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 qualified personnel are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a device or system.
Safety instructions 2.3 Intended use The current monitor is designed to monitor the threshold values of AC cur- rents for overcurrent and undercurrent conditions. In case of direct measure- ment, currents up to 16 A (screw-type terminals) resp. 12 A (push-wire terminals) can be continuously monitored.
3. Function 3.1 Device features Undercurrent or overcurrent monitoring in AC systems, < I or > I and current monitoring with window discriminator function Indirect current monitoring by means of a current transformer, suitable for transformation ratio factor 1…2000 Adjustable switching hysteresis ...
E.03…E.32 Carry out a reset. Reset the device to fac- tory setting. After eliminating the fault, the error code will be automatically deleted. If the fault continues to exist, please contact the Bender Service. CME420_D00034_03_M_XXEN/08.2020...
Function 3.2.4 Specify the number of reload cycles If faults occur only temporarily, but recurrently, in the system being monito- red, with deactivated fault memory M, the alarm relays would switch synchro- nously to the error status. RL in the out menu can be used to limit the number of these changeover pro- cesses.
Function 3.2.8 Time delays , The times t, t and t described below delay the output of alarms via LEDs and relays. Starting delay After connection to the supply voltage U , the alarm indication is delayed by the preset time t (0…300 s). Response delay on1/2 If the current value exceeds or falls below the threshold value, the current mo-...

Operation and setting Parameter settings An example is given below on how to change the alarm response value for overcurrent > I1. It is presumed that the option overcurrent (HI) has been se- lected in the SEt/I menu (factory setting). Proceed as follows: 1.
Operation and setting 5.5.3 Response value setting for overcurrent: - Response value I2 (overcurrent) - Response value I1 (overcurrent) - Hysteresis (Hys) of the response values I1, I2 Increasing the response value I2 (Example: overcurrent) Increasing the response value I1 (prewarning overcurrent) Setting the hysteresis of the response value CME420_D00034_03_M_XXEN/08.2020...
