Multi RS

To ensure a trouble free operation of the Multi RS, it must be used in locations that meet the following requirements:  

a) Avoid any contact with water. Do not expose the product to rain or moisture.

b) Install the Multi RS upright and vertical. Ensure 30cm clearance above and below it.

c) The Multi RS must be installed on a non-flammable surface and the construction materials surrounding the installation should also be non-flammable.

d) Do not place the unit in direct sunlight. Ambient air temperature should be between  -40°C and 60°C (humidity < 95% non-condensing).  

e) Do not install the Multi RS in an environment where the air could be contaminated with particulate matter such as soot, dust or salt. For example conductive soot from the exhaust of a diesel generator could be drawn into the unit and cause short circuits inside it.

f) Do not install the Multi RS where flammable or corrosive gases or vapours could come near the installation.

g) Do not obstruct the airflow around the Multi RS.

h) If the Multi RS is installed in an area used for general storage, ensure that no flammable materials such a cardboard boxes are stored close to the installation. Ensure that the end user is aware of these requirements.

The Multi RS contains potentially dangerous voltages. It should only be installed under the supervision of a suitable qualified installer with the appropriate training, and subject to local requirements. Please contact Victron Energy for further information or necessary training.

Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:

·        Reduced service life.

·        Reduced charging current.

·        Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.

Never position the appliance directly above lead-acid batteries. The Multi RS is suitable for wall mounting. For mounting purposes, a hook and two holes are provided at the back of the casing. The Multi RS must be fitted vertically for optimal cooling.

For safety purposes, the Multi RS should be installed in a heat-resistant environment. Any presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity should be prevented at all times.

Never connect batteries directly to the Multi RS without adequate circuit protection.

Always ensure that adequate circuit protection is installed between the batteries and the Multi RS.

Batteries shall have a flammability class of HB or better.

Each system requires a method of disconnecting the AC and DC circuits.

If the overcurrent protection device is a circuit breaker, it can also serve as the disconnect switch.

If fuses are used, separate disconnect switches are required between the source and the fuses.
