Function
2.4 Product description

The IRDH575 A-ISOMETER monitors the insulation resistance of IT sys-
tems. It is suitable for universal use in 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems. AC
systems may include extensive DC supplied loads, such as converters or thy-
ristor-controlled DC drives. The device automatically adapts itself to the ex-
isting system leakage capacitance. (IT system = Ungrounded System) .
The IRDH575 A-ISOMETER is fitted into an enclosure for panel mounting,
144 x 96 mm (WxH). For protection against dust and moisture, a panel seal
(IP42) or a front-face transparent cover (IP65) are available as accessories,
see page 88.
The IRDH575 can be used in combination with a control and indicating de-
vice, PRC1470 version 2 or higher, for example, on the BMS (BMS = Bender
Measuring Device Interface) bus.
2.5 Function
The IRDH575 A-ISOMETER is connected between the unearthed system
and the protective conductor (PE).
The response values and other function parameters are set via the function
keys. The parameters are indicated on the LC display and are stored in a non-
volatile memory (EEPROM) after the setting is completed.
A microprocessor-controlled pulsating AC measuring voltage is superim-
posed on the system ( measuring principle*). The measuring cycle
consists of positive and negative pulses of the same amplitude. The period
depends on the respective system leakage capacitances and the insulation re-
sistance of the system to be monitored. An insulation fault between system
and earth closes the measuring circuit. From the measured current value, the
microprocessor calculates the insulation resistance which is indicated on the
LC display or the external k measuring instrument.
When an AC system includes galvanically connected DC circuits, the fol-

lowing shall be considered:
Insulation faults in DC circuits can only be monitored correctly when the
rectifiers carry a continuous load of at least 5...10 mA.
The measuring time is determined by the system leakage capacitances, the

insulation resistance, and the system-related interference disturbances. Sys-
tem leakage capacitances do not influence the measuring accuracy.
If the reading is below the selected response values ALARM1/ALARM2, the
10 TGH1364en/04.2007
Function
associated alarm relays respond and the alarm LEDs "ALARM1/2" light up
and the measuring value is indicated on the LC display (in the event of DC
insulation faults, the faulty supply line is indicated). The fault indication can
be stored by bridging the terminals R1/R2 (external RESET button [NC con-
tact]) or by setting the fault memory to "Memory:on" in the "ISO SETUP"
menu.
Pressing the external or internal RESET button, resets the fault message, pro-
vided that the insulation resistance is at least 25 % above the preset value.

*) measuring principle "adaptive measuring pulse", a measuring

principle developed by BENDER.
2.5.1 Current output for external measuring instrument

The current output of IRDH575 provides 0(4)...20 mA. The current output is
electrically isolated from the device electronics and the RS485 interface. The
ISO SETUP menu, on page 41, allows to switch over between 0...20 mA and
4...20 mA.
2.5.2 Real-time clock

The real-time clock serves as a time base for the historical memory and self
test function. At first the correct time and date must be set in the menu "ISO
ADVANCED". If time and date are not set, a "C" (clock) is flashing in the
standard display. In the event of a supply voltage failure, time and date will
be stored for thirty days. If the 24 h self test is activated in the ISO AD-
VANCED menu, a special time of day can be selected for the execution of the
self test in the menu "TEST: 12:00". Then a self test will be started automati-
cally once a day exactly at the preset time. If the 1 h test has been selected,
the self test is automatically carried out every full hour.
TGH1364en/04.2007 11
Function
2.5.3 Insulation fault location

Another function of the IRDH575 is selective insulation fault location. If the
value of the insulation resistance falls below the set response values ALARM
1 and ALARM 2, a certain test current is generated by the IRDH575. The max-
imum value of the test current is determined by the maxPuls parameter, see
page 46. In combination with an insulation fault evaluator EDS47...-12 and
the associated measuring current transformers connected to it, the insulation
fault is selectively detected. The detected insulation fault is signalled to the
IRDH575 via the RS485 interface (BMS protocol) and is then indicated by an
alarm LED and indicated on the display. In the Master mode (Addr. 1), this
alarm message is indicated by the alarm relay K3 as common alarm.
In sensitive parts of the electrical installation malfunction can occur due to

the test current flowing between system and earth. Please note that the val-
ue of the test current is compatible with the electrical installation being
monitored.
2.5.4 Interconnected systems

