2.3 Intended use The current monitoring device CMD420 resp. CMD421 monitors a three-phase system and also three different AC systems for undercurrent or overcurrent, and in window mode for undercurrent and overcurrent. For current measurement, three external standard current transformers are to be connected according to the wiring diagram.
Undercurrent and overcurrent monitoring in AC systems, current monitoring with window discriminator function • Current monitoring using standard current transformers: x/ 1A (CMD420), x/ 5A (CMD421) • Two separately adjustable alarm relays with one changeover contact each (K1, K2) •...
3.2.4 Malfunction In the event of an internal malfunction, all three LEDs will flash. The error code (E01…E32) will appear on the display. In such a case please contact the Bender Service. 3.2.5 Fault memory The fault memory can be activated, deactivated or set to continuous mode (con). If the fault memory is set to "con“...
CAUTION alarm category "Err" has to be assigned to the selected alarm relay in the menu out/r1 or r2. If these conditions cannot be met, periodic inspection of the CMD420/CMD421 is required! 3.2.9 Delay times , The times t, t and t described below, delay the output of alarms via LEDs and relays.
The transformation ratio for the current transformers has to be set as factor n in the menu "Set". The CMD420 requires current transformers with a transformation ratio of n = x/1A. The CMD421 requires current transformers with a transformation ratio of n = x/5A.

Installation, connection and commissioning 4.5 Maintenance One alarm relay of the CMD420 CMD421 must work in N/C opera- tion with the alarm category "Err" assigned to this relay, otherwise periodic inspection will be necessary! CAUTION A functional test is recommended to be carried out at regular intervals. It is preferable to check correct alarm indication by means of a current fault.

Operation and configuration 5.3 Menu structure All adjustable parameters are listed in the columns "Menu" and "Adjustable parameters". A display-like representation is used to illustrate the parameters in the column Menus. Different alarm categories can be assigned to the alarm relays K1, K2 via the submenus r1, r2. This is done by activation or deactivation of the respective function.
Operation and configuration 5.4 Display in standard mode By default, the currently measured current of measuring channel L1 is displayed. By pressing the Down button the following values can be queried consecutively: – Current of measuring channel L2 – Current of measuring channel L3 –...

Operation and configuration 5.5.5 Assigning alarm categories to the alarm relays Overcurrent, undercurrent and device-related errors of the current monitor can be as- signed to the alarm relays K1 (r1, 1) and K2 (r2, 2). By default, the alarm relays K1 and K2 sig- nal prewarning and alarm in case of overcurrent.
Operation and configuration Alarm relay K1: Activating the category response value I2 >1,5 s Alarm relay K1: Deactivating the category device test >1,5 s Deactivating an alarm relay (K1/K2) via the menu prevents an alarm being indicated by the respective changeover contact! An alarm will be signalled by the respective alarm LED (AL1/AL2) CAUTION only!
Operation and configuration The control steps for setting the response delay t and the start-up delay t are shown as an example. Setting the response delay >1,5 s Setting the start-up delay >1,5 s 5.5.7 Changing from overcurrent operation to window operation Use this menu item to set whether the response values of the device apply to overcurrent (HI) or undercurrent operation (Lo).
Operation and configuration 5.5.8 Setting the transformation ratio for external current transformer >1,5 s 5.5.9 Factory setting and password protection This menu can be used to activate password protection, to modify the password or to de- activate password protection. It is also where the device can be reset to the factory settings. a) Activating the password protection >1,5 s CMD42x_D00101_01_M_XXEN/10.2021...
