What settings are available for Multiplus-II inverter using VictronConnect App?
I need detailed information on each feature listed in the main menu sections of the VictronConnect app after having connected it to my Multiplus II inverter using the MK3 USB cable. I am very new, so could you provide a specific description of all the features, so inside the General, Grid, Inverter, Charger, and AC Input Control sections?

Each section within the VictronConnect app contains specific settings that allow you to manage and configure your Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger. Here’s a breakdown of the features within each main menu section:
The Settings menu in VictronConnect provides a structured way to manage and configure various aspects of your Victron device. Here’s a rundown of each section as seen in the menu:
-
General: This section includes settings that apply to the general operation of your inverter/charger, such as system frequency, input current limits, and whether the current limit can be overridden by a remote control.
-
Grid: These settings pertain to how your inverter interacts with the grid power. It includes options for setting voltage and frequency ranges that are acceptable for the inverter to utilize grid power, as well as settings for features like UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) function.
-
Inverter: Here, you’ll find settings specifically related to the inverter function, like the output voltage the inverter will provide to your devices, and various protections and features related to the DC input from the batteries.
-
Charger: This category covers the battery charging functions of your inverter/charger. It allows you to set the charge current, absorption voltage, float voltage, and parameters for the charging algorithm.
-
AC Input Control: This section provides options for managing AC input, such as setting conditions for when the inverter should connect to or disconnect from AC input based on load or battery conditions.
-
Advanced: In the advanced settings, you can fine-tune the behavior of your inverter/charger with options such as prioritizing other energy sources, which is useful when integrating with systems like solar panels or wind turbines.
-
Help & Manuals: Access to documentation and support resources for your Victron device can be found in this part of the menu. It’s a helpful section for troubleshooting and learning more about the features of your device.
Each of these sections helps organize the settings into logical groupings, making it easier for you to find and adjust specific aspects of your inverter/charger’s operation.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the features within each main menu section:
General Settings:
-
System frequency: This sets the output frequency of the inverter, typically at 50Hz or 60Hz.
-
AC1 input current limit: Determines the maximum AC current the inverter will draw.
-
Current limit overruled by remote: Allows a remote device to override the current limit.
-
Dynamic current limit: Helps prevent AC voltage drops if a sudden load increase occurs.
-
External current sensor connected: To be toggled on if an external sensor is used for monitoring current.
-
Enable battery monitor: Activates the monitoring of the connected battery’s status.
-
Battery capacity: Specifies the total usable capacity of the battery, important for accurate SOC calculations.
-
State of charge when bulk finished: Sets the SOC level at which the charger switches from bulk to absorption phase.
-
Charge efficiency: Factor to correct the charge efficiency of the battery system.
Grid Settings:
-
Options like “Accept wide input frequency range” and “UPS function” dictate how the inverter interacts with irregular grid frequencies and power outages.
-
AC low/high voltage disconnect/connect: These settings determine the voltage thresholds at which the inverter will disconnect from or reconnect to the grid to protect against voltage anomalies.
Inverter Settings:
-
Inverter output voltage: Sets the voltage for the AC power output by the inverter.
-
Ground relay, DC input low shutdown, and DC input low pre-alarm: These settings manage the safety and operation of the inverter with respect to ground faults and low DC voltage conditions.
Charger Settings:
-
Enable charger: Toggles the charger function on or off.
-
Charge current and Charge curve: Define how much current is used to charge the battery and the method by which the battery is charged.
-
Temperature compensation and BatterySafe: Adjust charging based on battery temperature and implement safety features to protect battery life.
AC Input Control Settings:
-
Conditional AC input connection: Manages how and when the inverter connects to AC input based on various conditions such as load and battery SOC.
-
Settings like “Connect when load is higher than” and “Disconnect when voltage is higher than” allow you to set thresholds for managing AC input based on system load and voltage levels.
