DESCRIPTION

Boats, vehicles and other stand-alone applications

The basis of the MultiPlus-II is an extremely powerful sine inverter, battery charger and transfer switch in a compact casing.

Important features:
Automatic and uninterruptible switching
In the event of a supply failure or when the generating set is switched off, the MultiPlus-II will switch over to inverter operation and take over the supply of the connected devices. This is done so quickly that operation of computers and other electronic devices is not disturbed (Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS functionality). This makes the MultiPlus-II highly suitable as an emergency power system in industrial and telecommunication applications.

Two AC outputs
Besides the usual uninterruptable output (AC-out-1), an auxiliary output (AC- out-2) is available that disconnects its load in the event of battery operation. Example: an electric boiler that is allowed to operate only if the genset is running or shore power is available. There are several applications for AC-out-2.
Please enter “AC-out-2” in the search box on our website and find the latest information about other applications.
Three phase capability
Three units can be configured for three-phase output. Up to 6 sets of three units can be parallel connected to provide 45 kW / 54 kVA inverter power and more than 600 A charging capacity.

PowerControl – maximum use of limited AC power
The MultiPlus-II can supply a huge charging current. This implies heavy loading of the AC mains or generator. Therefore a maximum current can be set. The MultiPlus-II then takes other power users into account, and only uses ‘surplus’ current for charging purposes.
PowerAssist – Extended use of generator or shore current: the MultiPlus-II “co-supply” feature
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the MultiPlus-II to supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is often required only for a limited period, the MultiPlus-II will make sure that insufficient AC mains or generator power is immediately compensated for by power from the battery. When the load reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.

Programmable relay
The MultiPlus is equipped with a programmable relay. The relay can be programmed for different applications, for example as a starter relay for a generator.

External current transformer (optional)
External current transformer option to implement PowerControl and PowerAssist with external current sensing.
Programmable analog/digital input/output ports (Aux in 1 and Aux in 2, see appendix)
The MultiPlus is equipped with 2 analog/digital input/output ports.
These ports can be used for several purposes. One application is communication with the BMS of a lithium-ion battery.

On-grid and off-grid systems combined with PV

External current transformer (optional)
When used in a grid-parallel topology the internal current transformer cannot measure the current to or from the mains. In this case an external current transformer has to be used. See appendix.

Frequency shift
When solar inverters are connected to the output of a MultiPlus-II, excess solar energy is used to recharge the batteries. Once the absorption voltage is reached, charge current will reduce and excess energy will be fed back into the mains. If the mains is not available, the MultiPlus-II will slightly increase the AC frequency to reduce the output of the solar inverter.

Built-in Battery Monitor
The ideal solution when the MultiPlus-II is part of a hybrid system (diesel generator, inverter/chargers, storage battery, and alternative energy). The built-in battery monitor can be set to start and stop the generator:

• Start at a preset % discharge level, and/or
• start (with a preset delay) at a preset battery voltage, and/or
• start (with a preset delay) at a preset load level.
• Stop at a preset battery voltage, or
• stop (with a preset delay) after the bulk charge phase has been completed, and/or
• stop (with a preset delay) at a preset load level.

Autonomous operation when the grid fails
Houses or buildings with solar panels or a combined micro-scale heating and power plant or other sustainable energy sources have a potential autonomous energy supply which can be used for powering essential equipment (central heating pumps, refrigerators, deep freeze units, Internet connections, etc.) during a power failure. A problem is however that grid connected sustainable energy sources drop out as soon as the grid fails. With a MultiPlus-II and batteries, this problem can be solved: the MultiPlus-II can replace the grid during a power failure. When the sustainable energy sources produce more power than needed, the MultiPlus-II will use the surplus to charge the batteries; in the event of a shortfall, the MultiPlus-II will supply additional power from the battery.

