Product Description
The insulation monitor RN 5897/010 of the VARIMETER IMD family is a
solution for optimal insulation monitoring of modern IT systems.The device
can be used in the most flexible way for AC, DC and AC/DC systems even
with large leakage capacity to earth (PE). The adjustment of the setting
values is simple and user friendly done on 2 rotary switches on the front of
the device. Via display and LEDs the measured value, device parameters
and device status are indicated easy to read. With a sealable transparent
cover the device is protectet against manipulation.

Your Advantages
• Preventive fire and system protection
• Detection of symmetric and asymmetric insulation faults
• Quick fault localisation through selective earth fault detection to L+ and L-
• Universal application in non-earthed AC, DC, AC/DC networks
up to AC max. 250 V or DC max. 300 V
• With connection facility of an external coupling device:
RL 5898 for voltages up to AC 400 V / DC 500 V
RP 5898 for voltages up to AC 690 V / DC 1000 V
RR 5898
for voltages up to AC 1000 V / DC 1500 V

• Easy adjustment of response values and setting parameter via
rotational switch and menu display
• Suitable for large leakage capacitances up to 1000 µF
• Optimised reaction time for large leakage capacitances
• Monitoring also with voltage-free mains
• Measuring circuit L(+)/L(-) with broken wire detection (can be switched off)
• Protective conductor PE1/PE2 with broken wire detection
(can't be switched off)
Features
• Insulation monitoring according to IEC/EN 61557-8
• Trigger output for insulation fault locating system
• 2 separate adjustable response thresholds
(using e.g. for pre-Alarm and Alarm)
• Setting range of 1st response value (Pre-Alarm): 20 kΩ ... 2 MΩ
• Setting range of 2nd response value (Alarm): 1 kΩ ... 250 kΩ
• 2 changeover contacts für insulation failures-Pre-Alarm and -Alarm
• Energized or de-energized on trip can be selected for indicator relay
• Display for indication of measured value, device parameters and
device status
• Setting the maximum leakage capacitance to shorten the response time
• Automatic and manual device self-test
• Alarm storage selectable
• Protection against manipulation by sealable transparent cover
• External control input for combined Test-/Reset-button
• 3 wide voltage input for auxiliary voltage
• Width 52.5 mm
