ISOMETER® isoES425 Disposal of Bender devices Abide by the national regulations and laws governing the disposal of this device. For more information on the disposal of Bender devices, refer to www.bender.de > service & support. 1.10 Safety If the device is used outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the applicable local standards and regulations must be complied with.
• Two separately adjustable response value ranges 1…990 k (prewarning, alarm) • RS-485 (galvanically isolated) including the following protocols: – BMS (Bender measuring device interface) for the data exchange with other Bender devices – IsoData (for continuous data output) • Password protection against unauthorised changing of parameters...
ISOMETER® isoES425 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 residual voltages U (between L1/+ and earth) and U (between L2/–...
Function 2.3.2 Undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring To monitor the system voltage U , the two parameters “U˂” and “U˃” can be enabled in the response-value menu “AL” (chapter 4.4). The maximum undervoltage value is limited by the overvoltage value. The RMS value of the system voltage U is monitored.
(“Err”) will be signalled, “E.xx” appears on the display as an identifier for error type xx, and the LEDs “ON”/“AL1”/“AL2” will flash. Please contact Bender Service, if the error occurs again after the device has been restarted or the factory settings have been restored.
Function The message “S.AL” indicates a device start with alarm. When the parameter value is set to “S.AL = on” and the supply voltage U is connected, the ISOMETER® starts with the insulation measured value R and sets all activated alarms. The alarms will be cleared only when the measured values are up-to-date and no thresholds are violated.
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. • IsoData The ISOMETER®...

Function With “Adr = 0”, the menu entries baud rate and parity are not shown in the menu and the IsoData protocol is activated. With a valid bus address (i.e. not equal to 0), the menu item “baud rate” is displayed in the menu. The parameter value “---”...
Installation, connection and commissioning Connection DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of: • Risk of electrocution due to electric shock • Damage to the electrical installation • Destruction of the device Before installing the device and before working on its connections, make sure that the installation has been de-energised.
ISOMETER® isoES425 Commissioning Check that the ISOMETER® is properly connected to the system to be monitored. Connect supply voltage U to the ISOMETER®. The device carries out a calibration, a self test and adjusts itself to the IT system to be monitored. With high system leakage capacitances this process may take up to 4 min.
