to install, commission and run a device or system.
Risk of electrocution due to electric shock!
Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of:
• An electric shock
• Damage to the electrical installation
• Destruction of the device
Before installing and connecting the device, make sure that the in-
stallation has been de-energised. Observe the rules for working on elec-
trical installations.
Danger as a result of excessive locating current or excessive locating
voltage!
An excessive locating current of the internal locating current injector may
damage sensitive loads (e.g. control circuits) or trigger unwanted switch-
ing operations. Select a low locating current for these systems. In case of
doubt, please contact our service department.
DANGER
DANGER
Risk of electric shock!
When opening the device, you may come into contact with live parts.
Switch off the mains voltage before opening the device!
Make sure that the basic settings meet the requirements of the IT system.
Persons without the required expertise, in particular children, must not
have access to or contact with the ISOMETER®.
Make sure that the operating voltage is correct!
Prior to insulation and voltage tests, the ISOMETER® must be disconnected
from the IT system for the duration of the test. In order to check the correct
connection of the device, a functional test has to be carried out before start-
ing the system.
In the event of an alarm message of the ISOMETER®, the insulation fault
should be eliminated as quickly as possible.
If the ISOMETER® is installed inside a control cabinet, the insulation fault
message must be audible and/or visible to attract attention.
When using ISOMETER®s in IT systems, make sure that only one active ISO-
METER® is connected in each interconnected system. If IT systems are in-
terconnected via coupling switches, make sure that ISOMETER®s not
currently used are disconnected from the IT system and deactivated. IT
systems coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the insu-
lation monitoring process so that a central control of the different ISOME-
TER®s is required.

2.4 Address setting and termination
Correct address setting and termination is essential for proper functioning of the
iso1685… series insulation monitoring device.
Ensure correct address setting and termination of the device!
Prevent measurement errors!
When a monitored IT system contains galvanically coupled DC circuits, an
insulation fault can only be detected correctly if the rectifier valves (e.g.
rectifier diode, thyristors, IGBTs, frequency inverters, …) carry a minimum
current of > 10 mA.
Unspecified frequency range
When connecting to an IT system with frequency components below the
specified frequency range, the response times and response values may
differ from the indicated technical data. However, depending on the ap-
plication and the selected measurement method, continuous insulation
monitoring is also possible in this frequency range.
There is no influence on the insulation monitoring for IT systems with fre-
quency components above the specified frequency range, e.g. within the
range of typical switching frequencies of frequency inverters (2…20 kHz).
Risk of bus errors!
Double assignment of addresses on the respective BMS busses can cause
serious malfunctions.
CAUTION
2.5 Intended use
The device is used for monitoring the insulation resistance in large power supply systems
designed as IT systems. The specific measurement technique (AMP+) monitors the insu-
lation resistance also in installations where extremely high system leakage capacitances
to earth exist due to interference suppression methods. The adjustment also to high sys-
tem leakage capacitances occurs automatically.
The device generates locating current pulses required for insulation fault location. That
allows the localisation of the insulation fault using permanently installed or mobile insu-
lation fault locators.
Intended use also implies:
• The observation of all information in the operating manual
• Compliance with test intervals
In order to meet the requirements of applicable standards, the equipment must be ad-
justed to local equipment and operating conditions by means of customised parameter
settings. Please heed the limits of the range of application indicated in the technical data.
Any other use than that described in this manual is regarded as improper.
Only qualified personnel are permitted to carry out the work necessary
to install, commission and run a device or system.

