ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION. Studer Innotec XTH 6000-48, XTH 5000-24, XTH 8000-48

STUDER Innotec Xtender

Never try to charge frozen batteries.

When working with the batteries, a second person must be present in order to lend assistance in the event of problems.

Sufficient fresh water and soap must be kept to hand to allow adequate and immediate washing of the skin or eyes affected by accidental contact with the acid.

In the event of accidental contact of the eyes with acid, they must be washed carefully with cold water for 15 minutes. Then immediately consult a doctor.

Battery acid can be neutralised with baking soda. A sufficient quantity of baking soda must be available for this purpose.

Particular care is required when working close to the batteries with metal tools. Tools such as screwdrivers, open-ended spanners, etc. may cause short-circuits. Consequently occurring sparks may cause the battery to explode.

When working with the batteries, all metal jewellery such as rings, bracelet watches, earrings, etc., must be taken off. The current output by the batteries during a short-circuit is sufficiently powerful to melt the metal and cause severe burns.

In all cases, the instructions of the battery manufacturer must be followed carefully.

Assembly and installation

3.1

Handling and moving

The weight of the Xtender is between 35 and 50kg depending upon the model. Use an appropriate lifting method as well as help from a third party when installing the equipment.

3.2

Storage

The equipment must be stored in a dry environment at an ambient temperature of between

-20°C and 60°C. It stay in the location where it is to be used a minimum of 24 hours before being set up.

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.

Standard accessories:

Installation and operating instructions, c.f. Appendix 1

Mounting plate – fig. 2a (18)

2 conduit glands for the battery cable

3.4

Installation site

The installation site for the Xtender is of particular importance and must satisfy the following criteria:

Protected from any unauthorised person.

Protected from water and dust and in a place with no condensation.

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. 2b.

In mobile applications it is important to select an installation site that ensures as low a vibration level as possible.

Fastening

Xtender

The Xtender is a heavy unit and must be mounted to a wall designed to bear such a load.

A simple wooden panel is insufficient.

The Xtender must be installed vertically with sufficient space around it to guarantee adequate ventilation of the device (see figs. 2a and 2b).

If the Xtender is installed in a closed cabinet this must have sufficient ventilation to guarantee an ambient temperature that conforms to the operation of the Xtender.

Firstly, fit the mounting bracket (18) supplied with the device, using 2 Ø <6-8 mm> screws**.

Then hang the Xtender on the bracket. Fasten the unit permanently using 2 Ø <6-8 mm> screws** on to the two notches located at the underside of the case.

**: These items are not delivered with the device.

It is imperative to ensure complete and safe fastening of the device. A device that is simply hung may detach and cause severe damage.

In motor vehicles or when the support may be subject to strong vibrations, the Xtender must be mounted on anti-vibration supports.

3.6

Connections

3.6.1 G 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). It is imperative that the legislation in force for the application concerned be adhered to.

Tighten of the input (13) and output (14) terminals by means of a no. 3 screwdriver and those for the

“REMOTE ON/OFF” (7) and “AUX.CONTAC” (8) by means of a no. 1 screwdriver.

The cable sections of these terminals must conform to local regulations.

All connection cables as well as the battery cables must be mounted using cable restraints in order to avoid any traction on the connection.

Battery cables must also be as short as possible and the section must conform with the applicable regulations and standards. Sufficiently tighten the clamps on the “battery” inputs (fig. 4a (11) and

(12)).

3.6.2 D EVICE 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.
