the OUTPUT less it’s give to the charger. Priority to the OUTPUT.
When the power sharing is used the LED 200% (red) is lit to point
out that’s the charge is limited.
Caution: If the power use on the OUTPUT is higher than the value
of the INPUT LIMIT (26) the COMPACT limits the current, then the
generator means to stop or the circuit breaker before means to
break.
In option, a remote control (RPS-01, 20m cable) allows the Power
Sharing far from the COMPACT.
4.6.3.1 Set the INPUT LIMIT (26)
The current available for the COMPACT depend of the supply used
i.e. motor generator, network limit in a camping or shore
connections… The value of the turning knobs INPUT LIMIT (26)
must by adjust lower or equal of the current available from the
source.
For example if you have a generator of 2kW you must adjust the
turning knobs 26 to approximately 8.5A. For calculate this, we
divide the nominal power (2000W) by the voltage (230V). If you
have a circuit breaker (i.e. 6A) before the COMPACT, then you set
this value on the turning knobs (26) (i.e. 6A).
4.6.4 Charging current
The maximum charging current for the battery can be adjusted with the Turning Knob 22
(CHARGER). The charging current of the battery should be set to approximately 10 – 20% of the
battery capacity (at C10). This means that the charging current for a battery with 300Ah should be
set between 30 – 60A.
The charging current is displayed on CURRENT MONITOR (25) of the front panel or on the
Remote Control.
4.6.5 Battery Condition
Built-in microprocessor with a specially developed
algorithm calculates the actual state of charge of the
battery and displays it on LED 15 – 18. The LED 14 is
lit when the system is carrying out a charge cycle with
equalization.
For safety reasons, you must get the recommended
charge voltage and charge currents from your battery
supplier. The voltage levels and charge characteristics
can be changed through Programming. The instruction
for programming of battery charger is in the section
„Programming“ (Chap. 5.1.2). The correct charging is
indispensable for a safe function and long-life of the
battery.
4.7 The Transfer system
When an ac voltage is at the input AC IN of the COMPACT, the LED 1 AC IN is lit. When this
voltage matches the lowest adjusted value set by the Turning Knob 23 TRANSFER, and the
frequency is between 44Hz and 65Hz, this voltage is switched directly to the battery charger and to
the output AC OUT. The LED 7 TRANSFER is lit. The inverter is switched off and the battery
charger switched on. This process is automatic, unless the charger mode or the transfer mode is
disabled (see Chap. 5.5)
The maximum current of the Transfer switch is 16A. That means through this system, consuming
devices up to a maximum of al 3700 Watt can be operated. When the Battery Charger is working,
part of this power is used for the charging according with the power sharing system.
