ISOMETER® isoHV425 with AGH422 Functional description The ISOMETER® measures the insulation resistance R and the system leakage capacitance C between the system to be monitored (L1/+, L2/–) and earth (PE). The RMS value of the system voltage U between L1/+ and L2/–, as well as the DC residual voltages U (between L1/+ and earth) and U (between L2/–...
Function 2.3.2 Undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring , the two parameters 'U ˂' and 'U ˃' can be enabled in the response- To monitor the nominal system voltage U value menu 'AL' (chapter 4.4). The maximum undervoltage value is limited by the overvoltage value. The RMS value of the nominal system voltage U is monitored.

ISOMETER® isoHV425 with AGH422 Error codes In the event of a device error, error codes are shown in the display. Some of these are described below: Overview of some error codes Error code Meaning PE connection error The connection of 'E' or 'KE' to earth is interrupted. E.01 Action: Check connection, eliminate error.
Function User-controlled test functions The user-controlled test functions interrupt the measuring function of the device. They always include a test of the measurement technology (error code 'E.05') and additionally a test of the connection between the terminals L1/+ and L2/– via the system to be monitored (error code 'E.02') which can be activated by the user (menu 'SEt' / 'nEt').
ISOMETER® isoHV425 with AGH422 Delay on release t The delay on release t can be set uniformly for all alarm messages using the parameter 'toff', while each alarm message specified in the alarm assignment has its own timer for t An alarm message will be signalled until the limit value of the respective measured value is no longer violated (including hysteresis) for the duration of t without interruption.
The ISOMETER® uses the serial hardware interface RS-485 with the following protocols: • BMS The BMS protocol is an essential component of the Bender measuring device interface (BMS bus protocol). Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters. • Modbus RTU Modbus RTU is an application layer messaging protocol, and it provides master/slave communication between devices that are connected via bus systems and networks.
