MAG-325 Version 2 – JULY 2023 1 SAFETY AND OTHER WARNINGS For safety reasons, the ELV-PRO RV Relay must be installed, operated, and serviced only by competent personnel. Please read and understand this instruction manual completely before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment.
If there is evidence of physical damage, notify Ampcontrol immediately. Notify Ampcontrol immediately in the case of any discrepancies to the packing list. Keep a record of any claims and correspondence. Photographs are recommended.
* International patent application number PCT/AU2011/000705 Application The ELV-PRO RV is intended for use in high impedance IT power systems. The relay is intended to be used as the backup earth fault protection relay in conjunction with the OCS-RV providing primary protection on each outlet.
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the relay are prohibited. If modifications of any form are made to the relay, the equipment may no longer be fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the relay is evident, do not use the equipment and contact Ampcontrol for advice.
Mechanical Installation Information Figure 1: ELV-PRO RV Dimensions The ELV-PRO RV stainless-steel enclosure is rated at IP20. It is DIN Rail mounted and measures 135mm x 135mm and 107mm deep as per Figure 1. The terminal layout and description are shown in Figure 2: ELV-PRO RV Terminal Layout and Table 3 respectively.
CCM adapter will cause the system to not perform as designed. The certification will also be void. The ELV-PRO RV CCM Adapter can be seen in Figure 3. The CCM Adapter is made up of two separate components, the CCM Adapter Module and an IPX Base.

(right) is a dedicated digital input and Trip Reset 24V supply. All terminals of plug 2 are internally connected. Plug 4 (left) is a dedicated input plug; terminals P4_1 - P4_5 are assignable digital inputs, with terminal P4_6 the Reset input. The Trip Reset Input allows the ELV-PRO RV to be reset remotely. RESET P/B...
To ensure the CCM Adapter is connected and the signal the relay monitors is correct, a RV Test Signal is provided on terminals P6_5 & P6_6. A missing test signal will cause the ELV-PRO RV to trip. The test signal is applied every two seconds and may be seen on the live screens and data logs. If a residual voltage is detected the test signal will not be used.
This ensures that the relay factors in any external influences that could impact the signal analysis. This is achieved through the relays setting page, see section 6.2.6. Uncontrolled Copy - Refer to Ampcontrol Website for Latest Version Page 19 of 63...
4.4.4 ELV-PRO RV: Phase CT Input (Plug 5) The ELV-PRO RV has an optional phase CT input (Any suitable toroid with a secondary rating of 5A) which is captured only during a logged event if available. The CT is connected to terminals P5_1 &...
Figure 13: Electrical Connections – Control Contact Outputs Connections (Plug 1) It should be noted that any ELV-PRO RV built before August 2023 (Serial lower than 2308000000) will have transient suppression filters (RC combination, 22Ω + 100nF) installed across the trip outputs, see Figure 14.
MAG-325 Version 2 – JULY 2023 4.4.6 ELV-PRO RV: Dongle Input Slot The ELV-PRO RV has a dedicated dongle input slot, item 2 of Figure 16. The dongle is keyed and therefore has a specific orientation. Figure 15: ELV-PRO RV Parameter Dongle 4.4.7 ELV-PRO RV: Ethernet Input...
4.4.1 CCM Adapter: System Isolate Terminals The system isolate input on the CCM Adapter should be wired to the upstream contactor auxiliary using screen cable. Figure 19: CCM Adapter System Isolate Uncontrolled Copy - Refer to Ampcontrol Website for Latest Version Page 23 of 63...
4.4.2 Removal of Components The ELV-PRO RV can be removed by simply removing the plugs and dislodging the relay from the DIN rail. Each plug is secured to the relay through two screws on either end to prevent the plugs becoming loose during operation or transport.
The recommended setting for Residual Voltage (RV) detection is the Wideband mode. The ELV-PRO RV Relay has been designed and tested for use on high impedance earth referenced (IT) systems. To ensure maximum protection, the system should be used in conjunction with the other protection systems covered by AS/NZS 2081 as needed.
MAG-325 Version 2 – JULY 2023 Earth Fault Analysis Tool The ELV-PRO RV offers real time analysis of the earth fault voltages along with a logging function that allows the data to be analysed later. The real time analysis consists of three live graphs; an Oscilloscope graph, RMS Graph and a Fast Fourier Transform Graph.
IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. These are typically specified by your network administrator. Connection to the ELV-PRO RV internal web server requires access to a web browser on a connected PC or GUI that has access to HTTP port 80. Network settings will need to be configured correctly to successfully connect to the web server.

CCM Adapter - Phase Test Inputs Designed to create voltage imbalance within the ELV-PRO RV CCM to force a trip of the ELV-PRO RV Relay. There is one Test input for each of the 3 phases. These inputs are not to be conducted when System Isolate control input is active as this would not cause sufficient RV imbalance when not connected to the HVR.

The following settings are considered the factory default settings. Default settings will be utilised on an ELV-PRO RV that is booted with a new dongle installed. When a new dongle is installed into a powered and running ELV-PRO RV, the relay will load the settings on the dongle. The settings on the dongle will only be updated when modified and saved.
