Caution: In normal use lead-acid and lead-gel batteries give out explosive
gases. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of batteries. The
batteries must always be stored or placed in a well ventilated room, they
should be placed in such a way that there is no danger of short-circuit through
carelessness. Never charge frozen batteries.

1.6 Special precautions

− While working on batteries there should always be a second person close to you
or within your voice range, in case help is needed.

STUDER INNOTEC XP-COMPACT

XP-COMPACT V5.4 7/77

− Plenty of fresh water and soap must be ready at hand so that in case of acid
coming in contact with skin, eyes and clothes, the areas in question can be
thoroughly washed.

− If acid enters the eyes, you must thoroughly wash them with cold running water
for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended that you immediately consult a
medical doctor.

− Baking powder neutralizes battery acid electrolyte. Always keep some at hand.

− Special care must be taken when working with metal tools near or on the

batteries. With tools such as screwdrivers, spanners etc. short-circuits can
result. Sparks produced by the short circuit can cause an explosion.

− When working on batteries all personal metal items such as rings, necklaces
and bracelets must be removed. Batteries are so powerful that short-circuit with
these items can melt them and thus cause severe burns. Always follow the
battery manufacturer instructions.

− Under certain conditions XP-COMPACT or a connected generator can start
automatically. While working on an electrical installation you must ensure that
these appliances are disconnected beforehand from the installation.

2 Introduction

The XP-COMPACT is a sine wave inverter with integrated battery charger with many
additional functions, it has been developed to be used as stand-alone (no grid­feeding) AC provider, or as continuous / break-free current supply provider (UPS).

2.1 Principle schematic

Notes:
(1) The neutral of the appliance is not connected to the earth whatever the
function mode is. If requested and according to the local regulation, an automatic

STUDER INNOTEC XP-COMPACT

XP-COMPACT V5.4 8/77

connection between Neutral and earth in inverter mode only may be done by
installing a bridge internally to the unit. Please contact your installer regarding this
point.
(2) Remote control for remote adjustment of the input limit. (see chap. 4.6.3)

2.2 Description of the main functions

2.2.1 The inverter

The sine wave inverter XP-COMPACT generates a sinusoidal AC voltage with an
exceptionally precise voltage and stabilized frequency. In order to start large electric
motors, the user has the possibility to use a short surge power which is 3 times the
nominal power of the XP-COMPACT.
The inverter is protected against overload and short circuit. A power stage with the
latest MOS-FET power transistors, a toroidal transformer, and a fast regulating
system makes a robust and reliable inverter with the highest efficiency. A 1-20 Watt
adjustable charge detection system allows the smallest energy consumption and
ensures a long life for the battery.

2.2.2 The transfer system

XP-COMPACT can be connected to an AC source. For example a stand-by
emergency generator or the AC network. With the transfer system, on one side you
have an alternating voltage at the output for the use of consumer appliances. On the
other side the battery park is being charged. The distribution of energy between the
consumer appliances and battery charger is automatic.

2.2.3 The battery charger

The built-in battery charger is so designed that it can charge the battery quickly and
fully. A microprocessor controlled, Step charging process, ensures the optimal
charging of the battery. The desired charging current can be set continuously from 0
to 20/37/45 A, as per the model. The setting is made accordingly to the battery
capacity and power available.
The battery charger is designed for lead-acid and lead-gel batteries. Thanks to the
floating charge system the batteries can remain continuously connected.

2.2.4 The solar charge controller (optional)

With the built-in solar charge controller, the XP-COMPACT is a complete solar­power-center. In a solar installation this controller ensures that the batteries are
charged correctly. With the XP-COMPACT, batteries can be charged with a
generator and with the solar modules at the same time. The charging of batteries with
both energy sources is carried out fully automatically.

2.2.5 Remote control

As an option, a remote control RCC-01 can be connected to XP-COMPACT. All
operating features and displays, save the adjustment levels (22/23/24/26), are
available on the remote control. It is supplied with a 20m long cable. This cable can
be up to 40m long. On the remote control, output power and charging current are
also displayed.

2.3 Battery connecting

Lead-acid batteries are normally available in blocks of 2V, 6V or 12V. In most cases,
to generate the necessary operating voltage and the capacity of the batteries for the
XP-COMPACT many batteries have to be connected together in parallel and or in
series. Here are 3 examples of connection:

2.3.1 Connection in parallel

2.3.2 Serial connection

2.3.3 Serial and parallel connection

3 Mounting and installing

3.1 Installation place

The location of the XP-COMPACT must be driven by the following criteria:

− Protection from unauthorized handling

− Dry dust free room, no condensation

− Never install directly over the battery and never in a cabinet together with the

batteries

− Keep ventilation holes free

− In mobile installations it is important to keep the vibrations down as low as

possible

3.2 Fixing

3.2.1 Fixing the XP-COMPACT

Basically the XP-COMPACT can be installed in any desired location. Preferred is that
the appliance be wall mounted with battery cables downwards. The XP-COMPACT is
fixed on the wall with four screws through the four holes (diameter 5.5mm) which are
accessible from the outside. In motor vehicles XP-COMPACT must be fixed on
vibrations reducing elements. The XP-COMPACT must not be fixed on a combustible
base, as the back of the casing can get hot and reach up to 80 degree Celsius.

3.2.2 Protection cover IP-23

This cover IP23 (Order ref. CIP-23) can be easily
installed after the fixation of the XP-COMPACT. For that
release a little the too screws down and more the tow up.
Then it’s possible to pass the IP 23 cover between the
XP-COMPACT and the wall. The cover must touch the
screws. Lock on the four screws, it’s ready.

3.3 Connections

3.3.1 General instructions on connecting

− The cable connection on the terminals AC INPUT / AC OUTPUT / 16A 230VAC
are carried out with a screwdriver Nr.1 and the connection on the SOLAR
terminal with a screwdriver Nr.2.

− The conductor cross section on the terminals AC INPUT / AC OUTPUT / 16A
230VAC of the connecting cable must be minimum 2.5mm2.

− All connecting cables and also the mounted battery cables, must be fixed with
strain relief clamps.

− The XP-COMPACT is delivered with battery cables already connected.

− The battery cables must never be extended. If the extension is unavoidable then

the conductor cross section must be elevated accordingly.

− To protect the battery cable, a fuse corresponding to the conductor cross
section must be fixed directly on to the battery.

− All cables must be tightly screwed in place. For safety, a yearly control is
recommended. In mobile installations control must be carried out more often.

− Connecting must be done by qualified personnel. Material such as cable,
connectors and distribution boxes, fuses etc. used in the installation must
comply with the respective valid low-voltage installation rules and regulations.
