BASIC INSTRUCTIONS. This manual assists in the installation and use of the QNA-412 supply quality instruments and helps in obtaining the best performance from them. QNA-412 analyzers are especially manufactured to control electrical supply quality. They are manufactured using the latest technology and offer the most advanced performance in electrical parameter measurement and recording for industrial systems on the market today.
• With a broad supply voltage margin: 63 – 520 V AC. • Internal battery. The equipment can continue recording in the absence of power supply voltage. • 4 Mbyte internal memory where all parameters measured by the QNA-412 are stored. • GSM / RS-232 / RS-485 communication. (According to model).
The equipment's internal battery allows it to take measurements in the event of any loss of voltage (interruption or dip). It is guaranteed that the QNA-412 continues operating if there is an interruption in the equipment's power supply.
All these parameters are measured and recorded when the installation is consuming or generating energy. 2.2.- Electrical characteristics. Due to the fact that the QNA-412 is electrical supply quality recording equipment, it must have a high degree of protection under severe electrical conditions: •...
There is also the option to set a hysteresis value for all these thresholds. • The QNA-412 may be installed in both 3 wire and 4 wire systems. All quality measurements will be made with reference to Neutral or between phases depending on the selection.
5.- INSTALLATION AND START-UP. This manual has information and warnings that the user must follow to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and to maintain it in good condition in terms of safety. If the equipment is used in a way not specified by the manufacturer, the equipment's protection may be compromised.
RS-232 RS-485 / GSM Aerial (According to model) The QNA-412 may be installed in either a three phase system with Neutral (4 wire) or without Neutral (3 wire). Measurement only depends on the connection and equipment setting. Earthing is vital to the operation of the QNA-412's protection.

Points to check during installation: 8) Check that the earth has been connected to avoid interference to the equipment. Not attaching the earth reduces the effectiveness of the QNA-412's protection. 9) Check the power measurements and their sign (Check the polarity of the current transformers).

This way the battery life is extended. 7.- OPERATION. 7.1.- Display and buttons. The QNA-412 has a display where the information the QNA is collecting can be displayed using the buttons. The functions of the buttons on the QNA-412 are: −...
QNA is measuring in the three phases will be displayed. Using the different display screens can be browsed. 7.3.- Display screens. The different display screens on the QNA-412 are: Voltage measured in the system. Current measured in the system. Active power.
• Programming Set-up: This will define the QNA-412 analyzer's operating mode. • File setup: This will define the variables that the QNA-412 is to record in its internal memory 8.1.- Programming Set-up for the QNA-412. There is a complete series of parameters that may be set in the analyzer: 8.1.1.- Voltage transformation ratio.
This parameter is necessary for calculating the effective value of the signal in extreme quality systems. • 3 wire / 4 wire: The QNA-412 is designed to operate in installations with Neutral (4 wire) or installations without Neutral (3 wire). For this, the type of connection will be defined.

• Overvoltage hysteresis: An overvoltage hysteresis is to be defined so that the voltage at the start of the overvoltage is not the same as the voltage at the end. Therefore an overvoltage starts when the overvoltage threshold is exceeded and ends when it is below the value defined by difference between the overvoltage threshold and the overvoltage hysteresis.
A typical value is about 15-30 mins. 8.2.- Variables to Record. The QNA-412 stores all quality parameter recordings in its internal memory. Data is stored in three files: Page no.
8.2.1.- Standard File (STD). The Standard File (STD) is used to store all those parameters that are periodically stored. With regard to the recording period preset in the QNA-412, recordings will be made with the following electrical parameters (according to selection): Parameter...
Flicker: • Pst: The QNA-412 records the value of Flicker (Pst) obtained during the recording period. The Plt value is calculated by the PC analysis software. Harmonics: Harmonic Distortion: The QNA-412 will calculate and record the average value of the harmonic distortion for voltage and current that has been detected in the analysed system.
Deleting a file: The time when the user has deleted a file from the internal memory of the QNA-412. If the first piece of information that appears in the EVE file is file deleted, this means that the deleted file was an events file.

11.- MAINTENANCE. The QNA-412 does not require special maintenance. Any adjustment, maintenance or repair to the open equipment is to be avoided. If it cannot be avoided it must be undertaken by someone qualified and well informed of the necessary action.
A. Appendix: Communications with QNA-412 connected to an External modem. One of the most usual configurations for the QNA-412 is for it to be connected with an external modem. Modem A Modem B To connect it and before its definitive start up, it must be remembered that both Modems have to establish the correct form of communication.

B. Appendix: Communications with QNA-412 (RS485). The QNA-412 has the option for RS-485 communication with a PC. This connection is via the R2 port on the QNA. This type of communication is done when the equipment is at a considerable distance (maximum 1200m) from the computer from which readings are to be made.
PC via an ETHERNET system. TCP/IP CONVERTER To set the converter so that it converts the signal to RS-485, use the switch on the converter itself. Check that the cable joining the QNA-412 with the TCP/IP converter respects the Tx/Rx connection. TCP/IP...
The contracted GSM line must be enabled for data transmission!!! In order for the QNA to be able to communicate via the GSM Modem on the QNA-412 GSM/RS-232 it is first necessary to configure the SIM card for the telephone line that is to be used.
