    Overvoltage. The measured voltage exceeds the rated voltage by a +15%. Alarm relay In case that the number of stages configured in a MCE06ADV or MCE12ADV , is less than 6 or 12 respectively, the relay number 6 or 12 is automatically configured as alarm relay. The relay remains connected in absence of alarm (positive safety) and disconnects in case that one or more of the errors listed in section 3.2 occur.
  • Page 9: Regulator Status And Key Functions

    Controllers MCE06ADV – MCE12ADV Regulator status and key functions MCExxADV regulators have two possible status. Normal or RUN Status: This is the normal working status of the regulator. In such status the device measures and displays the cosϕ of the loads and automatically regulates the connection and disconnection of capacitors in order to compensate according to programmed target value.

The necessary data to perform the calculation are: The power of the smaller capacitor step, Q, the supply voltage, V and the current transformer ratio, K &...
  • Page 15: Selection Of The Number Of Stages

    This setting allows the selection of the number of stages of the PF compensation equipment. Depending on the device type, MCE06ADV or MCE12ADV we can select up to 6 or 12 stages. If the number of stages is less than 6 or 12 respectively in MCE06ADV or MCE12ADV the relay number 6 or 12 is automatically assigned as alarm relay (see paragraph 3.3)

  • Page 17: Run Status

    Controllers MCE06ADV – MCE12ADV RUN STATUS Once the device has been configured according to installation needs it can be set to RUN mode to regulate the PF of the installation. RUN mode is the default mode after exiting the set-up menu or after the device start (supply connection followed by a short initialisation period).
  • Page 18: Mcexxadv Behaviour In Alarm Mode

    Controllers MCE06ADV – MCE12ADV MCExxADV behaviour in ALARM mode In case that the MCExxADV detects an error during normal operation (see paragraph 3.2) the screen displays an error code and the behaviour of the device is as described in table 7-.1.
