4.4.5 Parallel Connection
The EasyPlus 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
EasyPlus units plus optional control panel) will require subsequent configuration (see Section 5).
In the event of connecting EasyPlus units in parallel, the following requirements must be met:
- A maximum of six units connected in parallel.
- Only identical devices may be connected in parallel.
- The DC connection cables to the devices must be of equal length and cross-section.
- If a positive and a negative DC distribution point are used, the cross-section of the connection
between the batteries and the DC distribution point must at least equal the sum of the required
cross-sections of the connections between the distribution point and the EasyPlus units.
- Place the EasyPlus units close to each other, but allow at least 10cm for ventilation purposes
under, above and beside the units.
- UTP cables must be connected directly from one unit to the other (and to the remote panel).
Connection/splitter boxes are not permitted.
- A battery-temperature sensor need only be connected to one unit in the system. If the
temperature of several batteries is to be measured, you can also connect the sensors of other
EasyPlus units in the system (with a maximum of one sensor per EasyPlus). Temperature
compensation during battery charging responds to the sensor indicating the highest
temperature.
- Voltage sensing must be connected to the master (see Section 5.5.1.4).
- If more than three units are connected in parallel in one system, a dongle is required (see
Section 5).
- Only one remote control means (panel or switch) can be connected to the system.
4.4.6 Three-phase operation (see appendix D)
The EasyPlus can also be used in 3-phase configuration. To this end, a connection between the
devices is made by means of standard RJ45 UTP cables (the same as for parallel operation). The system
(EasyPlus units plus an optional control panel) will require subsequently configuration (see Section
5).
Pre-requisites: see Section 4.4.5.
