  Is it necessary to disconnect MultiPlus-II from the DC power source before I turn off the switch, or is it safe to just use the switch?

  The recommended sequence for shutting down your MultiPlus-II 230V is actually to use the on/off switch first before disconnecting it from the DC power source.

  Here’s how to do it and why:

  • Switch-Off First: Use the on/off/charger-only switch to turn off the unit. This step ensures that the inverter/charger stops operating and prepares the system for a safe shutdown.

  • De-Powering After: Once the unit is switched off, you can then proceed to completely de-power the MultiPlus-II by disconnecting it from its DC power source.

  • Safety Consideration: This sequence is recommended for safety. Turning off the switch first reduces the risk of any electrical incidents or shorts that could occur if you were to disconnect the DC source while the unit is still operational.

  • Residual Voltage: Remember, even after turning off the unit and disconnecting it from the DC power source, there may still be residual voltage present. So, avoid touching any terminals or opening the unit.

  In other words, switching off your MultiPlus-II 230V before disconnecting it from the DC power source is a safety measure to ensure a controlled and risk-free shutdown process.
