• Two separately adjustable response value ranges from 10 k to 5 M (prewarning, alarm) • Device supply via wide-range power supply • 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) •...
Function In the first step, the battery is assembled in two parallel strings (plus and minus string) which are not interconnected. During the second step, the two strings are connected to form a complete battery by means of another battery. The resulting measured values allow diagnosing the type and location of the insulation fault.

Function 2.3.6.3 Battery voltage The system voltage U is monitored with the voltage comparators described above. The insulation fault between the unconnected strings as well as the completion of the battery can be detected via these comparators. 2.3.7 Error codes In the event of a device error the display shows the respective error code.
ISOMETER® isoBAT425 System connection monitoring The system connection monitoring monitors the connection of terminals “L+” and “L−” to the battery by means of the coupling impedance ZE420. An error is reported with the code E.02 and device error. The monitoring requires a resistance smaller than 12 k and a system leakage capacitance C larger than 80 nF between terminals “L+”...

Function Sending a test command via the interface (COM): – The LCD shows “tES” and “CAL”. – A reset is carried out after the test. If triggering via the “T/R” button, the alarms remain active during the test (except the “Device fault” alarm). In addition, the message “test”...
ISOMETER® isoBAT425 2.3.10 Stop mode The stop mode stops the measuring functions of the ISOMETER®. The measuring pulse voltage is 0 V and the input resistance of the system coupling has a high resistance. The LCD displays the message “StP”. The message “test”...
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.

ISOMETER® isoBAT425 • IsoData The ISOMETER® sends an ASCII data string with a cycle of approximately 1 second. Communication with the ISOMETER® in this mode is not possible, and no additional sender may be connected via the RS-485 bus cable. The ASCII data string for the ISOMETER® is described in chapter 5.4. The IsoData protocol can be terminated by sending the command “Adr3”...
ISOMETER® isoBAT425 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.
Installation, connection and commissioning Legend to wiring diagram Terminal Connections A1, A2 Connection to the supply voltage U via fuse (line protection): If supplied from an IT system, protect both lines by a fuse.* Connection to PE: Use same wire cross section as for “A1”, “A2”.
