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 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 sec-
ond battery cable. 
 
 
Connect the red cable (+) 
on the “+ Battery” appliance 
connection point according 
to the plan below. 
 
Connect the black cable (-) 
on the “- Battery” appli-
ance connection point 
according to the plan 
above. 
The supplied fuse (except 
with the HPC2512) 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: con-
necting a HPC2512 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 dur-
ing 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 se-