When using A-ISOMETERs in IT systems care shall be taken that only one
active A-ISOMETER is connected in each interconnected system. If IT sys-
tems are interconnected via coupling switches, make sure that ISOMETERs
not currently used are disconnected and deactivated via a control system. IT
systems coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the insulation
monitoring process. Hence, also in this case a central control of the different
ISOMETERs is required.
2.5.5 Function input F1/F2 for connection or disconnection of IT systems being

monitored
The A-ISOMETER can be disconnected from the IT system and set to
STANDBY mode with the function input F1/F2. When the input F1/F2 is
bridged, the terminals L1/L2 are isolated from the measuring circuit via in-
ternal coupling relays and terminal L3 remains connected to the measuring
circuit via a resistor of 10 M. The measuring function is stopped and the
message STANDBY appears on the display. When using software version
1.4 or higher, the latest measured insulation resistance is blanked and the
value > 10 M appears on the display. Furthermore, the alarm relays and
alarm LEDs no longer provide alarm messages. Insulation faults already de-
tected will be indicated by all EDS4... devices.
After opening the function input F1/F2, first of all the connection to the IT
12 TGH1364en/04.2007
Function
system will be restored and a completely new measuring cycle for insulation
monitoring will be started. Using this function, selective disconnection of an
IRDH575 in interconnected IT systems can be carried out via auxiliary con-
tacts of the respective coupling switch. One coupling switch each in a line-
type or ring-type arrangement can deactivate a subsequent IRDH575. This ar-
rangement guarantees that only one A-ISOMETER is active in each galvan-
ically connected IT system.
Theoretically speaking, in a ring-type arrangement with all coupling switches
closed, all A-ISOMETER R s would be deactivated. In order to prevent this,
a BMS Master (IRDH575 Adr1) monitors the condition of the function input
F1/F2 of all Slave ISOMETERs. When all Slave ISOMETERs are in the
STANDBY mode, the insulation monitoring function of the Master ISOME-
TER remains active, that means, the input F1/F2 of the Master is without
function in this mode.

Example:
Let as assume, in the before-mentioned ring-type arrangement, the associat-
ed coupling switch of the Slave ISOMETER 2 were open. The coupling
switches of the BMS Master (Addr. 1) and of the Slaves 3 and 4 were closed.
In this case the ISOMETER and EDS functions of the Master and the Slaves
3 and 4 would be deactivated. In spite of changing to the STANDBY mode,
TGH1364en/04.2007 13
Function
the Master status of the device with address 1 would remain. That means, if
a parameterization is necessary, it has to be carried out via the IRDH575 with
BMS address 1.
2.5.6 ISOnet function for central control of the insulation monitoring process
when several IRDH575 are interconnected in IT systems.
Up to 30 A-ISOMETER can communicate with each other in an ISOnet net-
work. The ISOnet network can only be activated when a BMS bus is used for
interconnection. A typical method with four devices is shown as an example.
The ISOnet function of all A-ISOMETER in the ISOnet network must be
activated in the COM SETUP ISOnet=ON menu, refer to page 58.
The BMS master (BMS address 1) with activated ISOnet function con-
trols the ISOnet slave devices via the BMS bus. Address 1 must not be
assigned to another BMS device on the respective BMS bus.
When the master ISOMETER has finished one measuring cycle, the authori-
zation for insulation monitoring is passed on to the next higher BMS address.
This authorization is returned by the slave with the highest BMS address to
the BMS master after a cycle has been completed.
During the insulation monitoring process, all other A-ISOMETER, are in the
STANDBY mode. In this way it is prevented that A-ISOMETERs influence
each other in interconnected IT systems.
At f = 50Hz and Ce = 1 F, an ISOnet device stays in the measuring mode for
12s and then changes to the STANDBY mode. The maximum response time
of the ISOnet device that made the last measurement, will be extended by
the number of devices x 12s, in our example 48s.
When an insulation fault is detected by an A-ISOMETER, the insulation
fault location process is started. The device stays in the measuring mode dur-
ing this time. Only after completion of insulation fault location, the ISOnet
device stops the monitoring mode and passes the authorization for insulation
monitoring on to the next device.
In the STANDBY mode, the ISOnet device displays the last measured insula-
tion resistance.
Each ISOnet slave checks the network for an ISOnet master. If there is no
master available, the display will show the fault message ISOnet Master?.
With the ISOnet function activated, the function input F1/F2 is automatically
deactivated.
14 TGH1364en/04.2007
Function
All EDS devices in the IT systems being monitored must be operated

