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 Multi on, preferably unloaded en without AC voltage on the inputs. 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.
5.5.1 Step 1
5.5.1.1 Current limitation AC input (default: 16A for models with max. 16A feed
through current, and 30A for models with max. 30A feed through current)
If the current demand (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 Phoenix Multi Control Panel, a variable current limit can be set for the AC input.
Remark: With a Duo Control Panel and an external AC change-over switch two
different limits can be set, for two AC sources, for example a shore connection and a
generator.
