Digital Multi Control 2. Introduction The Digital Multi Control 200/200A enables remote monitoring and control of inverter/charger systems in stand-alone, parallel, and 2- or 3-phase configurations. It seamlessly integrates with the helm, dashboard or control panel of your vessel, vehicle, or home system.
Digital Multi Control 3. Features 3.1. System connectivity The control panel integrates with the inverter/charger system, consisting of a single or multiple Inverter/chargers configured as a in stand-alone, parallel, and 2- or 3-phase system. 3.2. Power mode switch The switch can be used to turn the inverter/charger system on, off or to charger-only mode. 3.3.
Digital Multi Control 4. System types This chapter describes the different inverter/charger system types that the control panel can connect to. 4.1. MultiPlus system with 1 AC source Setup is easy, simply connect the control panel to the VE.Bus system (refer to the Inverter/charger connection [5] chapter), and it will automatically adapt to the system.
Digital Multi Control 5. Installation To install the control panel, you will need the following: • Use an RJ45 UTP cable to connect the control panel to the inverter/charger. The cable is available in a variety of lengths (30cm to 30m) and is not included with the control panel. •...
Digital Multi Control 6. Configuration 6.1. Setup menu Configuration procedure: • To enter the configuration mode, press the button on the back of the control panel for about 4 seconds until the bottom LED in the right column starts blinking, indicating that the first parameter can be changed. •...
Digital Multi Control 6.2. Scaling factor This parameter only applies to pre-VE.Bus systems. Leave it at its default value of 1 for VE.Bus systems. For legacy pre-VE.Bus systems, refer to the Pre-VE.Bus scaling factor [11] chapter. 6.3. Generator current limit This parameter only applies when an external transfer switch is used and has no impact otherwise.

Digital Multi Control 1. Press and hold the configuration button until the bottom LED in the left column starts flashing. This means you entered the configuration mode, and you can change the scaling factor. As said, this parameter can be ignored in the case of VE.Bus Multis.
Digital Multi Control 7. Operation The control panel controls and monitors the inverter/charger system. The control panel is active as soon as the inverter/charger system is switched on. Description Charger LEDs: mains on, bulk, absorption and float. Light sensor, used to automatically dim the LED brightness. Inverter LEDs: inverter on, overload, low battery and temperature.
Digital Multi Control 8. Backward compatibility with legacy pre-VE.Bus units The control panel is backwards compatible with legacy (pre-VE.Bus) inverter/chargers running firmware versions 15xxyyy, 17xxyyy, and 18xxyyy. The transition from pre-VE.Bus to VE.Bus occurred from late 2007 to mid-2008. For pre-VE.Bus systems, the control panel operation and setup align with the manual, except that the control panel does not automatically adapt to the system.
Digital Multi Control 8.2.2. Configuration example pre-VE.Bus Four pre-VE.Bus Multis 30A/120V + 13kVA gen. (1500 rpm) + external transfer switch. For this configuration, the scaling factor must be calculated. The NrOfDevices is 4, the DeviceType is 2, so the scaling factor is (4 x 2) –...
