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 (including parallel and 3-phase operation) can be changed by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.4). 
 
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. 

 

5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup

 

VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup

 is a software program with which one Quattro unit or systems with a maximum of three Quattro units 

(parallel or three phase operation) can be configured in a simple manner. VEConfigureII forms part of this program. 
You can download the software free of charge at 

www.victronenergy.com

 . 

For connection to your computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the 

MK2.2b

 RS485-to-RS232 interface is required. 

If your computer does not have a RS232 connection but is equipped with USB, you will also need a 

RS232-to-USB interface cable

Both are available from Victron Energy. 
 

5.3.2 VE.Bus System Configurator and dongle 

For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more Quattro units, 

VE.Bus System Configurator

 software must 

be used. You can download the software at 

www.victronenergy.com

 . VEConfigureII forms part of this program. 

You can configure the system without a dongle, and use it for 15 minutes (as a demonstration facility). For permanent use, a dongle – 
available at additional charge – is required. 
For connection to your computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the 

MK2.2b

 RS485-to-RS232 interface is required. 

If your computer does not have a RS232 connection but is equipped with USB, you will also need a 

RS232-to-USB interface cable

Both are available from Victron Energy. 

 

5.4 Implementing settings with a VE.Net panel 

To this end, a VE.Net panel and the VE.Net to VE.Bus converter is required. 
With VE.Net you can set all parameters, with the exception of the multi-functional relay and the VIrtualSwitch.
