I would like to put my 12/3000/120 Multiplus inverter charger into search mode. The handbook says this can be done using free software and a computer, but it also states that 'Settings may only be changed by a qualified electrical engineer' and warns that the program is not designed to be used by owners/users. This sounds a bit scary, like I risk really messing things up if I try and do it myself. Can anyone advise?
You also need a MK3 Interface to connect to the MultiPlus.

Yes, if you start to randomly changing settings without knowing what they do you can mess up and/or damage the MultiPlus and/or other connected devices.
Enabling AES is just to check a box.
Once connected you can also check if the charger settings suit your battery and adjust the low voltage cut-off.
'Instead of AES mode, the search mode can also be chosen'
Would this just be a simple check-box also?
Many thanks
You can use a demo mode in VE.config to see what you can do.
VictronConnect also have a demo library.
You can also update the settings via VRM if you have the Multiplus connected to Venus device like the Cerbo, Color Control GX or a Raspberry Pi with Venus installed and a Canbus interface.
