1 Documentation statement This manual applies to the product model FR-DCMG-MMPS, and the software version is A08D. 2 Safety Precautions 2.1 Signs The following signs may appear in this article, and their meanings are as follows. Signs Instructions Indicates a hazardous situation which,if not avoided, will result in DANGER death or serious injury.
Please read this user manual carefully before installation. If the equipment is damaged due to failure to install in accordance with this user manual, our company reserves the right not to guarantee the quality. Before installation, make sure that it is not electrically connected and powered on. ...
3 Product description FR-DCMG DC monitor products are mainly used in DC transmission, power distribution and other occasions, such as photovoltaic combiner boxes, arc protection boxes, etc. Through RS485 communication with the host computer, its main functions include real-time monitoring of the current of each branch in the DC system, the temperature of the cabinet, the status of the lightning arrester and the status of the DC circuit breaker, etc.
3.2 Terminal Definition Symbol Meaning PV+/PV- Measuring voltage Not connecion Not connecion RS485 Communication terminal Fixed Ground terminal TS1/TS2 Externally connected temperature sensor terminals Temperature sensor and digital input ground terminal DI1/DI2/DI3/DI4 4 digital input terminals O+/O- Connecting the shunt release Can connect modules with FUC interface Modules with an FMB interface can be connected, such as the FR- DCMG-AS4A DC Arc Detector.
4 Wiring diagram of monitoring module 4.1 Electrical wiring diagram Note: O+ is connected to 24V+, SG is connected to 24V-, if the connection is reversed, the module may be damaged...
4.2 Ground connection and RS485 communication shielded wire The FG terminal of the FR-DCMG must be grounded, otherwise communication will interfere and the reliability of the device will decrease. The grounding wire should be grounded nearby. The grounding wire should be no more than 15cm from the “FG” terminal to the bottom of the combiner box.
5 UI introduction 5.1 Key operation FR-DCMG-MMPS has four keys "ESC", "-", "+", and "SET". "ESC" key is used to return to the default interface and cancel parameter settings; "SET" key is used to enter the parameter setting mode, select the parameter to be set and complete the setting of the parameter;...
⑥ Current histogram; the default display range is -4A ~ 20A, and the display range can be expanded by setting register 0x0B16; ⑦ Histogram partition: because 6 Halls are inserted, 6 partitions 5.4 Channel current data In the current interface, press the "+" or "-" key to enter the channel current display interface, and the current value of each channel is displayed on the screen.
(Factory default)Relay mode (O+/O- DC voltage is 24v), the interface is as follows: On the shunt trip setting interface, you can set the shunt trip enable time (TIME) and trip self-check (SELFCHECK) when an arc alarm occurs. When the "*" flashes in the TIME line, press the "SET" key, and then press"+"or"-" to modify the shunt release time.
HV:— SV:Software version number ST:— 5.9 Alarm status display interface Alarm messages can be cleared remotely and manually. Manual clearing requires long-pressing the host's "ESC" key for 2 seconds, remote clearing requires writing "1" to register 0x0079 to clear. If an arc trip alarm occurs, it must be cleared manually or remotely.

6.3 Alarm conditions 6.3.1 Alarm judgment condition Prerequisites for alarm judgment of channels such as reverse current, no current, undercurrent, overcurrent, low current, and high current: a. When the average value of the channel current is greater than the set current channel alarm activation threshold, the alarm function of the above current-related items will be activated,...
Continuous Arc The arc duration exceeds the IAT, or the arc duration does not exceed the IAT, but the arc occurs again within the CAT. 6.5.2 Arc alarm strategy 1. Instantaneous arc alarm If the arc intensity of any channel exceeds the channel alarm threshold, an arc alarm will be generated.
