FIXING TO THE WALL
Fix the provided blue top xing bracket to the wall via the 3 pre-drilled drilled holes. Screws are provided. It is
important to x the bracket level. Attach the MultiPlus to the top support bracket using the lugs on the rear of
the unit. Complete the x by screwing the bottom of the MultiPlus to the wall via the bottom 2 holes using the
screws provided. Carefully mark out the hole centres then take the MultiPlus off the wall to drill the holes.
Note: Rawl plugs will be required for the screws for certain wall types (not supplied).
CONNECTION OF BATTERY CABLES
1. Before connections are made, test the batteries open circuit voltage. This should be at a minimum of 13V
before installing
2. Use an insulated box spanner in order to avoid shorting the battery. Avoid shorting the battery cables
3. Connect the battery cables: the + (red) and the - (black), to the battery. Reverse polarity connection (+ to –
and – to +) will cause damage to the product and will void the warranty
4. The terminal nuts should be tightened to torque gure 8.0Nm/71 in-Ib
CONNECTION OF THE AC CABLING
This is a Safety Class I product (supplied with a protective grounding terminal). Uninterrupted protective
grounding must be provided at the AC input and/or output terminals and/or chassis grounding point located
externally on the product.
The MultiPlus Compact is provided with a ground relay that automatically connects the Neutral output to the
chassis if no external AC supply is available. If an external AC supply is provided, the ground relay H will open
before the input safety relay closes. This ensures the correct operation of an earth leakage circuit breaker that is
connected to the output. An uninterrupted grounding can also be secured by means of the grounding wire of
the AC input. Otherwise the casing must be grounded.
The mains input & output terminal connector can be found on the bottom of the MultiPlus Compact. The mains
cable must be connected to the connector with a three-wire cable. Use correctly rated cable.
PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows to connect the AC cables:
1. The AC output cable is connected directly to the male-connector, (the connector pulls out). The terminal
points are indicated clearly. From left to right: “N” (neutral), earth, and “L1” (phase)
2. The AC input is connected directly to the female-connector, (the connector pulls out). The terminal points
are indicated clearly. From left to right: “L1” (phase), earth, and “N” (neutral)
3. Push the “input” connector into the AC-in connector (near to rear-side)
4. Push the “output” connector into the AC-out connector (near to front-side)
QUICK INSTALL GUIDE

OPERATION
On/Off/Charger Only Switch
For all operation as a battery backup system, the switch should be in the “on”, position meaning the product is
fully functional - powering the pumps with through power during times of normal power supply, inverter power
during power outage. When mains power is not interrupted, the unit will charge the batteries also.
• Charge States (see LED Indications below)
• Bulk - Heavy and fast charge for batteries that are very or fully depleted
• Absorption - Final top up charge at a lower charge rate than Bulk
• Float - Trickle charge for when batteries are fully charged to replace charge that is lost over time. This
ensures that the batteries are always fully charged
• If the voltage at the “AC-in” terminal is not within specications, during a power outage, for example, the
inverter will switch on
• There is no need to switch the unit to “charger only” mode
LED INDICATIONS
MAINTENANCE
The unit does not require specic maintenance. All connections should be checked once a year as part of the
pump servicing regime. Avoid moisture, oil/soot/vapours, and keep the device clean.
