ISOMETER® isoMIL425HV 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 from 1…500 k (prewarning, alarm) • RS-485 (galvanically isolated) including the following protocols: – BMS (Bender measuring device interface) for the data exchange with other Bender devices – Modbus RTU – IsoData (for continuous data output) •...
ISOMETER® isoMIL425HV 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 nominal system voltage U between L1/+ and L2/– as well as the residual voltages U (between L1/+ and earth) and U (between L2/–...
Function 2.3.1 Monitoring the insulation resistance The insulation resistance R is monitored by means of the parameters 'R1' (prewarning) and 'R2' (alarm) (see chapter 4.4). The value 'R1' can only be set higher than the value 'R2'. If the insulation resistance R reaches or falls below the activated values 'R1' or 'R2', an alarm message is triggered.
('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 2.3.5 Alarm assignment of the alarm relays K1/K2 The notifications for 'device error', 'insulation fault', 'undervoltage/overvoltage fault', 'device test' and 'device start with alarm' can be assigned to the alarm relays via the 'out' menu. An insulation fault is indicated by these messages: •...
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.

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 '---' for the baud rate indicates the activated BMS protocol.

If the AGH is operated at mains voltages > 800 V, the temperature of the enclosure may exceed 60 °C. • Do not touch the surfaces of the device after connecting it to the mains voltage. CAUTION Only one ISOMETER®...
Installation, connection and commissioning 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.
