1.0 General safety precautions
IMPORTANT – Please study all the instructions before
mounting and commissioning.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place and
instruct all users in the function and operation of the
product.
Installation and service should only be implemented after
studying the wiring diagram thoroughly.
Avoid the dismantling of any factory-mounted parts,
since it impedes the commissioning of the equipment.
All electrical installations must be carried out by an au-
thorised electrician.
1.1 Danger
Dismantling parts on the MultiBox whilst in operation
could be deadly dangerous.
Always disconnect the MultiBox from the mains, when
removing the cover.
2.0 Adjustment of parameters
The MultiBox contains sevaral software programs, which
controls how the MultiBox behaves. The MultiBox is by
default set to 530, which is the program that is to be
used in 9 out of 10 situations
1. Connect the MultiBox to 230 Volts as shown in
the diagram
2. The Display will show “P0” on power-up
3. Press “ENTER” and select the appropriate soft
ware program by scrolling with the “+”
and “-“ keys and the press “ENTER” once more.
4. Shift to P1 (the set point parameter) by using
the “+” key and the press “ENTER” – adjust the
value to your desired set point pressure
(in Pascals) and press “ENTER” once more.
5. Use the “+” until you get to D10.
6. Keep the “ENTER” key pressed until you get a
beep (tells you that the changes you have made
are now saved in EEPROM).
7. In case of failure – cut the power for at least 20
seconds and put it back on. The MultiBox is now
reset and you must start the programming pro-
cedure again.

The software is applied for PID feedback regulation of
process air extraction by means of frequency inverter or
electric or pneumatic damper. The regulator PID signal
can be inverted, and thereby have opposite direction.
The Transmitter has 0-10V signal for calculated air ex-
traction ow, and slave control of balanced Inlet air.
The following start-up procedure is recommended:
• Installation according to diagram below
• Green or Red Alarm diode when T3 is active
• Select software V530 or V630 in Parameter P00
• Connect one pressure sensor tube to ventilation
ducting, or 2 sensor tubes to a ow meter
• Select desired regulator setpoint (Pa) in P01
• Select min. and max. alarm limits
in P02 and P03
• Control signal in T10 can be inverted in P16.
• Terminal T10 is connected to freq. inv. or damper
• Terminal T8 with slave signal for balanced inlet
air is connected to inlet air frequency inverter
• Terminal T9 with ow signal (l/s) can be
connected to Sumbox such as version
V670 or V675.
• Max fan capacity (50 Hz) is entered into P14
• Controller start in T4 or pres ESC
(when P94=yes).

4
After start-up the following adjustments
are possible:
• Adjust PID regulator: higher P06-value will
speed up the regulator, and higher P07-value
will moderate the regulator and reduce instability
• Adjust P22 and P23 to max Room and
Inlet air ow
• T8 has 0-10V signal for Inlet air slave control
• T9 has 0-10V signal for ow rate transmitter
The regulator maintains the actual set point as
indicated in P10, and transmit 0-10V signals
for ow rate(T9) and slave control of
Inlet air (T8) with frequency control
