3 Safety
The connection of the electrical equipment is part of the installation in readi-

ness for operation. Note that the electrical installation and the connection of the
inputs and outputs must be carried out in accordance with the local regulations.
The system must be operated by experienced personnel.
Protective earthing
The protective earth must be connected before the supply cables are connected.
The system must not be operated without a protective earth.
Installation
This system must be installed by qualified specialists. Only VDE-tested and
CE-marked mains cables may be used to connect inverters to the building in-
stallation. This also applies to the connection of the loads. Do not connect any
loads to the inverter, which could overload the unit. Connecting cables should
be kept as short as possible. Connect the system using cables of adequate cross
section. Check the cables for damage to the insulation. Refer to the data sheet
for the rating of the back-up fuse. Pay attention to the polarity of the DC cable
connections. All cables must be fixed to the cable clamp rails and relieved from
stress. Check that all contacts used are securely fitted.
Hazards such as tripping, crushing, pinching etc. must be avoided.
Outbreak of fire
Dangerous voltages are present within the inverter even when fuses have
blown. For this reason, if fire should break out, do not use water to extinguish
the fire. Use sand, carbon dioxide or powder extinguishers.
Personnel training
All personnel must be trained in how to shut down the system in an emergency.
To isolate the unit in an emergency, the main fuse in the mains input and the
battery fuse (battery cabinet or external rack) must be removed. The system
must be operated by trained (experienced) personnel.

3.1 General safety instructions
These operating instructions and the safety instructions contained

therein must be carefully read before the system (also referred to as the
inverter) is installed or put into operation. The operating instructions
must always be kept close to the unit for later reference.
Installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the inverter sys-

tem may only be carried out by qualified and trained specialists.
You must be absolutely sure that L and N and the polarity of the battery
connections are correct, as any incorrect connections will cause damage
to the system.
Make absolutely sure that the battery is not earthed. Neither the plus nor
the minus pole must be earthed (battery floating).
Earth faults on unearthed batteries necessitate a protective device for

each pole.
Units must be fitted in the rack in the following order. The SBS is al-
ways fitted at the extreme right-hand end of the rack, the MBS on the
left next to the SBS, and the inverters must be fitted from left to right.
Even when the inverter is switched off, components within the system
are live as long as the supply network and/or battery and connected.
Live parts are exposed when you open the housing or remove covers;
danger to life if touched! Refit the covers properly on completion of the
work.
BENNING takes no responsibility for consequential damage caused by

work incorrectly carried out on the inverter system.
High fault currents (leakage currents):

A proper earth connection must be ensured before the mains is con-
nected!

This inverter complies with norm EN 55022 Class B

This is a product for commercial and industrial use in the second envi-
ronment. Restrictions regarding the installation or additional measures
may be necessary to prevent interference.
A suitable isolating device must be provided in all supply circuits.
It must be possible to disconnect all poles of the battery supply.
As standard, the inverter system is suitable only for mounting on fire-

resistant surfaces.
Unused module slots must be fitted with a blanking plate. (Part No.
514414)
CAUTION!
The electronic changeover device (SBS) may only be removed from the
rack if the manual bypass switch (MBS) is logged on.
CAUTION!
Initially withdraw modules from the rack by 50 mm (plug discon-
nected). Then wait for at least 10 seconds. Only then remove the units
completely from the rack.
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
13/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
CAUTION!
An inverter system with an SBS (ECD) may only be used on earthed networks.
Once the unit has been installed and commissioned, the earthed mains point or
neutral conductor must not be disconnected. The neutral conductor of the by-
pass supply and the neutral conductor of the load must always be linked in the
inverter system.
In inverter systems without SBS (ECD), the neutral conductor of the inverter
output must be connected to the protective conductor terminal. If an SBS
(ECD) is fitted to such a system retrospectively, this link must be removed and
the requirements for an inverter system with SBS (ECD) apply.
For connecting the INVERTRONIC compact, terminal strips for power con-
nections (mains, load, battery) are provided in the bottom third of the cabinet.
Access to the terminals is obtained by undoing the screws and removing the
front protective covers.
The cables can be routed to the cabinet from all four sides and fed in through
the cabinet bottom. A double floor in the installation area is not absolutely es-
sential. Please refer to the following tables and drawings for information on
where the cables are to be connected and what size they must be in accordance
with DIN VDE 0298.
You must be absolutely sure that the neutral conductor and the phase sequence
of the bypass supply and the polarity of the battery connections are correct, as
any incorrect connections will cause damage to the system.
Be sure to refit the front protective covers when assembly is complete.
A clear inscription, which provides adequate information as to how the

whole installation is to be isolated, must be fitted to every isolating de-
vice.
Be sure to observe all the safety instructions!

