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.
For the Quattro to start charging when AC power is connected to AC-in-2, battery voltage must exceed 10V / 20V or
40V.
7.1 General error indications
With the procedures below, most errors can be quickly identified. If an error cannot be resolved, please refer to your Victron
Energy supplier.
Problem
Quattro will not switch over
to generator or mains
operation.
Inverter operation not
initiated when switched on.
"Low battery" LED flashes.
"Low battery" LED lights.
"Overload" LED flashes.
"Overload" LED lights.
"Temperature" LED flashes
or lights.
"Low battery" and "overload"
LEDs flash intermittently.
"Low battery" and "overload"
LEDs flash simultaneously.
"Low battery" and
"overload" LEDs light.
One alarm LED lights and
the second flashes.
The charger does not operate. The AC input voltage or frequency is not within the
The charger does not operate.

Cause
Circuit breaker or fuse in the
AC-in input is open as a result of overload.
The battery voltage is excessively high or too low.
No voltage on DC connection.
The battery voltage is low.
The converter switches off because the battery
voltage is too low.
The converter load is higher than the nominal load.
The converter is switched off due to excessively
high load.
The environmental temperature is high, or the load
is too high.
Low battery voltage and excessively high load.
Ripple voltage on the DC connection exceeds
1,5Vrms.
The inverter is switched off due to an excessively
high ripple voltage on the input.
The inverter is switched off due to alarm activation
by the lighted LED. The flashing LED indicates that
the inverter was about to switch off due to the
related alarm.
range set.
Circuit breaker or fuse in the
AC-in input is open as a result of overload.
The battery fuse has blown.
The distortion or the AC input voltage is too large
(generally generator supply).
MultiPlus is in "Bulk protection" mode thus, the
maximum bulk charging time of 10 hours is exceeded.
Such
a
long charging time could indicate a system
error (e.g. a battery cell short-circuit).
Charging current excessively high, causing premature
absorption phase.
Poor battery connection.
The absorption voltage has been set to an incorrect
level (too low).
The float voltage has been set to an incorrect level
(too low).
The available charging time is too short to fully charge
the battery.
Solution
Remove overload or short circuit on AC-out-1 or AC-
out-2, and reset fuse/breaker.
Ensure that the battery voltage is within the correct
range.
Charge the battery or check the battery connections.
Charge the battery or check the battery connections.
Reduce the load.
Reduce the load.
Install the converter in cool and well-ventilated
environment, or reduce the load.
Charge the batteries, disconnect or reduce the load,
or install higher capacity batteries. Fit shorter and/or
thicker battery cables.
Check the battery cables and battery connections.
Check whether battery capacity is sufficiently high,
and increase this if necessary.
Install batteries with a larger capacity. Fit shorter
and/or thicker battery cables, and reset the inverter
(switch off, and then on again).
Check this table for appropriate measures in regard
to this alarm state.
Ensure that the AC input is between 185 VAC and 265
VAC, and that the frequency is within the range set
(default setting 45-65Hz).
Remove overload or short circuit on AC-out-1 or AC-
out-2, and reset fuse/breaker.
Replace the battery fuse.
Turn the settings WeakAC and dynamic current limiter
on.
Check your batteries.
NOTE: You can reset the error mode by switching off
and back on the MultiPlus.
The standard MultiPlus factory setting of the "Bulk
protection" mode is switched on. The "Bulk protection"
mode can be switched off with help of VEConfigure
only.
Set the charging current to a level between 0.1 and 0.2
times the battery capacity.
Check the battery connections.
Set the absorption voltage to the correct level.
Set the float voltage to the correct level.
Select a longer charging time or higher charging
current.
