Unique PowerAssist feature
The MultiPlus will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery.
Uninterrupted AC power (UPS function)
In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Monitor and control your MultiPlus and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop, or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, via the required Color Control GX or Venus GX, from adjusting your MultiPlus to setting a Geofence for-hire vehicles and more.
Multifunctional, with intelligent power management
The Multiplus is a powerful true sine wave inverter, a sophisticated battery charger that features adaptive charge technology, and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclosure. Next to these primary functions, the Multiplus has several advanced features, as outlined below.
PowerControl- Dealing with limited generator, shore side or grid power
Multiplus is a very powerful battery charger. It will, therefore, draw a lot of current from the generator or shore side supply (near 20 A per 3 kVA Multiplus at 120 VAC). With the multiples control panel, a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The Multiplus will then take account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the generator or shore supply from being overloaded.
PowerAssist- Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power
This feature takes the principle of power control to a further dimension. It allows the Multiplus to supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only for a limited period, the Multiplus will make sure that insufficient shore or generator power is immediately compensated for by power from a battery. When the load reduces, the spare power is used to recharge the battery.
System configuring has never been easier
After the installation, the Multiplus is ready to go. If settings have to be charged, this can be done in a matter of minutes with a DIP with the setting procedure. Even parallel and 3-phase operating can be programmed with DIP switches: no computer needed. Alternatively, VE. Net can be used instead of the DIP switches. And sophisticated software (VE.Bus Quick Configure and VE.Bus System Configurator) is available to configure several new, advanced, features.
