Second Freely Scalable Analog Output : This second analog output is independently scaled and fully isolated from the standard LKAT2 measurement output. In typical applications, it is scaled to provide accurate measurement above the standard rectifier operating range for advanced protection purposes.
Checking field calibration of LKAT Systems requires use of a reference current transducer with calibration accuracy of 0.1% full-scale or better. Contact DynAmp, LLC for calibration of the LKAT System. Refer to “Maintenance and Spare Parts” section for more information.
The complete system should be inspected for shipping damage at the earliest opportunity. Visible damage must be reported to the carrier immediately. Concealed damage (not evident until the system is operated) must be reported to DynAmp, LLC immediately. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Read the following before mounting the head: 1.
Diagnostic Measurements Form 1– Zero Primary Current” and contact the factory. Refer to “LKAT2 Diagnostic Measurements Form 1 – Zero Primary Current”. Allow the system one hour to stabilize prior to making measurements. Make measurements and record data shown on the form. File the completed test form for future reference. It is OK to...

6. Connect the ITC Cable assembly to the Metering Unit. INSTALLATION USING MOUNTING CHANNELS Refer to the Outline and Mounting LKAT2 4-pc Measuring Head drawing at the end of this manual. The mounting hardware for this method consists of appropriately sized fiberglass channels and rods along with brass washers and nuts.
SYSTEM CHECKOUT Recheck all wiring connections against the drawings to ensure proper installation. Energize the LKAT2 System. Confirm that the green status LEDs are illuminated. If accuracy diagnostic LED lights red, skip to “Troubleshooting an Accuracy Diagnostics Fault Indication” in the “Theory of Operation” section of this manual Energize the rectifier to the desired test current.

Portable Installation, Operation and Service Manual Photocopy the appropriate LKAT2 Diagnostic Measurements Forms. Form 1 is for diagnostic measurements at zero bus current (with the Measuring Head on or off the bus). Form 2 is for diagnostic measurements with the Measuring Head installed on the bus with the bus energized.
Laboratory Accreditation Bureau "Guidance for Documenting and Implementing ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and Laboratory Guidance." As a guideline, DynAmp recommends a 24-month interval of calibration for all permanently installed products and a 12-month interval of calibration for all products used in portable applications.
Field calibration is possible using a 0.1% accurate current measurement system, such as the DynAmp LKP, LKCO or Opti-Cal as a reference. Due to significantly larger size and mass, it may be difficult to install a comparably rated LKP Measuring Head in on the same bus as the LKAT .
The trip setpoint is proportional to the current where the trip will occur: “Trip Current” – from Metering Unit nameplate. The easiest method to check or change trip setpoints is to use the DynAmp LKAT MUT system which is specifically designed to simplify this process as well as verify proper operation afterwards.
Here is a detailed description of the Earth Ground connection path: 1. The input power cable assembly connects CONN4 to the mains power. 2. Refer to the LKAT2 System Wiring Diagram and wire accordingly. 3. The earth ground wire connects from CONN4 to the FLTR1 metal case only. The FLTR1 metal enclosure is not connected to copper foil traces on the Power Supply PC Board Assembly, the steel standoff inserts or the steel PCB mounting bracket.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE As is true with any electronic system, proper maintenance will tend to prolong the service life. DynAmp, LLC recommends the following program be performed at the recommended interval to prevent or detect damage to the LKAT System and to ensure reliable performance.
System Measuring Heads require special repair procedures and materials. However, the heads are very reliable and should require little or no repair over its service life. Please refer to the nearest authorized DynAmp, LLC service center for information on repairs.
