The current settings (AC current limitation and charging current) are multiplied by the number of devices. However, the AC current limit
setting when using a remote panel will always correspond to the value indicated on the panel and is not multiplied by the number of
devices.
Example: 15kVA parallel system with 30A Multi Control Panel
- If an AC input current limit of 20A is set on the master and the system consists of three devices, then the effective system current limit
will be equal to 3 x 20 = 60A.
- If a 30A panel is connected to the master, the system current limit is adjustable to a maximum of 30A, regardless of the number of
devices.
- If the charging current on the master is set to 100% (70A for a MultiPlus 48/5000/70) and the system consists of three devices, then
the effective system charging current is equal to 3 x 70 = 210A.
The settings according to this example (15kVA parallel system with 30A Multi Control Panel) are as follows:
Master
DS-8 na (30A panel)
DS-7 na (30A panel)
DS-6 na (30A panel)
DS-5 AES na
DS-4 Ch. current 3x70A on
DS-3 Ch. current 3x70A on
DS-2 Master
DS-1 Master on
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button of the master for 2 seconds (upper button to the
right of the DIP switches, see appendix A, position K). The overload and low-battery LED's will flash to indicate acceptance of the
settings.
We recommend making a note of the settings, and filing this information in a safe place.
You can now re-use the DIP switches to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
