Each system consists of a Measuring Head, a Metering Unit, and multi-conductor cables. The LKAT Plus Metering Unit consists of a power supply pc board and Main pc board mounted together on a steel U-chassis. Input, output, and power connections are made from outside the enclosure using panel-mount IP65 rated military-style circular connectors.
Installation, Operation and Service Manual LKAT Plus EMC • Extended Warranty For permanently installed systems, the standard 2-year warranty can be extended in 2-year increments. This must be ordered less than 6 months after the original LKAT system is shipped.
• The Display pc board assembly. One or both of these pc board assemblies may be added to an LKAT Plus Metering Unit in the field. It is not mandatory that they be factory installed and/or calibrated. The optional pc board assemblies may be calibrated on site, using the LKAT Plus Main Output as the reference measurement.
LKAT Plus System. Refer to “Maintenance and Spare Parts” section for more information. INTERCONNECTION CABLE DETAIL The LKAT Plus system is supplied with two cable assemblies in addition to those connected to the Measuring Head. The power input cable assembly is 33 feet (10m) in length. A keyed circular connector terminates one end for connection to the Metering Electronics.

4. INSTALLATION HANDLING PRECAUTIONS LKAT Plus systems should be handled with the same care as any precision measuring instrument. Severe jolts or bumps to the Measuring Head or Metering Unit may cause movement of internal parts, and possibly a malfunction. Personnel involved in the installation should be familiar with the technical terms, warnings, and instructions in this manual, and all plant safety rules, and be able to follow these.
After unpacking the LKAT Plus system (but prior to installation) the following functional check of the system is recommended: 1. Locate a convenient temporary power source for the LKAT Plus system. This may or may not be in the location where the system will be installed. The power source must be in the range 85 to 264Vac @ 47 to 440Hz, or 110 to 264Vdc for Standard AC/DC input power, or +24Vdc for Special Order +24Vdc input power.
Measuring Head. The following tools and materials may be required for installation: Materials marked with an asterisk ( * ) are included with each LKAT Plus System order. 34” (864mm) Releasable Cable Ties * Silicone RTV adhesive / sealant * 1/8”...
5. Connect Measuring Head cable assemblies to the Metering Unit. 6. Refer to the LKAT Plus System Wiring Diagram. The output cable assembly consists of #20 (20 AWG) twisted pair cable (8 pairs) with 17 (one contact position in output connector is unused) position circular connector on one end, and stripped, tinned wires on the other end.

The term “open-path” indicates that the sensor is an air-core design, without magnetic core material. The LKAT Plus system operation is based on Ampere’s Law, which states: “the line integral of B (magnetic flux density) around any closed path is equal to µ...
PCB (OPTIONAL) Display PCB (Optional) Figure 5.1 Block Diagram of the LKAT Plus System SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The flux density associated with the primary current is sensed by arrays of Hall ICs in the Measuring Head. The outputs of these devices are summed and filtered, then transmitted to the Metering Unit where these signals are dc biased and scaled.
LKAT PLUS MEASURING HEAD INTERCHANGEABILITY DO NOT connect a LKAT² Measuring Head to an LKAT Plus Metering Unit – the LKAT² Head will not function properly, but not be damaged. LKAT Plus Measuring Heads of various sizes will operate properly when connected to the LKAT Plus Metering Unit.
Laboratory Accreditation Bureau "Guidance for Documenting and Implementing ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and Laboratory Guidance." As a guideline, DynAmp recommends a 24-month interval of calibration for all permanently installed products and a 12-month interval of calibration for all products used in portable applications.
Generally, system calibration compares the output of the device under test (“DUT”) to a reference. The best calibration method is to return LKAT Plus Systems to the factory for calibration on a test bus in a very controlled environment with extremely stable and accurately measured current.

The Optional PE and/or RMS Display pc board assemblies may be added, configured and calibrated in the field. In this case, the Main pc board assembly output signal is used as the reference output signal with the LKAT Plus System measuring normal bus current.
The LKAT Plus is supplied with factory configured trip setpoints configured as specified in the LKAT Plus Worksheet at the time of order. If the trip setpoints are reconfigured in the field, the customer must realize that the trip setpoints shown on the LKAT Plus Metering Unit nameplate will no longer be correct.
Earth Ground. 5.11 CONFIGURING THE LOW PASS FILTER The LKAT Plus System includes a two pole configurable low pass filter. This filter may be enabled without affecting the scaling of the output in the pass band. The frequency response of the LKAT Plus without the low pass filter activated is shown in Figure 3.1.
(present on optional PE PCB assembly) are failsafe only. Table 5.3 shows the status of the LKAT Plus alarm relay contacts. The alarm relay contact condition is shown as it exists at the customer connections to the Metering Unit.
As is true with any electronic system, proper maintenance will tend to prolong the service life. DynAmp, LLC recommends the following program be performed at the recommended interval to prevent or detect damage to the LKAT Plus System and to ensure reliable performance. Always use appropriate measures to correct any problems found. Following the suggested maintenance schedule may assist in early diagnosis of problem(s) to minimize repairs and down time.
Some cable assemblies for the LKAT Plus System include circular connectors. Others use solder cup connectors assembled with adhesive-lined shrink tubing covering the connector shell.
