Goblin – Operational Manual 3P3W Mode Installation Follow these steps to install / commission the unit. 1. Push the unit into the panel and mount using the clamps provided. Connect the Auxiliary supply to the terminals marked P and N. The Auxiliary supply range is 80 VAC to 270 VAC.
Goblin – Operational Manual Operational Details The load manager, GOBLIN is a versatile meter, with all the features needed to implement with a robust electrical load management system. It can be configured to suit most control and communication needs. This is achieved by making as many parameters field programmable, as much possible.
Goblin – Operational Manual Programming Mode The unit is designed with a secure default password,”1947”. The password is also changeable from 0 to 9 according to user’s desire (see in the next section, programmable parameter, “Changing a Password”). To enter into Programming...
For logging the parameters, the Log Duration (LOG DUR) can be specified from 1 to 60 minutes. GOBLIN has the capability to log data on its own Non-volatile RAM. This data is logged in an FIFO buffer. Once the buffer (19691 records) is full, the oldest data is discarded and the newest data is filled into the buffer.
ALARM VAL:1 R_HYSTER.:1 Relay (rly) GOBLIN has four relay contacts, which are individually field programmable from 1 to Alarm on There are seven alarm parameters: Avg. Volts [(Vry+Vyb+Vbr)/3], Avg. Amps [(Ir+Iy+Ib)/3], KVA, KW, KVAR, KW Demand, KVA Demand and PF. These...
Goblin – Operational Manual parameters are programmable for each alarm relay according to user’s requirement. In case, user is not desired for alarm, the Alarm should be set to NONE. Alarm Value Alarm values are freely programmable from 1 to 10000. In case of Avg. Volts, the parameter is freely programmable from 1 to 70000.
Goblin – Operational Manual which the event will log. E.g. If the EVENT ON for EVENT 1 has been selected to KW, and the value is set to 450, the EVENT 1 will log when the KW exceeds 450 and remains so for 1 minute.

Goblin – Operational Manual The twenty-fifth page shows date and time of data logging for all parameters. The maximum LOGS is upto 19691. Once the LOGS is overflow, LOGS will start from 1 and OVERFLOW will show YES. This Log can be seen after downloading the data by using USB data or pen drive.
USB 2.0 and pen drive for downloading of logged data are also available in Goblin. These options make it possible for a user to select Goblin to provide power and energy information into a variety of existing or new control systems. Each communication option supports data transfer with external devices or applications.
Goblin supports USB 2.0 and Pen Drive for downloading of logged data. For USB, users are provided a CD for USB utility installation along with the purchase of Goblin. Before installing the software, users are advised to read carefully Read Me document in Logger disc for a list of minimum system requirements to be installed, if uninstalled before.

Goblin – Operational Manual Control Outputs The relay contacts provided in GOBLIN are rated for 3A @ 230VAC. They are also protected by snubbers against fast voltage transients which occur when inductive loads are switched off. Thus, the following points are to be taken care of when using these relay contacts: 1.
Voltage exceeds certain value, second when the Avg. Amps exceeds some level, third for KW, or KVAR or PF or Demand and so on. This allows the user to deploy GOBLIN as a true LOAD manager, to generate alarm / trip signals for four different conditions!
Page 42
Goblin – Operational Manual NOTES For providing resolution, all parameters except PF are multiplied with 100 before transmitting. Thus if the KVA value is 278.99, it is sent out as 27899. PF has a MF of 1000, instead of 100. Thus, a PF value of 0.987 is sent as 987.
