Search Mode (Applicable in stand-alone configuration only)
If search mode is 'on', the power consumption in no-load operation is decreased by
approx. 70%. In this mode the Compact, when operating in inverter mode, is switched
off in case of no load or very low load, and switches on every two seconds for a short
period. If the output current exceeds a set level, the inverter will continue to operate. If
not, the inverter will shut down again.
Not adjustable with DIP switches.
The Search Mode "shut down" and "remain on" load levels can be set with
VEConfigure.
The standard settings are:
Shut down: 40 Watt (linear load)
Turn on: 100 Watt (linear load)
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.
5.3 Configuration by computer
All settings can be changed by means of a computer or with a VE.Net panel (except
for the multi-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch when using VE.Net).
The most common settings can be changed by means of DIP switches (see Section
5.5).
NOTE:
This manual is intended for products with firmware xxxx400 or higher (with x
any number)
The firmware number can be found on the microprocessor, after removing the
front panel.
It is possible to update older units, as long as that same 7 digit number starts with
either 26 or 27. When it starts with 19 or 20 you have an old microprocessor and it is
not possible to update to 400 or higher.
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VEConfigureII software. You can download the VEConfigureII software free
of charge at www.victronenergy.com .
- A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If your
computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, you will also need
a RS232-to-USB interface cable. Both are available from Victron Energy.
