STUDER INNOTEC XP-COMPACT

3 Mounting and installing

3.1Installation 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

3.2Fixing

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.

3.3Connections

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.
