Error Indications - Victron energy Quattro 24 | 5000 | 120-100|100 Mode D'emploi

6. MAINTENANCE
The Quattro 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.

7. 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.

The charger does not operate. The AC input voltage or frequency is not within the
range set.

AC-in input is open as a result of overload.
The battery fuse has blown.

Poor battery connection.
The absorption voltage has been set to an incorrect
level (too low).
The float voltage has been set to an incorrect level
(too low).
The available charging time is too short to fully charge
the battery.
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.
The battery is overcharged. The absorption voltage is set to an incorrect level
(too high).
The float voltage is set to an incorrect level (too
high).
Poor battery condition.
The battery temperature is too high (due to poor
ventilation, excessively high environmental
temperature, or excessively high charging current).
The charging current drops to The battery is over-heated (>50°C)

Solution
Remove overload or short circuit on AC-out-1 or AC-
out-2, and reset fuse/breaker.
Ensure that the battery voltage is within the correct
range.
Charge the battery or check the battery connections.
Charge the battery or check the battery connections.
Reduce the load.
Reduce the load.
Install the converter in cool and well-ventilated
environment, or reduce the load.
Charge the batteries, disconnect or reduce the load,
or install higher capacity batteries. Fit shorter and/or
thicker battery cables.
Check the battery cables and battery connections.
Check whether battery capacity is sufficiently high,
and increase this if necessary.
Install batteries with a larger capacity. Fit shorter
and/or thicker battery cables, and reset the inverter
(switch off, and then on again).
Check this table for appropriate measures in regard
to this alarm state.
Ensure that the AC input is between 185 VAC and 265
VAC, and that the frequency is within the range set
(default setting 45-65Hz).
Remove overload or short circuit on AC-out-1 or AC-
out-2, and reset fuse/breaker.
Replace the battery fuse.
Turn the settings WeakAC and dynamic current limiter
on.
Set the charging current to a level between 0.1 and 0.2
times the battery capacity.
Check the battery connections.
Set the absorption voltage to the correct level.
Set the float voltage to the correct level.
Select a longer charging time or higher charging
current.
Reduce the charging current or select the 'fixed'
charging characteristics.
Set the absorption voltage to the correct level.
Set the float voltage to the correct level.
Replace the battery.
Improve ventilation, install batteries in a cooler
environment, reduce the charging current, and
connect the temperature sensor.
Install the battery in a cooler environment
Reduce the charging current
Check whether one of the battery cells has an internal
short circuit
Disconnect the temperature sensor plug in the
Quattro. If charging functions correctly after
approximately 1 minute, the temperature sensor
should be replaced.
