  • Page 5: Safety And Warnings

    SAFETY AND WARNINGS 1.1 E-Field Probe Care must be taken when using the PIU with E-Field Probe, to ensure that the Probe does not come into dangerous contact unintentionally with people and equipment. The PIU includes an internal E-Field probe and as such, the external probe is only required where the signal level is too low to determine the phase of the radiated E-Field.

    Part Number: 148-152YAGI 2.2 PIU Shipping Mode Whilst in this mode, the PIU will be unresponsive to any button presses as the battery is disconnected for storage and shipping. When the PIU is connected to either the mains charger or to a charging source via the USB connector, the PIU will automatically come out of the Shipping Mode and will be ready for operation and testing.

  • Page 7: Levels Of Documentation

    Level - Attached to the PIU Unit Figure 1 below, shows the basic operation details of the PIU. A line under the ‘F’ character only indicates a short press of that button, while a line underneath the ‘F’ character and the following character indicates a press of three seconds or more is required.

    The final level of documentation is this manual which is also available as a pdf download from our website – www.haysys.co.uk. 3.4 On-line Training Videos HAYSYS is pleased to provide short videos, showing how to operate the PIU. These videos can be downloaded free from http://support.haysys.co.uk/PIU/PIUHome.aspx (registration required).

  • Page 9: Buttons And Indications

    BUTTONS AND INDICATIONS The PIU unit has been designed so that user interaction is kept to a minimum whilst providing clear phase indication. However, to further aid the user, additional functionality and displays have been provided but this is deliberately kept to a minimum.

    Equally, there is no requirement to install any equipment within the local substation. Figure 4 below, shows the context in which the PIU is used and the various data connectivity the unit uses to achieve this identification.

  • Page 12: Location Of The Remote Reference Unit

    It is recommended that prior to its use, the phase indicated by the PIU is confirmed to be correct by measuring the phase of a known point (this could be within the substation or any other property where the phase is known to be correct).

  • Page 13: Using The Piu

    6.1 Checking the battery charge state Whilst the PIU is in its powered down state, a short press on the F3 button, will cause the unit to display it s battery charge state on the D2 scale for several seconds, before returning to its off state.

  • Page 14: Setting The Piu To Operate With Anti-Clockwise Phase Rotation

    6.6 Setting the PIU to operate with Anti-Clockwise Phase Rotation It may be required that the PIU is to be operated in an area, where the phase rotation is anti- clockwise instead of clockwise. The PIU has the facility to be able to be set for this operation by pressing and holding F3 whilst pressing F1 to power the PIU.

    Outer portion of the Vector Display flashing – indicates that the reference phase has not been set. This is the same as all three vectors displaying in User Mode. The PIU is actually displaying the instantaneous phase of the E-Field probe. F1 will upload this information and may be used to recover the detected phase.

    The reset is operated by pressing and holding down on the top surface of the button for 14 seconds. NOTE: If the Main Processor Reset is operated then the PIU reference will be deleted and will have to be set again before the PIU can be used to identify a phase.

    PIU and its reference for subsequent processing. This information includes the GPS position of the PIU at the time of the F1 button press, along with the date/time. Having access to this information, allows the import to third party software, such as to overlay the identified phase in a Geographical Information System (GIS).

  • Page 26: Charging

    11.1 Charging Voltage and Details The PIU has the capability to be charged via its charging socket or via its USB connector. The unit is supplied with a standard mains charger that provides 12 Volts D.C. via a standard 2.1 mm centre positive charging socket.