with activated fault memory.
In comparison to a solution with coupling switches and function input F1/

F2, the response time will be extended because the measurement is not per-
manently carried out.

This has the advantage that no auxiliary contacts of a coupling switch are
required. Furthermore, this solution is recommended for IT systems coupled
via capacitances or diodes.
2.5.7 Self test

In order to guarantee high functional reliability, the A-ISOMETER provides
comprehensive self test functions. After switching the supply voltage on, all
internal measuring functions, the components of the process control such as
data and parameter memory as well as system and earth connections are
checked using the self test functions. The progress of the self test is indicated
TGH1364en/04.2007 15
Function
on the display by a bar graph. Depending on the system conditions, the du-
ration of the self test is 15... 20 seconds, then the device indicates "Test ok"
for approximately 2 seconds. Then the device returns to normal measuring
mode and the current measuring value is displayed after the expiry of the
reading time.
When a fault is found the message "!Error!" appears on the display, the device
fault relay K3 (31-32-34) drops, the device fault LED lights up and the respec-
tive error message (see table) is indicated. If such a device fault occurs, a self
test will be started every 60 seconds. If no more malfunction is detected, the
fault message will automatically be deleted, the device fault LED extinguish-
es and the device fault relay K3 energizes again.
During operation, the self test function can be started by pressing the TEST
button (internal or external) or automatically every hour or every 24 hours
by selecting "ISO ADVANCED": Autotest:" in the menu. The alarm relays
ALARM 1/2 can only switch after starting the self test function by pressing
the TEST button, that means if an automatic self test has been selected, the
alarm relays do not switch.

16 TGH1364en/04.2007
Function
2.5.8 Relay K3: device fault alarm and EDS common message
Relay K3 is intended to signal device and connection errors of the
A-ISOMETER. In the Master mode with bus address 1, EDS alarm messages
can be collectively indicated by the K3 relay as well as system fault messages.
Collective indication of the EDS alarms by K3 can be disabled by selecting
K3 Alarm: off from the "EDS Setup" menu. Refer to page 47.
K3 is permanently set to N/C operation, with the contacts 31-34 normally

closed, that means when a fault occurs, the relay deenergizes (K3: 31-32 con-
nected).
Further details are described in "chapter 2.5.7 Self test". Even when a proto-
col converter of the FTC470... series is installed in a BMS system which is
temporarily taking over the Master function is, the function collective EDS
message will remain. This function is directly dependent on BMS address 1,
the Master status is a secondary factor.
2.5.9 Factory setting
The devices are delivered with the following factory setting:

ISO SETUP: Alarm 1 / Alarm 2 = 40 k / 10 k
(response values)
ISO SETUP: Operating principle K1/K2 = N/O operation
-------------- K3 = N/C operation (fixed setting)
ISO SETUP: Memory = off
ISO ADVANCED: System leakage capacitance = 150 F
EDS SETUP: EDS = auto
EDS SETUP: System = 3 AC
EDS SETUP: max. pulse = 25 mA (for EDS460/490, EDS470)
COM SETUP: Bus address = 1 ( Master)
Please check if the basic setting of the A-ISOMETER complies with the re-
quirements of the system to be monitored.