Programmable
All settings can be changed with a PC and free of charge software, downloadable from our website www.victronenergy.com

Battery charger

Lead-acid batteries
Adaptive 4-stage charge algorithm: bulk – absorption – float – storage
The microprocessor-driven adaptive battery management system can be adjusted for various types of batteries. The adaptive function automatically adapts the charging process to battery use.
The right amount of charge: variable absorption time
In the event of slight battery discharge, absorption is kept short to prevent overcharging and excessive gas formation. After deep discharging, the absorption time is automatically extended in order to fully charge the battery.
Preventing damage due to excessive gassing: the Battery Safe mode If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high absorption voltage has been chosen, damage due to excessive gassing will be prevented by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been reached.
Less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use: the Storage mode
The Storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the Storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2 V/cell (13,2 V for 12 V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to ‘equalize’ the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulphation, a major cause of early battery failure.
Battery voltage sense: the correct charge voltage
Voltage loss due to cable resistance can be compensated by using the voltage sense facility to measure voltage directly on the DC bus or on the battery terminals.
Battery voltage and temperature compensation
The temperature sensor (supplied with the product) serves to reduce charging voltage when battery temperature rises. This is particularly important for maintenance-free batteries, which could otherwise dry out by overcharging.
Two DC outputs for charging two batteries
The main DC terminal can supply the full output current. The second output, intended for charging a starter battery, is limited to 4 A and has a slightly lower output voltage (12 V and 24 V models only).

ESS – Energy Storage Systems: feeding energy back into the grid (not

applicable to the  MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-32)

When the MultiPlus-II is used in a configuration in which it will feed back energy into the grid it is required to enable grid code compliance by selecting the appropriate grid code country setting with the VEConfigure tool.
Once set, a password will be required to disable grid code compliance or change grid code related parameters.
Depending on the grid code there are several reactive Power control modes:

• Fixed cos φ
• Cos φ as function of P
• Fixed Q
• Q as function of input voltage

If the local grid code is not supported by the MultiPlus-II an external certified interface device should be used to connect the MultiPlus-II to the grid.
The MultiPlus-II can also be used as a bidirectional inverter operating parallel to the grid, integrated into a customer designed system (PLC or other) that takes care of the control-loop and grid measurement,
Special note regarding NRS-097 (South Africa)

1. The maximum allowed impedance of the network is 0.28 Ω + j0.18 Ω
2. The inverter is fulfilling the unbalance requirement in case of multiple single phase units only when the Color Control GX is part of the installation.

Special notes regarding AS 4777.2 (Australia/New Zealand)

1. IEC62109.1 certification and CEC approval for off-grid use does NOT imply approval for grid-interactive installations. Additional certification to IEC 62109.2 and AS 4777.2.2015 are required before grid-interactive systems can be implemented. Please check the Clean Energy Council website for current approvals.
2. DRM – Demand Response Mode
   When the AS4777.2 grid code has been selected in VEconfigure, DRM 0 functionality is available on port AUX1 (see appendix A.
   To enable grid connection, a resistance of between 5kOhm and 16kOhm must be present between the terminals of port AUX1 (marked + and – ). The MultiPlus-II will disconnect from the grid in case of an open circuit or a short circuit between the terminals of port AUX1. The maximum voltage that may be present between the terminals of port AUX1 is 5 V.
   Alternatively, if DRM 0 is not required, this functionality can be disabled with VEConfigure.

OPERATION

On/Off/Charger Only Switch

When switched to ‘on’, the product is fully functional. The inverter will come into operation and the LED ‘inverter on’ will light up.
An AC voltage connected to the ‘AC in’ terminal will be switched through to the ‘AC out’ terminal, if within specifications. The inverter will switch off, the ‘mains on’ LED will light up and the charger commences charging. The ‘bulk’, ‘absorption’ or ‘float’ LEDs will light up, depending on the charger mode.
If the voltage at the ‘AC-in’ terminal is rejected, the inverter will switch on.
When the switch is switched to ‘charger only’, only the battery charger of the Multi will operate (if mains voltage is present). In this mode input voltage also is switched through to the ‘AC out’ terminal.
NOTE: When only the charger function is required, ensure that the switch is switched to ‘charger only’. This prevents the inverter from being switched on if the mains voltage is lost, thus preventing your batteries from running flat.

