General information 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.
ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV Function Intended use The ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV in combination with the AGH420-1/AGH421-1 coupling device monitors the insulation resistance R for DC fast charging stations according to the CHAdeMO standard or according to the Combined Charging System (CCS) for nominal system voltage ranges between DC 0 V and 1000 V. In order to meet the requirements of the applicable standards, customised parameter settings must be made on the equipment in order to adapt it to local equipment and operating conditions.
Function • Activatable fault memory • 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) • Password protection against unauthorised changing of parameters •...
ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV 2.3.1 and C in “CHd” and “CHA” mode (CHAdeMO) The insulation fault R and the system leakage capacitance C are only determined for DC system voltages ≥ 50 V. The maximum permissible system leakage capacitance C is 1.6 F per conductor. In mode “CHd” the value R is determined by the smaller of the values R and R...
Function 2.3.6 Functional tests of contactors in the charging station and the vehicle If the ISOMETER® is disconnected on one pole from the monitored voltage source during a functional test of the charging station or vehicle contactors, a false alarm may occur depending on the location of an existing insulation fault.

ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV 2.3.10.1 Cyclic background test The cyclic background test checks the functionality of the C. It is not visible to the user and does not influence the measuring function. In case of malfunction, the respective device error messages “E.09” to “E.16” appear. 2.3.10.2 Continuous PE connection monitoring The connection of terminal “E”...
Function 2.3.11 Error codes In the event of a device error the display shows the respective error code. 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.
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 2.3.15 Measuring and response times The measuring time is the period essential for the detection of the measured value. The measuring time is reflected in the operating time t . For the insulation resistance measured value, it is mainly determined by the necessary measuring pulse duration, which depends on the insulation resistance R and the system leakage capacitance C...
ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV When the measuring function is stopped, the display shows “StP”. Stop mode can also be triggered via an interface command, and in this case it can only be reset via the interface. If coupled with AGH421-1, the activation of stop mode via the interface command disconnects the ISOMETER® from the monitored network.

ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV For details about the required conductor cross sections, refer to chapter “Technical data”, page 42. Wiring diagram legend: Terminal Connections Connection to the supply voltage U via fuse: A1, A2 If supplied from an IT system, both lines have to be protected by a fuse.* Connect each terminal separately to PE: E, E, KE Use the same wire cross section as for “A1”, “A2”.
ISOMETER® isoCHA425HV Commissioning Check that the ISOMETER® is properly connected to the system to be monitored. Connect supply voltage U to the ISOMETER®. The start routine can take up to 30 s. Afterwards, the current insulation resistance is shown as the standard display.
