Victron Inverter/Battery Charger MultiPlus 12V/230V

Victron Inverter/Battery Charger MultiPlus 12V/230V 500VA-2000VA

How to read the label on the Victron Inverter/Battery Charger MultiPlus, an example:

• 12/500/20:
  • 12 – DC battery voltage
  • 500 – Power at the AC inverter output
  • 20 – Charging current for service battery

Multifunctional, with intelligent power management
The MultiPlus is a powerful true sine wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger featuring adaptive charge technology, and a high-speed AC transfer switch all in a single compact enclosure. In addition to these primary functions, the MultiPlus has several advanced features, as
described below.

Parallel operation and three-phase capability
Up to six Multi units can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. In addition to parallel connection, three units can be configured for three-phase output.

PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
With the Multi Control Panel, you can set the maximum generator or shore current. The MultiPlus will then take account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the generator or shore power supply from being overloaded.

Four-stage adaptive charger and dual bank battery charging
The main output provides powerful charging to the battery system by means of advanced ‘adaptive charge’ software. The software fine-tunes the three-stage automatic process to suit the condition of the battery, and adds a fourth stage for long periods of float charging.
The adaptive charge process is described in more detail on the battery charger datasheet and on our website, under Technical Information. In addition to this, the MultiPlus will charge a second battery using an independent trickle charge output intended for a main engine or generator starter battery.

High start-up power
Needed to start high inrush loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps or electric tools.

Search Mode
When Search Mode is ‘on’, the power consumption of the inverter in no-load operation is decreased by approx. 70%. In this mode the Multi, 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.

Programmable relay
By default, the programmable relay is set as an alarm relay, i.e. the relay will de-energize in the event of an alarm or a pre-alarm

On-site system configuring, monitoring, and control
After installation, the MultiPlus is ready to use.
Some settings can be changed with DIP switches.
500/800/1200VA models: remote switch/battery charge voltage/inverter frequency/search mode.
1600/2000VA models: battery charge voltage/search mode.
For more settings use VE-Config or the VE.Bus Smart dongle.

Remote configuring and monitoring
Install a Cerbo GX or other GX product to connect to the internet.
Operational data can be stored and displayed on our VRM (Victron Remote Management) website for free.
When connected to the internet, systems can be accessed remotely, and settings can be changed
