1. General information
1.1 Warnings, legal information and safety
1.1.1 Warnings and notes
Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the general text.
Warnings
Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.
Notes
Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.
1.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer
DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.
Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
1.1.3 Safety issues
Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore,
the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.
1.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness
Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
1.1.5 Factory settings
The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values
and are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions
must be taken to check the settings before running the engine/generator set.

1.2 About the Quick Start Guide
1.2.1 General purpose
This Quick Start Guide mainly includes general product information, mounting instructions and wiring descriptions.
The general purpose of this document is to help the user with the first steps of installing and using the Multiline 2 system.
Please make sure that you also read the Installation Instructions before starting to work with
the Multi-line 2 unit and the genset to be controlled. Failure to do this could result in human
injury or damage to the equipment.
1.2.2 Intended users
This Quick Start Guide is mainly intended for the panel builder in charge. On the basis of this document, the
panel builder designer will give the electrician the information he needs in order to get started with the installation. For detailed electrical drawings, please see the Installation Instructions.
1.2.3 Contents and overall structure
This document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to use, each
chapter will begin from the top of a new page.

4.2 Getting started with the DEIF utility software (USW)
4.2.1 Downloading the software
1. Go to www.deif.com
2. Select Documentation & Software
3. Select Software download
4. In the dropdown menu, select Multi-line 2 utility software v.3.x
5. Fill in your e-mail address and click “Submit”
You will now receive an e-mail containing a link. Click the link and follow the instructions.
The USW is now installed on your computer.
4.2.2 Installation of USB drivers
On Windows Vista machines, the USB drivers are installed automatically.
This is the procedure on Windows XP machines:
When you connect the DEIF product, Windows XP will launch two "Hardware Wizards". Two drivers are installed, so please let Windows execute both "Found new Hardware Wizard"s.
We recommend letting the Hardware Wizard install the software automatically by choosing the "Recommended" option. If the "Advanced" option is chosen, the needed files are available from the USW3 installation
folder (default: C:\Program Files\DEIF\USW3\) in the "USB driver files/source PreInstaller" folder.
Please select "Continue Anyway" if a "Hardware Installation" warning (see screenshot below) appears during
the installation.