3.1.1 Personnel safety

The inverter must be installed in a room with limited access rights (qualified
personnel as defined by the norm EN62040-1-2).
If the isolator for the supply cable is not located in the same room as the
inverters, a warning notice must be attached to the inverters with the in-
scription:
Dangerous voltages are present within the inverters. The unit must only be
opened by qualified personnel.
CAUTION!
Caution: A dangerous voltage is still present on the battery isolator (BCB)

when the inverters are withdrawn.
In order to avoid any accidents, it is essential to follow the instructions below:
• Do not operate the inverter if the temperature and humidity exceed the
specified maximum values.
The inverter must be earthed.
It must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable local regulations.
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
16/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
3.1.2 Product safety

• The electrical supply cable must be protected by a backup fuse, which is
accessible at all times.
• Do not install the inverter in the vicinity of liquids or in an environment
with too high humidity.
• Do not allow liquids or foreign bodies to get into the system.
• Do not cover the air vents of the inverter.
• Do not subject the inverter to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Units must be fitted in the rack in the following order. The ECD is al-
ways fitted at the extreme right-hand end of the rack, the MBS on the left
next to the ECD, and the inverters must be fitted from left to right.
3.1.3 Special safety measures

Be sure to observe the connection instructions in this manual. Check the infor-
mation on the equipment rating label. This must correspond with your electri-
cal supply network and the total power demand of the connected unit.
If the inverter should be put into storage before use, make sure that the storage
location is clean and dry. The storage temperature must be in the range -10°C
to +45°C. The inverter has been designed for normal ambient conditions such
as those stated in Chapter 6.1.5 under installation altitude, operating tempera-
ture and relative humidity, and for the stated transportation and storage condi-
tions.
Although correct operation is guaranteed if the inverter is operated at the limits
of the specified values, the life of some components may be shortened.
Special protective measures must be taken if unusual operating conditions pre-
vail:
• Moisture, steam, saline environment, dripping water or outdoor installa-
tion,
• Explosive mixtures of dust and gas
• Severe temperature fluctuations
• Poor ventilation
• Heat conducted or radiated from other heat sources
• Strong electromagnetic fields
• Radioactivity which exceeds the natural level of radiation
• Fungi, insects, parasites, etc.

3.2 Transport and storage

The inverter must only be transported to the intended location in its original
packaging. The same applies for removals or returns. The unit must only be
transported and stored in an upright position. Make sure that the unit is shipped
in the correct transport position and take the centre of gravity into account. In
the case of inverter systems, slight changes in position can lead to the units
suddenly toppling due to the heavy weight. It must also be ensured that the
units have a firm footing when placed in storage.
The unit is delivered complete from the factory. The unit must always be trans-
ported in an upright position. If the unit is transported with a forklift truck, then
the forks must always be applied from the rear of the unit so that the front door
with its instruments is not damaged.
Figure 2: Transporting with forklift truck and crane
Unpacked units must only be transported in a closed lorry. The units must al-
ways be securely anchored to prevent them from slipping or toppling over. In
particular, it must be ensured that the paintwork is protected against scuffing
and scratching. Lifting belts must be used when transporting the unit in an un-
packed state. These must be positioned so that the instruments and switches on
the front door cannot be damaged.
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
18/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
The information shown in Figure 3 must be observed when transporting the

unit using lifting eyes.
Figure 3: Use of lifting eyes
Lifting eyes must only be used with the protective cover and bolts re-
moved.
When the units have been unloaded on site, they must be inspected immedi-
ately for possible damage. It must also be checked that all parts according to
the packing list are present. In the event of damage, the responsible party must
be identified – if possible – and in all cases a written report must be immedi-
ately sent to the supplier/manufacturer (within 6 working days).
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
19/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
3.2.1 Storage of inverters

The ability of the units to be stored depends on the selected packaging.
Units with short-term packaging should be unpacked immediately on arrival at

the intended location and stored in a suitable place. In doing so, the tempera-
ture must not be allowed to drop too low or condensation allowed to form.
When the units are placed in store, the doors should be opened for a few hours
to allow the units to adapt to the new temperature without the formation of
condensation. If the units are placed into interim storage for an extended pe-
riod, they must be covered with film and inspected for condensation from time
to time.
When units are supplied with long-term packaging, they must be stored in this
packaging. When doing so, the packaging must first be checked for damage.

