Can Multiplus 2 ACout 2 be programmed to open on state of charge?

With the new version of the multiplus 2, I was under the impression that you could program it to use battery to a certain state of charge? Is this correct? And is this even when the grid is not available?

In the programmable relay 'Switch Conditions' tab select 2 options to control the programable relay (AC Out 2) - 'AC Input' and 'State Of Charge'.

It should then act if either of the 2 conditions are satisfied.

An ON condition also has priority over an OFF condition.

Hi @Dylan
This is correct, you can program it with assistants to work as you want it to.

You can use relay assistants, or the 'generator start/stop assistant'

Is there a guide somewhere for relay assistants?

I am not aware of a specific guide for what you are trying to do beyond the assistants documentation already linked.

It is covered is some Victron training sessions provided to qualified installers.

You might like to contact one of them for a consultation:

When I program the relay, as shown in the picture. It deativates AC-2 out even if the grid is available. Is there a way to program it to only do this when there is grid failure?
