2.3 Safety precautions when handling batteries

WARNING!

!

!

A

z Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery

fluid coming into contact with your body. If your skin does come
into contact with battery fluid, wash the part of your body in
question thoroughly with water.

CAUTION!

z Do not smoke and ensure that no sparks can arise in the vicinity

of the engine or battery.

NOTICE!

z Only use rechargeable batteries.
z Make sure the polarity is correct when connecting the battery:

– Red terminal – positive battery terminal
– Black terminal – negative battery terminal

z Prevent any metal parts from falling on the battery. This can

cause sparks or short-circuit the battery and other electrical
parts.

z Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer and those of

the manufacturer of the system or vehicle in which the battery is
used.

z Never attempt to charge frozen batteries.
z If you need to remove the battery, first disconnect the earth

connection. Disconnect all connections and all consumers from
the battery before removing it.

Intended use CombiPower

3 Intended use

Sine wave inverters with integrated automatic chargers are designed to
convert 12 V or 24 V DC voltage to 230 V AC voltage with a frequency of
50 Hz, as well as to charge the following batteries:

z Lead automotive batteries
z Lead gel batteries
z Maintenance-free batteries
z Absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries

Never use the devices to charge other battery types (such as NiCd or NiMH).

WARNING!
Do not use the device to power medical equipment.

!
!

WARNING! Danger of explosions

Do not charge batteries with a cell short circuit. The oxyhydrogen

CombiPower Technical description

4 Technical description

4.1 General description

The sine wave inverter with integrated automatic charger is a combination of
two devices:

z Battery charger
z Sine wave inverter

The device can be used as follows:

z As an automatic charger (6-stage charging characteristic)
z As a sine wave inverter: the device produces a pure 230 V output voltage
z Power sharing: the device powers a connected load with 230 V and simul-

taneously charges a battery

z Generator function (mains voltage function): the device supports a 230 V

mains voltage by supplementing it with energy from a battery (common
power source)

z Power support (PSF): the device supports a 230 V mains voltage with

energy from a battery by powering some of the loads from the battery and
the others from the 230 V mains supply (separate power sources)

z Uninterruptible power supply (UPS): the device powers connected loads

from a battery when the mains supply fails

The device has the following protective systems:

z DC low voltage shutdown
z DC overvoltage shutdown
z Overheating protection
z Overload protection

The device is operated using a remote control.

1: Analysis phase

First, the battery charge is analysed with increasing charge current.

2: I phase (bulk)

At the beginning of the charging process, the flat battery is charged with a
constant current (100% charge current) until the battery voltage reaches

14.4 V or 28.8 V. The charging current decreases when the battery has
reached this charging level.

3, 4: U0 phase (absorption)

Now the two-stage absorption charging process (U0-Phase) begins, where
the charge voltage and duration depend on the size and type of the battery.
Different voltages can be set for phases 3 and 4, which remain constant until
the maximum charging current (6% of the set current) is reached.

Phase 4 ends no later than 8 hours after 13.8 V or 27.6 V is reached.

46

EN

CombiPower Technical description

5: U Phase (floating)

The U phase serves to maintain the battery capacity (100%).

If DC loads are connected, they are powered by the device. Only if the power
required exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by
the battery. The battery is then discharged until the device re-enters the I
phase and charges the battery.

6: 14-day conditioning

Every 14 days, the battery charger switches back to phase 2 in order to
revive the battery. This prevents any fatigue symptoms such as sulphation.

4.6 5 A/2.5 A charger (second battery connection)

The device has a connection for a second battery (3-step charger). You can
charge a small battery (such as an automotive battery) using this connection.

The charging voltage is 14.4 V or 28.8 V. The maximum charging current is
5A or 2.5A.

4.7 Inverter function

In inverter mode, the device supplies a regulated 230 V voltage.

The maximum constant output is 2000 W. Do not connect any devices with
a higher power rating. If you connect several devices, make sure their total
power rating does not exceed 2000 W.

NOTE

Note when connecting devices with an electrical drive (such as

whether battery power needs to be used. If not, the function is deactivated
and no idle current is used.

Switching the device on and off CombiPower

4.8 Connections

A battery is connected to the positive and negative terminals. A 230 V power
source can be connected to the “AC INPUT” input (fig. 1 6, page 3). The
power supply via “AC INPUT” takes precedence over the battery power
supply, so that the battery is not discharged unnecessarily.

Voltage is present at the outputs under the following conditions:
z “INV. AC OUTPUT” (fig. 1 4, page 3)

– A battery is connected
– A 230 V power source is connected
– A battery and a 230 V power source are connected

(The battery is charged when the consumer devices do not require all
the power)

6.2 Enabling functions

The device supports the functions described below.

Power sharing function

If the load from the connected consumer devices and the battery charging
current is higher than the connected 230 V power source, the fuse of the
power source would normally blow. In power sharing mode, the device
reduces the battery charging current and thus increases the power available
for connected consumers.

The power sharing level (current at the 230 V input) can be configured using
the remote control. If must be adapted to the fuse of the power source. For
example, if it has a 10 A fuse, the power sharing level must also be 10 A (see
chapter “Limiting the input current at the 230 V input (power sharing level)”
on page 56).

function.

If the load current is greater than the fuse of the connected 230 V power
source, the fuse would normally blow. The generator function enables the
device to provide additional power, which it takes from the battery.

If the required power falls below the power sharing level (see chapter “Limit­ing the input current at the 230 V input (power sharing level)” on page 56),
the device recharges the battery.

In generator mode, the 230 V power source and the battery act as a common
power source.

Configuring the device with the remote control CombiPower

Power support function

If the generator function is not permitted by the standards in your country
because the device operates in parallel to the 230 V mains, you can use the
support function. The “AC OUTPUT” and “INV. AC OUTPUT” outputs are
electrically isolated from each other.

The 230 V power source provides voltage at “AC OUTPUT” while the battery
supplies “INV. AC OUTPUT”.

If the devices connected to “INV. AC OUTPUT” require more current than the
battery can deliver, they are switched off. If the devices connected to “AC
OUTPUT” require more current than the set power sharing level (see chapter
“Limiting the input current at the 230 V input (power sharing level)” on
page 56; it must correspond to the fuse rating of the 230 V power source),
the fuse of the 230 V power source blows. For example, if the power supply
at a camp site has a 10 A fuse but the consumer devices required 16 A, the
camp site fuse blows.

You can use this function, for example, to continue running your air
conditioning system if the 230 V power supply fails.
