CONNECTION OF THE AC CABLING

This is a Safety Class I product (supplied with a protective grounding terminal). Uninterrupted protective

grounding must be provided at the AC input and/or output terminals and/or chassis grounding point located

externally on the product.

The MultiPlus Compact is provided with a ground relay that automatically connects the Neutral output to the

chassis if no external AC supply is available. If an external AC supply is provided, the ground relay H will open before the input safety relay closes. This ensures the correct operation of an earth leakage circuit breaker that is connected to the output. An uninterrupted grounding can also be secured by means of the grounding wire of the AC input. Otherwise the casing must be grounded.

The mains input & output terminal connector can be found on the bottom of the MultiPlus Compact. The mains cable must be connected to the connector with a three-wire cable. Use correctly rated cable.

PROCEDURE

Proceed as follows to connect the AC cables:

1. The AC output cable is connected directly to the male-connector, (the connector pulls out). The terminal points are indicated clearly. From left to right: “N” (neutral), earth, and “L1” (phase)

2. The AC input is connected directly to the female-connector, (the connector pulls out). The terminal points are indicated clearly. From left to right: “L1” (phase), earth, and “N” (neutral)

3. Push the “input” connector into the AC-in connector (near to rear-side)

4. Push the “output” connector into the AC-out connector (near to front-side)

OPERATION

On/Off/Charger Only Switch

For all operation as a battery backup system, the switch should be in the “on”, position meaning the product is

fully functional - powering the pumps with through power during times of normal power supply, inverter power

during power outage. When mains power is not interrupted, the unit will charge the batteries also.

• Charge States (see LED Indications below)

• Bulk - Heavy and fast charge for batteries that are very or fully depleted

• Absorption - Final top up charge at a lower charge rate than Bulk

• Float - Trickle charge for when batteries are fully charged to replace charge that is lost over time. This ensures that the batteries are always fully charged

• If the voltage at the “AC-in” terminal is not within specications, during a power outage, for example, the inverter will switch on

• There is no need to switch the unit to “charger only” mode