Remote control

Remote control is possible with either a switch or with a Multi Control panel.
The Multi Control panel has a simple rotary knob with which the maximum current of the AC input can be set: see PowerControl and PowerAssist in Section 2.

Equalisation and forced absorption

Equalisation
Traction batteries require regular additional charging. In the equalisation mode, the MultiPlus-II will charge with increased voltage for one hour (1 V above the absorption voltage for a 12 V battery, 2 V for a 24 V battery). The charging current is then limited to 1/4 of the set value. The ‘bulk’ and ‘absorption’ LEDs flash intermittently.
Equalisation mode supplies a higher charging voltage than most DC consuming devices can cope with. These devices must be disconnected before additional charging takes place.

Forced absorption
Under certain circumstances, it can be desirable to charge the battery for a fixed time at absorption voltage level. In Forced Absorption mode, the MultiPlus-II will charge at the normal absorption voltage level during the set maximum absorption time. The ‘absorption’ LED lights.

Activating equalisation or forced absorption
The MultiPlus-II can be put into both these states from the remote panel as well as with the front panel switch, provided that all switches (front, remote and panel) are set to ‘on’ and no switches are set to ‘charger only’.
In order to put the MultiPlus-II in this state, the procedure below should be followed.
If the switch is not in the required position after following this procedure, it can be switched over quickly once. This will not change the charging state.
NOTE: Switching from ‘on’ to ‘charger only’ and back, as described below, must be done quickly. The switch must be toggled such that the intermediate position is ‘skipped’, as it were. If the switch remains in the ‘off’ position even for a short time, the device may be turned off. In that case, the procedure must be restarted at step 1. A certain degree of familiarisation is required when using the front switch on the Compact in particular. When using the remote panel, this is less critical.
Procedure:

• Check whether all switches (i.e. front switch, remote switch or remote panel switch if present) are in the ‘on’ position.
• Activating equalisation or forced absorption is only meaningful if the normal charging cycle is completed (charger is in ‘Float’).
• To activate:
  •  Switch rapidly from ‘on’ to ‘charger only’ and leave the switch in this position for ½ to 2 seconds.
  •  Switch rapidly back from ‘charger only’ to ‘on’ and leave the switch in this position for ½ to 2 seconds.
  •  Switch once more rapidly from ‘on’ to ‘charger only’ and leave the switch in this position.
• On the MultiPlus-II (and, if connected, on the MultiControl panel) the three LEDs ‘Bulk’, ‘Absorption’ and ‘Float’ will now flash 5 times.
• Subsequently, the LEDs ‘Bulk’, ‘Absorption’ and ‘Float’ will each light during 2 seconds.
  • If the switch is set to ‘on’ while the ‘Bulk’ LED lights, the charger will switch to equalisation.
  •  If the switch is set to ‘on’ while the ‘Absorption’ LED lights, the charger will switch to forced absorption.
  • If the switch is set to ‘on’ after the three LED sequence has finished, the charger will switch to ‘Float’.
  • If the switch is has not been moved, the MultiPlus-II will remain in ‘charger only’ mode and switch to ‘Float’.

LED Indications

• LED off
• LED flashes
• LED illuminated

Inverter

The inverter is on and supplies power to the load.

The nominal output of the inverter is exceeded. The ‘overload’ LED flashes

The inverter is switched off due to overload or short circuit.

The battery is almost fully exhausted.

The inverter has switched off due to low battery voltage. The inverter has switched off due to the electronics temperature being too high.

• If the LEDs are flashing alternately, the battery is nearly exhausted and the nominal output is exceeded.
• If ‘overload’ and ‘low battery’ flash simultaneously, the ripple voltage on the battery terminals is too high.

The inverter switched off due to excess ripple voltage on the battery terminals.

Battery Charger

The AC input voltage is switched through and the charger operates in bulk mode.

The mains voltage is switched through and the charger is on. The set absorption voltage, however, has not yet been reached. (BatterySafe mode)

The mains voltage is switched through and the charger operates in absorption mode.

The mains voltage is switched through and the charger operates in float mode.

The mains voltage is switched through and the charger operates in equalize mode.

