I have (2) Multiplus compact 2000 units in split-phase configuration and "switched as group" is unchecked. I can only get the Mulitplus on line 1 to work with "ignore AC" and successfully switch over to AC when the load is above the set limit. The other Multiplus will always ignore the AC and never connect even when the load is beyond the set limit. Both inverters have the exact same settings. What am I doing wrong?
I did not use the assistant. I used the "dedicated ignore AC" option with the virtual switch. It is set to connect to AC at 1600w, disconnect at 1400w, and connect at 12v, disconnect at 13.2v.
Hi @djpollock
as the inverters don't know the load on the other inverter, it will only switch the inverter where the load state is met.
I'd advice to use an assistant on the inverters, use them to switch relay outputs, and wire the relais to an open input, use another assistant to ignore AC when that input is open / closed.
I see. I understand the inverters don't know the load on the other inverter. But, the inverter on Line 2 doesn't reconnect when the load on Line 2 is above the setting; that's why I am confused. Is there a fix for this? I understand your work-around, but it seems like you shouldn't have to do that if the appropriate settings are selected for the virtual switch. Am I missing something?
Hi @djpollock
I'm sorry that I can't give more detailed answers, because.... I don't know ;)
I can only give you the advice I gave earlier...
Ok thank you. Is there anyone else on staff that would know how to make this work as intended?
Hi @djpollock
My advice is still:
-use assistants
and then start building step-by-step, switch an output relay to see if your settings work, then extend to the next function.
