  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General Please familiarize yourself with the safety features and instructions by first reading the documentation supplied with this product before using the equipment. This product has been designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was designed.
  • Page 5: Transport And Storage

    Ensure that the equipment is used under the correct ambient conditions. Never operate the product in a wet or dusty environment. Ensure there is adequate free space for ventilation around the product and check that the ventilation vents are not blocked. Ensure that the required system voltage does not exceed the product's capacity.

    2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 General Multi Compact -functional The MultiPlus Compact gets its name from the multiple functions it can perform. It is a powerful true sine wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger that features adaptive charge technology and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclosure. Beside these primary functions, however, the MultiPlus Compact has several advanced features that provide a range of new applications as outlined below.
  • Page 7 automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached. Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode The Storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours.
  • Page 8: Operation

    3. OPERATION 3.1 On/Off/Charger Only Switch When switched to "on", the product is fully functional. The inverter will come into operation and the LED "inverter on" will light up. An AC voltage connected to the "AC in" terminal will be switched through to the "AC out" terminal, if within specifications.
  • Page 9 3.3.3 Activating equalisation or forced absorption The MultiPlus can be put into both these states from the remote panel as well as with the front panel switch, provided that all switches (front, remote and panel) are set to “on” and no switches are set to “charger only”. In order to put the MultiPlus in this state, the procedure below should be followed.

    4. INSTALLATION This product should be installed by a qualified electrician. 4.2 Location The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10cm around the appliance for cooling. Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following: Reduced service life.
  • Page 13: Connection Of Battery Cables

    4.2 Connection of Battery cables In order to fully utilize the full capacity of the product, batteries with sufficient capacity and battery cables with sufficient cross section should be used. See table. 12/2000/80-50 24/2000/50-50 Recommended battery capacity 350–1000 200–500 (Ah) Recommended DC fuse 300A 200A...
  • Page 14 4.3 Connection of the AC cabling This is a Safety Class I product (supplied with a protective grounding terminal). Uninterruptible protective grounding must be provided at the AC input and/or output terminals and/or chassis grounding point located externally on the product. The MultiPlus is provided with a ground relay (relay H, see appendix B) that automatically connects the Neutral output to the chassis if no external AC supply is available.
  • Page 15: Optional Connections

    4.4 Optional Connections A number of optional connections are possible: Undo the four screws at the front of the enclosure and remove the front panel. 4.4.1 Second Battery The MultiPlus Compact has a connection (+) for charging a starter battery. For connection see appendix A.
  • Page 16 4.4.5 Parallel Connection The MultiPlus can be connected in parallel with several identical devices. To this end, a connection is established between the devices by means of standard RJ45 UTP cables. The system (one or more Multis plus optional control panel) will require subsequent configuration (see Section 5).
  • Page 17 5. CONFIGURATION Settings may only be changed by a qualified engineer Carefully read the instructions before changes are made. Batteries should be placed in a dry and well-ventilated area during charging. 5.1 Standard settings: ready for use On delivery, the MultiPlus is set to standard factory values. In general, these settings are suitable for single-unit operation.
  • Page 18 5.2 Explanation of settings Settings that are not self-explanatory are described briefly below. For further information, please refer to the help files in the software configuration programs (see Section 5.3). Inverter frequency Output frequency if no AC is present at the input. Adjustability: 50Hz;...
  • Page 19 AES (Automatic Economy Switch) Instead of the search mode, the AES can also be chosen (with help of VEConfigure only). If this setting is turned ‘on’, the power consumption in no-load operation and with low loads is decreased by approx. 20%, by slightly 'narrowing' the sinusoidal voltage.
  • Page 20 Bulk Protection When this setting is ‘on’, the bulk charging time is limited to 10 hours. A longer charging time could indicate a system error (e.g. a battery cell short-circuit). Not adjustable with DIP switches. AC input current limit These are the current limit settings at which PowerControl and PowerAssist come into operation.

  • Page 22: Configuration By Computer

    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). Some settings can be changed with DIP switches (see Section 5.2). For changing settings with the computer, the following is required: •...
  • Page 23 5.5 Configuration with DIP switches Some settings can be changed with DIP switches Procedure: a) Turn the Compact on, preferably without load and without AC voltage on the inputs. The Compact will then operate in inverter mode. b) Set the dipswitches as required. c) Store the settings by moving Dip switch 8 to “on”...