3.3 Maintenance, service and faults
CAUTION! – Risk of electric shock!
Even when isolated from the mains supply, the inverter is still connected to the
battery circuit and is at a dangerous voltage potential. Therefore, disconnect the
battery circuit and check that the equipment is dead before carrying out service
or maintenance work.
Work may only be carried out on batteries by persons with the appropriate spe-
cialist knowledge of the required safety rules and must be supervised. Unau-
thorised personnel must be kept away from batteries.
The following safety rules must be observed when working on inverters:
• Wristwatches, rings and other metal objects must be removed
• Use only insulated tools
• Inverters must not be dismantled
If you require a system check at regular intervals for safety reasons, e.g. an an-
nual inspection, then please contact us. We will be pleased to submit a quota-
tion for an appropriate contract.

4 Environmental compatibility
BENNING is particularly concerned with the environmental compatibility of
its products and therefore adopts an eco-project engineering approach for the
whole life of the inverters.
4.1 Packaging
Please observe the relevant local regulations for the recycling of packaging.
4.2 Disposing of inverters at the end of their life

We recommend that the relevant local regulations for the disposal and recy-
cling of the components be observed when the life of the inverters has expired.

5 Introduction
This manual provides information on INVERTRONIC compact inverter sys-
tems, their principle of operation and the action to be taken in the event of op-
erational faults. This manual also contains information relating to the transpor-
tation, storage, handling and installation of inverter systems. The planning
guidelines in this manual relate only to the special requirements of inverter sys-
tems. It is essential that the national and local regulations for electrical installa-
tions be followed when installing the equipment.
The content of this manual may change due to advancing technology. We have
endeavoured to make the content correct and clear. If errors should have oc-
curred however, we would be grateful for information to that effect.
We accept no liability for errors in this manual and for consequences resulting
therefrom.
The inverter system (inverter) is designed to protect sensitive electrical equip-

ment against interference, which can occur due to poor current/voltage quality,
or even loss of supply. Sensitive systems require comprehensive protection
against electrical faults.
These can be external faults (e.g. thunderstorms, operational faults) or interfer-
ence from adjacent equipment (e.g. motors, welding systems etc.). Mains faults
can be summarised as follows:
• Fast and slow mains voltage peaks and variations
• Mains failure
• Fast and slow frequency peaks and variations
• Signals or transients superimposed on the supply
The inverter system conditions the mains voltage and ensures a constant output
voltage.
When the inverter is in operation, mains interference is therefore kept away

from operationally critical equipment, and software and hardware cannot be
damaged.

5.1 General principle of operation

The inverter system from the INVERTRONIC compact product family is a
compact AC power supply for widely differing applications in the telecommu-
nications and industrial fields. The different system configurations enable the
system to be matched to the specific requirements.
Depending on the design, the output power of the inverter system can be ex-
panded in 1500VA steps by plugging further inverters into the prepared
equipment racks. The nominal DC input voltage is 110VDC or 220VDC.
System states can be set up and read off on the SBS LCD display. It is possible
to display measured values for the mains supply, the loads and the individual
system components.
With the help of a manual bypass switch (MBS), the inverter system can be
maintained, expanded and repaired without interrupting the supply to the con-
nected loads.
The inverter system is controlled and monitored by digital signal processors

(DSP), which are programmed with appropriate algorithms.
Individual components communicate with one another by means of a CAN-

BUS system (Controller Area Network), which guarantees a high level of im-
munity against interference.

Widely differing systems with regard to power, freedom from interruption and
redundancy can be assembled using the individual components of the inverter
system in a similar way to a building block system.
Only inverters with the same rating, input voltage and output voltage can be
connected in parallel.
Up to 5 inverters can be connected in parallel in an appropriate equipment rack.
Figure 5: Single and parallel operation of maximum 5 inverters in one equipment rack
In the case of simple parallel operation of inverters, the maximum system

power is 22.5 kVA. Here 15 inverters are connected in parallel divided be-
tween 3 equipment racks.

