Safety precautions The power analyzer CAM mobile has been designed as a protection class I instrument in accordance with the safety regulations IEC/EN 61010-1. To ensure the safety of the operating staff a protective earth via the power supply connector is mandatory and the following warnings must be adhered to. Safety is not guaranteed if warnings are not followed or if the device is operated incorrectly or handled improperly.

Device overview The CAM mobile is a measurement device to be used in any low voltage power distribution. It bases on the SINEAX CAM, a proven universal measurement unit for heavy-current quantities, equipped with data logger, lists, display and USB interface. The CAM mobile is designed for the non-stationary analysis of energy demand and system state quantities.
After the first start-up of the software set the communication interface to „USB“ using the menu item options | interface. Once done use system | search devices to bring the CAM mobile into the device list. By double- clicking on the appropriate symbol in the device list the present parameterization of the device is read and displayed.
4.3.2 Parameterization of the measurements to record In the register „mean values“ those quantities can be selected, which should be recorded later over a longer time period. Two different groups of mean values with up to 12 quantities each are supported. Typically of the groups is used with a longer interval time, e.g.
4.3.3 Defining events to monitor To detect and record the occurrence of special situation, such as overload or phase failure, limit values can be defined. The state of a limit or a combination of multiple limit states can then in the logic module be classified as event or alarm.
States of limit values are the most important input quantities of the logic module. If more than 3 inputs are required, the result of a logic function can be used as input for the next function. For that you have to know that logic functions are evaluated in the sequence 1…32.

min/max RMS-values for P1, P2, P3 for each 15 minutes interval For a temporary measurement using the CAM mobile the memory utilization should be selected, that most of the data logger parts allows the same storage (in the example 153 days). For lists this is not possible directly, but you can define the maximum number of storable events.
The state of the logger will not be changed by a power failure or by switching off the device. Therefore the CAM mobile may be transported to the place of action, without the need to start the logger again on-site.
Connecting the device on-site Observe warning 1…7 of the safety precautions! 5.1 General warnings National provisions (e.g. in Germany VDE 0100 “Conditions concerning the erection of heavy current facilities with rated voltages below 1000 V”) have to be observed ! 5.2 Connecting power supply For safe operation the device must have a low impedance connection to the protective earth connector.

Checking the correct installation By means of the PC-Software Voltage (at least 20% U ) and current (at least 2% I ) must be connected rated rated Using the connection check, which is integrated in the visualization of the instantaneous values, the correct connection of the current and voltage inputs may be checked.
Performing measurements As soon as the CAM mobile is switched on the device starts to measure and analyze the input quantities in accordance with the configuration. Since the measurement is likely to take place over a longer time period, it is important to check some basic settings, as otherwise the recorded measurement data can not produce the desired result.
Functionality of the CB-Analyzer software This .NET based software allows reading and analyzing the data of logger and list of the CAM mobile. Data read from the device is saved in a data base. The software is able to handle data of multiple devices at the same time or sequentially.

D Installation of PC software D1 Installation of CB-Manager software D1.1 For Windows 2000 / Windows XP In the directory CB-Manager on the CD start the program "setup.exe“, which installs both CB-Manager software and USB support. If the software is already installed an appropriate message is displayed.
For the CB-Manager software USB support is required only. All other drivers may be deselected. Click on 'Next' to install the support. At the end of the installation process you may be prompted to reboot your computer. D1.2 For Windows Vista / Windows 7 Windows Vista / Windows 7 may not accept "setup.exe"...
D1.4 First run of the CB-Manager software On first startup of the software (and only at this If the interface RS232/RS485 is selected you can time) the following window appears: subsequently define interface parameters. By limiting the possible address range the search for connected devices can be accelerated.
Page 59
Windows Vista / Windows 7 Driver is correctly installed, but communication not possible If the driver is installed correctly but the CB-Manager Software is not able to communicate via the USB interface, a problem with user rights may exist. Maybe the file storage of the communication settings on the hard disk is locked as well.
D1.6 Removing USB devices from the control panel Each CAM device once connected to the PC is registered in the operating system. There are various reasons for removing such entries: - The corresponding device has been configured and built-in in the plant. - USB communication with the device doesn't work.
D2 Installation of CB-Analyzer software The installation of the software comprises two parts. Along with the application software CB-Analyzer the run time environment of Microsoft .NET must be installed in form of the .NET framework. D2.1 Installation of the base software In the directory CB-Analyzer on the CD execute the file setup.exe If the software is already installed an appropriate message is displayed.
The installation takes normally a few minutes. The successful completion will be confirmed. Select "Close" to complete the installation. D2.2 Installation of Microsoft .NET framework 4 Windows Vista / 7 The .NET framework is part of the operating system. An installation is required only if there is an older .NET version installed.
The installation takes normally a few minutes. The successful completion will be confirmed. Select "Finish" for completing the installation. D2.3 First run of the CB-Analyzer software Following the first start-up of the software the communication interface and the data base must be set, before data can be requested from connected devices.
Now you are able to search for connected devices via the menu system. Then you can start the acquisition of data by clicking on "start". The menu item "endless mode" has the same functionality, but in addition checks from time to time if new data is available tin the devices.
