Victron Energy Quattro - Quick guide operation instructions- From 2011
Quattro Inverter/charger Control switch and operational LED’s
The Victron Energy Quattro is a 3000va inverter with a 100amp battery charger capacity, which
is programmed by Avida for our battery configuration of 3 batteries totalling 300amp/h, the
charger is programmed to a max 60amp output.
The inverter will automatically detect a 240v input from either the onboard genset or 240v mains
and supply the motorhome 240v via 2 independent outputs (1), the inverter output circuit, to
GPO’s and (2) mains output circuit, to roof A/C, hot water service, refrigerator and stove.
This document is designed a s a quick start operational guide of the Quattro system, for a
detailed guide to the operations and its full functions, please refer to the Victron Energy
