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. (Maximum of 30A input current plus a
maximum of 30A for additional inverter current). The cable cross-section used must therefore also be suitable for currents up to
63A, unless the input current is limited to a lower value.
AC-out-2 (see appendix A)
On these terminals, equipment is connected that may only operate if AC voltage is available on AC-in-1 or AC-in-2, e.g. an
electric boiler.
AC-out-2 is internally protected with a 10A fuse (F3, see appendix A). An earth leakage circuit breaker must be included in series with
AC-out-2, and possibly an automatic fuse for a maximum of 10A.
If several Quattro units are connected in parallel, as well as the AC-out-2 outputs, then the maximum current that can be delivered: I
= 10A + (( number of units - 1) x 6A). Assuming three units connected in parallel, for example, then I
max
Procedure
Use three-core cable. The connection terminals are clearly encoded:
PE: earth
N: neutral conductor
L: phase/live conductor

4.6 Connection options

4.6.1 Starter battery (connection terminal G, see appendix A)
The Quattro has a connection for charging a starter battery. Output current is limited to 4A.
4.6.2 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 direct on the
battery or on the positive and negative distribution points can be measured. Use at least wire with a cross-section of 0,75mm
During battery charging, the Quattro will compensate the voltage drop over the DC cables to a maximum of 1 Volt (i.e. 1V over the
positive connection and 1V over the negative connection). If the voltage drop threatens to become larger than 1V, the charging current
is limited in such a way that the voltage drop remains limited to 1V.
4.6.3 Temperature sensor (connection terminal H, see appendix A)
For temperature-compensated charging, the temperature sensor (supplied with the Quattro) can be connected. The sensor is isolated
and must be fitted to the negative terminal of the battery.
4.6.4 Remote control
The Quattro can be remotely controlled in two ways:
With an external switch (connection terminal L, see appendix A). Operates only if the switch on the Quattro is set to "on".
•
With a remote control panel (connected to one of the two RJ48 sockets B, see appendix A). Operates only if the switch on the
•
Quattro is set to "on".
Using the remote control panel, only the current limit for AC-in-2 can be set (in regard to PowerControl and PowerAssist).
The current limit for AC-in-1 can be set with DIP switches or by means of software.
Only one remote control means can be connected, i.e. either a switch or a remote control panel.
4.6.5 External relay
The maximum current that can be switched through from one of the AC inputs to the AC outputs is 30A.
If more than 30 amps is required to be switched through, a second Quattro can be connected in parallel or an external relay must be
used. Please refer to your supplier for further details.
