3.2.4 Malfunction If an internal functional fault occurs, all three LEDs flash. An error code will ap- pear on the display (E01…E32). In such a case please contact the Bender Service. 3.2.5 Fault memory The fault memory can be activated, deactivated or can be set to continuous mode (con).
3.2.8 Password protection (on, OFF) With the password protection activated (on), settings are only possible after entering the correct password (0…999). If you cannot operate your device because you cannot remember your pass- word, please contact info@bender-service.de. VME421H_D00141_01_M_XXEN/06.2016...
Function 3.2.9 Factory setting FAC After activating the factory setting, all settings previously changed are reset to delivery status. In addition, the preset function allows automatic adaptation of the response values in relation to the nominal voltage U 3.2.10 Erasable history memory The first alarm value that occurs will be stored in this memory.
Function 3.2.12 Starting a device using a simulated alarm S.AL If the menu item S.AL has been activated in the out menu, K1 resp. K2 switches back to the alarm state once the supply voltage is applied. This alarm state is maintained for the set duration t + t .
4. Installation and connection Only qualified personnel are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a device or system. Risk of electrocution due to electric shock! Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of: An electric shock ...

Installation and connection 1. DIN rail mounting: Snap the rear mounting clip of the device into place in such a way that a safe and tight fit is ensured. Screw fixing: Use a tool to move the rear mounting clips (a second mounting clip is required, see ordering information) to a position that it projects bey- ond the enclosure.
4. When the conditions 1, 2 and 3 are satisfied, you can connect the vol- tage monitor to the system to be monitored according to the wiring diagram (page 20). The following predefined response values will be set automatically: VME421H-D-2 Preset Response value Response value operating range <...

Operation and setting 5.6.5 Assigning alarm categories to the alarm relays Undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency, overfrequency and device-rela- ted error messages of the voltage relay can be assigned to the alarm relays K1 (r1, 1) and K2 (r2, 2. K1 is set at the factory to signal an alarm in the event of overvoltage, and K2 is set to signal an alarm in the event of undervoltage.
Page 35
Operation and setting Alarm relay 1: Deactivating the category overvoltage When an alarm relay (K1/K2) has been deactivated via the menu, an alarm will not be signalled by the respective changeover contact! An alarm will only be indicated by the respective alarm LED (AL1/AL2)! CAUTION This only applies to the out menu setting LEd = off!
Operation and setting 5.6.6 Setting the time delay Use this segment to set a response delay t (0…300 s) for K1, t (0…300 s) for K2, a start-up delay t (0…300 s) when starting the device, as well as a common release delay t (0…300 s) for K1, K2.