Special Indications
PowerControl

The AC input is switched through. The AC output current is equal to the preset maximum input current. The charge current is reduced to 0.

Power Assist

The AC input is switched through but the load requires more current than the preset maximum input current. The inverter is switched on to supply the required additional current.

INSTALLATION

This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer.

Location

The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There should be a clear space of at least 10 cm around the appliance for cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:

• Reduced service life.
• Reduced charging current.
• Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter. Never position the appliance directly above the batteries.

The MultiPlus-II is suitable for wall mounting. A solid surface, suitable for the weight and dimensions of the product must be available (e.g., concrete, or masonry). For mounting purposes, a hook and two holes are provided at the back of the casing (see appendix G). The device can be fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling, vertical fitting is preferred.
The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
Try and keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize cable voltage losses.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant environment. You should prevent the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.

Connection of battery cables

In order to utilize the full capacity of the product, batteries with sufficient capacity and battery cables with sufficient cross section should be used. See table.

• Follow local installation rules.
  ** Do not locate battery cables in a closed conduit.
  *** “2x” means two positive and two negative cables.
  Remark: Internal resistance is the important factor when working with low capacity batteries. Please consult your supplier or the relevant sections of our book ‘Energy Unlimited’, downloadable from our website.

Procedure
Proceed as follows to connect the battery cables:
Use a torque wrench with insulated box spanner in order to avoid shorting the battery.
Recommended torque: 12 Nm (M8 nut)
Avoid shorting the battery cables.

• Undo the two screws at the bottom of the enclosure and remove the service panel.
• Connect the battery cables: see Appendix A.
• Tighten the nuts well for minimal contact resistance.

Connection of the AC cabling

The MultiPlus-II is a safety class I product (supplied with a ground terminal for safety purposes). Its AC input and/or output terminals and/or grounding point on the outside of the product must be provided with an uninterruptible grounding point for safety purposes.
The MultiPlus-II is provided with a ground relay (relay H, see appendix B) that automatically connects the Neutral output to the chassis if no external AC supply is available. If an external AC supply is provided, the ground relay H will open before the input safety relay closes. This ensures the correct operation of an earth leakage circuit breaker that is connected to the output.

• In a fixed installation, an uninterruptable grounding can be secured by means of the grounding wire of the AC input. Otherwise the casing  must be grounded.
• In a mobile installation (for example, with a shore current plug),  interrupting the shore connection will simultaneously disconnect the grounding connection. In that case, the casing must be connected to the chassis (of the vehicle) or to the hull or grounding plate (of the boat).

In case of a boat, direct connection to the shore ground is not recommended because of potential galvanic corrosion. The solution to this is using an isolation transformer.
Recommended torque: 1.6 Nm

The terminal blocks can be found on the printed circuit board, see Appendix A.
Do not invert neutral and phase when connecting the AC.
The inverter does incorporate a mains frequency isolating transformer. This precludes the possibility of DC current at any AC port. Therefore type A RCD’s can be used.

• AC-in
  The AC input cable can be connected to the terminal block ‘AC–in’.
  From left to right: “N” (neutral), “PE” (earth) and “L” (phase)
  The AC input must be protected by a fuse or magnetic circuit breaker rated at 32 A( for 3 kVA model), 50 A( for 5 kVA model) and 100 A( for 8 kVA and 10 kVA model) or less, and cable cross-section must be sized accordingly. If the input AC supply is rated at a lower value, the fuse or magnetic circuit breaker should be down sized accordingly.

• AC-out-1
  The AC output cable can be connected directly to the terminal block ‘AC-out’.
  From left to right: “N” (neutral), “PE” (earth) and “L” (phase)
  With its PowerAssist feature the Multi can add up to 3 kVA (that is 3000 / 230 = 13 A) to the output during periods of peak power requirement. Together with a maximum input current of 32 A this means that the output can supply up to 32

• 13 = 45 A.
  An earth leakage circuit breaker and a fuse or circuit breaker rated to support the expected load must be included in series with the output, and cable cross-section must be sized accordingly.

