How to use this operating manual effectively This symbol indicates an immediate risk to life and limb. Failure to observe these warnings means that death, se- vere bodily injury or substantial material damage will oc- Danger ! cur if the corresponding precautions are not taken. This symbol indicates a potential risk to life and limb.
Up to 12 measuring current transformers can be connected to one EDS460-DG. Up to 90 EDS460-DG evaluators can be connected via a BMS bus (RS-485 interface with BMS protocol), thereby up to 1080 measuring channels (sub-circuits) can be monitored. The scanning time for all channels is approximately 4…10 s.
However, the use of such devices may introduce risks to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or result in damage to BENDER equipment or other property.
Reference plates must always be clearly legible. Replace damaged or illegible signs immediately. 2.4 Delivery conditions, guarantee, warranty and liability The conditions of sale and delivery set out by BENDER shall apply.

System description 3.2 Function of the EDS system When an insulation fault is detected by the insulation monitoring device in the IT system, the insulation fault location process will be started. On the occurrence of a first insulation fault, a fault current essentially determined by the system leakage capacitances flows in the IT system.

System description Fault curve Safe insulation fault location is only possible in the grey-shaded area. A measuring channel where insulation fault location is not possible is marked with "peak" in the ""Alarm/meas. values" menu. Example: A residual current of 0.4 A / 20 Hz (marked with a point (•) in the diagram) would be outside the permissible range.
Check all parts supplied for any evidence of damage in transit. Equip- ment damaged in transit must not be used. If a device has sustained damage, please contact BENDER. Details of who to contact are indi- cated on the delivery documents.
Mount the measuring current transformers in accordance with the notes in the "Transformer installation" technical information.

Switching on 1. Connect the supply voltage of all devices connected to the BMS bus. Initially, the "ON" LED flashes on the EDS460-DG and the EDS460-D graphic display shows the (BENDER) welcome screen. The "ON" LED then lights up permanently.
Operation 6. Operation 6.1 Operating and display elements EDS460-DG EDS460-D Alarm LED 1 lights up in the event of the following types of device errors: - when the residual current is exceeded > 2 A (RCM function) - when there is a loss of power or short circuit in a measuring cur- rent transformer circuit (this function can be deactivated).
6.2 Working in operating mode 6.2.1 Standard display In operating mode, the EDS460-DG waits for insulation fault location to begin. The schematic representation shows that no alarm message exist on all of the 12 channels ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 6.2.2...

A test serves to check the device function (hardware components) of the EDS. A test can be called in the following ways: press the "TEST" button on the front panel of the EDS460-DG, press an external test button connected to the EDS460-DG, send a TEST command via the BMS bus, call up the "TEST"...
Press the "ESC" key to exit the display of the current alarm message. A reset is carried out by: pressing the "RESET" button on the front panel of the EDS460-DG, pressing an external reset button connected to the EDS460-DG, sending a reset command via the BMS bus.

Operation Residual current The residual current flowing through the measuring current transformer is continually measured and displayed. If the residual current exceeds 100 mA, it will be indicated on the dis- play. If the residual current exceeds 2 A, an alarm message will be signalled. Once the residual current reaches values of this magnitude, reliable insulation fault location becomes impossible.
Operation 6.4.2 Menu 2: History The non-volatile history memory saves up to 300 data records (alarms, device errors). If the history memory is full, the oldest entry will be de- leted in the event of an alarm to create space for the new entry. For de- tails about erasing the entire history memory refer to chapter "6.4.3.4 Settings menu 4: History".

If the status that triggered the alarm is no longer present, the EDS460- DG terminates its alarm once the release delay has expired. Configurable values: 0s, 6s, 12s, 18s, 24s The alarm is terminated when the EDS460-DG has not recognised an insulation fault for the duration of a test current pulse.
Operation 6.Converters Converters are a major source of interference for the monitored system. Channel is optimised for converters. Insulation fault lo- cation takes longer in this subcircuit. Channel is not optimised for converters. Insulation faults cannot be reliably detected in circuits containing con- verters.

Control menu 3: Test communication This function enables you to test communication between the EDS460- DG and other BMS equipment. To do this, the EDS460-DG sends an alarm message via the BMS bus until the "Test communication" function is exited. A connected evaluation device (IRDH575, MK800, MK2430, FTC470...) must process this alarm.

Menu 5: External devices This menu can be used for setting and operating external devices con- nected via the BMS bus to this EDS460-DG. In this way, settings at other EDS460-DG can be carried out, for example. The menu items of the external devices available via this function are displayed on the EDS460-DG.
EDS... If you otherwise try to program it, the er- ror message "Own address" will appear. When the device has been recognised, the EDS460-DG reads the current settings of the connected device. The address and the device type will be displayed in the first line.
We recommend that the test function is called on each connected EDS460-DG at regular intervals. You call a test by: pressing the "TEST" button on the front panel of the EDS460-DG, pressing an external test button or calling the "TEST" function in the Control menu.
Tests and service 7.4 Trouble shooting 7.4.1 Display device error An "error code" is displayed if a fault occurs. Display in the event of a fault: Device error: xx (xx = Error code). Please have this device information to hand if you should need to con- tact us for assistance by telephone.
