1. RECEIPT OF THE INSTRUMENT & START UP
Check that the configuration of the instrument (as indicated on the case bottom label) corresponds to your order.
Mount the instrument on a DIN rail.
Connect the power supply (see the wiring diagrams). The tension LED lights up.
The instrument now starts to measure, it has a standard configuration (except specific indications on your order).
The instrument can now be programmed, preferably before connecting the measure signals.
Now connect all the signals: see the wiring diagrams.
If not specified, the communication parameters for the PC software or the digital output are the following:
slave number = 250 speed = 9600 bauds without parity 1 stop bit
2. ORGANISATION OF THE FRONT FACE
IN CASE OF PROBLEM …
If the instrument does not light up: Check the presence of power supply (even for a self-powered instrument).
If the instrument does not measure: Check the presence of the measure signals.
Check the programming.
If the green LED is blinking: The instrument is detecting an error, connect the console or the PC software for
the analysis.
DIN rail
ON: Visualisation of the setting on tension /
error
COM:
Visualisation
of the communications
REL: Visualisation of the relays status
Connectics for the programming
micro-console / shifted display.
DIN plug: PC connection
DO NOT DISMOUNT THE FRONT FACE IF THE
MEASURE SIGNALS AND THE POWER SUPPLY
ARE CONNECTED

6. USE OF THE « CUT OFF »
The « cut off » is a programming option of the instrument which allows setting the display to 0 separately for low U
and I values (see the chapter « programming of the CUT OFF »).
Once the menu is validated the instrument will measure the values on its inputs and enforce the display to 0 for any
values lower than the « cut off » programmed in % of the caliber (1 or 5A, 100VL-N / 175VL-L or 330VL-N / 600VL-L).
7. LIST OF THE ERRORS
When the green LED on the front face is blinking, the instrument is indicating an error.
The number of the error can be seen connecting the micro-console or the PC software.
Err nr
Types of errors
Notes
0
Programme memory deleted Contact after sales
2
Wiring error Wrong wiring of the U / I measure signals
4
Current caliber overstepping CC’s not adapted
8
Voltage caliber overstepping VT’s not adapted – wiring error – error in the
programming of the network type
32
Configuration lost Re-programme the instrument
64
Calibration lost Return to the factory for re-calibration

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE µCONSOLE
The µconsole allows displaying the measures of the instrument.
It also allows modifying the configuration. It can be connected either before setting the
instrument on tension or while it is operating.
2. INFORMATION RELATING TO THE INSTRUMENT- FEATURES
The instrument will display its features on the setting on tension (if the µconsole is connected) or after the key
menu (M) is pressed.
Type of the instrument: TAI60
Programme version
Options: 2R 2 relay outputs
3. READING OF THE MEASURES
3.1. Changing of displayed parameter
Press the above keys to switch to the next/previous parameter(s). If 2 measures are being displayed, the unit will
appear on the side of the parameter name. Otherwise, it will appear under the value.
The measures are displayed on 4 digits, the energies on 6.
4. ACCESS TO THE MAIN MENU
In the menus, the key (M) is used as a « back » key.
The key menu allows entering the configuration.
The instrument will show its features, and then open access to the main menu (in reading only).
Access / exit of the configuration menu:
- Configuration in readin / writing (code 111)
- Revert to the previous menu or revert to the measure
To modify the configuration enter the code 111:
« PROGRAM » « CODE » « 111 »
Exit and save by pressing Muntil the display shows
« SAVE » and validate « YES »
Increase / navigation
following measure
Decrease / navigation
previous measure
Validation
Switching to the next character for an entering

Page 8
The navigation keys allow selecting the menus:
To enter the mode programming: validate the choice « CODE » in the menu « PROGRAM », and enter the code
111.
5. CONFIGURATION OF THE MEASURES (MENU « INPUTS »)
5.1. Choice of the measure network « NETWRK », « TYPE »
SINGLE Single phase
3W BAL 3-phase balanced without neutral
4W BAL 3-phase balanced with neutral
If a mesh voltage is connected on the instrument, programme the network 3W BAL.
If a single voltage is connected on the instrument, connect the network 4W BAL.
5.2. Choice of the ranges « RANGE »
Voltage range « RANG U »
173V 173VL-N(4W BAL or 1PH) 173VL-L(3W BAL)
600V 600VL-N(4W BAL or 1PH) 600VL-L(3W BAL)
Current range « RANG I »
1A 1A
5A 5A
5.3. Entering of the CT/VT ratios « CT VT »
PRI VT / SEC VT
0230 . Programming of the VT primary and its unit (V or kV)
V Programming of the VT secondary, without unit
(Do not programme a ratio but the real values)
PRI CT / SEC CT
0005 . Programming of the CT primary and its unit (A or kA)
A Programming of the CT secondary, without unit
(Do not programme a ratio but the real values)
PROGRAM Modification of the language, entering in mode programming.
INPUTS Configuration of the measure inputs.
RS-485 

Configuration of the digital data link RS485 (if option present)
Validate to enter the chosen menu.
Configuration of the instrument outputs (relay, analog).
IMPORTANT:
programme the VT ratios in single voltage (if you
have 15kV/100V VTs between lines, programme 8.33kV / 57.7V
for the ratios)
