Warning!
- Carefully read the manual before the installation or use.
- This equipment is to be installed by qualified personnel, complying to current
standards, to avoid damages or safety hazards.
- Before any maintenance operation on the device, remove all the voltages from
measuring and supply inputs and short-circuit the CT input terminals.
- Products illustrated herein are subject to alteration and changes without prior notice.
- Technical data and descriptions in the documentation are accurate, to the best of our
knowledge, but no liabilities for errors, omissions or contingencies arising there from
are accepted.
- A circuit breaker must be included in the electrical installation of the building. It must
be installed close by the equipment and within easy reach of the operator. It must be
marked as the disconnecting device of the equipment: IEC /EN 61010-1 § 6.11.2.1.
- Clean the instrument with a soft dry cloth; do not use abrasives, liquid detergents or

Page 7: Rapid Ct Set-Up
Rapid CT set-up – When the CT value is not known and only used at the moment of the installation, the P.01 parameter for CT primary can remain set at OFF while all the others can be programmed. – In this case, during the system installation and once the controller is powered up, the display will show a flashing CT (Current Transformer). By pressing ▲ ▼ the CT primary can be set directly. - Page 8 Parameter table (continued) P01 – VThe value of the primary current transformer. Example: with CT 800/5 set 800. If set to OFF, after the power-up the device will prompt you to set the CT and allow direct access to this parameter. P.02 - Value of the secondary of the current transformers.
