Quattro pass-thru settings

Hi guys,


I have a quattro 12/5000/220 with a backup 5kVA generator attached.


I am looking for a way to transfer my larger loads from the batteries onto the generator, but the quattro just switches over immediately. Is there a way to slowly transfer the load between from batteries to generator? I have power assist enabled.


Whenever I initiate the load, the quattro immediately dumps all the power requirements onto the generator. I don’t like loading the generator with 70-80% of its capacity in just a second or two.


Any advice greatly appreciated, and let me know if I can provide further information.

You could turn the current input down to the minimum input current for your Quattro, and then manually build it up if you have a gx device or DMC controller. But there's no automatic way.

@Nicholas Duncan

In the Quattro's settings, tick 'Dynamic Current Limiter'. It's like a soft-start thing, and usually an essential for genset supply.
