Safety instructions 2.3.1 Personnel Only appropriately qualified personnel may work on the ISOMETER®. Qualified means familiar with the installation, commissioning and operation of the product and with training appropriate to the work. Personnel must have read and understood the safety section and warning information in this operating manual.
Safety instructions 2.4 Directions for installation Only one insulation monitoring device may be used in each interconnected 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 con- ductor (PE).

Function 3.3 Application ® The ISOMETER type isoPV in combination with the AGH-PV coupling device monitors the insulation resistance of IT systems. It is suitable for universal use in 3(N) AC, AC/DC and DC systems. AC systems may include extensive DC-supplied loads, such as conver- ters or thyristor-controlled DC drives.
The fault memory behaviour can also be set in the "ISO SETUP“ menu, by selecting the submenu Memory: on/off. measurement method (Adaptive Measuring Pulse), a measurement method developed by Bender (European Patent: EP 0 654 673 B1). 3.4.1...

Function 3.4.4 Real-time clock The real-time clock serves as a time base for the memory and self test functions. First, the correct time and date must be set in the "ISO ADVANCED" menu. If time and date are not set, a "C" (clock) is flashing in the standard display. In the event of a supply vol- tage failure, time and date will be stored for at least 30 days.

5. Installation and connection Risk of electrocution due to electric shock! Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of: • Electrocution due to an electric shock DANGER • Damage to the electrical installation • Destruction of the device Before installing and connecting the device, make sure that the installation has been de-energised.
Installation and connection Check proper connection! Prior to commissioning of the installation, check that the device has been properly connected and check the device functions. Perform a functional test using an earth fault via a suitable resistance. Prevent measurement errors! When the AC system being monitored contains galvanically coupled DC circuits, take into consideration that: an insulation fault can only be detected correctly when the rectifier valves carry a minimum current of >...
Installation and connection 5.2 Wiring diagram The terminals A1/+ and A2/- are to be connected to the supply voltage according to IEC 60364-4-43, that means, the connections are to be protected against short-circuit by means of a protective device (a 6 A fuse is recommended). For UL and CSA applications, the use of 5 A fuses is mandatory.

Operation and setting 6.2 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. 6.2.1 Navigation within the menu Use the Up and Down buttons to select the appropriate menu item.
Operation and setting 6.3 Menu HISTORY INFO 99 events with date and time stamp can be stored in the memory database. The data- base is designed as a ring memory, i.e. the eldest entry is overwritten. Data is written 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 6.4 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 selection of two current output ranges.
Operation and setting 6.4.2 Operating principle of the alarm relays K1/K2 are factory-set to N.O Test, that means N/O operation. When the supplement "Test" has been selected, the alarm relays switch over during a manual self test. If the operating principle of the alarm relays does not have to be changed during a ma- nual self test for any reason, N.C or N.O.

Operation and setting 6.5.5 Setting the real-time clock (Clock) The time setting is the time base for the memory and the automatic self test. In case of supply voltage failure, the set real-time clock keeps running for approximately 30 days. When the device is switched on after this period, a flashing "C"...
Operation and setting 6.6 Menu COM SETUP: Setting the BMS interface 6.6.1 Bus address "Addr:" This menu is used to set the BMS bus address for isoPV. Take care that the bus address is not assigned twice. The device is factory set to address 3 and hence operates as a slave. Please note that the capacitance cannot be measured when using the profiles AMP3 or AMP4.
Operation and setting 6.7 PASSWORD menu 6.7.1 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.
Language diagram 6.9 SERVICE menu This menu item is intended for the Bender service personnel and protected by a pass- word against erroneous settings. It is intended for fast fault clearance by qualified ex- perts in the event of a device error.
Serial interface 7. Serial interface 7.1 RS-485 interface with BMS protocol The RS-485 interface electrically isolated from the device electronics and the current output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS protocol.

Serial interface 7.3 BMS protocol This protocol is an essential part of the Bender measuring device interface (BMS bus protocol). Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters. Interface data are: • Baud rate: 9,600 baud • Transmission: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit (1, 7, E, 1) •...
Serial interface 7.3.2 BMS slave All isoPV devices are factory-set to slave mode (address 3). In a BMS network, one address must be selected from the address range 2…30 for each slave. There may be no gaps of more than five subsequent addresses, so that all slaves can be scanned by the master.
Serial interface 7.3.3 Commissioning of an RS-485 network with BMS protocol • Connect the terminals A and B of all bus devices in one line • Switch the terminating resistors on at the beginning and end of the RS-485 net- work or if there are devices which do not include a terminating switch at the end of the bus, place a 120 Ω...
