Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section1 General The power factor controller Prophi 12 (single phase) enlarges the product range of power factor control devices by a useful combination of the well known features with the advantages of a better visualization. The big graphic display enables a user-friendly programming and gives further benefits such as larger display in the Display-mode and the display of various parameters in bargraph-mode.

Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® The controller is supplied as standard for an operating voltage of 110...440 VAC (+-10%), a measuring voltage of 30...440 V~ (L-N) resp. 50...760V~(L-L) and a measuring current of 5A or 1A. A voltage converter is required for different operating voltages. Caution! Voltages which exceed the specified voltage range can damage the device !
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 2 Installation and connection of the controller The device is designed to be incorporated into the front panel of a PFC-cabinet. It requires a switchboard section of 138 x 138 mm to DIN 43700/ IEC 61554. The controller is inserted from the front and is attached by means of the appended clamps.
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® 2.1 Current measurement When installing the current converter, care should be taken to ensure that the load current and capacitor-current flows through it. The outputs of the compensation network must be installed behind the current converter (in the direction of current flow). If the device is connected up via sum-current converters, the overall conversion ratio is entered.
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® 2.3 Error-Messages: Alarmrelay / Message-relay* The PROPHI 12R is equipped with an alarm relay. Version /RS features an additional message relay. The functions may be programmed as follows: Alarm relay: Setting under Message relay: Setting under...

When this threshold is exceeded, a message is given.
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 6 Manual operation (initial operation, maintenance, service) Programming of fixed stages In manual operation, capacitor branches can be connected/disconnected in the set control series and switching time - irrespective of prevailing power-line conditions. Manual operation 1: The starting condition is STOPP (no stages connected).
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 7 Service menu The service menu is reached by the operating-mode key. The stored maximum values of the network parameters can be displayed here as well as the number of switching operations of the individual capacitors and their operating time. The desired stages [in square brackets] can be selected via the arrow keys.
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 8.1 Expert mode 1 The expert mode is meant for the adjustment of values which normally should not be changed. As a protection against mal-operation this level has an access code. Factory setting: “6343” The password can be changed in point 22 of expert mode 1.

Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 8.2. Expert mode 2 The additional 2nd expert mode includes all messages for operation, warning and error which are displayed by the PROPHI 12. Here they may be deactivated separately. When deactivated, the indication of the message in the display as well as possible activation of the relay or effects on the control behavior are suppressed.
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 9 Control principle The control response of the device can be selected in programming mode. The controller has four different control modes: 1. Sequential connection In sequential connection, the required capacitor stages are successively connected and disconnected in stages (last in - first out).
Prophi 12R / 12 RS ® Section 10 Display-Editor The Display-editor is reached by activation the operation button. In the Display-editor a selection of measuring values can be performed which shall be displayed in the Display-mode. Out of the available measuring values shown below 3 values can be selected sequently which then are available in the Display-mode as large letters.
