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.
5.5.1 Step 1
5.5.1.2 Current limitation AC inputs (default: AC-in-1: 60A, AC-in-2: 30A)
If the current demand (Quattro load + battery charger) threatens to exceed the set current, the Quattro will first reduce its
charging current (PowerControl), and subsequently supply additional power from the battery (PowerAssist), if needed.
The AC-in-1 current limit (the generator) can be set to eight different values by means of DIP switches.
The AC-in-2 current limit can be set to two different values by means of DIP switches. With a Multi Control Panel, a variable
current limit can be set for the AC-in-2 input.
Procedure
AC-in-1 can be set using DIP switches ds8, ds7 and ds6 (default setting: 60A).
Procedure: set the DIP switches to the required value:
ds8 ds7 ds6

off = 15A (1.8kVA at 120V)

Remark: Manufacturer-specified continuous power ratings for small generators are sometimes inclined to be rather
optimistic. In that case, the current limit should be set to a much lower value than would otherwise be
required on the basis of manufacturer-specified data.
AC-in-2 can be set in two steps using DIP switch ds5 (default setting: 30A).
Procedure: set ds5 to the required value:
ds5
off = 30A
on = 50A
