Victron energy Quattro 12/5000/200 Anleitung Seite 18

Programmable relay
By default, this 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 (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 Quattro-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch.
5.5 Configuration with DIP switches
Introduction
A number of settings can be changed using DIP switches (see appendix A, position M).
This is done as follows:
Turn the Quattro on, preferably unloaded en without AC voltage on the inputs. The Quattro will then operate in inverter mode.
Step 1: Setting the DIP switches for:
- The required current limitation of the AC inputs.
- Limitation of the charging current.
- Selection of stand-alone, parallel or 3-phase operation.
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (upper button to the right of
the DIP switches, see appendix A, position K). You can now re-use the DIP switches to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
Step 2: other settings
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Down' button for 2 seconds (lower button to the right of
the DIP switches). You can now leave the DIP switches in the selected positions, so that the 'other settings' can always be
recovered.
Remarks:
- The DIP switch functions are described in 'top to bottom' order. Since the uppermost DIP switch has the highest number (8),
descriptions start with the switch numbered 8.
- In parallel mode or 3-phase mode, not all devices require all settings to be made (see section 5.5.1.4).
For parallel or 3-phase mode, read the whole setting procedure and make a note of the required DIP switch settings before
actually implementing them.