  • AC-out-2
    A second output is available that disconnects its load in the event of battery operation. On these terminals, equipment is connected that may only operate if AC voltage is available on AC-in-1, e.g. an electric boiler or an air conditioner. The load on AC-out-2 is disconnected immediately when the Quattro switches to battery operation. After AC power becomes available on AC-in-1, the load on AC-out-2 will be reconnected with a delay of approximately 2 minutes. This to allow a genset to stabilise.

Optional Connections

A number of optional connections are possible:

Remote Control
The product can be remotely controlled in two ways.

• With an external switch (connection terminal M, see appendix A). Operates only if the switch on the MultiPlus-II is set to “on”.
• With a Multi Control panel (connected to one of the two RJ45 sockets L, see appendix A). Operates only if the switch on the MultiPlus-II is set to “on”.

Programmable relay
The product is equipped with a programmable relay.
The relay can be programmed for all kinds of other applications however, for example as a starter relay for a generator.

Programmable analog/digital input/output ports
The product is equipped with 2 analog/digital input/output ports.
These ports can be used for several purposes. One application is communication with the BMS of a lithium-ion battery.

Starter battery (connection terminal E, see appendix A)
The Multiplus-II has a connection for charging a starter battery. Output current is limited to 4 A.

Voltage sense (connection terminal J, see appendix A)
For compensating possible cable losses during charging, two sense wires can be connected with which the voltage directly on the battery or on the positive and negative distribution points can be measured. Use wire with a cross- section of 0,75 mm².
During battery charging, the Quattro will compensate the voltage drop over the DC cables up to a maximum of 1 Volt (i.e. 1 V over the positive connection and 1 V over the negative connection). If the voltage drop threatens to become larger than 1 V, the charging current is limited in such a way that the voltage drop remains limited to 1 V.

Temperature sensor (connection terminal J, see appendix A)
For temperature-compensated charging, the temperature sensor (supplied with the Quattro) can be connected. The sensor is isolated and must be fitted to the negative terminal of the battery.

Parallel Connection
Up to six identical units can be connected in parallel. When connecting MultiPlus-II units in parallel, the following requirements must be met:

• All units must be connected to the same battery
• 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 is 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 MultiPlus-II units.
• Place the MultiPlus-II units close to each other, but allow at least 10cm for ventilation purposes under, above and beside the units.
• It is essential the negative battery terminal between the units is always connected. A fuse or circuit breaker is not allowed.
• UTP cables must be connected directly from one unit to the other (and to the remote panel). Connection or splitter boxes are not permitted.
• Always interconnect the negative battery cables before placing the UTP cables.
• Only one remote control means (panel or switch) can be connected to the system.

Three-phase operation
The MultiPlus-II can also be used in 3-phase wye (Y) 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 (MultiPlus-II plus an optional control panel) will require subsequently configuration (see Section 5).
Pre-requisites: see Section 4.4.5.

1. Note: the MultiPlus-II is not suitable for 3-phase delta (Δ) configuration.
2. When the AS4777.2 grid code has been selected in VEConfigure, only 2 units in parallel per phase are allowed in a three phase system.

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-II. The MultiPlus-II 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-II. The MultiPlus-II synchronises within this range with the AC input. 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 180 V 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 10 kVA 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 210 VAC (the output of AVR generators is generally very stable), or to disconnect the MultiPlus-II from the generator when a generator stop signal is given (with help of an AC contactor installed in series with the generator).

Inverter voltage
Output voltage of the MultiPlus-II in battery operation. Adjustability: 210 – 245 V
Stand-alone / parallel operation / 2-3 phase setting Using several devices, it is possible to:

• increase total inverter power (several devices in parallel)
• create a split-phase system with a separate autotransformer: see VE autotransformer datasheet and manual
• create a 3-phase system.

The standard product settings are for standalone operation. For parallel, three-phase or split phase operation see section 5.3.

AES (Automatic Economy Switch)
If this setting is turned ‘on’, the power consumption in no-load operation and with low loads is decreased by approx. 20 %, by slightly
‘narrowing’ the sinusoidal voltage. Applicable in stand-alone configuration only.

