Product Description
The insulation monitor RN 5897/311 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 setting of the parameters
and the switching values is done via Modbus. All measured values, device
statuses and parameters can also be read out via Modbus. All functions
of the device can also be operated via Modbus. The operating status is
indicated user friendly via a multicolour LED. 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
Modbus RTU-interface
• Suitable for large leakage capacitances up to 1000 µF
• Erweiterter Betriebstemperaturbereich von - 40 ... + 70 °C
• Optimised reaction time for large leakage capacitances
• Monitoring also with voltage-free mains

-alarm each galvanically isolated
• With galvanic separated Modbus RTU interface
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): 1 kΩ ... 2 MΩ
• Setting range of 2nd response value (Alarm): 1 kΩ ... 2 MΩ
• Energized or de-energized on trip can be selected for indicator relay
• With multicolour status LED to indicate the state of operation
• Setting the maximum leakage capacitance to shorten the response time
• Automatic and manual device self-test
