- Page 18 5.5 Configuration with DIP switches Introduction A number of settings can be changed using DIP switches (see appendix A, position M). Note: When changing settings with dipswitches in a parallel or split-phase/3-phase system one should be aware that not all settings are relevant on all Quattros.
- Page 19 Procedure AC-in-1 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 = 6A (0,72kVA at 120V) on = 10A (1.2kVA at 120V) off = 12A (1.4kVA at 120V) on = 16A (2kVA at 120V) off = 20A (2.4kVA at 120V) on = 25A (3kVA at 120V)

Page 22: Maintenance
6. MAINTENANCE The Quattro does not require specific maintenance. It will suffice to check all connections once a year. Avoid moisture and oil/soot/vapours, and keep the device clean. 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. - Page 23 The absorption time is too short. For adaptive Reduce the charging current or select the ‘fixed’ charging this can be caused by an extremely high charging characteristics. charging current with respect to battery capacity, so that bulk time is insufficient. The battery is overcharged.
- Page 24 4) Update the firmware in the last device that was switched on. Should not occur. Switch all equipment off, and then on again. Contact Internal error. Victron Energy if the problem persists.
