Page 3: Introduction
Steca Xtender 1 Introduction Congratulations! You are about to install and use a device from the Xtender range. You have chosen a high-tech device that will play a central role in energy saving for your electrical installation. The Xtender has been designed to work as an inverter / charger with advanced functions, which can be used in a completely modular way and guarantee the faultless functioning of your energy system. -
Page 4: General Information
This manual is an integral part of each inverter/charger from the Xtender series. It covers the following models and accessories: Xtender: XTH 3000-12 – XTH 5000-24 – XTH 6000-48 – XTH 8000-48 Temperature sensor: BTS-01 For greater clarity, the device is referred to in this manual as Xtender, unit or device, when the description of its functioning applies indiscriminately to different Xtender models. -
Page 5: Quality And Warranty
2.3 Quality and warranty During the production and assembly of the Xtender, each unit undergoes several checks and tests. These are carried out with strict adherence to the established procedures. Each Xtender has a serial number allowing complete follow-up on the checks, according to the particular data for each device. -
Page 6: Assembly And Installation
DC voltage coming from the battery as well as the source of AC voltage coming from a generator or network have been disconnected from the electrical installation. Even when the Xtender has been disconnected from the supply sources (AC and DC), a dangerous voltage may remain at the outputs. -
Page 7: Unpacking
3.3 Unpacking When unpacking, check that the equipment has not been damaged during transportation and that all accessories listed below are present. Any fault must be indicated immediately to the product distributor or the contact given at the back of this manual. Check the packaging and the Xtender carefully. -
Page 8: Connections
3.6 Connections 3.6.1 ENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The Xtender falls within protection class I (has a PE connection terminal). It is vital that a protective earth is connected to the AC IN and/or AC OUT PE terminals. An additional protective earth is located between the two fastening screws at the bottom of the unit (fig. 2b-(17)). In all cases, the PE conductor for the equipment must at least be connected to the PE for all equipment in protection class I upstream and downstream of the Xtender (equipotential bonding). -

Page 10: Choice Of System
4.1 Choice of system The Xtender may be used in different system types, each of which must meet the standards and particular requirements associated with the application or site of installation. Only an appropriately qualified installer can advise you effectively on the applicable standards with regard to the various systems and the country concerned. -
Page 11: Earthing System
4.2 Earthing system The Xtender is a protection class I unit, which is intended for cabling in a grid type TT, TN-S or TNC-S. The earthing of the neutral conductor (E) is carried out at a sole installation point, upstream of the RCD circuit breaker (D). The Xtender can be operated with any earthing system. -
Page 12: Recommendations For Dimensioning The System
4.3 Recommendations for dimensioning the system 4.3.1 IMENSIONING THE BATTERY The battery capacity is dimensioned according to the requirements of the user – that is 5 to 10 times its average daily consumption. The discharge depth of the battery will therefore be limited and the service life of the battery will be extended. -
Page 13: Connecting The Battery
4.5 Connecting the battery Lead batteries are usually available in 2 V, 6 V or 12 V block types. In the majority of cases, in order to obtain an operating voltage that is correct for Xtender usage, several batteries must be connected in series or in parallel depending on the circumstances. -
Page 14: Battery - Side Connection
4.5.3 BATTERY SIDE CONNECTION Before connecting the battery, carefully check the voltage and polarity of the battery using a voltmeter. Incorrect polarity or surge voltage may seriously damage the device. Prepare the batteries for connection: appropriate battery clamps, protection device (f), cable in good conditions with correctly fitted clamps. -
Page 15: Earthing The Battery
4.5.4 ARTHING THE BATTERY One of the two battery conductors can be earthed. This may be either the positive or negative pole. In all cases the installation must conform to the local regulations and usage or specific standards associated with the application. In case of earthing, the earthing conductor section must at least be equivalent to the section of the battery conductor. -
Page 16: Connecting The Ac Supply Sources
4.5.6 ONNECTING THE SUPPLY SOURCES The Xtender is intended to be supplied by alternative voltage sources such as the public grid or a generator. Check that the rated voltage of the source corresponds to the rated voltage (34) of the Xtender specified on the type plate (fig. -
Page 17: Energisation Of The Installation
5 Energisation of the installation It is imperative that the closing cap for the connection compartment be installed and screwed tight before the installation is energised. There are dangerous voltages within the interior of the connection compartment. The connection of the Xtender must be carried out in the order given below. Any disassembly must be carried out in the reverse order. -
Page 18: Description And Functioning
6 Description and functioning The Xtender is a sine wave inverter with a battery charger. It has been developed for use as a standalone installation to supply AC voltage (not connected to the grid) or as a continuous supply. 6.1 Circuit diagram 2,2nF 2,2nF 10nF... - Page 19 technical data p. 37). The detection threshold for the absence of loads can be adjusted according to the configuration range {1187} by means of the RCC-02/03 remote control. When the configuration is set to 0 the inverter will still operate even in the absence of any consumer. 6.2.3 RANSFER RELAY The Xtender can be connected to an alternative power source such as a generator or public...
- Page 20 The charge cycle, programmed by default, as shown in the example described in the figure opposite, runs automatically. The line (28) indicates the development of the battery voltage. The lower line (29) indicates the battery current (input and output). The cycle starts with a continuous current charge (a) adjusted by default according to the configuration {1138}.
- Page 21 If the BTS-01 temperature sensor is used, the voltage adjustment thresholds for the battery are corrected in real time by means of the battery temperature. The value of this correction is set by the configuration {1139} in the configuration table p. 35. Much more complex charge profiles or exclusion of the charger can be configured using the RCC-02/03 remote control.

Page 22: Xtender Protection
When this function is activated, the battery can be fully discharged despite the presence of the grid or the generator. The average power consumed by the user must not exceed the power of the source, at the risk of discharging the battery. The smart boost function is deactivated by default. -

Steca Xtender Overheating of the Xtender: Insufficient ventilation, increased ambient temperature or obstructed ventilation may lead to overheating of certain internal components of the unit. In this case, the device will automatically limit its power output as long as this abnormal situation persists. The Xtender is protected by the internal fuse from incorrect polarity (24 V and 28 V versions). -
Page 24: Three - Phase System
Interrupting this connection in a multi-unit system will lead to the stoppage – after 5 seconds – of all the units in the system. Various application examples are described from fig. 12 to fig. 19. It is important to read and adhere to the descriptions associated with each of the figures mentioned above In configurations carrying several Xtenders, each unit is controlled independently using the ON/OFF push button (41). - Page 25 The features of the RCC-02 and the RCC-03 are the same. They only differ in their external appearance. The RCC-02 is designed for wall mounting, whereas the RCC-03 is designed as a tabletop device. The RCC-03 model must be taken off the table to allow access to the SD card slot (during updating, for example).