4. Connection
IRDH575 has plug-in terminals.
Connect the terminals A1/+ and A2/- to the supply voltage US in accordance
with IEC 60364-4-43. The connections to the supply voltage shall be provid-
ed with protective devices to afford protection in the event of a short-circuit
(a 6 A fuse is recommended).
Devices for protection against short-circuit in conformity with

IEC 60364-4-43 for the IT system coupling L1/L2/L3 can be omitted if the wir-
ing is carried out in such a manner as to reduce the risk of a short-circuited
to a minimum (a short-circuit-proof and earth-fault-proof wiring is recom-
mended).
Use the accompanying terminal covers for terminal protection
Only one A-ISOMETER may be connected to an external TEST or RESET

button. The TEST and RESET inputs of different insulation monitoring devic-
es must not be connected in parallel for collective testing.
Only one insulation monitoring device may be used in each intercon-

nected IT system.
When insulation or voltage test are to be carried out, the device shall be
isolated from the system for the test period.

5.2 Menu structure and menu mode

The presentation of the menu structure consists of two parts. One part con-
sists of the menu options 1 to 8, the other one of the menu options 9 to 12.
All EDS-related menu options are grouped together and are represented on
one display. The EDS Setup menu option is designed for the test current gen-
erator parameter setting of the IRDH575 for all insulation evaluators. One ex-
ception in the EDS Setup menu is the parameter "Position mode", it is only
designated for EDS47... devices.
Switchover to the menu mode

Pressing the MENU key, will change the display from the standard mode to
the menu mode. From the main menu you can link to the different sub men-
us.
Navigation within the menu

Select the desired menu item using the UP/DOWN keys. The selected menu
item is indicated by a flashing cursor. Press the ENTER key to open the as-
sociated sub menu.
Use the UP/DOWN keys again to select the desired parameters. Move the
cursor to the edit field by pressing the ENTER key.
If you have reached the end of the main menu list, it will be indicated by the
"Arrow UP" symbol.
Changing the parameters

When password protection is activated, indicated by the symbol "padlock
closed" , the first thing to enter is the correct password before the pa-
rameters can be changed using the UP/DOWN keys. Entering the correct
password once allows all parameters to be changed as long as you do not
leave the menu.
Changing the parameter usually has an immediate effect on the measuring
and alarm functions. The changed parameter is stored in a volatile memory
by pressing the ENTER or ESC key after returning to the sub menu (flashing
cursor in column 1). During menu operations, all measuring and alarm func-
tions carry on working as usual in the background.
Changing from the menu mode to the standard mode

Pressing the ESC key allows fast changing from the menu mode to the stand-
ard mode. Thus, the menu item "EXIT" need not to be activated. Automatic
switchover from the menu mode to the standard mode takes place when no

99 events with date and time stamp can be stored in the memory database.
The database is designed as a ring memory, i.e. the eldest entry is overwrit-
ten. Data is written into a non-volatile memory and therefore provides pro-
tection against voltage failure.
For each record the display indicates the actual record number, the total
number of records, the event message (see table below, right column), the
date and time. The first two records have a special meaning:
1. Last power on time.
2. Lowest measured insulation value RF since memory reset.

