WeakAC
Strong distortion of the input voltage can result in the charger hardly operating or not
operating at all. If WeakAC is set, the charger will also accept a strongly distorted voltage,
at the cost of greater distortion of the input current.
Recommendation: Turn WeakAC on if the charger is hardly charging or not charging at all
(which is quite rare!). Also turn on the dynamic current limiter simultaneously and reduce
the maximum charging current to prevent overloading the generator if necessary.
Not adjustable with DIP switches.
BoostFactor
Change this setting only after consulting with Victron Energy or with an engineer trained
by Victron Energy!
Not adjustable with DIP switches.
Programmable relay
By default, the programmable relay is set as an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-energise
in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm (inverter almost too hot, ripple on the input almost
too high, battery voltage almost too low).
Not adjustable with DIP switches.
Near the connection terminals an LED illuminates when the relay is activated.
VEConfigure
With VEConfigure software the relay can also be programmed for other purposes, for
example to provide a generator starting signal.
5.3 Configuration by computer
All settings can be changed by means of a computer. Some settings can be changed with DIP
switches (see Section 5.2).
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VEConfigureII software or the appropriate Assistant(s): can be downloaded free of charge at
www.victronenergy.com.
- A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If the computer has no
RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface cable is needed.
Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup
VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which one Compact unit or
systems with a maximum of three Compact units (parallel or three phase operation) can be
configured in a simple manner. VEConfigureII forms part of this program.
The software free can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
For connection to the computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232
interface is required.
If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface
cable is needed. Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.3.2 VE.Bus System Configurator
For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more MultiPlus units,
VE.Bus System Configurator software must be used. The software can be downloaded free
of charge at www.victronenergy.com. VEConfigureII forms part of this program.