With parallel operation, it is essential to ensure that the equipment racks

are mounted one above the other.
A manual bypass switch is always incorporated in all inverter systems

with an electronic changeover device. This enables the system to be
maintained and repaired without interrupting the supply to the loads.

System description
The INVERTRONIC compact inverter system is a compact AC power supply

for different applications in the telecommunications and industrial fields. The
various system configurations enable the system to be matched to the specific
requirements.
The output power of the inverter system can be extended in 1500 VA steps by
means of further inverter modules (INV). The DC input voltage can be 110VDC
or 220VDC.
The inverter system is controlled and monitored by digital signal processors

(DSP).
Individual components communicate with one another by means of a CAN-

BUS system (Controller Area Network), which guarantees a high level of im-
munity against interference.

7 INVERTRONIC compact system description

7.1 System configurations
Different systems with regard to power, freedom from interruption and redun-
dancy can be assembled using the components of the inverter system.
The simplest systems are single operation (1 inverter) and the parallel opera-
tion of several inverters without electronic changeover device (SBS, ECD).
Only inverters with the same input and output voltage can be connected in par-
allel.
Up to 5 inverters can be connected in parallel in an appropriate equipment rack.

In order to increase the reliability of the supply to the loads, an electronic

changeover device can be incorporated into the inverter system. Three invert-
ers, one electronic changeover device (SBS, ECD) and one manual bypass
switch (MBS) can then be installed in this equipment rack. The maximum
number of inverters is reduced to 13 modules. The maximum system power is
19.5 kVA.
An additional assembly with a manual bypass switch is always incorporated in
all inverter systems with an electronic changeover device. This enables the sys-
tem to be maintained and repaired without interrupting the supply to the loads.
A system configuration with SBS and MBS is recommended as the default
configuration on account of the increased reliability of the extended measuring
and control functions.

7.2 INVERTRONIC compact inverter system components

The system comprises the following main components:
7.2.1 Inverter
Abluft
Exhaust air Zuluft
Vent ilat ion
Figure 25: Inverter module
General - The direct voltage is converted into a single-phase alternating voltage

with constant amplitude and stable frequency in the inverter. A high efficiency
is achieved even in the partial load range using pulse width modulation and
IGBT power transistors. The failure of a component or the power stage does
not lead to an interruption in the supply to the load. The inverter is discon-
nected from the busbar and the load is switched to the mains supply without in-
terruption by means of the electronic changeover device. A fault is indicated at
the same time.
Output - The waveform (sine wave) of the output voltage is controlled by

means of software by a microcontroller (DSP = digital signal processing). This
keeps the distortion factor low, particularly in the case of a non-linear load.
The output is fed via filter circuits and protected by a fuse. In the event of a
short circuit, the short-circuit-proof inverter delivers a short-circuit current of
>250% and switches off and remain off after 4 seconds.
Neutral conductor - The neutral conductor of the inverter output is electrically

isolated from the inverter enclosure.
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
44/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
Frequency control - The inverter output frequency is controlled by a PLL,

which depending on the operating state of the system, guarantees synchronisa-
tion with the internal clock pulse, the mains supply (only when an SBS/ECD is
provided) or parallel inverters.
If the controlling frequency (bypass supply) deviates by more than the adjust-
able value of a minimum of ± 1% and a maximum of ± 5%, the system
switches to the internal clock pulse and then ensures that the frequency remains
constant ± 0.1%.

When connected, all connectors on the back panel are at mains potential.
Dangerously high voltages can also be present on the connectors even
when disconnected due to charged capacitances within the unit.
All ventilation openings must be free in order to achieve adequate cool-

ing.

7.2.2 Electronic changeover device (SBS, ECD, bypass)
Abluf t Zuluft
Exhaust air Vent ilat ion
Figure 26: Electronic changeover device (SBS)
The electronic changeover device (static switch) consists of two static micro-
processor-controlled (DSP) thyristor modules (2 anti parallel thyristors) in the
mains bypass and in the inverter path. If the output voltage deviates from the
set values by an appropriate amount (e.g. in the case of an inverter fault), they
switch the connected loads automatically and without interruption to the bypass
supply. The bypass has an overload capability of 120% for 10 min and 1000%
for 10 ms.
The static switch automatically switches the load back to the inverter when
normal operation is resumed (e.g. after an overload or a short circuit).
In synchronous mode, the changeover from inverter to mains and back again
takes place absolutely without interruption at a zero crossover.
The thyristors are fused in the connection panel.

