2.2.4 The solar charge controller (optional)
With the built-in solar charge controller, the COMPACT is a complete solar-power-center. In a solar
installation this controller ensures that the batteries are charged correctly. With the COMPACT,
batteries can be charged with a generator and with the solar modules at the same time. The
charging of batteries with both energy sources is carried out fully automatically.
2.2.5 Remote
control
As an option, a remote control can be connected to COMPACT. All operating elements and
displays with the exception of the level adjustment are available on the remote control. The remote
control is furnished with a 20m long cable. This cable can go to 40m long. On the remote control
output power and charging current are also shown.
2.3 Battery
connections
Lead-acid batteries are normally available in blocks of 2V, 6V or 12V. In most cases, to generate
the necessary operating voltage and the capacity of the batteries for the COMPACT many
batteries have to be connected together in parallel and or in series. Following three examples are
