STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
− 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 them 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 HP-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.

Introduction
The HP-COMPACT is a sine wave inverter with integrated battery charger with many
additional functions, it has been developed to be used as stand-alone (no grid-
feeding) AC provider, or as continuous / break-free current supply provider (UPS).
2.1 Principle schematic
Notes:
(1) The neutral of the appliance is not connected to the earth whatever the
function mode is. If requested and according to the local regulation, an automatic

connection between Neutral and earth in inverter mode only may be done by
installing a bridge internally to the unit. Please contact your installer regarding this
point.
(2) Remote control for remote adjustment of the input limit. (see chap. 4.6.3)
2.2 Description of the main functions
2.2.1 The inverter
The sine wave inverter HP-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 use a short surge power which is 3 times the
nominal power of the HP-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 makes a robust and reliable inverter with the highest efficiency. A 1-20 Watt
adjustable charge detection system allows the smallest energy consumption and
ensures a long life for the battery.
2.2.2 The transfer system
HP-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 the use of consumer appliances. On the
other side the battery park is being charged. The distribution of energy between the
consumer appliances and battery charger is automatic.
2.2.3 The battery charger
The built-in battery charger is so designed that it can charge the battery quickly and
fully. A microprocessor controlled, Step charging process, ensures the optimal
charging of the battery. The desired charging current can be set continuously from 0
to 70/90/100/110 A, as per the model. The setting is made accordingly to the battery
capacity and power available.
The battery charger is designed for lead-acid and lead-gel batteries. Thanks to the
floating charge system the batteries can remain continuously connected.
2.2.4 Remote control
As an option, a remote control RCC-01 can be connected to HP-COMPACT. All
operating features and displays, save the adjustment levels (22/23/24/26), are
available on the re-mote control. It is supplied with a 20m long cable. This cable can
be up to 40m long. On the remote control, output power and charging current are
also displayed.
2.2.5 Remote control for Power Sharing
This remote control RPS-01 can be connected to the HP-COMPACT in the gland for
the temperature sensor. The maximum current available from the energy source can
be adjusted by the turning button.

2.3 Battery connecting
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
HP-COMPACT many batteries have to be connected together in parallel and or in
series. Here are 3 examples of connection:

Mounting and installing
3.1 Installation place
The location of the HP-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
3.2 Fixing
Basically the HP-COMPACT can be installed in any desired location but only
vertically. First of all the plate supplied along with the HP-COMPACT must be
screwed firmly (due to the weight of the device) on the wall. Then the HP-COMPACT
is hooked on the plate and screwed underneath.
Cautious: the fixing must be fully made otherwise the HP-COMPACT may fall
and cause important damages.
In motor vehicles HP-COMPACT must be fixed on vibrations reducing elements. The
HP-COMPACT must not be fixed on a combustible base, as the back of the casing
can get hot and reach up to 60 degrees Celsius.
3.3 Connections
3.3.1 General instructions on connecting
− The cable connection on the terminals AC INPUT and AC OUTPUT must be
carried out with a screwdriver Nr.3 and the connection of the AUX RELAY
terminal with a screwdriver Nr.2.
− The conductor cross section on the terminals AC INPUT / AC OUTPUT / must
comply with the local rules.
− All connecting cables and also the battery cables must be fixed with strain relief
clamps.
− The fuses supplied with the HPC 4400-24, 6000-48 and 8000-48 have to be
installed (see description in 3.4). The cable cross section for the HP 2800-12,
4400-24, 6000-48 and 8000-48 is resp. 95, 70, 50 and 70 mm2 and their length
must be as short as possible (max. 2m).
− The fuse supplied with the product (save for HPC 2800-12) does not protect the
battery cables.
− To protect the battery cables, 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 controls must be carried out more often.
− Connecting must be done by qualified people. 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 in
force.
3.3.2 Protection cover of the terminals connections
The protection cover must to be closed after any service on the appliance.

