4.5 Battery charging function
The charging characteristics are referred to as modified IU0U characteristics.
1: Analysis phase
First, the battery charge is analysed with increasing charge current.
2: I phase (bulk)
At the beginning of the charging process, the flat battery is charged with a
constant current (100% charge current) until the battery voltage reaches
14.4 V or 28.8 V. The charging current decreases when the battery has
reached this charging level.
3, 4: U0 phase (absorption)
Now the two-stage absorption charging process (U0-Phase) begins, where
the charge voltage and duration depend on the size and type of the battery.
Different voltages can be set for phases 3 and 4, which remain constant until
the maximum charging current (6% of the set current) is reached.
Phase 4 ends no later than 8 hours after 13.8 V or 27.6 V is reached.

CombiPower Technical description
47
5: U Phase (floating)
The U phase serves to maintain the battery capacity (100%).
If DC loads are connected, they are powered by the device. Only if the power
required exceeds the capacity of the device is this surplus power provided by
the battery. The battery is then discharged until the device re-enters the I
phase and charges the battery.
6: 14-day conditioning
Every 14 days, the battery charger switches back to phase 2 in order to
revive the battery. This prevents any fatigue symptoms such as sulphation.
4.6 5 A/2.5 A charger (second battery connection)
The device has a connection for a second battery (3-step charger). You can
charge a small battery (such as an automotive battery) using this connection.
The charging voltage is 14.4 V or 28.8 V. The maximum charging current is
5Aor2.5A.
4.7 Inverter function
In inverter mode, the device supplies a regulated 230 V voltage.
The maximum constant output is 2000 W. Do not connect any devices with
a higher power rating. If you connect several devices, make sure their total
power rating does not exceed 2000 W.
INOTE
Note when connecting devices with an electrical drive (such as
power drills, refrigerators and switched-mode power supply), that
they often need more power than is stated on the type plate.
An adjustable energy saving mode protects the battery. It regularly checks
whether battery power needs to be used. If not, the function is deactivated
and no idle current is used.

Switching the device on and off CombiPower
48
4.8 Connections
A battery is connected to the positive and negative terminals. A 230 V power
source can be connected to the “AC INPUT” input (fig. 16, page 3). The
power supply via “AC INPUT” takes precedence over the battery power
supply, so that the battery is not discharged unnecessarily.
Voltage is present at the outputs under the following conditions:
z“INV. AC OUTPUT” (fig. 14, page 3)
– A battery is connected
– A 230 V power source is connected
– A battery and a 230 V power source are connected
(The battery is charged when the consumer devices do not require all
the power)
z“AC OUTPUT” (fig. 15, page 3)
– A 230 V power source is connected
5 Switching the device on and off
INOTE
The main switch (fig. 110, page 3) on the device must be in the
“I” position.
➤Press the “ON/OFF” button (fig. 32, page 4) on the remote control.
✓The device is switched on and the message “System Initialisation …”
appears in the display.
✓After a few seconds, the display shows the message “System startup
please wait…”.
The system status is checked.
✓After 5 to 10 seconds, the display is ready and shows the status of the
device:
– The device is ready for use: the display shows operating parameters.
– Alarm messages are present: undervoltage, overload, fan failure,
overtemperature
– Faults have occurred: undervoltage (UVP), overvoltage (OVP), over-
temperature (OTP), overload (OLP)

6.2 Enabling functions
The device supports the functions described below.
Power sharing function
If the load from the connected consumer devices and the battery charging
current is higher than the connected 230 V power source, the fuse of the
power source would normally blow. In power sharing mode, the device
reduces the battery charging current and thus increases the power available
for connected consumers.
The power sharing level (current at the 230 V input) can be configured using
the remote control. If must be adapted to the fuse of the power source. For
example, if it has a 10 A fuse, the power sharing level must also be 10 A (see
chapter “Limiting the input current at the 230 V input (power sharing level)”
on page 56).
