Important information 2.3 Intended use Only qualified personnel are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a device or system. The ISOMETER® monitors the insulation resistance R of unearthed AC, AC/DC and DC systems (IT systems) with system voltages of 3(N)AC, AC/DC 0…1000 V or DC 0…1000 V.
Important information The partial resistances can be calculated from the total insulation resistance R and the faulty conductor (R %) using the following formula: Fault on conductor L1/+ –>R = (200 % * R )/(100 % + R %) Fault on conductor L2/- –>...
Important information 3.2.2 Undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring In the response value menu "AL" (see Page 29), the two parameters ("U <" and "U >") for monitoring the system voltage U can be activated or deactivated. The maxi- mum undervoltage value is limited by the overvoltage value. The r.m.s.

Important information Error codes If a device error occurs, the following error codes appear on the display: Error code Description PE connection error The connection of terminals E or KE to earth is interrupted. E.01 Action: Check connection, eliminate error. The error code will be erased automatically once the error has been eliminated.
"E.09" to "E.16" appear. If the error occurs again after restarting the device or after a reset to factory settings, contact Bender Service. Continuous PE connection monitoring The connection of terminal E of the AGH to the PE protective conductor is monitored continuously and in parallel with the measuring function of the device via the input KE of the isoCHA425HV, which is also connected to the PE protective conductor.
Important information 3.2.5 Measuring and response times The measuring time is the time required to detect a measured value. The measuring time is reflected in the operating time t . The measuring time for the measured insula- tion resistance value is mainly determined by the required measuring pulse duration, which depends on the insulation resistance R and the system leakage capacitance C of the system to be monitored.
Important information 3.2.6 Password protection (on, OFF) If password protection has been activated (on), settings can only be made if the correct password has been entered (0...999). 3.2.7 Factory setting FAC Activating the factory settings will reset all modified settings ? with the exception of the interface parameters ? to the default values upon delivery.
3.2.11 Digital interfaces (isoHV425-D4-4) The ISOMETER® uses the serial hardware interface RS-485 with the following protocols: The BMS protocol is an essential component of the Bender measuring device interface (BMS bus protocol). Data is transferred using ASCII characters. Modbus RTU ...

Important information Legend of the wiring diagrams: Terminal Connections Connection to the supply voltage U via fuse (line protection): If being supplied A1, A2 from an IT system, both lines have to be protected by a fuse. Connect each terminal separately to PE: E, E, KE The same wire cross section as for A1, A2 is to be used.
Important information 4.3 Commissioning 1. Check that the ISOMETER® is properly connected to the system to be moni- tored. 2. Connect the supply voltage U for ISOMETER®. The device carries out a calibration, a self test and adjusts itself to the IT sys- tem to be monitored.
