STUDER INNOTEC HP-COMPACT
User manual HP-COMPACT V3.0 E 17
- Battery charge or discharge with too
high currents
- Battery cable cross section too small
- Battery connections badly tightened or
corroded
- Charge of the battery with external bat-
tery charger
- Discharge of the battery with users not
connected to the HP-COMPACT
- Work with defectuous or sulphated bat-
teries
This means that the display can, within few minutes during the charge, commute from 25%
to 75% or during the discharge, to the opposite direction.
As many of the working cases mentioned above often occur, the measure system of the
HP-COMPACT takes into account, during the charge, only the peaks of the voltage undu-
lation. As a consequence, the battery voltage at the start of the absorption stage, meas-
ured by a voltmeter will appear deeper. By decrease of the charge current the voltage will
reach the exact values.
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. 5.3). The correct charging is mandatory for a safe function and a
long-life of the battery.
4.7 The Transfer system
When an AC voltage is at the input AC IN of the HP-COMPACT, the LED 1 AC IN is lit.
When this voltage matches the lowest adjusted value set by the Turning Knob 23 TRANS-
FER, 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 30A (50A for HPC-7048). That means
through this system, appliances up to a maximum of al 6900 Watt at 230V(11500W for
HPC7048) can be operated. When the Battery Charger is working, part of this power is
used for charging according to the power sharing system.
The Transfer system is protected against overload with a circuit breaker on the AC Input
side of the HP-COMPACT. If the system has been overloaded, the button/pin of the fuse
will pop out. To put the automatic safety system back in to operating you must push this
pin back.
Note: in the Inverter operation, The HP-COMPACT generates a true sinusoidal and quartz
stabilized output voltage. However if the HP-COMPACT is supplied from a grid or a gen-
erator and the transfer contact is active, then you have at the output AC OUT the same
voltage as that at the input. This voltage can not be modified by the HP-COMPACT !
4.7.1 Set the transfer voltage threshold
The voltage threshold of the transfer can be adjusted between 150 to 230V with the turn-
ing knobs (23). From factory this value is 200V. Most appliances can work on this voltage.