3.5 Cabling
Connecting the HP-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 HP-COMPACT must be carried out in the following order. In case
of dismantling this order must be reversed.
3.6 Pre-installation settings
Before you start with the cabling of the HP-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
HP-COMPACT V5.4
11/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
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
3.6.1.1 On the appliance side
Mount the supplied glands on the battery cable before the setting of the cable
terminal. Set the cable terminal and mount the glands on the appliance. Repeat the
process for the second battery cable.
Connect
the
red
cable (+) on the “+
Battery”
connection
appliance
point
according to the plan
below.
Connect the black
cable (-) on the “-
Battery”
connection
appliance
point
according to the plan
above.
The supplied fuse
(except with the HPC
2800-12) must be
mounted according to
the plan below.
3.6.1.2 On the battery side
Caution: before connecting the battery, check carefully the voltage and the
battery polarity with a voltmeter. A polarity reverse will seriously damage the
inverter (for example: connecting a HPC 2800-12 to a 48V-Battery).
Get the batteries ready for connection: suitable terminals, fuse on one of the
connection points, cable in good shape with, if necessary, terminals rightly set. Mount
the red cable on the positive (+) pole, and the black cable on the negative (-) pole of
the battery.
While connecting the second cable, a spark due to the charge of the capacities at the
input stage is normal. In the same time an acoustic signal tells that the control
processor has started. All LED’s of the synoptic light during a short time, then the
synoptic shows that the appliance has stopped. The LED “OFF” (13) must be turned
on.
After the battery connection, the battery state-of-charge LED shows a 100% capacity
during 1 to 2 minutes, the necessary time for the processor to compute again the
current state-of-charge of the battery.
If the LED “Battery Low/High” (12) is lighting, the battery voltage is too low. If it is
blinking, the battery voltage is too high. Caution: a battery voltage too high or
inappropriate can seriously damage the HP-COMPACT. For instance the connection
of a 24 V battery with the HP-COMPACT 2800-12.
If by mistake the HP-COMPACT has been wrongly been connected (reverse battery
polarity) it is likely that the internal protection fuse has melted and has to be replaced.
In that case it is necessary to disconnect all connections to the HP-COMPACT,
HP-COMPACT V5.4
12/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
including the battery. If after the fuse replacement and after re-connection of the
battery with the right polarity, the HP-COMPACT remains out of order, it must be
brought back to your merchant for service.
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 box), “L“ Live.
Caution: High voltages can be there. Make sure that the HP-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, “L“
Live (connected to the appliance case).
3.6.4 Connection to Auxiliary Contact
This contact is a potential free change over contact the currents and voltages allowed
for this contact are max. 16A/250Vac. The LED 5 “Contact active” shows the position
of them: alight mind active and off mind non-active. The schematic view of the
connections on the front, show the relay in the non-active mode.
3.6.5 Connection to Remote control
The Remote Control RCC-01 is connected in the terminal marked „Remote control“
with a 20m long cable and a RJ11/8 connector. The Remote Control can be plugged
IN or plugged OUT during any operation situation. Push in the connector softly until
you hear the „click“ showing that the connector is locked. The same applies to the
plug in the Remote Control.
The length of the cable for Remote Control should not exceed 40m. We deliver it with
20m cable.
3.6.6 Connection to Temperature Sensor (Temp.)
The temperature sensor CT-35 is connected in the terminal marked „Temp“ with a
3m long cable and a RJ11/6 connector. The temperature sensor can be plugged IN
or plugged OUT during any operating situation. Push in the connector softly until you
hear the „click“ showing that the connector is locked. The temperature sensor must
be glued to the wall of the battery or near it. The Temperature Sensor cable must
not be tied together with the battery cables or laid in a rope/bundle.
3.6.7 Connection to the Remote Control for the „Power Sharing“ (RPS-01)
This remote control is connected with a 20m long cable and a RJ11/6 connector in
the connection terminal „F“ (Temp. sensor). It can be connected and disconnected at
any time. Push in the connector softly until you hear the „click“ showing that the
connector is locked. In case the remote control is connected together with the Temp.
sensor, a short cable with a Y-connector will be connected in the terminal „F“ (can be
supply as an option).

4.5 The Inverter
An Inverter is built in the HP-COMPACT, which generates a sinusoidal alternating
voltage of a very high quality. With this Inverter any 230Vac alternating voltage
appliance up to the nominal power of your HP-COMPACT can be operated. Thanks
to the generous dimensioning of the HP-COMPACT, you can operate appliances
requiring higher power than the nominal power of the HP-COMPACT for a short time.
The HP-COMPACT provides up to 3-times the nominal power to start motors.
The Inverter mode is displayed through LED 9 (Inverter). If the Inverter Mode is
disabled (see chap. 5.5) LED 9 will blink. If the LED 9 is lit, the Inverter is in operation
and you have 230Vac at the output AC OUT. The actual power of the connected
appliance is displayed on the power monitor 25 and on the Remote Control.
4.5.1 Charge detection system „Standby“
In order to avoid unnecessary discharge of the battery, the inverter switches OFF
automatically if no appliance is connected and switches ON automatically again if
appliance is connected. The LED 8 blinks if the inverter is in Standby-Mode. The
switching-on/starting level can be adjusted with the turning knob 24 „STANDBY”.
Adjusting the switching-on level is as follows: Switch off all consuming devices, turn
the Turning Knob 24 to the right until the LED 8 is blinking, switch on the smallest
consuming device (i.e. Mobile phone charger), turn the Turning Knob slowly to the
left until LED 8 is lit.
If the Standby-Mode is not wanted, turn the Turning Knob 24 to the left, to the OFF
position.
4.5.2 Overload
If the Inverter is too long or too heavily overloaded, it switches off. The LED 11
„Overload“ is lit and LED 13 „OFF“ blinks. After ca. 10 seconds the Inverter switches
on automatically. If the Inverter is overloaded four times one after another in a short
HP-COMPACT V5.4
16/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
time, then it no longer switches on automatically. The LED 13 remains lit. Press the
push button 19 „ON/OFF“ in order to switch on the Inverter.
4.5.3 Overheating (Over Temp.)
If the Inverter has been overloaded for a long time or it has been working in too high
surrounding temperatures, it will switch off. The LED 10 „Over Temp.“ is lit and the
LED 13 „OFF“ blinks. After cooling down, the inverter switches back on automatically.
One minute before the inverter switches off for too high temperature it gives out an
acoustic alarm signal. If the Auxiliary Contact has been programmed to detect the
high temperature then it synchronizes the relay with the alarm signal. In this way, for
example, an emergency back- up system can be started without any break in the
energy supply.
4.5.4 Battery Condition
Deep discharge of the lead-acid batteries leads to high losses in capacity and early
aging. That is why the battery condition is continuously controlled and supervised.
With low volt-age the inverter switches off. The LED 12 „L/H Batt.“ is lit and the LED
13 „OFF“ blinks. When the battery voltage gets up to 12.1V / 24.2V / 48.4V, the
Inverter switches on automatically. One minute before the Inverter switches off due to
low voltage it gives out an acoustic alarm signal. If the Auxiliary Contact has been
programmed to detect the low voltage then it synchronizes the Aux. Contact with the
alarm signal. In this way, for example, an emergency back up system can be started
without any break in the energy supply.
The low voltage is set to 11.6V / 23.2V / 46.4V. These settings are standard for most
batteries. These voltage levels are maintained by the built-in Battery-Management-
System of the HP-COMPACT by matching the load and the battery condition.
This setting is comparable with the levels of 10.8V/ 21.6V / 43.2 which are given
for most batteries at nominal load.