Search Mode
Instead of the AES mode, the search mode can also be chosen. If search mode is ‘on’, the power consumption in no-load operation is decreased by approx. 70 %. In this mode the MultiPlus-II, 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.
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)
Ground relay (see appendix B)
With this relay, the neutral conductor of the AC output is grounded to the chassis when the back feed safety relays are open. This ensures the correct operation of earth leakage circuit breakers in the output. If required an external ground relay can be connected (for a split-phase system with a separate autotransformer). See appendix A.

Battery charge algorithm
The standard setting is ‘Four-stage adaptive with BatterySafe mode’. See Section 2 for a description.
This is the recommended charge algorithm for lead acid batteries. See the help files in the software configuration programs for other features.

Battery type
The standard setting is the most suitable for Victron Gel Deep Discharge, Gel Exide A200, and tubular plate stationary batteries (OPzS). This setting can also be used for many other batteries: e.g. Victron AGM Deep Discharge and other AGM batteries, and many types of flat-plate flooded batteries.
With VEConfigure the charge algorithm can be adjusted to charge any battery type (Nickel Cadmium batteries, Lithium-ion batteries)

Absorption time
In case of the standard setting ‘Four-stage adaptive with BatterySafe mode’ the absortion time depends on the bulk time (adaptive charge curve), so that the battery is optimally charged.

Automatic equalisation charging
This setting is intended for flooded tubular plate traction or OPzS batteries. During absorption the voltage limit increases to 2,83 V/cell (34 V for a 24 V battery) once the charge current has tapered down to less than 10 % of the set maximum current.
Not adjustable with DIP switches.
See ’tubular plate traction battery charge curve’ in VEConfigure.
Storage voltage, Repeated Absorption Time, Absorption Repeat Interval
See Section 2.

Bulk Protection
When this setting is ‘on’, the bulk charging time is limited to 10 hours. A longer charging time could indicate a system error (e.g. a battery cell short- circuit).
AC input current limit
These are the current limit settings for which PowerControl and PowerAssist come into operation:

| 12/3000/120-32
24/3000/70-32
48/3000/35-32| 48/5000/70-50| 48/8000/110| 48/10000/140
---|---|---|---|---
PowerAssist setting range, grid in-line topology| 4 A – 32 A| 6 A – 50 A| 11 A – 100 A| 11 A – 100 A
PowerAssist setting range, grid parallel topology with external current transformer| 4 A – 50 A| 6 A – 100 A| 11 A – 100 A| 11 A – 100 A

Factory setting: maximum grid in-line topology value.

UPS feature
If this setting is ‘on’ and AC on the input fails, the MultiPlus-II switches to inverter operation practically without interruption.
The output voltage of some small generator sets is too unstable and distorted for using this setting – the MultiPlus-II would continually switch to inverter operation. For this reason, the setting can be turned off. The MultiPlus-II will then respond less quickly to AC input voltage deviations. The switchover time to inverter operation is consequently slightly longer, but most equipment (most computers, clocks or household equipment) is not adversely impacted.
Recommendation: Turn the UPS feature off if the MultiPlus-II fails to synchronise, or continually switches back to inverter operation.

Dynamic current limiter
Intended for generators, the AC voltage being generated by means of a static inverter (so-called ‘inverter’ generators). In these generators, engine rpm is reduced in case of low load: this reduces noise, fuel consumption and pollution. A disadvantage is that the output voltage will drop severely or even completely fail in the event of a sudden load increase. More load can only be supplied after the engine is up to speed.
If this setting is ‘on’, the MultiPlus-II will start supplying extra power at a low generator output level and gradually allow the generator to supply more, until the set current limit is reached. This allows the generator engine to get up to speed.
This setting is also often used for ‘classical’ generators that respond slowly to sudden load variation.

Weak AC
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. Note: when WeakAC is on, the maximum charge current is reduced by approximately 20 %.

BoostFactor
Change this setting only after consulting with Victron Energy or with an engineer trained by Victron Energy!

Programmable relay
The relay can be programmed for all kinds of other applications, for example as a starter relay for a generator.