Figure 30: Manual bypass switch assembly (MBS)
The manual bypass switch assembly is always fitted on the left of the elec-
tronic changeover device in the equipment rack. (See, for example, Figure 7 or
14). The manual bypass switch, electronic changeover device and inverter
modules are covered by a screwed front panel.
The main operating instructions can be found on this panel.
In standard ECD mode (switch position 0), the electronic changeover device
should not be withdrawn from the equipment rack. This would cause the sup-
ply to the loads to be interrupted.

8 Electrical connection
CAUTION!
A dangerously high battery voltage exists inside the unit even when the mains
voltage is switched off! All connection and commissioning work must only be
carried out by a skilled electrician. Before starting work on the system, this
specialist must familiarise himself with the particular features of this inverter
range by reading the manual and the installation instructions. All requirements
for the environmental and operating conditions listed in the technical data must
be adhered to in order to guarantee trouble-free operation of the inverter.
For connecting the INVERTRONIC compact, terminal strips for power con-
nections (bypass, load, battery) are provided in the cabinet. The cables can be
routed to the cabinet from all four sides and fed in through the cabinet bottom.
A double floor in the installation area is not absolutely essential. Please refer to
the following tables and drawings for information on where the cables are to be
connected and what size they must be in accordance with DIN VDE 0298.
Cabling to and from the inverter system must only be laid by qualified
specialist personnel.
It is imperative that the safety instructions in Chapter 3 be observed.
Make absolutely sure that the battery is not earthed. Neither the plus nor
the minus pole must be earthed (battery floating).
Make absolutely sure that L and N and the polarity of the battery con-
nections are correct, as any incorrect connections will cause damage to
the system.
Units must be fitted in the rack in the following order. The SBS is al-
ways fitted at the extreme right-hand end of the rack, the MBS on the
left next to the SBS, and the inverters must be fitted from left to right.
Please first check the configuration level of the inverter system to be in-
stalled. Be sure to pay attention to the enclosed terminal diagrams and,
in case of doubt, compare these with the markings on the connecting
terminals.

8.1 Behaviour under special operating conditions
8.1.1 Overload
The inverter can supply 200% of its rated power for 4 seconds, 120% for 60
seconds and 110% continuously. For higher overload, the system switches to
bypass. If the bypass mains supply is not available, the inverter switches off af-
ter 4 seconds.
(→ red LED illuminates and green LED flashes)
8.1.2 Short circuit on load bar

A short circuit occurring in the downstream load network must be switched off
within max. 10 milliseconds to ensure that the other loads can continue opera-
tion without disruption.
In this case, the inverter system switches immediately to bypass so that the up-
stream load fuse can blow.
If the short circuit occurs during battery operation and if the bypass mains sup-
ply is not available at that time, the output current is limited to 2.5 x rated cur-
rent (standard).
8.1.3 Mains supply not in tolerance
In normal operation, the inverter is synchronised with the mains supply. As
soon as the mains frequency goes outside the tolerance range (standard ±5 %),
the inverter switches to the internal clock pulse. The return to normal operation
is initiated by the control system.
8.1.4 System faults

Inverter
If a fault occurs in the inverter, the system switches to bypass without any in-
terruption.
Battery
If the battery voltage becomes too low, the inverters switch off and the loads
are fed from the bypass supply.
8.1.5 Fan failure

In the event of a fan failure, the inverter provides its output voltage until the
overtemperature trip level is reached. After this, the system switches to bypass
without interruption.

Check the installed cable cross sections when upgrading the inverter
system. The cable cross sections must be changed to suit the upgrade.
Earth faults on unearthed batteries necessitate a protective device for

each pole.
The earth connection must be made first in accordance with VDE DIN. There
is no need to follow a particular installation sequence.
8.3 Bus connection

For reliable and fault-free operation of the inverter systems, the CAN-Bus must
be "terminated" on the back panel cards. This is achieved by fitting jumpers in
defined positions.
Complete systems are fully configured in the factory for the cus-
tomer's specific requirements. The bus connection is only required
when re-configuring or replacing an equipment rack.

