How to get the most out of this manual This symbol indicates an immediate risk to life and limb. Failure to observe these warnings means that death, se- vere bodily injury or substantial damage to property will Danger ! occur if the corresponding precautions are not taken. This symbol indicates a potential danger to the life and limb.
In case of doubt, please contact a BENDER product man- ager. An EDS system consists of the insulation fault evaluators EDS460/490 or EDS461/491 and either the A-ISOMETER® IRDH575 or insulation fault test device PGH.

2.3 Safety information BENDER devices are built in accordance with the state of the art and accepted rules in respect of technical safety. Nevertheless, 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 devices or other property.
Non-observance of instructions in this operating manual and the sup- plement entitled "Important safety instructions for BENDER products" in respect of transport, storage, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
The guarantee obligation is restricted to repairing or replacing equip- ment returned to BENDER within the guarantee period. In order for claims made under the terms of the guarantee to be accepted, BENDER must acknowledge that the product is faulty and that the fault con- cerned cannot be attributed to incorrect handling or modification of equipment, non-compliant use or abnormal operating conditions.
(IT systems) that a first fault is to be eliminated with the shortest prac- ticable delay. Fast insulation fault location is possible with EDS systems. 3.1.3 System versions EDS460, EDS461, EDS490 or EDS491 differ in their response sensitivity and/or number of alarm relays. 3.1.4 System features Universal system concept;...
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 fault location is possible in the grey-shaded area. If insulation fault location is not possible on a measuring channel, the EDS issues the message "peak". Symmetrical insulation faults downstream of the meas- uring current transformer are not recognized under cer- tain circumstances.
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.
Installation and connection 4.3 Notes on mounting Before mounting the device and working on the device connections, make sure that the power supply voltage has been disconnected. Failure to comply with this re- quirement will expose personnel to the risk of electric Danger ! shock.
