Victron two signal BMS assistant for Multiplus and Quatro inverter/chargers.

Victron two signal BMS assistant for Multiplus and Quatro inverter/chargers. 2020-06-08

This worked for my Multiplus Compact 12/1600. I have all the DIP switches set to OFF. This way, when the rocker switch is set to ON, the unit is only controlled through the relays. When the rocker switch is OFF, the the unit switches off and cannot be switched on by the BMS.
The resource itself is first class, however on the last page of the download, it indicates what actions are recommended, which i dont agree with. It states to 'Force to float' and 'set SOC to 100%'
However, what if the BMS has been triggered by a low temp disconnect instead of LVD/HVD? If it is say minus 5deg C and it goes to float mode, you might still be charging the cells depending on settings, or the pack might only be 50% SOC when the temp disconnect happens, so you wouldn't want it reset to 100%
Just something else to give a little bit of thought to....imho.
I use this assistant and personally opted for 'Disable charger' and 'do not adapt SOC' in my configuration....i felt this was ultimately safer.

Yup.... You gotta select settings that work for you. The good news is that the assistant gives you the options and doesn't assume a one-size-fits all.
