3. Operation 3.1 “On / stand by / charger only” switch When the switch is switched to “on”, full device operation is initiated. The inverter will turn on, and the “inverter on” LED will light. If voltage is applied to the AC-in-1 or AC-in-1 connection, these will be switched through to the AC-out-1 and AC-out-2 connections after checking and approval. - Page 6 3.4 LED indications and their meaning LED off LED flashes LED lights Inverter charger inverter mains on inverter on The inverter is on, and supplies bulk overload power to the load. absorption low battery charger only float temperature charger inverter mains on inverter on The nominal power of the inverter is...

Page 13: Connection Options
AC-out-1 (see appendix A) The load is connected to these terminals. If AC voltage is available on AC-in-1 or AC-in-2, AC-out-1 will be connected through with AC- in-1 (priority input) or AC-in-2. If no AC voltage is available, AC-out-1 will be supplied by the inverter. An earth leakage circuit breaker and an automatic fuse for a maximum of 63A must be included in series with AC-out-1. - Page 14 4.6.6 Connecting Quattros in parallel (see appendix C) The Quattro 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 Quattro’s plus optional control panel) will require subsequent configuration (see Section 5).
- Page 15 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.

A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If your computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, you will also need a RS232-to-USB interface cable. Both are available from Victron Energy. 5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which one Quattro unit or systems with a maximum of three Quattro units... - Page 19 5.5 Configuration with DIP switches A number of settings can be changed using DIP switches (see appendix A, position M). This is done as follows: Turn the Quattro on, preferably unloaded en without AC voltage on the inputs. The Quattro will then operate in inverter mode. Step 1: Setting the DIP switches for: - the required current limitation of the AC inputs.
- Page 20 5.5.1.3 Charging current limitation (default setting 75%) For maximum battery life, a charging current of 10% to 20% of the capacity in Ah should be applied. Example: optimal charging current of a 24V/500Ah battery bank: 50A to 100A. The temperature sensor supplied automatically adjusts the charging voltage to the battery temperature.