Auxiliary AC output (AC-out-2)
Intended for non-critical loads and directly connected to the AC input. With current measurement circuit to enable PowerAssist.

Configuring the MultiPlus-II

The following hardware is required:
A MK3-USB (VE.Bus to USB) interface.
Alternatively, the Interface MK2.2b (VE.Bus to RS232) can be used (RJ45 UTP cable needed).

VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup
VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which systems with a maximum of three Multis (parallel or three phase operation) can be configured in a simple manner.
The software can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.

VE.Bus System Configurator
For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more Multis, VE.Bus System Configurator software must be used. The software can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com .

MAINTENANCE

The MultiPlus-II does not require specific maintenance. It will suffice to check all connections once a year. Avoid moisture and
oil/soot/vapours, and keep the device clean.

ERROR INDICATIONS

With the procedures below, most errors can be quickly identified. If an error cannot be resolved, please refer to your Victron Energy supplier.
We recommend to use the toolkit app to link LED alarm codes to a description of the problem/alarm, see

‘Low battery’ and ‘overload’ LEDs flash simultaneously.| Ripple voltage on the DC connection exceeds 1,5 Vrms.| Check the battery cables and battery connections. Check whether battery capacity is sufficiently high, and increase

this if necessary.

‘Low battery’ and ‘overload’ LEDs light.| The inverter is switched off due to an excessively high ripple voltage on the input.| Install batteries with a larger capacity. Fit shorter and/or thicker battery cables, and reset the inverter (switch off, and then on again).
One alarm LED lights and the second flashes.| The inverter is switched off due to alarm activation by the lighted LED. The flashing LED indicates that the inverter was about to switch off due to the related alarm.| Check this table for appropriate measures in regard to this alarm state.
The charger does not operate.| The AC input voltage or frequency is not within the range set.| Ensure that the AC input is between 185 VAC and 265 VAC, and that the frequency is within the range set (default setting 45-65 Hz).
| Circuit breaker or fuse in the

AC-in input is open as a result of overload.

| Remove overload or short circuit on AC-out-1 or AC-out-2, and reset fuse/breaker.
| The battery fuse has blown.| Replace the battery fuse.
| The distortion or the AC input voltage is too large (generally generator supply).| Turn the settings WeakAC and dynamic current limiter on.
The charger does not operate.

‘Bulk’ LED flashes and

‘Mains on’ LED illuminates.

| MultiPlus-II is in ‘Bulk protection’ mode thus, the maximum bulk charging time of 10 hours is exceeded.

Such a long charging time could indicate a system error (e.g. a battery cell short-circuit).

| Check your batteries.

NOTE:

You can reset the error mode by switching off and back on the MultiPlus-II.

| | The standard MultiPlus-II factory setting of the ’Bulk protection’ mode is switched on. The ‘Bulk protection’ mode can be switched off with help of VEConfigure only.
The battery is not completely charged.| Charging current excessively high, causing premature absorption phase.| Set the charging current to a level between 0.1 and 0.2 times the battery

capacity.

| Poor battery connection.| Check the battery connections.
| The absorption voltage has been set to an incorrect level (too low).| Set the absorption voltage to the correct level.
| The float voltage has been set to an incorrect level (too low).| Set the float voltage to the correct level.
| The available charging time is too short to fully charge the battery.| Select a longer charging time or higher charging current.
| The absorption time is too short. For adaptive charging this can be caused by an extremely high charging current with respect to battery capacity, so that

bulk time is insufficient.

| Reduce the charging current or select the ‘fixed’ charging characteristics.
The battery is overcharged.| The absorption voltage is set to an incorrect level (too high).| Set the absorption voltage to the correct level.
| The float voltage is set to an incorrect level (too high).| Set the float voltage to the correct level.
| Poor battery condition.| Replace the battery.
| The battery temperature is too high (due to poor ventilation, excessively high environmental temperature, or excessively high charging current).| Improve ventilation, install batteries in a cooler environment, reduce the charging current, and connect the temperature sensor.

