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: 9kVA parallel system
-
If an AC input current limitation of 20A is set on the master and the system
consists of three devices, then the effective system current limitation will be
equal to 3 x 20 = 60A.
-
If a 30A panel is connected to the master, the system current limitation is
adjustable to a maximum of 30A, regardless of the number of devices.
-
If the charging current on the master is set to 100% (70A for a Multi
24/3000/70) and the system consists of three devices, then the effective
system charging current is equal to 3 x 70 = 210A.
The settings according to this example (9kVA parallel system with 30A Multi Control
Panel) are as follows:
Master
DS-8 na (30A panel)
DS-7 na (30A panel)
DS-6 na (30A panel)
DS-5 AES na
DS-4 Ch. current 3x70A
DS-3 Ch. current 3x70A
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 LED's will flash to indicate
acceptance of the settings.