CAUTION!
Have all the inverters and the electronic changeover device been set up
for the same voltage and frequency?
Have all device settings been made and checked?
• If a manual bypass switch (MBS) has been installed as a separate

assembly, move the switch to Position 1. The manual bypass switch
must always be fitted directly on the left of the electronic change-
over device (SBS).
• Slot the electronic changeover device into the extreme right-hand
position of the appropriate equipment rack. The front panel must be
flush with the frame of the equipment rack.
• Slot the inverters into the equipment rack. The order and positions
can be chosen at will. The front panel must be flush with the frame
of the equipment rack.
• Cover all free slots with a blanking plate.
• Screw all units and blanking plates to the equipment rack.
All the electrical connections are automatically made when the units are slotted
into the equipment rack.
It is imperative that the safety instructions in Chapter 3 be observed.
The upstream isolators must be opened in order to isolate the inverter

system from the supply sources (to make it completely dead).
If an emergency stop or EPO circuit is to be implemented, these circuits

must be additionally installed externally. Approved isolating devices
must then galvanically isolate all AC and DC inputs (AC supply and
battery inputs).

9 Configuring the inverter system
CAUTION!
The safety instructions must be observed at all times during installation,
connection and commissioning.
When the inverter system has been assembled, connected and commissioned,
all the components are fully ready for operation. No additional settings or ad-
justments are necessary during operation under any operating conditions.
When choosing a location for the inverter system, it must be ensured that the
floor is firm and level. The inverter system is designed for use in closed and
dry rooms. The maximum permissible ambient temperature is 40°C (see Tech-
nical Data). During installation, it must be ensured that the inverter system is
not exposed to aggressive substances and the passage of cooling air is not
hampered.
CAUTION!
Any changes to settings must only be made by trained and qualified
personnel. The modified inverter system settings must be available at
all times. Only then is it possible to obtain an overview of the current
system configurations. This simplifies the specific replacement of
components and fault diagnosis.
All inverter system components are set up in the factory to the values and oper-
ating modes specified by the user or to default values. No changes to the set-
tings are necessary for correct operation.
If, however, system configurations are changed or new systems are configured
from individual components, or components are replaced or added, some set-
tings and functions must be checked.
Equipment racks
The types of equipment rack may vary depending on the required system con-
figuration. In order for the CAN-Bus system to work without any problems, the
cable ends of the CAN-Bus system must be fitted with a termination resis-
tor/jumper on each equipment rack in accordance with a defined scheme. In
addition, the equipment racks must be suitably connected by means of data ca-
bles.
These measures are only required in the event of a completely new inverter
system design. As this is only rarely undertaken by the user, it will not be de-
scribed in more detail.

Electronic changeover device configuration (SBS)
Every electronic changeover device is set up in the factory to the values speci-
fied by the user or to default values. The values set can be seen from the con-
figuration data sheet and the equipment marking.
• System voltage; permissible voltage tolerance
• Frequency, permissible frequency tolerance
• Operating mode "Inverter priority" or "Mains priority"
Inverters
Every inverter is set up in the factory to the values specified by the user or to
default values. In the case of an inverter system without electronic changeover
device, these values cannot be changed. The values set can be seen from the
configuration data sheet and the equipment marking.
• Output voltage
• Frequency
• Switching thresholds for the input voltage monitoring
Changing these values using the display and operating menu of the electronic
changeover device is described in more detail in chapter 6.
These settings should be checked and changed if necessary before fitting the
units.

Static bypass | Status"
The current operating mode and SBS priority type is indicated by a tick against
the appropriate item.
"Static bypass | Nominal value settings"
The nominal values of system voltage, frequency and priority type that are cur-
rently set by means of the display are shown here.
The system voltage can be switched between 220V, 230V and 240V or 110V,
115V and 120V from this point on the menu. Nominal values can also be
changed. Voltage ranges apply to the inverter type being used at the time.
CAUTION!
Changing the nominal values causes all the units to be RESET.
The nominal values may under no circumstances be changed
while the unit is running. If necessary, this should only be done
when the inverter system is commissioned.
"Static bypass | Software version"
The current version number and part number of the software for the DSP con-
troller are shown here.
"Static bypass | Status codes"
"Static bypass | Fault delay"
Every possible alarm can be individually allowed, suppressed or delayed. The

maximum delay time that can be set is 32767 seconds.
"Other "adr" | Fault"
All faults associated with the CAN-Bus node with the address "Adr" that occur
are entered in a fault list. Every alarm in this list can be selected and in some
cases the fault is described in more detail. If the indicated fault is no longer ac-
tive, the fault can be deleted from the fault list by acknowledging the fault text;
otherwise the alarm recurs.

