1.2.2 About the operating manual This operating manual has been compiled with the greatest possible care. Nevertheless, errors and mistakes cannot be entirely ruled out. The BENDER companies assume no liability whatsoever for any injury to persons or dam- age to property which may be sustained as a result of faults or errors in this operating manual.
Inspect the dispatch packaging and equipment packaging for damage, and compare the contents of the package with the delivery documents. In the event of damage in transit, please inform the BENDER company immediate- The devices must only be stored in areas protected from dust, damp and spray or dripping water, and in which the specified storage temperatures are maintained.
Safety information 1.4 Directions for installation Only one insulation monitoring device may be used in each intercon- nected IT system. When insulation or voltage test are to be carried out, the device shall be isolated from the system for the test period. The terminals and KE shall be connected by a separate wire to the pro- tective conductor (PE).

5. Serial interfaces 5.1 RS485 interface with BMS protocol The RS485 interface which is galvanically isolated from the device electronics and current output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS protocol. If several A-ISOMETER®s or other bus-capable devices are inter- connected in a network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with a 120 Ω...

Serial interfaces 5.3 BMS protocol This protocol is an essential part of the Bender Measuring Device Interface. Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters. Interface data are: Baud rate: 9600 baud transmission: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit (1, 7, E, 1)
Serial interfaces Faults may be caused when: addresses are assigned twice a second master exists on the BMS bus interference signals occur on the bus lines a defective device is connected to the bus terminating resistors are not activated 5.3.2 BMS Slave All IRDH275B are factory set to slave mode (address 3).
