    5. A normally closed relay contact for accuracy diagnostics output at TS2-12 through TS2- 14. This feature is only available when the accuracy diagnostics option is ordered. 6. Optional isolated shunt output. Scaling is per customer order: 0-10V, 4-20mA available. © 2020 DynAmp, LLC Page 041736 N...

    Installation Category Pollution Degree Contingent upon DynAmp, LLC computer analysis of bus system. The LKP systems are factory-set for the correct voltage and frequency (50 or 60 Hz) per customer order. To operate an LKP system at a different line frequency than was ordered, move jumper JP1 (located on the control board inside each module) to the desired frequency.

    4. INSTALLATION 4.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Even though the LKP Series systems are large and rugged, they should be handled with the same care as any precision measuring instrument. Larger Measuring Heads are quite heavy, and adequate handling equipment must be available. Severe jolts or bumps to the Measuring Head or Metering Unit may cause movement of internal parts, and possibly a malfunction.

    Choker slings may be used around the Measuring Head as long as strong lateral pressure on the edge of the window insulation is avoided (see note below). © 2020 DynAmp, LLC Page 041736 N...
  • Page 25 Also, the interconnecting cable is of top quality, but it is not armored. Protect it from abrasion and sharp edges. Figure 4.2 Window Insulation Nomenclature Typical For LKP Series Measuring Heads NOTE The Measuring Head must be installed with current arrows in the same direction as conventional current flow in the bus.

    B.) Before connecting the other end of the interconnecting cable to the Metering Unit, perform the ohmmeter tests in Table 4.1. The tests are made from the open end of the cable, looking back towards the Measuring Head. Record these values for future reference. © 2020 DynAmp, LLC Page 041736 N...
