    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 skilled persons are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a de- vice or system.
  • Page 12: Intended Use

    Safety instructions 2.3 Intended use The ISOMETER® of the isoMIL425HV series monitors the insulation resistance of unearthed AC/DC main circuits (IT systems) with nominal system voltages of 3(N)AC, AC/DC 0 … 690 V or DC 0 …1000 V, 15…460 Hz. DC components existing in 3(N)AC, AC/DC systems do not influence the operating characteristics when a minimum load current of DC 10 mA flows.

  • Page 14: Functional Description

    Function 3.2 Functional description The ISOMETER® measures the insulation resistance R and the system leakage capacitance C between the system to be monitored (L1/+, L2/-) and earth (PE). The RMS value of the nominal system voltage U between L1/+ and L2/- as well as the residual voltages U (between L1/+ and earth) and U (between L2/- and earth) are also measured.
  • Page 15: Monitoring The Insulation Resistance

    Function If the values R or U do not violate their release value (response value plus hysteresis) for the period t without interruption, the alarm relays will switch back to their initial position and the alarm LEDs "AL1"/"AL2" stop lighting. The ISOMETER®...
  • Page 16: Undervoltage/Overvoltage Monitoring

    Function 3.2.2 Undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring In the menu "AL" (see chapter 5.3), the parameters ("U <" and "U >") for monitoring the mains voltage can be activated or deactivated. The maximum undervoltage value is limited by the overvoltage value. The RMS value of the mains voltage is monitored. If the mains voltage U reaches, falls below or exceeds the limit values ("U <"...
  • Page 17 Function Error codes If, contrary to expectations, a device error should occur, error codes will ap- pear on the display. Some of these are described below: Error code Description PE connection fault The connections "E" or "KE" to earth are interrupted. E.01 Action: Check connection, eliminate fault.
  • Page 18 Function After eliminating the fault, the alarm relays switch back automatically or by pressing the reset button. The self test can take a few minutes. The self test can be suppressed for the du- ration of the device start by setting the parameter in the menu "SEt" to "S.Ct = off".
  • Page 19: Malfunction

    LEDs "ON"/"AL1"/ "AL2" will flash. If the error occurs again after restarting the device or after restoring the facto- ry settings, please contact Bender Service. 3.2.5 Signalling assignment of the alarm relays K1/K2 The messages "device error", "insulation fault", "insulation impedance fault",...
  • Page 20: Measuring And Response Times

    Function 3.2.6 Measuring and response times The measuring time is the period essential for the detection of the measured value. The measuring time is reflected in the operating time t The measuring time for the insulation resistance value is mainly determined by the required measuring pulse duration, which depends on the insulation resistance R and system leakage capacitance C...
  • Page 21: Password Protection (On, Off)

    Function Delay on release The delay on release t can be set uniformly for all messages in the menu "t" using the parameter "toff". An alarm will continuously be signalled until the threshold value of the re- spective measuring value is not violated (including hysteresis) for the period of t without interruption.
