1.5 Precautions

This manual must be readily available for the user at all times. The user must be familiar with the
precautions and safety aspects.
During operation of XP-COMPACT, high voltages are generated at the connections and inside of
the appliance which could be deadly fatal. Work on the appliance and on the installation should
only be carried out by qualified and trained personnel.
The whole installation connected with the XP-COMPACT must comply with the respective valid
codes and ordinances.
Persons without the written authorization from STUDER INNOTEC are strictly forbidden to carry
out any changes or repairs on the appliances. For authorized changes only original parts are to be
used.
The XP-COMPACT may only be used when it has been installed in accordance with these instruc­tions and all parts have been correctly assembled and installed.
On the IN- and OUTPUT points of the XP-COMPACT only the already selected energy sources
and consumer appliances should be connected.
In order to carry out any maintenance or repair work on the XP-COMPACT without danger, all
connections must be disconnected beforehand.

Caution: Even when a XP-COMPACT has been disconnected from the all connections, at the

OUTPUT point there could still be deadly fatal voltages present. To remove these voltages
you must switch the XP-COMPACT ON with the ON/OFF switch. After one minute the elec-

tronics are discharged and any work can now be safely carried out.

The XP-COMPACT is only suitable for internal use and under no circumstances should it be sub­jected to snow, rain, or any other wet conditions
By installations in motorized vehicles the XP-COMPACT must be protected from water-spray and
any other wet conditions..
The XP-COMPACT may only be connected to lead –acid or lead-gel batteries.

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 area, they should be placed in such a way that there is no danger of short circuit­ing through carelessness. Never charge frozen batteries.

The XP-COMPACT is not to be used or sold for life support equipment or applications.

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.
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 the eyes 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’s instructions.
Under certain conditions the 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.

XP-COMPACT

2 Introduction

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

2.2 Description of main functions

2.2.1 The inverter

The sinewave inverter built in the 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 employ a short-start-power which is 3-times the nominal power of the XP­COMPACT.
The inverter is protected against overload and short-circuits. A power stage with the latest MOS­FET power transistors, a toroidal transformer and a fast regulating system make-up a robust and
reliable inverter with highest efficiency. A 1-20 Watt adjustable charge detection system serves to
provide 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 use by the connected consumer appliances. On the other side the batteries are 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, 3 to 4 Step charging process ensures the optimum charging of the batteries.
The desired charging current can be set continuously from 0 to maximum, according with particular

User manual XP-COMPACT V2.0 E 5

STUDER INNOTEC

XP-COMPACT

technical specification (chap.6). The battery charger is meant for the lead-acid and lead-gel batter­ies. Thanks to the floating charge system the battery 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 solar-power-center. In a
solar installation this controller ensures that the batteries are charged correctly. With the XP­COMPACT, 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 can be connected to XP-COMPACT. Extra display and program­ming possibilities are available on the remote control (see Chap.5). The remote control is supplied
with a 20m long cable. This cable can go to 40m long. On the remote control output power and
charging current are also monitored.

2.3 Battery connections

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. Following three examples are
shown:
