3 Mounting and installing
3.1 Installation 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
3.2 Fixing
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.
3.3 Connections
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.
