Cabling

Connecting the COMPACT is a very important step of the installation. You must take
care that all connection work is carried out in a clean and correct way and that under
no circumstance a cable is connected to a wrong terminal.
Connecting of the COMPACT must be carried out in the following order. In case of
dismantling this order must be reversed.

Pre-installation settings

Before you start with the cabling of the COMPACT you must set the type of battery.
In case sealed-gel batteries are used then you must set the small slide-switch
„Equalize" which is on the front with the connection terminals, in OFF position. In
case of „normal" lead-acid – batteries, these can handle a higher equalizing charge,
the same slide switch can be set in ON position. In case of doubt leave the setting in
OFF position.
This will allow an equalizing cycle (higher end of charge voltage) during the next
charge process. Since then equalizing will occur every 25 usual cycles.
3.6.1 Connection to battery
Get the batteries ready for connection: Matching battery terminals, matching fuse on
a clamp. Prepare battery cables, if necessary press on cable tabs/shoes. Connect
red cable on Plus (+)-Pole and the black cable on the Minus (-) Pole. On connecting
the second cable to the battery pole a spark is produced, because for a short time
high current flows in the COMPACT to charge the capacitors. For this reason follow
strictly the safety measures described in this manual. Check if the red LED OFF (13)
is lit. If it is not lit, press shortly on the switch ON/OFF (19), now OFF should be lit.
On connecting the battery the COMPACT needs 1 – 2 Minutes to calculate the actual
capacity of the battery. During this time the battery condition is shown as 100%
charged. (LED 14 – 17 lit).
If the LED 12 Battery Low/High is lit, the battery charge is too low. If the LED 12
Battery Low/High is blinking, the battery charge is too high.
Caution: With a wrong battery voltage the COMPACT can be destroyed. (for
example: connecting a C 1600-12 to a 48V-Battery).
Nevertheless, if the COMPACT had been connected with reverse polarity, it is highly
probable that the fuse inside the casing is defect. Before opening the casing cover all
terminals must be disconnected including the battery. If the COMPACT does not
function after the changing of the fuse and correcting of the polarity, it means that it is
defect and must be sent for repair.
3.6.2 Connection to the 230Vac-consumer appliances (AC OUTPUT)
The 230V consumer appliances must be connected to the terminals AC OUTPUT
with cables which cross section has to follow the local rules in force (usually
2.5mm2). Connections are marked as follows "N" Neutral, "PE" Earth (connected to
the appliance case), "L" Live.
Caution: High voltages can be there. Make sure that the COMPACT is turned off
(LED 13 lighting) before the connection.
3.6.3 Connection to the 230Vac Input (AC INPUT)
The 230V-supply from network or from a generator must be connected to the input
terminals AC INPUT with cables which cross section depends on the power source
(usually 2.5mm2). Connections are marked as follows: "N" Neutral, "PE" Earth
(connected to the appliance case), "L" Live.
