Product Details

The MultiPlus, as the name suggests, is a combined inverter and charger in one elegant package. Its many features include a true sine wave inverter, adaptive charging, hybrid PowerAssist technology, plus multiple system integration features.

Unique PowerAssist feature

The MultiPlus will prevent overload of a limited AC source, such as a generator or shore power connection. First, battery charging will automatically be reduced when otherwise an overload would occur. The second level will boost the output of a generator or shore side supply with power taken from the battery.

Uninterrupted AC power (UPS function)

In the event of a grid failure, or when shore or generator power is disconnected, the inverter within the Multi is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected loads. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption.

Virtually unlimited power thanks to parallel operation

Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher power output. Three phase or split phase operation is also possible. Please check our datasheets to see which models have paralleling, three phase and split phase capabilities.

Remote Monitoring and Control

When coupled with a GX device (e.g. Cerbo GX) you can monitor and control your Multi and system or systems' locally (LAN) or remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world, using the free VRM app and free VRM portal website. Access can be from a phone, tablet, laptop or PC for multiple operating systems. There is no end to the level of control, from adjusting your Multi to auto starting a backup generator and more…

Features & Connectivity

  • Two AC Outputs: The main output features "no-break" functionality. The second output is live only when AC is available on the input, preventing non-critical loads (like water heaters) from discharging the battery.
  • PowerControl & PowerAssist: Allows for setting a maximum generator or shore current limit; the MultiPlus supplements the alternative source with battery power when peak demand exceeds the limit.
  • Parallel Operation: Up to 6 units can be connected in parallel to achieve higher power output.
  • Three-Phase Capability: Three units of the same model can be configured for three-phase output.
  • Transfer Switch: 16 A
  • Programmable Relay: Can be configured for general alarms, DC under-voltage, or generator start/stop functions.
  • Auxiliary Output: Yes (16 A)
  • VE.Bus Communication Port: For parallel/three-phase operation, remote monitoring, and system integration.
  • Remote On-Off: Yes
  • General Purpose COM Port: Yes
