 1. General information

1.1 Warnings, legal information and safety

1.1.1 Symbols for hazard statements

DANGER!

This shows dangerous situations.

If the guidelines are not followed, these situations will result in death, serious personal injury, and equipment
damage or destruction.

WARNING

This shows potentially dangerous situations.

If the guidelines are not followed, these situations could result in death, serious personal injury, and equipment
damage or destruction.

CAUTION

This shows low level risk situation.

If the guidelines are not followed, these situations could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

This shows an important notice

Make sure to read this information.

1.1.2 Symbols for general notes

1.1.3 Legal information and disclaimer

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set or switchgear. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator or switchgear controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the equipment must be contacted.

Installation instructions 4189341076F EN Page 4 of 29

NOTE The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the warranty will be lost.
Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.

The English version of this document always contains the most recent and up-to-date information about the product. DEIF
does not take responsibility for the accuracy of translations, and translations might not be updated at the same time as the
English document. If there is a discrepancy, the English version prevails.

1.1.4 Safety during installation and operation

When you install and operate the equipment, you may have to work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation
must only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with electrical equipment.

DANGER!

Hazardous live currents and voltages

Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measurement inputs and the relay terminals, as this could lead to
injury or death.

1.1.5 Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the unit is
installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

1.1.6 Factory settings

The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values and are not
necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions must be taken to check the
settings before running the engine/generator set.

1.2 About the installation instructions

1.2.1 General purpose

These Installation Instructions include hardware information, mounting instructions, terminal strip descriptions, I/O lists and
wiring descriptions.

The purpose of this document is to give the user important information to be used in the installation of the controller.

NOTICE

Incorrect wiring
Read this document before starting to work with the Multi-line 2 unit and the equipment to be controlled. Failure to do this
could result in human injury or damage to the equipment.

We would love to hear from you.

 4. Wiring

4.1 AC connections
The Multi-line 2 unit can be wired up in 1-phase, 2-phase or 3-phase configuration.

CAUTION

Incorrect wiring
Contact the switchboard manufacturer for accurate information about required wiring for the specific
application.

4.1.1 Neutral line (N)

When 3-phase distribution systems are used, the neutral line (N) is only necessary if it is a 3-phase + neutral system. If the
distribution system is a 3-phase system without neutral, then leave the terminals 84 and 88 empty.

4.1.2 Current transformer grounding

The current transformer ground connection can be made on s1 or s2 connection, whichever is preferred.

4.1.3 Fuses

Protect the AC voltage measurement cables with 2 A, slow blow fuses.

4.1.4 3-phase wiring

The diagram shows the most important points to wire, and it shows the example where the PV breaker is installed, but this
is optional.

4.2.5 Transistor outputs (open collector outputs)

The open collector outputs can be used as kWh and kvarh counter outputs or as relay outputs. The outputs are low power
outputs. For that reason, one of the following circuits must be applied.

Maximum load on the open collector outputs is 10 mA at 24 V DC.

4.3 Communication
4.3.1 CAN bus and RS-485 cable recommendation

Use a shielded twisted cable. Use a 120 ohm resistor at each end. Wiring that uses a two-wire cable is acceptable. Wiring
that uses a three-wire cable is best.

NOTE If the device terminals are not galvanically separated, ground the cable shield at that end.
NOTE The system must not have more than one ground for the cable shield.

DEIF recommends this cable: Belden 3105A or equivalent. 22 AWG (0.6 mm ⌀, 0.33mm2) twisted pair, shielded, <40 mΩ/m,
min. 95 % shield coverage. The cable type is particularly important if the total line length is more than 30 m.

4.3.2 CAN bus for power management

Examples with three controllers connected, for example one ASC and two generator AGC controllers.

CAN bus B wiring with 2-wire cable
