1. Introduction
The VE.Bus Multi Control panel (VBMC) is the correct choice if you want to remotely control
a simple Multi system based on VE.Bus.
If more than 1 AC input has to be controlled by the panel or if the transfer currents exceed
the maximum of the VBMC, the Digital Multi Control (DMC) should be used instead.
Connecting the VBMC to your system is a simple procedure. In most cases just connecting
it with a RJ45 cable is sufficient and no extra set-up handling is required.
Note:
The VBMC is completely backwards compatible so it is also very well suitable to be used
with non VE.Bus systems. (The word "system" refers to an installation of one or more Multis
or Quattro's.)
This manual describes only VE.Bus systems. Please contact Victron Energy if you need
specific information about using this panel with non-VE.Bus systems. To determine whether
or not your system is VE.Bus, check the firmware version in the Multi. All Multi firmware
versions 15xxyyy, 17xxyyy and 18xxyyy are non VE.Bus. (Quattro's are always VE.Bus.)