9.1.4 The "System set-up" menu

Apart from the changes to the display mode, all changes to the system settings
are protected by the user password.
"Mains voltage tolerance"
The permissible mains voltage tolerance is set by default to ±10%. It can be ad-
justed between ±5% and ±15% in 1% steps.
"Frequency tolerance"
The permissible frequency tolerance is set by default to ±3%. It can be adjusted

between ±1% and ±5% in 0.5% steps.
"Switching thresholds (U1-U4)"
Each of the four switching thresholds can be adjusted individually in 0.1V

steps. The permissible range of values for the nominal voltages 110VDC and
220VDC can be seen in chapter 6.1.1 and 6.1.2.
CAUTION!
Inappropriate settings, particularly if the switch-on threshold U2
is set too low, can cause unstable operation.

Manual bypass switch
A manual bypass switch can be logged on and logged off in this menu. This is
necessary if a manual bypass switch is fitted retrospectively or replaced.
"Operation without mains"
This function is inactive in the default set-up. If, however, maintenance has to
be carried out on the mains supply, for example, and the resulting alarm has to
be suppressed, this function must be activated.
"Change password"
The user password should be changed from time to time for security reasons. In
particular, the password set in the factory must be changed when the inverter
system is commissioned for the first time.
"Date/Time"
The time format, time of day and date can be set from this point in the menu.
"Display"
This menu item allows the menu language, contrast and type of display illumi-
nation to be changed. German, English, French and Russian languages can be
set as standard. Other languages can be programmed specifically for the cus-
tomer.
If the illumination is set to "auto off", the display illumination will switch itself
off automatically after two minutes.
9.1.5 Entering and changing the user password

The user password is set to "1000" in the factory. For security reasons, it is
important to change this password after commissioning the inverter. To do this,
go to
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
79/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
"System set-up | Change password"
in the menu. The following will appear in the display:
First enter the password "1000" and confirm this. In the next screen, enter the
new password. This can lie between "0001" and "9999". If "0000" is entered,
there is no password protection at user level.
CAUTION!
If you should forget this new password, it can only be deleted
and a new password specified via the service portal. The user is
not usually able to access this service portal.
The user password must be entered for many of the changes to the system set-
tings. This is always carried out in the same way using the appropriate input
screen. When the password has been confirmed, you will be in "Service mode".
This is indicated by a rotating key symbol in the top right-hand part of the dis-
play.
While you are in service mode, all modifiable system settings can be changed
without having to enter the password every time. Exit service mode by switch-
ing to the main window (inverter system schematic diagram). This occurs
automatically after 2 minutes if no key is pressed during this time.

11 Re-configuring the system

A standardised installation procedure is shown based on the following configu-
ration. This helps to understand complex parameters. The chosen settings pro-
vide a safe initial installation.
Please first check the configuration level of the inverter system to be in-
stalled. Be sure to pay attention to the enclosed terminal diagrams and,
in case of doubt, compare these with the markings on the connecting
terminals.

11.2 Replacing an inverter module

Units can be replaced while the system is running without the supply to the
loads being interrupted.
Note:
CAUTION!
Take care when removing inverter modules from the equipment
rack.
CAUTION!
Initially withdraw modules from the rack by 50 mm (plug dis-
connected). Then wait for at least 10 seconds. Only then remove
the units completely from the rack.
Unused module slots must be fitted with a blanking plate. (Part

No. 514414)
Procedure:
• Undo the fixing screws
• Withdraw the inverter from the equipment rack from the front
(If the inverters remaining in the system are unable to take over the
load, the SBS switches the mains supply, if available, through to the
loads. Otherwise, the power drawn by the loads will be reduced).
• Slide the new inverter into the free slot. The front plate must be flush
with the equipment rack.
(The inverter will start up and will be incorporated in the parallel op-
eration of the other units. If the mains has taken over the supply of
the loads, the loads will be switched back to the inverter.)
• Tighten the fixing screws

