ASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Introduction MT416 and MT418 are programmable AC voltage / current transducers with minimal differences in functionality. Where there are some characteristic features that denote MT416 or MT418 symbol next to data. 1.1.1 Description of symbols Subchapter Symbols next to the subchapters indicate accessibility of functions described.
ASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Description of the device Programmable AC measuring transducer is intended for measuring, analyzing and monitoring single- phase voltage or current. Also frequency measurement of voltage or current signal is supported. It measures TRMS values by means of fast sampling of voltage and current signals, which makes instrument suitable for acquisition of transient events.
1.3.1 Programmable AC Voltage transducer MT416 MT416 is intended for measuring and monitoring single-phase voltage or frequency. Voltage input is electrically insulated from the system by means of voltage transformer. It measures TRMS voltage value by means of fast sampling of voltage signals, which makes instruments suitable for acquisition of transient events.
Only a qualified person shall therefore perform connection. Iskra d.o.o. does not take any responsibility regarding the use and connection. If any doubt occurs regarding connection and use in the system, which device is intended for, please contact a person who is responsible for such installations.
(connection mode, current and voltage transformers ratio, etc.). Mounting (MT416/418 Programmable AC measuring transducer is designed for panel mounting. It should be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail by means of one plastic fastener. Before installation fastener should be in open position (pulled).
INTENTED ONLY FOR QUICK SETUP BY MIQEN SOFTWARE PRIOR INSTALLING THE INSTRUMENT. USB connector is placed on the bottom of the MT416/418, behind removable cap. After installation it is not accessible any more. When connected, MT416/418 is powered by USB port.
CONNECTION Connection of auxiliary power supply Programmable AC measuring transducer has universal (AC/DC) auxiliary power supply. Information on electric consumption is given in chapter Technical data on page 22. Auxiliary supply is connected through two screw-in connectors. Universal (24 VDC – 300 VDC; 40 VAC – 276 VAC) or Transformer (110, 230 VAC), which should be chosen at placing the order.
SETTINGS 3 SETTINGS A setting structure, which is similar to a file structure in an explorer is displayed in the left part of the MiQen setting window. Available settings of that segment are displayed in the right part by clicking any of the stated parameters.
PC. MiQen software MiQen software is a tool for a complete programming and monitoring of ISKRA measuring instruments, connected to a PC via serial communication or USB communication. A user-friendly interface consists of five segments: devices management, instrument settings, real-time measurements, data analysis and software upgrading.
PLEASE NOTE More information about MiQen software can be found in MiQen Help system! You can download freeware MiQen (standard edition) from: www.iskra.eu Setting procedure In order to modify instrument settings with MiQen, current parameters must be loaded first. Instrument settings can be acquired via a communication link (serial or USB) or can be loaded off-line from a file on a local disk.
