2 INSTALLATION AND START-UP This manual contains information and warnings about the analyzer which must be followed to guarantee the proper operation of all instrument functions and to maintain it in a safe condition. The analyzer must not be switched on until it is finally connected to the electrical board.
2.1.6 Operating conditions Operating temperature: -10 ºC / +50ºC Relative humidity: 5 to 95 % RH (without condensation) Altitude: Up to 2000 metres 2.1.7 Safety Designed for category III installations, 300 V ∼ AC (EN 61010). Class II double insulation against electric shock protection. 2.2 Start-up The equipment is mounted on a DIN rail 46277 (EN 50022).

[2 voltage transformers - 3 current transformers] 2 current transformers] 3 OPERATING MODE When power is supplied to the CVM-MINI, the equipment will start its software interface on the screen showing the version of the firmware and its setting.
3.1 Keypad The keypad comprises a total of seven silicon buttons which are used to set the equipment. Some buttons have a rapid access function, i.e. entering the Set Up interface is not required. Only the rapid access key needs to be pressed to run the function.
3.2.2 LED Indicators The CVM-MINI power analyzer is supplied with two LED indicators which give information on the status of: FUNCTION The slow flashing of the LED CPU shows that the equipment has auxiliary power supply and is operative. The rapid flashing of the LED CPU shows that there is an internal problem with the start up software.
4.1.1 Transformation Ratios This menu accesses the voltage and current ratios and the voltage and current primary and secondary may be changed. 4.1.1.1 Voltage primary value The display shows ”set PriU” followed by six digits; these allow the setting of the transformer voltage primary.
When the last digit has been changed, press to move back to the first digit, allowing the previously set values to be changed again. To enter the data and access the next setting step, press s e t p r i a 0 0 0 0 5 Figure 32.
To select one of the two display options (2 or 4 measurement quadrants), press key and the two options will alternate. Once the required option is selected, press the key to enter the data and access the next setting step. s e t s e t q u a d...

4.2 Communication Set-up One or more CVM-MINI instruments may be connected to a computer or PLC in order to automate a production process or an energy control system. As well as the usual operation of each instrument, this system may centralize data at one single point; for this reason the CVM-MINI has an RS-485 communication output.

5 APPENDIX – CVM-MINI-ITF-HAR-RS485-C2 SERIES The CVM-MINI Series has an analyzer for the harmonic content up to the 15 harmonic in voltage and current, showing the content on the LCD display. Therefore, the HAR has a high number of display screens, where the value of the current and voltage fundamental and the content of each harmonic may be seen.