 Special LED indications

(for the normal LED indications, see section 3.4)

‘Mains on’ flashes and there is no output voltage.| The device is in ‘charger only’ operation and mains supply is present. The device rejects the mains supply or is still synchronising.
---|---
Bulk and absorption LEDs flash synchronously (simultaneously).| Voltage sense error. The voltage measured at the voltage sense connection deviates too much (more than 7 V) from the voltage on the positive and negative connection of the device. There is probably a connection error.

The device will remain in normal operation.

NOTE: If the “inverter on” LED flashes in phase opposition, this is a VE.Bus error code (see further on).

Absorption and float LEDs flash synchronously (simultaneously).| The battery temperature as measured has an extremely unlikely value. The sensor is probably defective or has been incorrectly connected. The device will remain in normal operation.

NOTE: If the “inverter on” LED flashes in phase opposition, this a VE.Bus error code (see further on).

VE.Bus LED indications

Equipment included in a VE.Bus system (a parallel or 3-phase arrangement) can provide so-called VE.Bus LED indications. These LED indications can be subdivided into two groups: OK codes and error codes.

VE.Bus OK codes
If the internal status of a device is in order but the device cannot yet be started because one or more other devices in the system indicate an error status, the devices that are in order will indicate an OK code. This facilitates error tracing in a VE.Bus system, since devices not requiring attention are easily identified as such.
Important: OK codes will only be displayed if a device is not in inverter or charging operation!

• A flashing ‘bulk’ LED indicates that the device can perform inverter operation.
• A flashing ‘float’ LED indicates that the device can perform charging operation.

NOTE: In principle, all other LEDs must be off. If this is not the case, the code is not an OK code. However, the following exceptions apply:

• The special LED indications above can occur together with the OK codes.
• The ‘low battery’ LED can function together with the OK code that indicates that the device can charge.

VE.Bus error codes
A VE.Bus system can display various error codes. These codes are displayed with the ‘inverter on’, ‘bulk’, ‘absorption’ and ‘float’ LEDs.
To interpret a VE.Bus error code correctly, the following procedure should be followed:

1. The device should be in error (no AC output).

2. Is the ‘inverter on’ LED flashing? If not, then there is no VE.Bus error code.

3. If one or more of the LEDs ‘bulk’, ‘absorption’ or ‘float’ flashes, then this flash must be in phase opposition to the ‘inverter on’ LED,
   i. e. the flashing LEDs are off if the ‘inverter on’ LED is on, and vice versa. If this is not the case, then there is no VE.Bus error code.

4. Check the ‘bulk’ LED, and determine which of the three tables below should be used.

5.  Select the correct column and row (depending on the ‘absorption’ and ‘float’ LEDs), and determine the error code.

6. Determine the meaning of the code in the tables below.

All of the conditions below must be met! :

1. The device is in error! (No AC output)
2. Inverter LED flashes (in opposition to any flashing of the Bulk, Absorption or Float LED)
3. At least one of the LEDs Bulk, Absorption and Float is on or flashing

APPENDIX C: Parallelconnection

APPENDIX D: Three phase connection

APPENDIX E: Charge algorithm

4-stage charging:
Bulk
Entered when charger is started. Constant current is applied until nominal battery voltage is reached, depending on temperature and input voltage, after which constant power is applied up to the point where excessive gassing is starting (14.4 V resp. 28.8 V, temperature compensated).

Battery Safe
The applied voltage to the battery is raised gradually until the set Absorption voltage is reached. The Battery Safe Mode is part of the calculated absorption time.

Absorption
The absorption period is dependent on the bulk period. The maximum absorption time is the set Maximum Absorption time.

Float
Float voltage is applied to keep the battery fully charged

Storage
After one day of float charge the output voltage is reduced to storage level. This is 13,2 V resp. 26,4 V (for 12 V and 24 V charger). This will limit water loss to a minimum when the battery is stored for the winter season.
After an adjustable time (default = 7 days) the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode for an adjustable time (default = one hour) to ’refresh’ the battery.

APPENDIX F: Temperature compensation

Default output voltages for Float and Absorption are at 25 °C.
Reduced Float voltage follows Float voltage and Raised Absorption voltage follows Absorption voltage.
In adjust mode temperature compensation does not apply.