The response values (Alarm 1/2, prewarning and main alarm), the operating
principle of the alarm relays K1 and K2 (N.O = N/O operation, N.C = N/C
operation), the fault storage behaviour and the selection of the current out-
put between two different ranges are set in this menu.
5.4.1 Response values Alarm 1 and Alarm 2

The response values Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 are selected with the UP/DOWN
keys and stored with the ENTER key.
5.4.2 Starting the EDS system via the response values ALARM 1and ALARM 2
The EDS system is started when the value of the insulation resistance falls
below the lowest preset response value, i.e. below both alarm values.
When setting the A-ISOMETER response values, make sure that the lower
value of them is within a range which the EDS system is able to find. There-
fore it is recommended to set the A-ISOMETER response value according
to the response characteristic curves of the EDS system (Refer to page 80).
5.4.3 Operating principle of the alarm relays

K1/K2 are factory set to N.O Test, that means N/O operation. When the
supplement "Test" has been selected, the alarm relays switch over during a
manual self test.
If, for any reason, the alarm relays may not switch over during a manual self
test, the settings N.C or N.O are to be selected.
K1: N.C Test = N/C operation contacts 11-12-14, with relay test
(the alarm relay is energized during normal operation)
K1: N.O Test = N/O operation contacts 11-12-14, with relay test
(the alarm relay is deenergized during normal operation)
K1: N.C = N/C operation contacts 11-12-14, without relay test

5.5 ISO ADVANCED menu: Setting of the extended functions

5.5.1 External coupling device (AGH: no = factory setting)
Coupling devices cannot be connected to the IRDH575.
5.5.2 Selecting the system leakage capacitance range

This menu allows to select the maximum system leakage capacitance Cemax.
You can select between two different ranges: 150 F or 500 F. Adaptation
within the selected range is carried out automatically. Please note that the
basic measuring time will be increased to approximately 10 seconds when
the setting is Ce = 500 F. Please also consider Cemax for the EDS-System,
refer to curves at page 81. Factory setting = 150 F.
5.5.3 Changing the measuring principle from AMP to DC (Measure: AMP)

The DC measuring principle (reduced measuring time) is only suitable for
pure AC systems. Factory setting = AMP.
5.5.4 Setting the repetition time for automatic self tests (Autotest: 24h)
The time for the repetition of automatic self tests can either be set to 1 hour
or to 24 hours or can be deactivated. Factory setting = 24 h
5.5.5 Setting the real-time clock (Clock)

The setting of the real-time clock is the time base for the memory and for the
automatic self test. In case of failure of the supply voltage, the real-time clock
keeps running for approximately 30 days. When the device will be switched on
after this period, a flashing "C" appears on the display and the clock has to be
set again.
5.5.6 Setting the date (Date)

As well as the time, the date is required for the memory, too. In the event of
power supply failure, the date function is not influenced for at least 30 days.
If the device is switched on again after this period, a new setting of date and
time of the real-time clock is required.
5.5.7 Specifying the starting time of the automatic self test (Test)
If the 24h self test is activated in the ISO ADVANCED menu, it is possible to
set the time (hour) when the self test is to be carried out by means of the
"TEST: 12:00" sub menu. Then the self test is automatically carried out once
a day at a given time. If the 1 hour auto test has been selected, the self test
will be carried out at every full hour.

active until every EDS4...-12 has measured all channels once and when the test
current during the measurements is above 5 mA (EDS470) or 0.5 mA (EDS473).
EDS46... / 49... :
values ALARM 1 and 2, the EDS system is automatically activated. It remains
active for approximately 5 minutes when the test current during the measure-
ment is above 2 mA (EDS470) or 0.2 mA (EDS473).
auto
values ALARM 1 and 2, the EDS system is automatically activated and remains
activated as long as the test current is above 5 mA (0.5 mA). The EDS insulation
fault location process is cyclically interrupted for approximately 5 minutes (fac-
tory setting), i.e. for the time the A-ISOMETER is carrying out insulation fault
measurements.
5.6.3 System DC / 1 AC / 3 AC
The type of the system to be monitored are to be selected from this sub
menu:
DC = DC system
1 AC = single phase AC system
3 AC = three-phase AC system
Factory setting is 3AC!
5.6.4 maxPuls 1 / 2.5 / 10 / 25 / 50 mA:

