2.4 Settings that can be changed with VEConfigure
All settings discussed in the previous paragraph can also, and much more conveniently, be
changed with VEConfigure
The following settings can be changed with VEConfigure only (see VEConfigure for a
complete list):
- Ground relay (default: on). When running on inverter the output neutral is connected to
the output ground wire and therefore also the chassis. This is to ensure proper functioning
of a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), to be installed on the AC output of the
MultiPlus. In an isolated system the ground relay should be disabled. Proper isolation of
both phase and neutral from ground should then be monitored with an isolation watch
system.
- Dynamic current limit (default: off). Some modern AC generators use a static inverter to
generate the AC output. Some of these generators also reduce rpm when operating with
reduced load. By enabling the Dynamic Current Limit function (VEConfigure) the MultiPlus
can be used to assist the generator when suddenly a high load is connected.
- Alarm Relay / Virtual Switch (default: disabled)
A programmable relay is available in both the Phoenix Inverter and Multi/MultiPlus. This
relay can be used for remote alarm and other purposes (a. o. generator start signal). The
relay can be programmed with VEConfigure.
- AC input frequency tracking range: see section 2.3.4.
2.5 Maintenance
The Phoenix Multi does not require specific maintenance. Annual checking of all
connections and eventually removal of dust suffices. Protect the product from humidity and
oil fumes and keep it clean.