All voltage levels can be programmed. See the instructions under the section on
Programming. Check with your battery supplier which voltage values should be set.

4.6 The battery charger
4.6.1 Cycle of charge
The full automatic HP-COMPACT Battery Charger is adjusted at the factory so that
most lead-acid and lead-gel batteries can be charged to the maximum. As soon as
the minimum alternating voltage for the AC IN set on the Turning Knob 23 is available
at the input (LED 1 AC IN is lit), the Battery Charger is switched on automatically
(LED 2 CHARGER is lit). The battery is fully automatically charged matching to the
charge level, the adjusted volt-age levels and the charge current. Thanks to the built-
in Float Charge System, the batteries can be left connected for unlimited time with
the Battery Charger switched on.
During the charging phase the appliances at the outlet AC OUT are continually
supplied with power (LED 8 AC OUT is lit).
The charger functions are shown in the following diagram:

These values can be modified by mean of the optional remote control
4.6.3 Equalization charging
Before you program the HP-COMPACT for Equalization-charge you must check with
your supplier that the batteries are suitable for this process.
Equalization is recommended for the lead-acid batteries in order to mix well the
electrolyte fluid and to clean the lead plates.
If the HP-COMPACT is operating with a lead-acid battery, which is suitable for
equalization, the slide switch „Equalize“ which is on the cable connection side, must
be placed in the ON position. In this setting, every 25 charge cycles an equalization is
HP-COMPACT V5.4
18/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
carried out for 20 minutes (factory setting). During such a charge cycle the LED 14 is
lit and during equalizing it is blinking. Charge cycle with equalization can be started
independently from the actual program. For this purpose the slide switch must be slid
from “OFF” to the “ON” position. The LED 14 will light up. If the periodic equalization
is not required, slide switch must be slid back to the „OFF“ position after the
completion of the manual cycle.
The equalizing voltage can be changed. How to proceed is explained in chap. 5.3.
Batteries not designed for equalize should never been charged this way.
CAUTION: During the equalization process, the batteries produce a lot more
gas. DANGER OF AN EXPLOSION !! The battery room must be well ventilated.
Equalization mode should never be used when using Gel-Batteries.
4.6.4 Input current repartition (Power sharing)
To manage the power available on the AC INPUT (depends on the supply use) the
HP-COMPACT is equipped with a system usually called “Power sharing” or INPUT
power distribution. With this function it is possible to limit the AC INPUT current
assigned to the charger. The more current it uses on the OUTPUT the less it gives to
the charger. Priority to the OUTPUT. When the power sharing is used the LED 200%
(red) is lit to point out that the charge is limited.
Caution: if the power use on the OUTPUT is higher than the value of the INPUT
LIMIT (26) the HP-COMPACT cannot limit the current, then the generator means
to stop or the circuit breaker means to break before.
4.6.5 Set the INPUT LIMIT (26)
The current available for the HP-COMPACT
depends on the supply used from a motor
generator, the network of a camping or of a shore
connection. The value of the turning knobs INPUT
LIMIT (26) must be adjusted lower or equal to the
current available from the source.
For example if you have a generator of 2kW you
must adjust the turning knobs 26 to a max. 8.5A. To
calculate this, one divides the nominal power
(2000W) by the voltage (230V). If you have a circuit
breaker (i.e. 6A) before the HP-COMPACT, then
you set this value on the turning knobs (26) (i.e. 6A).
This adjustment can be done remotely with the optional RPS-01 (see section 3.6.7).
In that case the smallest values will be taken into account.
4.6.6 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 POWER MONITOR (25) of the front panel
or on the Remote Control.
4.6.7 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.
Notice: the exact measure of the battery state of charge with electrical parameters is
al-most impossible. The display of the state of charge is always more or less precise.
