Basic description and operation of measuring transducer 2.1 Introduction MT416 and MT418 are programmable AC voltage / current transducers with minimal differences in functionality. Where there are some characteristic features that denote MT416 or MT418 symbol next to data. Subchapter Symbols next to the subchapters indicate accessibility of functions described.
VDC; 40 VAC – 276 VAC) or Transformer (110, 230 VAC), which should be chosen at placing the order. Voltage input (MT416) Voltage input is connected to measuring circuit through measuring voltage transformer (500k). Maximum value of input voltage is 600 V Current input (MT418) Current input is connected to measuring circuit through current transformer (0.01).
2.4 Purpose and use of programmable AC measuring transducer Programmable AC Voltage transducer MT416 MT416 is intended for measuring and monitoring single-phase voltage or frequency. Voltage input is electrically insulated from the system by means of voltage transformer. It measures RMS voltage value by means of fast sampling of voltage signals, which makes instruments suitable for acquisition of transient events.
Both the use and connection of the device includes handling with dangerous currents and voltages. Only a qualified person shall therefore perform connection. Iskra MIS does not take any responsibility regarding the use and connection. If any doubt occurs regarding connection and use in the system, which device is intended for, please contact a person who is responsible for such installations.
USB connector is placed on the bottom of the MT416/418, behind removable cap. After installation it is not accessible any more. When connected, MT416/418 is powered by USB port. Connect a communication line by means of a corresponding terminal. Corresponding data are stated on the instrument label, regarding the selected communication.
RS485 communication is intended for connection of devices to network where several instruments with RS485 communication are connected to a common communication interface. We recommend the use of Iskra MIS communication interfaces for best compatibility! Check the sticker on top of the instrument for correct connection of terminals.

Connection Warning! For safety purposes it is important that both wires are firmly connected. They should be connected only to the designated terminals as shown on the label above as well as on the front foil. Function Connection I MT 418 AC current Measuring input:...
Settings 4.1 Introduction Instrument settings can be remotely modified with communication (COM1 and/or USB if available) and MiQen software when connected to a PC. 4.2 MiQen software MiQen is a software tool for complete monitoring of measuring instruments, connected to a PC via serial or USB communication.
Settings MiQen user interface Note You can download freeware MiQen (standard edition) from: www.iskra- mis.si 4.3 Setting procedure In order to modify instrument settings with MiQen, current parameters must be loaded first. Instrument settings can be acquired via a communication link (serial or USB) or can be loaded off-line from a file on a local disk.
Settings Maximum demand calculation (MD mode), (MT418) The instrument provides maximum demand values from a thermal function demand values. A thermal function assures exponent thermal characteristic based on simulation of bimetal meters. Maximal values and time of their occurrence are stored in device. A time constant (t. c.) can be set from 1 to 255 minutes and is 6 −...
(depending on a serial number of the meter). The BP password is available in the user support department in ISKRA MIS, and is entered instead of the password PL1 or/and PL2. Do not forget to state the meter serial meter when contacting the personnel in Iskra MIS.
Settings 4.7 Analogue output Output is fully programmable and can be set to any of 6 ranges. Output parameter Set the measured parameter to be transformed onto the analogue output. Output range Defines analogue output full-scale ranges: DC current output DC voltage output 0 …...
Settings Example of settings with linear and bent characteristic: Average interval for analogue output Defines the average interval for measurements on the analogue output. Available settings are from 1 period (0.02 sec at 50Hz) up to 256 periods (5.12 sec at 50Hz). Reset maximal MD values (MT418), Current and stored MDs are reset.
Measurements 5.1 Introduction In the following chapters the device’s operation is explained more in detail. 5.2 Explanation of basic concepts Sample factor − M A meter measures all primary quantities with the sample frequency of 6.991 kHz. The minimum of 107 samples must be in the calculation period. Based on these limitations (65Hz·107 samples) a sample factor is calculated.
