Safety instructions 1.1.3 Note Make sure that the operating voltage is correct! ® Prior to insulation and voltage tests, the ISOMETER must be disconnected from the power system for the duration of these tests. In order to check the proper connection of the device, it is recommended to carry out a functional test.
Safety instructions 1.3 Directions for installation Only one insulation monitoring device may be used in each intercon- nected IT system. When insulation or voltage tests are to be carried out, the device shall be isolated from the system for the test period. The terminals and KE have to be connected by a separate wire to the protective conductor (PE).

4. Installation and connection 4.1 Installation of the isoPV In order to ensure compliance with prescribed temperature limit val- ues, install the isoPV and AGH-PV with a distance of at least 30 mm to all adjacent devices! The cable length of the connecting cables between the AGH-PV and isoPV must not exceed 0.5 m.

Operation and setting 5.2 Menu structure and menu mode How to access the menu mode Press the "MENU" button to switch from the standard mode to the menu mode and to the main menu. From here you can branch to the different submenus. 5.2.1 Navigation within the menu Use the Up and Down buttons to select the appropriate menu item.
Operation and setting 5.3 Menu HISTORY INFO 99 events with date and time stamp can be stored in the memory database. The da- tabase is designed as a ring memory, i.e. the eldest entry is overwritten. Data is writ- ten into a non-volatile memory and therefore is protected against voltage failure. To store the events with the actual date and time stamp, you need to set the real-time clock in the ISO ADVANCED menu first.
Operation and setting 5.4 Menu ISO SETUP: Setting of the basic ISOMETER functions This menu is used to set the alarm functions Alarm1 and Alarm2 (prewarning and alarm), the operating principle of the alarm relay K1 and K2 (N.O = N/O operation, N.C = N/C operation), the fault storage behaviour and a se- lection of two current output ranges.

Operation and setting alarm relay switches and the LED flashes in the event of (the an alarm message at approx. 0.5 Hz) During the automatic self test, the alarm relays are not switched over. When a device error occurs at the ISOMETER, the relay K2 will auto- matically be activated as a device error relay.

Take care that the bus ad- dress is not assigned twice. The device is factory set to address 3 and hence operates as a slave. If several isoPVs are operated on one BMS bus, the addresses of other ®...
Operation and setting 5.7 PASSWORD menu 5.7.1 Setting and activating the password This menu can be used to activate a "Password" query. This protects the ® ISOMETER against unauthorised settings and modifications. Set the desired password using the UP/DOWN buttons (menu item "2. Password: xxx") and confirm the setting with the ENTER button.
5.8.2 Language diagram 5.9 SERVICE menu This menu item is intended for the Bender service personnel and protected by a password against erroneous settings. It is intended for fast fault clearance by qual- ified experts in the event of a device error.
6. Serial interface 6.1 RS-485 interface with BMS protocol The RS-485 interface electrically isolated from the device electronics and the cur- rent output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS protocol. If sev- eral isoPV or other bus-capable devices are interconnected in a network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω...
