Use and Programming Manual
ENGLISH
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual enables the instrument to be installed, configured and used in its main functions. A
second manual with advanced features may be found in the CD ROM in the box.
Both publications are not intended for general use, but for qualified technicians.
By this term, a professional figure is intended with specific technical qualifications, authorised to
act in accordance with the safety standards relating to the dangers posed by electric current.
This person must also have basic first aid training and be in possession of Body Protection equi-
pment.
WARNING!
It is strictly forbidden for anyone who is not in possession of the above
mentioned to install or use the instrument.
The instrument is made in compliance with the European Community directives in force, as well
as in compliance with the technical standards implementing these requirements, as certified by
the EC mark on the instrument and in the publication.
Using the instrument for purposes other than those intended, deducible by the manual content
is strictly forbidden.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the instrument and/or technical specifi-
cations included in this publication.
It declines all liability for any use of the instrument which is different from that described in this
manual and in the Installation and Configuration Manual, or for the lack /imperfect application of
the reported instructions.
The information contained in this manual may not be divulged to third parties. Any duplication of
this manual, either partial or total, any duplication obtained by photocopying, or by other means,
also electronically, without written authorization from the manufacturer, violates the terms of copyri-
ght and is punishable by law.
The information contained in this manual and in the Installation and configuration manual has
been carefully checked at the time of publication. However, the manufacturer does not accept
liability for any inaccuracy, errors, missing updates, and reserves the right, to make changes to
the instrument and / or documentation without prior notice.
Any brands quoted in the publication belong to the legitimate registered owners.
NOTE
This manual refers to the complete instrument version. Some instrument
pages may not be available if the instrument was purchased without some
functions.

2-1 GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
Use and Programming Manual
ENGLISH
2. GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
In the manual and on the instrument, some instructions are highlighted by graphic symbols to
draw the reader’s attention to the operational dangers.
The following graphics are used:
DANGER!
This warning indicates the possible presence of voltage exceeding 1kV
on the marked terminals (even for short periods).
WARNING!
This warning indicates possible occurrence of an event which could lead
to serious damage or considerable damage to the instrument if adequate
precautionary countermeasures are not taken
ATTENTION!
This warning indicates possible occurrence of an event which may lead
to slight damage or material damage if adequate precautionary measures
are not taken.
NOTE
This warning indicates important information which must be read care-
fully.

PRECAUTIONS
Use and Programming Manual
3. PRECAUTIONS
During normal operation the instrument is connected to sources of electrical voltage which are
potentially dangerous for the operator. Voltage is present on the connection terminals of the power
supply wires, on the voltage and current transformers, and on the digital and analog inputs and
outputs.
WARNING!
Any damage following electric shock may result in serious accidents and
cause death.
For this reason, only specifically trained specialized personnel may install, programme and use
the instrument. The definition of “specialized personnel” may be found in Chapter 1.
Once installation has been carried out, the terminals to which the wires are connected, must not
be accessible.
The equipment is in compliance with the 89/366/EEC, 72/23/EEC regulations and subsequent
updates. However a magnetic field and radio interference may be generated if it is not installed
properly. For this purpose, follow the EMC regulations for electromagnetic compatibility and the
instructions in the Installation and Configuration manual.

Power factor
(and COSφ)
The figure below shows the geometric representation of active and reactive power and power
factor, in compliance with the EN61268 Standard.
NOTES:
1. The chart refers to the current vector “I” (on the RH-side).
2. The direction of the voltage vector “V” changes depending on the phase displacement angle Ø.
3. The displacement angle Ø between voltage “V” and current “I” is positive in the trigonometric
expression (counter-clockwise).
5.2.3 Power Factor Compensation
This function calculates the power of the PF compensation capacitors (var), which is necessary
to raise the measured COSφto the requested value (Target).
1. Press ENTER key to set a new Target value
2. Choose one of the available values using UP and DOWN keys (the
available values are: 0.800; 0.850; 0.900; 0.910; 0.920; 0.930; 0.940;
0.950; 0.960; 0.970; 0.980; 0.990; 1.000)
3. To confirm the selected value press ENTER key
Depending on the selected target value and the Instantaneous COSφvalues, in the “var” column
the instrument calculates the reactive power to be compensated.
