5. Configuration
•
Settings may only be changed by a qualified electrical engineer.
•
Read the instructions thoroughly before implementing changes.
•
During setting of the charger, the AC input must be removed.
5.1 Standard settings: ready for use
On delivery, the MultiPlus is set to standard factory values. In general, these settings are suitable for single-unit operation.
Warning: Possibly, the standard battery charging voltage is not suitable for your batteries! Refer to the manufacturer's
documentation, or to your battery supplier!

5.2 Explanation of settings
Settings that are not self-explanatory are described briefly below. For further information, please refer to the help files in the software
configuration programs (see Section 5.3).
Inverter frequency
Output frequency if no AC is present at the input.
Adjustability: 50 Hz; 60 Hz
Input frequency range
Input frequency range accepted by the MultiPlus. The MultiPlus synchronises within this range with the AC input frequency. The output
frequency is then equal to the input frequency.
Adjustability: 45 – 65 Hz; 45 – 55 Hz; 55 – 65 Hz
Input voltage range
Voltage range accepted by the MultiPlus. The MultiPlus synchronises within this range with the AC input voltage. The output voltage is
then equal to the input voltage.
Adjustability:
Lower limit: 180 – 230 V
Upper limit: 230 – 270 V
Note : the standard lower limit setting of 180V is intended for connection to a weak mains supply, or to a generator with unstable AC
output. This setting may result in a system shut down when connected to a ‘brushless, self excited, externally voltage regulated,
synchronous AC generator’ (synchronous AVR generator). Most generators rated at 10kVA or more are synchronous AVR generators.
The shut down is initiated when the generator is stopped and revs down while the AVR simultaneously ‘tries’ to keep the output voltage
of the generator at 230 V.
The solution is to increase the lower limit setting to 210VAC (the output of AVR generators is generally very stable), or to disconnect the
Multi(s) from the generator when a generator stop signal is given (with help of an AC contactor installed in series with the generator).