HP-COMPACT V5.4
19/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
The measure system built in the HP-COMPACT takes into account the battery
voltage, the discharge and charge current as well as the undulation of the voltage. If
the battery and the HP-COMPACT are used according to their technical data, the
battery state of charge is displayed accurately. In the following cases of use the
display can diverge:
− 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 battery
charger
− Discharge of the battery with users not
connected to the HP-COMPACT
− Work with defective or sulphated batteries
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 undulation. As a consequence, the battery voltage at the start of the
absorption stage, measured 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.
The battery charger are described by the graphic in chap. 4.6.1.
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
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 30A (50A for HPC-8000-48). That
means through this system, appliances up to a maximum of al 6900 Watt at 230V
(11500W for HPC 8000-48) 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 generator 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 !
HP-COMPACT V5.4
20/80
STUDER INNOTEC
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
turning knobs (23). From factory this value is 200V. Most appliances can work on this
voltage. When the Input voltages reach the selected value on turning knob, the
inverter switches off and the AC INPUT goes directly on the AC OUTPUT. When the
voltage INPUT is less of 20V the value set, the transfer is stopped and the OUTPUT
switches back on the inverter.
Note : Don’t use the turning knobs “TRANSFER” (23) to adjust the AC OUTPUT
voltage ! This is only it’s only a voltage threshold level to enable or disable the
transfer.
4.7.2 FAST (UPS)- MODE for the Transfer Switch
The quick and break free Transfer mode is programmed with a slide switch „Transfer
De-lay“ OFF, which is on the front side (cable connections side).
The aim of the HP-COMPACT is to supply the appliance with a break-free alternating
volt-age. When the incoming voltage AC IN no longer matches values which have
been set with the Turning Knob 23, the inverter switches on at once. The transfer is
carried out in 0.02 seconds. This quick transfer ensures a break-free function for
most appliances. If you have an alternating voltage back at the input AC IN, transfer
system starts up again with-out any break, and the inverter is stopped.
4.7.3 Delayed mode of the Transfer System
The delayed mode of the transfer system „Transfer Delay ON“ is programmed with
the slide switch on front with the cable connections. The HP-COMPACT provides a
break-free alternating voltage for the appliance. A quick transfer switch is not always
sensitive nor is it always desired. For example, when the appliances are operated by
a small back-up generator. An overload of a short period on such a generator, i.e.
start of a vacuum cleaner etc., has the effect of decreasing the voltage for a short
time. As in such cases the transfer to the Inverter is not desired, the transfer system
can be programmed with a delay. When the slide switch (Transfer delay) is in the
„On“ position, the transfer to the inverter takes place with a delay of 5 seconds. If the
voltage falls below 100Vac, the transfer takes place without delay ! The transfer
switching to the Inverter takes place without any break.
4.8 The Multifunctional Contact
In the HP-COMPACT there is a built-in programmable power relay. The potential-free
change-over contact (NO – NC) of this power relay is connected to the screw
terminal AUX CONTACT.
Maximum Contact load: 230Vac / 12Vdc / 24Vdc / 16A !
> 36Vdc / 3A !
With the Push Button 21 „AUXILIARY CONTACT“ the contact can be manually
switched on or off independently from programming and from the operating situation.
The LED 5 “Contact active” shows the status of the contact. The drawing up the
screw terminal “AUX CONTACT” is the inactive position mode, LED 5 “Contact
active” off.
The switching on and off of this contact can be freely programmed for every
operating situation of the HP-COMPACT witch situation is indicated with a LED.
There is no limitation to its application and it is left to your wishes as to where and
how you would like to use it. The example and the setting of this contact are
explained in chapter 5.4.
In factory we program this for a dysfunction alarm. The contact is active when one of
these situations is detected:
HP-COMPACT V5.4
21/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
− Over temperature (LED 10 lit)
− Overload (LED 11 lit)
− Over or less voltage of batteries (LED 12 lit or blinking)
− HP-COMPACT is turned off manually or with a fault (LED 13 lit)
In case this function is not wished, it must be modified by programming according to
procedure in chap. 5.4.
