Preface Preface The purpose of this User Manual is to familiarize users with the CMC 310 test set hardware and its specifications. This manual is supplemented by the Safe use of CMC test sets manual, on-site safety regulations and existing national safety standards for accident prevention and environmental protection.
Safety Designated use The CMC 310 is a test set controlled by the CMControl P software for the testing of protection relays, energy meters, SCADA systems and devices. ► Do not use CMC test sets in any other way than described in this document or in working environments that exceed the specifications given in section 4 "Technical data".

Do not open CMC test sets or carry out any modifications, extensions, or adaptations. ► If CMC test sets seem to be functioning improperly, please contact OMICRON Support. ► Falling adapters or cables are a hazard. Test leads wired to tall test objects must be secured mechanically.
CMC 310 User Manual Cleaning Cleaning procedure: 1. Switch off the power switch. 2. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet. 3. Clean the CMC test set with a cloth dampened with isopropanol alcohol. Changing the power fuse Proceed as follows to replace the power fuse on your CMC test set: 1.
Test set overview Description The CMC 310 is a test set controlled by the CMControl P software. This User Manual describes the hardware of the CMC 310. The configuration and control of the CMC 310 is carried out by the CMControl P software.
The 3 voltage outputs have a common neutral (N) that can be connected to protective earth, if required. → Section 4.4.3 "Voltage outputs" on page 25. The amplifier is galvanically separated from all other connectors of the CMC 310. All voltage outputs are protected against open circuits, L-N short circuits, overload, and overtemperature.
► Make sure that there is no infeed from an external source. → Section 4.4.2 "Current outputs" on page 22. Each output is galvanically separated from all other connections of the CMC 310. All current outputs are protected against open circuits, short circuits, overload, and overtemperature. OMICRON...
3.2.3 BINARY INPUT All 6 inputs of the CMC 310 can be individually configured by the control software to be binary inputs (wet = potential-sensing or dry = potential-free). When the contacts are potential-sensing, the expected nominal voltage can be set for each binary input.

You can, for example, use a typical, often-used device under test as a reference, or use measurement equipment with a certified high accuracy. Should the test equipment fail, immediately contact OMICRON Support for calibration or repair. Do not try to use it anymore.
Operational limits in conjunction with a weak power supply input voltage In general, the maximum output power of the CMC 310 is limited by the power supply input voltage. If the power supply input voltage is less than 120 V , it is possible to supply the CMC 310 with 2 phases (L-L, for example with a NEMA 6 240 V U.S.
1. t1 = maximum possible uptime for a cold CMC 310 test set. 2. At an ambient temperature of 23 °C, when operating the CMC 310 test set with a low power supply, allow a duty cycle of 10 min on/10 min off.
1. For injections longer than 1 minute, the maximum fundamental frequency is limited to 587 Hz to comply with international trade restrictions for frequency-controlled signal generators. For other options, please contact OMICRON Support. 2. Amplitude derating for current outputs at frequencies above 380 Hz.
8. For injections longer than 1 minute, the maximum fundamental frequency is limited to 587 Hz to comply with international trade restrictions for frequency-controlled signal generators. For other options, please contact OMICRON Support. 9. Amplitude derating at >380 Hz (→ "Current derating at high frequencies for sinusoidal signals" on page 23)
