5.3 Configuration by computer
All settings can be changed by means of a computer or with a VE.Net panel (except for the multi-functional relay and the
VirtualSwitch when using VE.Net).
The most common settings can be changed by means of DIP switches (see Section 5.5).
NOTE:
This manual is intended for products with firmware xxxx400 or higher (with x any number)
The firmware number can be found on the microprocessor, after removing the front panel.
It is possible to update older units, as long as that same 7 digit number starts with either 26 or 27. When it starts with 19 or 20
you have an old microprocessor and it is not possible to update to 400 or higher.
For changing settings with the computer, the following is required:
- VEConfigure3 software: can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com.
- A RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface. If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have
USB, a RS232-to-USB interface cable is needed. Both are available from Victron Energy.
5.3.1 VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup
VE.Bus Quick Configure Setup is a software program with which systems with a maximum of three Quattro units (parallel or
three phase operation) can be configured in a simple manner. VEConfigure3 forms part of this program.
The software can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com .
For connection to the computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface is required.
If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface cable is needed. Both are available
from Victron Energy.
5.3.2 VE.Bus System Configurator
For configuring advanced applications and/or systems with four or more Quattro units, VE.Bus System Configurator software
must be used. The software can be downloaded free of charge at www.victronenergy.com . VEConfigure3 forms part of this
program.
For connection to the computer, a RJ45 UTP cable and the MK2.2b RS485-to-RS232 interface is required.
If the computer has no RS232 connection, but does have USB, a RS232-to-USB interface cable is needed. Both are available
from Victron Energy.
5.3.3 More software
Several other software tools are available:
- Assitants: to configure Multis and Quattros for particular applications (such as self-consumption applications).
- apps: to help managing and monitoring a system with a smart phone or tablet (see Support -> Software on our
website, ColorControl panel needed).
- VRM (Victron Remote Monitoring website): numerical and graphical display of system parameters and history
(ColorControl panel needed).
- Remote VE Configure: to configure or change settings of a system remotely (ColorControl panel needed).
- The Multi/Quattro can also be used as a bidirectional inverter operating parallel to the grid, integrated into a
customer designed system (PLC or other) that takes care of the control-loop and grid measurement, see

5.4 Configuration with a VE.Net panel
To this end, a VE.Net panel and the VE.Net to VE.Bus converter is required.
With VE.Net all parameters are accessible, with the exception of the multi-functional relay and the VirtualSwitch.
