2. Safety instructions 2.1 General safety instructions Part of the device documentation in addition to this manual is the enclosed "Safety instructions for Bender products". 2.2 Work activities on electrical installations Only skilled persons are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a de- vice or system.
Safety instructions 2.3 Intended use The ISOMETER® monitors the insulation resistance R (R mode) or the insula- tion impedance Z (Z mode) of unearthed AC/DC main circuits (IT systems) with nominal system voltages of 3(N)AC, AC, AC/DC or DC 0 … 440 V. DC com- ponents existing in 3(N)AC, AC/DC systems do not influence the operating characteristics, when a minimum load current of DC 10 mA flows.
RS-485 (galvanically isolated) including the following protocols: – BMS interface (Bender measuring device interface) for data exchange with other Bender components – Modbus RTU – IsoData (for continuous data output) Password protection to prevent unauthorised parameter changes ...
Function 3.2 Functional description The ISOMETER® measures the insulation resistance R and the system leakage capacitance C between the system to be monitored (L1/+, L2/-) and earth (PE). Z mode (selectable in the "SEt" menu) calculates the insulation imped- ance Z from R and C with a system frequency parameter f...
Function "K2" according to the alarm assignment set in the "out" menu. In addition, the operation of the relay (n.o./n.c.) can be set and the fault memory "M" activat- If the values R or U do not exceed their release value (response value plus hysteresis) for the period t without interruption, the alarm relays will switch back to their initial position and the alarm LEDs "AL1"/"AL2"...
Function 3.2.2 Monitoring of the insulation impedance (Z mode) The parameters "Z1" and "Z2" for monitoring the insulation impedance Z available in the "AL" response value menu only when Z mode is activated. The value Z1 must be set higher than value Z2. The insulation impedance Z the selected system frequency f (50 Hz or 60 Hz in the "SEt"...
Function 3.2.4 Self test/error codes The integrated self-test function checks the function of the insulation moni- toring device and the connection monitoring checks the connections to the system to be monitored. The alarm relays are not switched during the self test. This can be changed using the parameter "test"...

Function The maximum permissible system leakage capacitance is exceeded Action: E.07 Device not suitable for the existing leakage capacitance: uninstall device. Calibration error during the device test Action: E.08 If the error continues to exist after checking the device con- nections, there is an error inside the device.
LEDs "ON"/"AL1"/ "AL2" will flash. If the error occurs again after restarting the device or after a reset to factory settings, then contact Bender Service. 3.2.6 Assignment of the alarm relays K1/K2 The messages "device error", "insulation fault", "insulation impedance fault",...
Function L2/-. If an assignment is not possible, for example in the event of a symmetri- cal insulation fault, the message corresponding to "+" and "-" are shown to- gether. The message "test" indicates a self test. The message "S.AL" indicates a so-called "device start with alarm". After con- necting to the supply voltage U and setting the parameter value to "S.AL = on", the ISOMETER®...
Page 22
Function Operating time The operating time t is the time required by the ISOMETER® to determine the measuring value. The insulation resistance measuring value depends on the the insulation resistance R and the system leakage capacitance C . For ex- ample, a maximum permissible system leakage capacitance of C = 300 μF and an insulation fault of R...
Function Start-up delay After connection to the supply voltage U the alarm indication for the preset time (0…10 s) in the parameter "t" is suppressed. 3.2.8 Password protection (on, OFF) If password protection has been activated (on), settings can only be made subject to the correct password being entered (0...999).
The ISOMETER® uses the serial hardware interface RS-485 with the following protocols: The BMS protocol is an essential component of the Bender measuring device interface (BMS bus protocol). ASCII characters are used for the data transfer. Modbus RTU ...
