For example: AP1020 Universal power supply 100V...240V DC/AC (50Hz to 60Hz) input range 12W / 30VA 1 PHASE power consumption S/N 001900/20115 serial number...
FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION Note: the keyboard + display module for parameter programming may not be present on the instrument: in this case, the RS232 serial output module or a plug module (without any function) can take its place. 1. Keyboard The keyboard module (when present) allows to access to the following functions: Functions available out of the programming phase.
OPERATING MODE It is possible to configure SPT-90 either by means of a special configura- tion software "SptSoft" or by means of a special programming module: • Displaying and control (if the programming module is present) During the operating phase, the following status indications may be displayed: •...

• if the Password is a number between "1 and 499", the configuration data are almost entirely protected against undesired accesses. It is possible to reset the Password by entering the number 682. • All programming/configuration steps of the transducer are shown in the flow chart in the centre of this manual.

: programming of the (primary/secondary) voltage transformer (V.T.) ratio. Programmable value: 1 Example: a V.T. with a 660V primary and a 100V secondary (660/100V) means a ratio (P-S value) of 6.6. The position of the decimal point has been previously selected as 11.1 to perform a V.T. ratio from 0.1 to 99.9. Ao.0 :selection menu of the digital output.

Hi.A : programming of the maximum electrical scale of the analogue output. Value expressed as % of the output range (20mA, ±20mA, ±10mA, ±5mA, 10V, ±10V, ±5V, ±1V) to be generated in correspondence with the maximum measured value (Hi.E parameter). Value to be programmed within the range: 0.0 Hi.A 99.9.

display will show the value set during the last programming. At the first switching on, the value of "Lo.E" is automatically set to "0" by the transducer. This value can be changed in order to have a different beginning of scale corresponding to the "Lo.A" analogue output. Hi.E : programming of the max.

programmed value. Example 1: the transducer is a three-phase model for unbalanced loads and requires a rated input of a 100/š 3V phase-neutral voltage and 5A current (AV3.3 model). The mains is 20,000V phase-phase voltage and the maximum current for each phase is 500A. Therefore, the relevant parameters become: in.C P-S = 100;...

parameters and the output is activated and deactivated only from a personal computer's serial port. The transducer displays one of the following possibilities, depending on the type of card being mounted: : pulses for energy measurements only. The number of pulses is set for each energy unit; the latter is defined by the type of totalized energy chosen in the "EnE"...

Considering: AFS = 37.5 (kW), FSO = 20mA, Hi.E = 28.0 (kW); Lo.E = 10.0 (kW), Hi.A = 99.9 (%), Lo.A = 20.0 (%) the Ripple (%) becomes: 100,000 x 0.5 x (28 - 10) = 15 (%) 37.5 x 20 (99.9 - 20) then, enter 15.0 as Fi.S value.
ACCURACY INFORMATION WARNING The control of the analogue outputs is not guaranteed if: - the overload conditions of the inputs (1.2 In/Un) are exceeded and - the "Sr" scale ratio is higher than 4. Input Star Voltage Delta voltage Current Un: 100V/š3 Un: 100V In: 1A...

becomes: 3 x U x I x cos = 3 x 6000 / š 3 x 265 x 0.85 = 2.33MW becomes: 3 x U x VT (ratio) x CT (ratio) = 3 x 100 / š 3 x 5 x 60 x 60 = 3.12MW, the ratio P is: 0.75 In both examples the accuracy of the measurement is 0.5% F.S.
USEFUL INFO The transducer is able to retransmit the measured current/power/energy according to the direction of the current flowing in the primary/secondary of the connected current transformer (if connected); see the figures below: It is very important to respect the polarity of the measuring inputs, otherwise the analogue outputs will not work properly.