This setting determines the maximum test current.
1 and 2.5 mA for EDS473 / 461 / 491 systems, preferably 2.5 mA.
1mA is recommended when sensitive electrical equipment is supplied by the sys-
tem, such as PLC controllers.
10, 25 and 50 mA for EDS470 / 460 / 490 systems, preferably 25 mA.
10 mA is recommended when sensitive equipment such as control relays is sup-
plied by the system. 50 mA should only be used in case of systems involving a lot
of parallel faults (factory setting 25 mA).
The test current of the IRDH575 is factory set to 25 mA.
46 TGH1364en/04.2007
Please note that the test current is to be set according to the type of
supply system.
Resulting from the type of supply system, the real test current in AC systems
is lower than the setting. The reduction factor is 0.5 in AC-Systems and 0.67
in 3AC systems. Therefore, the test current setting 1 mA for EDS473 and
10 mA for EDS470 devices is not admissible in AC systems.
A list of possible test current settings for IRDH575 in relation to the type of
supply system and insulation fault evaluators is given in the table below:

proceeds to the next channel.
If disturbances occur during the measurement due to system interferences
( signalled by the "Fault"-LED at EDS47...), the number of measurements per chan-
nel will automatically be increased by the preset number n, that means
4 + n measurements per channel are carried out in this case. The n-times elonga-
tion of the measuring time per channel will automatically be stopped, when the
fault is eliminated.

This menu item is used to set the BMS bus address of the IRDH575. Take
care that the bus address is not assigned twice.
The device is factory set to address 1 and hence acts as a Master.
If several IRDH575 are operated on one BMS bus, the addresses of other
A-ISOMETERs must be assigned one after the other, since only one de-
vice may represent the Master.
5.9.2 ISO Monitor

This function allows to query the current measured value as well as the mes-
sages of all bus-capable A-ISOMETERs existing in the BMS network. After
selecting the bus address, the entire information stored by the selected de-
vice is indicated on the display
The display indication is structured similar to the standard indication, but in-
stead of the indication of the measuring pulse, the selected bus address is
indicated. Without pressing a key, the indication changes to the standard in-
dication of the IRDH575 after about five minutes.
If there is no information available from the selected A-ISOMETER, the
message "!!!!NO DATA!!!!" will be displayed.

6. Serial interfaces
6.1 RS485 interface with BMS protocol

The RS485 interface is galvanically isolated from the device electronics and
current output serves as a physical transmission medium for the BMS proto-
col. If several IRDH575 or other bus-capable devices are interconnected in a
network via the BMS bus, the BMS bus must be terminated at both ends with
a 120 resistor. (Switch S1 = ON).
An RS485 network that is not terminated, is likely to get instable and may
result in malfunctions. Only the first and the last device in one line may be
terminated. Devices in between must not be terminated with 120 (switch
S1 = OFF). Hence, stub feeders in the network must not be terminated. The
length of the stub feeders is restricted to 1 meter.

Serial interfaces
6.2 Topology RS485 network

The optimum topology for the RS485 network is a daisy-chain connection.
In this connection, device 1 is connected to device 2, device 2 to device 3,
device 3 to device n etc. The RS485 network represents a continuous path
without branches.
6.2.1 Correct arrangement

Three examples for correct arrangement:
6.2.2 Wrong arrangement

Three examples for wrong arrangement:
6.2.3 Wiring
A suitable type of cable for the wiring of the RS485 network is:
screened cable, core diameter 0.6 mm
(e.g. J-Y(ST)Y 2x0.6), screen on one side connected to earth (PE).
Connection to the terminals A and B.
The number of bus nodes is restricted to 32 devices. When more devices are
to be connected, Bender recommends to use an RS485 repeater DI1.

Serial interfaces
6.3 BMS protocol (BMS)

This protocol is an essential part of the Bender Measuring Device Interface.
Data transmission generally makes use of ASCII characters.
Interface data are:
Baud rate: 9600 baud
transmission: 1 start bit, 7 data bits, 1 parity bit, 1 stop bit (1, 7, E, 1)
Parity: even
Checksum: sum of all transmitted bytes = 0 (without CR and LF)
The BMS bus protocol works according to the MASTER-SLAVE principle.