4.9 The Remote Control RCC-01
As an option, a Remote Control
can be connected to the HP-
COMPACT.
All
operating
controls and displays except
from level adjustment are
available on the Remote
Control. The Remote Control is
supplied with a 20m long cable.
It can as long as 40m. The
Remote Control is suitable for
surface mounting on the wall or
on to a switch board. It is fixed
with
COMPACT
4
screws. The HP-
can also be
programmed with the Remote
Control. The Programming is
described
in
the
section
„Programming“.
The output power and the charging currents are displayed on the Remote Control.
In the Remote Control there is an additional Alarm Contact and a built-in Control
Input. These two functions are available through Tip-jack RJ11/4 for use. This
Auxiliary Contact is Front / Work Contact (max. 0.5A!), which is independent from the
Auxiliary Contact of the HP-
COMPACT. This contact is
active in case of an alarm of the
HP-COMPACT.
The Control Input is connected
in parallel to the ON/OFF- push
button. The HP-COMPACT can
be switched on or off through
this input with an impulse button
or an impulse contact.
Caution: No external voltage
should be connected to this
Input Control.

The compensation through the sensor is –3mV/°C/Cell.
Order Number: CT-35
Dimensions: H x B x T / 58 x 51.5 x 22mm
4.11 Remote control for „Power Sharing“ RPS-01
If the Remote control RPS-01 is installed, the Trimmer
(26) “INPUT LIMIT“ has to be set on the value max..
The HP-COMPACT takes into account the lowest
values set on the inverter and on the Remote control.
The current available at the HP-COMPACT input will be
determined by the power of the connected source
(generator, grid etc...). The potentiometer on the RPS-
01 must be adjusted lower or equal to max. value of the
power source.
For instance if the source is a generator of 2000 Watt, the potentiometer has to be
set at max. 8A. This value is obtained in dividing 2000 Watt by 230V. If the HP-
COMPACT is connected to a power source which is protected by a 6A circuit
breaker, the potentiometer must be set at a max. value of 6A.
Caution: the HP-COMPACT will not limit if an appliance draws more current
than available from the source ! This means that the connected generator will
be over-loaded or that the circuit-breaker before the HP-COMPACT will break.

Programming
The HP-COMPACT (except for 60Hz versions) is equipped with a Flash
processor fitted out with EEPROM Memory, which means that even when it is
disconnected from the battery, the parameters that were programmed for the
application remain after a new connection to the battery.
It is possible to reinitialize (RESET) the HP-COMPACT by pressing
simultaneously on the three push buttons 19/20/21 during at least 2 seconds. A
beep will confirm the RESET. The inverter switches off after this operation. It
can be turned on again after the beep. The programmed parameters will
remain.

5.4 Auxiliary contact
5.4.1 Principle
The Auxiliary Contact can be basically programmed for any operating situation of the
HP-COMPACT which is indicated with a LED. The programming is possible for one
or more operating situations. If the contact is programmed for many situations, it is
activated as soon as the HP-COMPACT finds itself in any one of the programmed
situations. That means that the work of the contact meets that of the logic OR–
Function.
5.4.2 The programming of the Auxiliary Contact
The programming of the Auxiliary Contact is carried out in the following Steps:
− The Push Button 21 (Program) presses down for min. 2 seconds. The LED 4
„Program“ is lit as an indication, that the HP-COMPACT is in program mode.
− A blinking LED shows the programmed condition for the auxiliary contact (LED
10/11/ 12/13 factory setting).
− With the Push Button 20 (select), select the desired condition in which the
contact should be activated.
− With the Push Button 19 (Change status) confirm or change the status for this
condition. If desired, with the Push Button 20 (select) select another condition in
which the contact should be activated.
− With the Push Button 19 (Change status) confirm or change the status for this
condition. If during 30 seconds no buttons are pushed, then the settled values
are automatically stored and the HP-COMPACT switches back to normal
operating condition.
