5.5 Configuration with DIP switches
A number of settings can be changed using DIP switches (see appendix A, position M).
General procedure:
Turn the Multi on, preferably without load and without AC voltage on the input. The Multi will then operate in inverter mode.
Step 1: Setting the DIP switches for:
- the required current limitation of the AC input.
- AES (Automatic Economy Switch)
- limitation of the charging current.
- selection of stand-alone, parallel or 3-phase operation.
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (upper button to the right of the DIP
switches, see appendix A, position K). You can now re-use the DIP switches to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
Step 2: other settings
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Down' button for 2 seconds (lower button to the right of the DIP
switches). You can now leave the DIP switches in the selected positions, so that the 'other settings' can always be recovered.
Remarks:
- The DIP switch functions are described in 'top to bottom' order. Since the uppermost DIP switch has the highest number (8),
descriptions start with the switch numbered 8.
- In parallel mode or 3-phase mode, not all devices require all settings to be made (see section 5.5.1.4).
For parallel or 3-phase mode, read the whole setting procedure and make a note of the required DIP switch settings before actually
implementing them.
Detailed instruction:
5.5.1 Step 1
5.5.1.1 Current limitation AC input (default: 16A for models with max. 16A feed through current, and 50A for models with max.
50A feed through current)
If the current draw (Multi load + battery charger) threatens to exceed the set current, the Multi will first reduce its charging current
(PowerControl), and subsequently supply additional power from the battery (PowerAssist), if needed.
The AC input current limit can be set to eight different values by means of DIP switches.
With a Multi Control Panel, a variable current limit can be set for the AC input.
Procedure
The AC input current limit can be set using DIP switches ds8, ds7 and ds6 (default setting: 50A, automatically limited to 16A in 16A
models).
Procedure: set the DIP switches to the required value:
ds8 ds7 ds6
off off off = 6A (1.4kVA at 230V)
off off on = 10A (2.3kVA at 230V)
off on off = 12A (2.8kVA at 230V)
off on on = 16A (3.7kVA at 230V)
on off off = 20A (4.6kVA at 230V)
on off on = 25A (5.7kVA at 230V)
on on off = 30A (6.9kVA at 230V)
on on on = 50A (11.5kVA at 230V)
Remark: Manufacturer-specified continuous power ratings for small generators are sometimes inclined to be rather
optimistic. In that case, the current limit should be set to a much lower value than would otherwise be required on
the basis of manufacturer-specified data.
5.5.1.2 AES (Automatic Economy Switch)
Procedure: set ds5 to the required value:
ds5
off = AES off
on = AES on
