Safety instructions The terminals and KE have to be connected by a separate wire to the protective conductor (PE). If the terminals L1, L2 of the device are connected to an IT system under operation, the terminals and KE must not be disconnected from the protective con- ductor (PE).
• Memory with real-time clock to store alarm messages with date and time stamp • BMS interface (Bender Measuring Device Interface) for communication with other Ben- der devices (RS-485 galvanically isolated) • Internal disconnection of the ISOMETER® from the IT system to be monitored (via con- trol signal;...
Function Only use the AGH-LR coupling device supplied with the device for adaptation of the no- minal voltage range. The devices isoLR275 and AGH-LR are ideally adapted to each other. The corresponding combination device required in each case can be identified via the serial number on the device label. For repair work, both devices should be sent in in order to guaran- tee measuring accuracy.

Operation and configuration 5.2.3 Changing from the menu mode to the standard mode Pressing the "ESC" button allows fast changing from the menu mode to the standard mode. Thus, the menu item "EXIT" need not to be activated. If no button is pressed in a main or submenu, the system will automatically return from the menu mode to the standard mode after approximately five minutes.

Then the self test is automatically carried out once a day at a given time.
Operation and configuration 5.6 Menu COM SETUP - BMS interf ace 5.6.1 Bus address "Addr:" This menu is used to set the BMS bus address for isoLR275. Take care that the bus add- ress is not assigned twice. The device is factory set to address 3 and hence operates as a slave. If several isoLR275s are operated on one BMS bus, the address of other ISOMETER®s must be assigned one after the other, since only one device may have the master function.

Serial interface 6. Serial interface 6.1 RS-485 interface with BMS protocol The RS-485 interface electrically isolated from the device electronics and the current output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS protocol. If several isoLR275 or other bus-capable devices are interconnected in a network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω...
The number of bus nodes is restricted to 32 devices. When more devices are to be con- nected, Bender recommends to use a DI1 repeater. 6.3 BMS protocol This protocol is an essential part of the Bender measuring device interface (BMS bus protocol). Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters.
Serial interface Interface data are: • Baud rate: 9600 baud • Transmission: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit (1, 7, E, 1) • Parity: even • Checksum: Sum of all transmitted bytes = 0 (without CR and LF) The BMS bus protocol works according to the Master-Slave principle.
Serial interface 6.3.2 BMS slave All isoLR275 devices are factory-set to slave mode (address 3). In a BMS network, one address must be selected from the address range 2...30 for each slave. There may be no gaps of more than five subsequent addresses, so that all slaves can be scanned by the master.
Serial interface 6.3.3 Commissioning of an RS-485 network with BMS protocol • Connect the terminals A and B of all bus devices in one line • Switch the terminating resistors on at the start and the end of the RS-485 network. If a device at the end of the bus is not terminated, connect a 120 Ω...