5.4.3 Auxiliary Contact as generator starter
As per the battery capacity
When in the programming of the Auxiliary Contact, the Battery Capacity (LED 15-18)
is used as a condition, you must then take note of the following requirements.
If you have to start an emergency back-up supply with a battery having a certain
residual capacity, then two battery levels must be programmed. The first (i.e. Battery
25% LED 17) for the starting or activating the Auxiliary Contact and the second (i.e.
Battery 100% LED15) for stopping or disabling the Auxiliary Contact. Programmed
HP-COMPACT V5.4
25/80
STUDER INNOTEC
HP-COMPACT
like this the Auxiliary Contact works with the lowest set condition and stops when it
has reached the highest programmed condition through charging.
Example: start of a generator with the HP-COMPACT
In order to program the auxiliary contact to start at 25% and to stop at 75% of the
battery state-of-charge, here is the procedure to follow:
− Press the key AUX. CONTACT (Program) 21 during at least 2 seconds. Then
the states will be displayed blinking (factory settings LED’s 10/11/12/13). As
these states are not wished for the start of the generator, they must be disabled.
− With the key (select) 20, select the LED’s to disable (the active LED’s are
blinking) and disable them with the key 19 Change Status. Select the other
LED’s to switch off with the key (select) 20 and switch them off with the key 19
Change Status until all are disabled.
− Then select the LED 17 with the key (select) 20 and activate the contact with the
key 19 Change Status. The generator will start once the LED 17 switches of.
− Then select the LED 16 with the key (select) 20 and activate the contact with the
key 19 Change Status. The generator will stop once the LED 16 switches on.
− If no key is activated during 30 seconds, the normal operation states are
displayed automatically again.
For a control the key Program can be pressed at least 2 seconds. The values set are
displayed blinking.
As per the inverter output power (not available with some special executions)
Activating the auxiliary contact for the generator start can be programmed also on a
pre-determined output power of the inverter. The auxiliary contact will be activated if
the inverter output power exceeds 80% of the inverter nominal power during 3
minutes and/or 100% during 30 seconds.
The auxiliary contact will remain activated 30 minutes after the input current has
come back to a value lower than the one adjusted by the “INPUT LIMIT” (chap.
4.6.4). In other words, the contact will be deactivated 30 minutes after the lighting out
of the LED 200%.
This programming is achieved accordingly to chap. 5.4.2 of the user manual and by
activating the contact on LED 100% of “Power Monitor” (25).
5.4.4 Power cut of the second priority loads
The auxiliary contact can also be used to cut the power of less priority loads when
the battery state of charge is lower than a given threshold. In that case, only one of
the battery state of charge, or the “transfer” function will be programmed as power cut
criteria.
The second priority loads will be supplied only when the generator is ON or when the
battery has a sufficient threshold.
5.4.5 Manual operating of Auxiliary Contact
The Auxiliary Contact can be operated at any time with the Push Button 21 (AUX.
CONTACT). The LED 6 „Contact manual“ lights up as information that the Contact is
manually operated, and LED 5 „Contact active“ lights up when the Contact is active.
By pushing the Push Button 21 a second time, the Contact is disabled. By pushing it
the third time, automatic functions are restored.

5.5 Disabling some of the HP-COMPACT functions
Each different function charger, inverter and transfer can be disabled. This is useful
for specific applications witch required to disable some of these three functions.
If you press the buttons 19 and 20 more than 2 seconds you can have access to the
different possibilities shown in the following diagram.
In programming mode the display shows only the different types of program with the
three LED’s 2, 7 and 9 to each function. To change the type of programming, press
shortly the button 20 until you reach the right function used according to the table
below. After 10 seconds the HP-COMPACT exits the programming mode and loads
the new change.
In user mode, the disabled functions are displayed by blinking LED. So you can see
which mode is disabled.
