1.- BASIC INSTRUCTIONS 1.1.- Delivery spot check This manual is issued to help all the CVM-BDM users to install and use it in order to get the best from it. After receiving the unit please check the following points: (a) Does this device corresponds to your order specifications? (b) Check if any damage was done during the shipment process.
Before power supplying the instrument, read the CONNECTIONS and SETUP sections and choose the most suitable operation mode for getting your desired data. The CVM-BDM is an instrument which measures, calculates, displays and memorizes all the main electrical parameters at any electrical network (balanced or not).

The procedure is the same one done at the previous sections with the "max", "min" and "display" keys. If the CVM-BDM is directly connected to the mains (without voltage transformer) the values of primary and secondary must be the same, for instance 000001/001.
CVM-BDM supply network analyzer ----- -------- --- Page Nº 5.4.- Network specifications 5.4.1.- Rated voltage The message "SET n" is on screen, together with three digits to set the rated voltage of the monitored power system. Whether the voltage measurement is carried out through the secondary of voltage transformers, then the rated voltage of the transformer secondary must be set.
"display" keys. For the calculation of the average, maximum and minimum voltage and frequency values, the CVM-BDM obtains one value every second. These values equal the average of the values calculated within the time window set by the user (time constant). If the time value is 1 second, then the viewed value equals the...
This option allows to program until 45 optional parameters that you can see on 15 programmable pages (3 parameters every page). The CVM-BDM asks first if you want to program the default parameters. "max" key : you can select YES or NO. The “display” key allows the validation of the selected option.
