It is my understanding that the Quattro AC output 2 can be used to power a diversion load using excess solar generation. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
I have a 10kva Quattro, Lynx shunt for battery SOC, Cerbo gx mk2, and I use a smart shunt to measure solar generation.
Also, I’m new to the forum and hope I’m posting this correctly!
Hi @DaveD
Yes you use the simplest way is to use the programmable relay assistant to drive the ac2 relay
Open ve config in demo mode and go to the assistant tab and play with it there.
There are a few walk through videos on you tube. For example this one. And this one.
And a few other creative ways once you get more comfortable with your kit.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Under switch conditions, using state of charge, it indicates “ internal battery monitor “. Is this internal to the Quattro? I want to use the Lynx shunt for SOC.
The internal battery monitor synchronises with the lynx using dvcc so you can use it.
Another question regarding the Quattro, is it possible to ignore AC input 2? I would like to have utility power available on AC input 2 but only utilized based on battery % of charge. I am using Assistants for other control so can’t use any Virtual Switch functions. I used an external contactor for a similar scenario on my old inverter, but would like to do it internally to the inverter, if possible.
Thanks for your help.
Yes. It is also the realy assistant, however you use the primary relay as the option.
That didn’t seem to work for me. I set the primary relay to be off if SOC is above 69%, and to be on if SOC is below 67%, as a test. The charger just continues to run.
I also programmed auxiliary input 2 to open and close the primary relay for manual control.
Is the primary programmable relay the relay that comes set up as the alarm relay?
I want to control the relay that interrupts incoming ac power on AC input 2.
Hi Dave.
Try watching this tutorial it uses the general flag to ignore ac.
My apologies the previous comment was not detailed enough. The video is an adaptation of this manual.