That means that one device represents the MASTER while all other bus nodes
are SLAVES. It is important that only one MASTER is present in each net-
work. All bus nodes are identified by a unique address. The MASTER scans
all other devices on the bus cyclically, listens to their signals and then carries
out specific commands. Bus address 1 must be assigned to the Master, which
can be one IRDH575 device.
6.3.1 BMS Master

A Master can query all warning and operating messages from a slave.
If the bus address 1 has been selected for the IRDH575, this device automat-
ically represents the Master, that means that all addresses between 1 and 150
are cyclically scanned via the BMS bus for alarm and operating messages. If
the Master receives no answer from five subsequent addresses, the scanning
cycle is started again. If the Master recognizes incorrect answers from a slave,
the fault message "Fault RS485" is issued by the Master.

******************
TGH1364en/04.2007 65
Serial interfaces
Faults may be caused when:

addresses are assigned twice
a second master exists on the BMS bus
interference signals occur on the bus lines
a defective device is connected to the bus
terminating resistors are not activated
6.3.2 BMS-Slave
In a BMS network for each slave an individual address between 2 and 30
slave has to be selected. There may be no gaps of more than five subse-
quent addresses, so that all slaves can be scanned by the Master. For
IRDH575 a BMS address can be selected from the address range 1 ... 30.
When assigning the addresses, also other devices such as the EDS4... must
be considered.
The correct reception of BMS data is indicated by a flashing point on the dis-
play on the right of the measuring pulse indication.

6.3.5 Commissioning of an RS485 network with BMS protocol

Connect the terminals A and B of all bus nodes in one line
Switch the terminating resistors on at the beginning and end of the RS485 net-
work or in case of devices without a terminating switch, at the end of the bus,
connect a 120 resistor to the terminals A and B.
Switch the supply voltage US on.
Determine one IRDH575 as the Master and assign address 1.
Assign the addresses (2...150) successively without gaps to all other IRDH575
devices and other bus nodes (see table below).
Check whether a flashing point appears on all devices with a display
(BMS commands are being received). Other devices use an RS485 LED to signal
the bus traffic.
The sub menu "ISO-Monitor" in the COM SETUP menu allows insulation values of
the A-ISOMETERs to be queried. Before starting the query, the address of the A-
ISOMETER has to be entered.
In the "EDS Test menu all preset Slave addresses can be checked

A reduction of the response sensitivity at system leakage capacitances great-
er than the maximum permissible value of Ce taken from the curves 2a and
2b. The indication of the test current on the IRDH575 display in case of high
system leakage capacitance also changes.
When considering the curves, a point to be taken into account is that the sum
of the pre-capacitances upstream the measuring current transformer must
amount to at least 50 % of the total capacitance. Otherwise it may result in
wrong alarm messages.
A value of 20 000 FV/400 V = 50 F is taken for the system leakage capac-
itance. Exceeding the limiting value may result in false trippings.

Limiting values for the insulation fault location system EDS473

In order to start automatic insulation fault location, the resistance values set
for ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 at a given nominal voltage must not be too high.
Otherwise, the EDS test current will not be sufficient for the detection of the
insulation fault. Determine the suitable values for your installation by means
of the characteristic curves

Curve 6:
When the system leakage capacitances are greater than the maximum per-
missible value for Ce, as shown in curve 5, the response sensitivity decreases.
The indication of the test current on the IRDH575 display in case of high sys-
tem leakage capacitance also changes.
When considering the curves, a point to be taken into account is that the sum
of the pre-capacitances upstream of the individual measuring current trans-
former must amount to at least 50 % of the maximum total capacitance. Oth-
erwise, it may result in wrong alarm messages.
A value of 300FV/230V = 1.3 F is taken to be the maximum system leakage
capacitance value. When the limiting value is exceeded, false tripping may
occur.
