Parallel operation (see appendix C)
Step 1: Setting ds2 and ds1 for parallel operation
Master
DS-8 AC-in-1 Set
DS-7 AC-in-1 Set
DS-6 AC-in-1 Set
DS-5 AC-in-2 Set
DS-4 Ch. current Set
DS-3 Ch. current Set
DS-2 Master off
DS-1 Master on
The current settings (AC current limitation and charging current) are multiplied by the number of devices. However, the AC
current limitation setting when using a remote panel will always correspond to the value indicated on the panel and should not
be multiplied by the number of devices.
Example: 15kVA parallel system, consisting of 3 units Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100
- If an AC-in-1 current limitation of 20A is set on the master and the system consists of three devices, then the effective system
current limitation for AC-in-1 is equal to 3 x 20 = 60A (setting for generator power 60 x 230 = 13.8kVA).
- If a 30A panel is connected to the master, the system current limitation for AC-in-2 is adjustable to a maximum of 30A,
regardless of the number of devices.
- If the charging current on the master is set to 100% (220A for a Quattro 12/5000/220-100/100) and the system consists of
three devices, then the effective system charging current is equal to 3 x 220 = 660A.
The settings according to this example (15kVA parallel system) are as follows:
Master
DS-8 AC-in-1 (3 x 20 = 60A)
DS-7 AC-in-1 (3 x 20 = 60A)
DS-6 AC-in-1 (3 x 20 = 60A)
DS-5 AC-in-2 na (30A panel)
DS-4 Charging current 3x120A
DS-3 Charging current 3x120A
DS-2 Master
DS-1 Master
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button of the master for 2 seconds (upper button
to the right of the DIP switches, see appendix A, position K). The overload and low-battery LEDs will flash to indicate
acceptance of the settings.
We recommend making a note of the settings, and filing this information in a safe place.
You can now re-use the DIP switches to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
