Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.
•
Never position the appliance directly above the batteries.
The product is suitable for wall mounting. The back of the enclosure has holes for wall
mounting purposes, see Appendix B.
The appliance can be mounted horizontally as well as vertically; vertical mounting is preferable.
The vertical position offers optimum cooling.
The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
Ensure that the AC and DC input cables are fitted with fuses and circuit breakers. Try and keep
the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize cable
voltage losses.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant environment
if it is used with equipment where a substantial amount of power is to be converted.
You should prevent the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains
or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.

2.1.2 Reading LEDs – setting values (Multi/ MultiPlus)
The value of a setting can be determined on the basis of the following formula:
Value set = setting number * scale + offset
The ‘offset’ and the ‘scale’ are specified for each setting.
The setting number is indicated as follows via the LEDs:
The LEDs are divided into 2 columns of 4 LEDs each.
Each column indicates the numbers 0 - 9.
These columns together indicate 2-digit numbers.
The left column indicates the left-hand digit. The right-hand column shows the righthand digit.
The digit in a column can be determined by adding the separate ‘LED values’.
A flashing LED counts as 1 and an illuminated LED as 2.
A special case is 4 flashing LEDs. This signifies a 9.

Charging Characteristics
The Phoenix Multi/ MultiPlus has 3 pre-programmed charging characteristics.
Fixed Charging Characteristic:
The absorption period is a fixed preset period. Following the absorption mode, the charger
switches to float. In order to “refresh” the battery, the charger periodically switches back to
absorption.
Adaptive Charging Characteristic:
The absorption period depends on the charge delivered during bulk. This is followed by float
phase lasting 24 hours, after which the voltage is reduced by an additional 0,8 V resp. 1,6 V for
12 V resp. 24 V batteries. (reduced float). As with the Fixed-charging characteristic, the charger
will periodically switch back to absorption.
Adaptive Charging Characteristic with batterySafe mode (default setting):
If, in order to quickly charge a battery, a high charge current in combination with a high
absorption voltage has been chosen, the Phoenix charger will prevent damage due to excessive
gassing by automatically limiting the rate of voltage increase once the gassing voltage has been
reached

The optimal absorption voltage for flat plate lead acid batteries is subject to mechanical and
chemical properties. Batteries with high antimony content can typically be charged with a lower

PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator or shore side power
The Multi is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the
generator or shore side supply (nearly 10 A per Multi at 230 VAC). With the Phoenix Multi
Control Panel (PMC) a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The Multi 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.
It is also possible to set the max. generator/ shore current internally.
The generator/ shore current can be set at 1 - 16A.

PowerAssist – Boosting the capacity of shore or generator power
The feature that distinguishes the Phoenix MultiPlus from the standard Multi is PowerAssist.
This feature takes the principle of PowerControl to a further dimension allowing the MultiPlus to
supplement the capacity of the alternative source. Where peak power is so often required only
for a limited period, it is possible to reduce the size of generator needed or conversely enable
more to be achieved from the typically limited shore connection. When the load reduces, the
spare power is used to recharge the battery.
Note: minimum shore current 4 A or generator capacity 2,5 kW required per MultiPlus.

2.6 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 as clean as possible.

4-stage charging:
Bulk-mode: Entered when charger is started. Constant current is applied until nominal battery voltage is reached,
depending on temperature and input voltage, after which constant power is applied up to the point where excessive
gassing is starting (14.4V resp. 28.8V, temperature compensated).
Battery Safe Mode: The applied voltage to the battery is raised gradually until the set Absorption voltage is reached. The
Battery Safe Mode is part of the calculated absorption time.
Absorption-mode: Absorption voltage is applied until {actual-Bulk-Ah*5 / max.adjusted-Bulk-current} (in hours) is
reached. Usually {actual-Bulk-Ah*5} = {max.adjusted-Bulk-current * Bulk-hours *5}, but the actual-Bulk-current can be
limited by ambient temperature, or remote control. The maximum time in Absorption mode is the Maximum Absorption
time set.
Float-mode: Float voltage is applied to keep the battery fully charged and to protect it against self-discharge.
Reduced Float: After one day of Float charge a reduced Float charge is applied. This is 13,2V resp. 26,4V (for 12V and
24V charger). This will limit water loss to a minimum when the battery is stored for the winter season.
After an adjustable time (default = 7 days) the charger will enter Repeated Absorption-mode for an adjustable time
(default = 4 quarters).
