COMPACT
During operation of COMPACT, high tensions 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 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 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 COMPACT only the already selected energy sources and
consumer devices should be connected.
In order to carry out any maintenance or repair work on the COMPACT without danger, all
connections must be disconnected beforehand.
Caution: Even when a COMPACT has been disconnected from the all connections, at the
OUTPUT point there could still be deadly fatal tensions present. To remove these tensions
you must switch on the COMPACT ON with the ON/OFF switch. After one minute the
electronics are discharged and any work can now be safely carried out.
The 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 COMPACT must be protected from water-spray and any
other wet conditions.
The 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 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 instructions.
Under certain conditions 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.

COMPACT
2 Introduction
The COMPACT is a sine wave inverter with integrated battery charger and solar charger controller
with many additional functions, it has been developed to be used as stand-alone (independent of a
grid-system) AC provider, or as continuous / break-free current supply provider.

2.2 Description of main functions
2.2.1 The Inverter
The sine wave inverter built in the 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
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 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
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 devices. On the other side the batteries are charged.
The distribution of energy between the consumer devices and battery charger is automatic.
2.2.3 The Battery charger
The built-in battery charger is so arranged that it can charge the batteries quick very completely. 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 – 55A (C 4000-48: 0 - 50A).
The battery charger is meant for the 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 COMPACT is a complete solar-power-center. In a solar
installation this controller ensures that the batteries are charged correctly. With the 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 can be connected to COMPACT. All operating elements and
displays with the exception of the level adjustment are available on the remote control. The remote
control is furnished with a 20m long cable. This cable can go to 40m long. On the remote control
output power and charging current are also shown.
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 COMPACT many
batteries have to be connected together in parallel and or in series. Following three examples are
shown:

3 Assembly
3.1 Place of assembly
The location of the COMPACT must be chosen 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. The ventilation of COMPACT is designed in such a way that it can only
work efficiently when the appliance is fully laying on its back.
In mobile installation it is important to keep the vibrations down to as low as possible.
3.2 Fixing
3.2.1 Compact
Basically the COMPACT can be installed in any desired location. Preferred is that the appliance be
wall mounted with battery cables downwards. The 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
COMPACT must be fixed on vibrations reducing elements. The 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 IP23
This cover IP23 (Order ref. CIP-23) can be easily installed after
the fixation of the COMPACT. For that’s release a little the too
screws down and more the tow up. Then it’s possible to pass the
IP 23 cover between the COMPACT and the wall. The cover must
touch the screws. Lock on the four screws, it’s ready.
3.3 Connection
3.3.1 General instructions on connecting
The cable connection on the terminals AC INPUT / AC OUTPUT / 15A 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 / 15A 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 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.
