The placement, commissioning, use, maintenance and servicing of the Xtender cannot be the subject of monitoring by Studer Innotec. For this reasons we assume no responsibility and liability for damage, costs or losses resulting from an installation that does not conform to the instructions, defective functioning or deficient maintenance.

STUDER Innotec Xtender In the event of use in motorised vehicles, the Xtender must be protected from dust, splash water and any other humid condition. It must also be protected from vibration by installing absorbent parts. 2.4.2 Precautions for using the batteries Lead-acid or gel batteries produce a highly explosive gas with normal use.
Page 9
STUDER Innotec Xtender It must not be situated directly above the battery or in a cabinet with it. No easily inflammable material should be placed directly underneath or close to the Xtender. Ventilation apertures must always remain clear and be at least 15cm from any obstacle that may affect the ventilation of the equipment according to fig.
Page 10
STUDER Innotec Xtender 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). It is mandatory that the legislation in force for the application concerned be adhered to.

STUDER Innotec Xtender 3.6.2 Device connection compartment The unit’s connection compartment must remain permanently closed when in operation. It is imperative to close the protection cap on the connection terminals after each intervention in the device. After opening, check that all sources of AC and DC voltage (batteries) have been disconnected or put out of service.

STUDER Innotec Xtender HOICE 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 14
STUDER Innotec Xtender The Xtender can be operated with any earthing system. In all cases it is imperative that the protective earth be connected in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations. The information, notes, recommendations and diagram mentioned in this manual are subject to local installation regulations in every case.

STUDER Innotec Xtender ECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIMENSIONING THE SYSTEM 4.3.1 Dimensioning 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 16
STUDER Innotec Xtender IRING DIAGRAMS The diagrams shown in the appendix of this document are subsidiary. The applicable local installation regulations and standards must be adhered to. The elements referred to with an uppercase letter denote the alternate current (AC) part.
Page 17
STUDER Innotec Xtender The clamps must be carefully fixed and tightened sufficiently to guarantee minimum loss. Insufficient tightening may cause dangerous heating at the connection point. For safety reasons, we recommend an annual check on the tightness of all connections.

If the factory settings are modified, the new values must be entered on the configuration table on p. 41 of this manual. The default values proposed by Studer Innotec are the usual values for lead acid battery or gel batteries (VRLA or AGM).

The communication bus will be used to interconnect other Xtender inverters in the case of a multi- unit application or to connect other types of users who have the proprietary protocol of Studer Innotec. In these cases, the installation must be switched off using the main “ON/OFF” button (1) to connect the units via the communication bus.

STUDER Innotec Xtender ESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN FUNCTIONS 6.2.1 Inverter The Xtender is equipped with a high-performance inverter which supplies a perfect and very precise sine wave. Any unit designed for the 230 V/50 Hz electrical grid may connect to it without any problem, up to the rated power out of your Xtender.
Page 23
STUDER Innotec Xtender When the generator stops, the change from transfer mode to inverter mode normally takes place without any interruption of the output voltage . The interruption will be 40 ms in the event of the immediate loss of input voltage at “AC IN” provided the UPS mode {1435} is not deactivated.
Page 24
STUDER Innotec Xtender case the LED “charge” (4) goes out. The consumers must ensure that they have average consumption that is less than the power of the source (generator or public grid) in order to avoid a complete discharge of the battery. These situations are set out in the figure below.

STUDER Innotec Xtender output to ensure that the battery is charged. Once the charge current decreases by going into “power sharing” mode, the indicator (45) flashes. The limit value of the input current is set by the configuration {1107} and may be adjusted via the RCC-02/03 remote control.
Page 26
STUDER Innotec Xtender 6.2.7 Input current controlled by input voltage When AC sources with variable power are connected to the Xtender's ACin, a particular parameter setting insure a permanent availability of the nominal power at the Xtender's output thanks to the Smartboost function. It's notably the case with "Dynawatt" 230Vac alternator coupled with variable speed traction engines.

STUDER Innotec Xtender These dry contacts are programmed by default for the following functions: Contact no. 1 (AUX 1): The contact has a function of automatic start of generator (two wires). The contact will be activated when the battery voltage is below a value, during a given time fixed by parameters {1247/48}/{1250/51}/{1253/54} The contact will be deactivated or when the charge cycle has reached floating, or when the "Aux.

STUDER Innotec Xtender 6.3.3 Combined system It is possible to combine a three-phase system with one or several phases made up of 2 or 3 Xtenders in parallel. An example of cabling is given at fig. 15. A combination of more than one inverter on only one (or two) phase is also possible. for example, it’s possible to build up one powerful phase for the most single phase consumer and the 2 other...
