5.5.1.4 Stand-alone, parallel, 2-3 phase operation
DIP switches ds2 and ds1 are reserved for the selection of stand-alone, parallel, split phase or 3-phase operation
NOTE:
• When configuring a parallel or 2-3 phase system, all related devices should be interconnected using RJ45 UTP
cables (see appendix C, D). All devices must be turned on. They will subsequently return an error code (see Section
7), since they have been integrated into a system and still are configured as ‘stand-alone’. This error message can
safely be ignored.
• Storing settings (by pressing the ‘Up’ button (step 1) – and later on the ‘Down’ button (step 2) – for 2 seconds) should
be done on one device only. This device is the ‘master’ in a parallel system or the ‘leader’ (L1) in a 2-3 phase system.
In a parallel system, the step-1 setting of DIP switches ds8 to ds3 need to be done on the master only. The slaves
will follow the master with regard to these settings (hence the master/slave relationship).
In a 2-3 phase system, a number of settings are required for the other devices, i.e. the followers (for phases L2 and if
applicable L3).
(The followers, therefore, do not follow the leader for all settings, hence the leader/follower terminology).
• A change in the setting ‘stand-alone / parallel / 2-3 phase’ is only activated after the setting has been stored (by
pressing the ‘UP’ button for 2 seconds) and after all devices have been turned off and then on again. In order to start
up a VE.Bus system correctly, all devices should therefore be turned off after the settings have been stored. They
can then be turned on in any order. The system will not start until all devices have been turned on.
• Note that only identical devices can be integrated in one system. Any attempt to use different models in one system
will fail. Such devices may possibly function correctly again only after individual reconfiguration for ‘stand-alone’
operation.
• The combination ds2=on and ds1=on is not used.
Stand-alone operation (see figure 1)
Step 1: Setting ds2 and ds1 for stand-alone operation
Examples of DIP switch settings for stand-alone mode are given below.
Example 1 shows the factory setting (since factory settings are entered by computer, all DIP switches of a new product are set
to ‘off’ and are not related to the actual settings in the microprocessor).
Important: When a remote panel is connected, the AC-in-2 current limit is determined by the panel and not by the value stored
in the Quattro.
Four examples of stand-alone settings:
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (upper button to the right of
the DIP switches, see appendix A, position K). The overload and low-battery LED’s will flash to indicate acceptance of the
settings.
We recommend making a note of the settings, and filing this information in a safe place.
You can now re-use the DIP switches to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
