1.6.4 Remote Control
The product can be operated remotely in two ways.
•
Use of only an external switch.
•
With a Phoenix Multi Control anel.
For connection of the switch see Appendix A.
Observe the following when using only an external switch:
•
Only functions if the switch on the product is switched to the "on" position.
•
Not to be connected if a remote control panel is connected.
For connection of the remote control panel, see Appendix A.
Observe the following when using a remote control panel:
•
Only functions if the switch on the product is switched to the "on" position.
1.6.5 External Relay (Multi/ MultiPlus)
The maximum current that can be switched through from the AC input to the AC output is 16
A (optional: 30 A). At more than 16 A an external contactor is needed: please consult your
supplier.
1.6.6 Parallel Connection
The product can be connected in parallel using several identical models, see Appendix G.
The batteries must be connected in accordance with Appendix E or F. This requires
interconnecting the products with the aid of a special cable to be supplied by Victron
Energy, in conjunction with a connection diagram.
Parallel connection requires compliance with the following conditions:
•
No more than five units should be connected in parallel.
•
Only identical models should be connected in parallel (exception: for MultiPlus
functionality only the Master needs to be a MultiPlus).
•
Ensure sufficient battery capacity is available.
•
The prescribed cable cross sections (between battery and distribution point) must be
multiplied with the number of appliances to be connected in parallel.
•
Position the products close to each other but ensure there is adequate clearance for
ventilation, min.10 cm.
•
The temperature sensor, voltage sensor and remote control must be connected to the
master.
•
The cables for each appliance must be equal in length (AC and DC).
1.6.7 3-phase operation
The Phoenix Multi/MultiPlus can also be used in a 3-phase system, see Appendix 0. The
batteries must be connected in accordance with Appendix E or F. The following conditions
should be complied with in the case of 3-phase operation:
•
Only identical models should be used.
•
Ensure sufficient battery capacity is available.
•
Position the products close to each other but ensure there is adequate clearance for
ventilation (min. 10 cm)
•
The temperature sensor and voltage sensor should preferably be connected to all
three products.
•
Only a single remote control can be connected, using splitters.