13 Maintenance and service

All components of the inverter system have been designed for continuous op-
eration and are practically maintenance free.
In order to ensure trouble-free operation, we recommend that the air inlet and
air outlet be checked at regular intervals (e.g. monthly), and cleaned if re-
quired, e.g. by vacuuming the grids and, if necessary, replacing the filter mats.
CAUTION!
The inverter system may only be maintained and repaired by
trained and qualified personnel.
The earthed mains point or neutral conductor must not be dis-

connected at any time. Be sure to observe the safety instructions.
When carrying out a service (unit replacement, work on the mains supply or
DC supply etc.), check carefully whether and in which way the manual bypass
switch has to be operated.
Do not use compressed air under any circumstances, as dust particles

may get into the inside of the inverter system and cause faults.
13.1 Manual bypass switch
CAUTION!
Incorrect operation of the manual bypass switch (MBS) may
cause the supply to the loads to be interrupted.
The MBS is only needed for service purposes. By means of this switch, the
mains ("Mains bypass") or the inverter outputs ("Inverter bypass") are switched
directly to the loads without interruption by bypassing the electronic change-
over device (SBS).
Position 0: ECD mode
Position 1: Mains bypass
Position 2: Inverter bypass
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
94/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
Two different cases must be considered when operating the MBS.
Case 1: The SBS is operating correctly
The SBS display shows a correctly working inverter system.
The LED (Running/Ready) illuminates.
In this operating state, the MBS can optionally be switched to Position 1 or Po-
sition 2 depending on the service work to be carried out.
Example: The system is working with inverter priority and the mains bypass is
selected.
• Switch the MBS to Position 1
 The SBS switches from inverter operation to mains operation

without interruption. The mains bypass is closed and the mainte-
nance work, e.g. replacement of inverters, can be carried out.
If the MBS is switched to inverter bypass (Pos 2) and the inverter system is
working with inverter priority, the SBS will not switch over and the other MBS
switch will be shown flashing.
When the service work is complete, if the inverter system is working properly4,
the MBS is switched back to Position 0.
4
It can be assumed that the inverter system is working properly if the changeover contact in
the SBS symbol has switched to the path to which the bypass has been switched; i.e. to the in-
verter symbol in the case of inverter bypass and to the mains symbol in the case of mains by-
pass.
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
95/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
Case 2: The SBS indicates a fault
In this operating state, it is necessary to differentiate between two further cases:
• The inverter system is operating in inverter mode

• The inverter system is operating in mains mode
An SBS fault is indicated by the red LED (Fault), by the flashing SBS symbol
in the display and by the voltage-free signal from the SBS.
Before operating the MBS, it must be established without doubt whether

the inverter system is operating in inverter mode or in mains mode.
CAUTION!
In the case of inverter operation, only switch position 2 must
be selected (inverter bypass); in the case of mains operation,
only switch position 1 (mains bypass).
Otherwise the supply will be interrupted.
When the service work is complete (e.g. replacement of the SBS), if the in-
verter system is working properly5, the MBS is switched back to Position 0.
13.2 Terminals and plug-and-socket connectors

Check the terminals and the plugs and sockets and retighten if necessary.
When doing so, check that the contact surfaces of the plugs and sockets are
clean, that they are not subject to stress and that they are properly engaged.
13.3 Contactors, relays

Check that contactors operate easily by pushing them in by hand. (Remove the
arc chutes first if necessary).
5
It can be assumed that the inverter system is working properly if the changeover contact in
the SBS symbol has switched to the path to which the bypass has been switched; i.e. to the in-
verter symbol in the case of inverter bypass and to the mains symbol in the case of mains by-
pass.
20.11.09 - TB-/Kle
96/101 4600 en
INVERTRONIC compact
If necessary, remove any foreign bodies that have found their way into the con-
tactor by removing the contactors concerned.
Check the condition of the contacts: Remove signs of burning (welding spatter)
with a suitable file. Do not use emery paper or sandpaper for this purpose.
Contactors
Check for traces of soot on the contactor. If soot is present, the contacts must
be checked for burning. In the event of severe burning or burning on one side,
the contactor must be changed.
Never grease the contacts.
Contacts with dark tarnishing do not affect the operation.