3.2 Product description
The ISOMETER® is an insulation monitoring device for IT systems in accordance with IEC
61557-8 and IEC 61557-9. It is applicable for use in AC/DC systems.
3.3 Function description
The insulation monitoring device ISOMETER® iso1685DP-425 continuously monitors the
entire insulation resistance of an IT system during operation and triggers an alarm when
the value falls below a preset response value. To obtain a measurement, the device has
to be connected between the IT system (unearthed system) and the protective earth con-
ductor (PE). A measuring current in the A range is superimposed onto the system which
is recorded and evaluated by a microcontrolled measuring circuit. The measuring time
depends on the selected measurement methods, the system leakage capacitance, the in-
sulation resistance and possible system-related disturbances. In addition, it features an
integrated locating current injector for insulation fault location.
The response values and other parameters are set using a commissioning wizard or via
different setup menus using the device buttons and a high-resolution graphic LC display.
The selected settings are stored in a permanent fail-safe memory. Different languages
can be selected for the setup menus and the messages indicated on the display.
The device utilises a clock for storing fault messages and events in a history memory with
time and date stamp. The settings can be protected against unauthorised modifications
by a password.
The ISOMETER® cannot take over the master function. If there is no master in the system,
the device can act as a backup master and communicate with the slaves in the system.

FunctionFunction

3.3.1 Insulation monitoring
For insulation monitoring, a pulsating AC measuring voltage is superimposed onto the IT
system. The measuring pulse consists of positive and negative rectangular impulses of
the same amplitude. The period duration depends on the system leakage capacitances in
each case and the insulation resistances of the system to be monitored.
Abb. 3.1: Pulse sequence of the measuring voltage for insulation fault monitoring
An insulation fault between the IT system and earth closes the measuring circuit. If the in-
sulation resistance between system and earth falls below the set response values Ran1
and Ran2 (response value Ran1 can be set equal or higher than Ran2), the associated alarm
relays K1 (11, 12, 14) or K2 (21, 22, 24) switch. Detected insulation faults are signalled to
other bus devices via the BMS bus. In addition, the alarm LEDs Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 light up.
3.3.2 Insulation fault location
For insulation fault location, a suitable locating current is superimposed onto the faulty
IT system with which insulation fault locators of the EDS… series can locate insulation
faults. The ISOMETER® utilises an internal locating current injector with IL≤50 mA DC.

L
t
If the EDS function is activated, the ISOMETER® starts the insulation fault location after the
value has fallen below the response values Ran1 and Ran2. When starting the insulation
fault location, the LED "PGH on" signals the locating current pulse.
When permanently installed insulation fault locators (with master capability) such as
EDS460-D or EDS490-D are used, control and synchronisation of the locating current in-
jector is carried out via the BMS master. For this purpose, the ISOMETER® and the insula-
tion fault locator have to communicate with the insulation fault locator via the BMS bus.
Parameterisation of the insulation fault location
By means of the BMS gateway, e.g. the COM460IP or the terminal program, different
modes can be selected via the BMS bus:
• off:
Switch off insulation fault location
• auto (automatic):
Factory setting = Insulation fault location and pause, alternately 5 minutes each.
During each pause, the device automatically switches to insulation fault measure-
ment
• on (permanent):
The locating current required for insulation fault location is permanently supplied to
the device
In addition, the value of the locating current required for insulation fault location can be
set to 1…50 mA via BMS.
3.3.3 Assignment of the alarm relays K1, K2, K3
K1 switches when the value falls below the alarm response value Ran1
(insulation resistance).
K2 switches when the value falls below the alarm response value Ran2
(insulation resistance).
K3 switches in the event of a device error or a connection fault.
During the insulation fault location process, the function of insulation re-
sistance measurement is deactivated and the coupling is disconnected
from the mains.

3.3.4 Deactivating the device
When the device is deactivated, the coupling unit of the device is galvanically isolated
from the system being monitored.
The device does not measure the insulation resistance, the message Device inactive ap-
pears on the display. The IT system is NOT being monitored!
The device uncouples itself from the system to be monitored through an internal system
isolating switch.
Activation or deactivation is done via
• a digital input
• the menu item Alarm settings
• the BMS bus
The standby mode of the ISOMETER®, for example, enables application in coupled sys-
tems, since in interconnected systems only one insulation monitoring device is allowed
to be connected in each system.
3.3.5 Measured value transmission
All recorded measured values, operating messages and alarms are made available via the
BMS bus.
3.4 History memory
All warnings, alarms and device errors are stored in the internal history memory with date
and time stamp. The time the event started, the time of acknowledgement and the end
of the event are recorded. The history memory can be called up and reset via the device
menu (see "History" on page 37).
3.5 Self test
3.5.1 Self test after connection to the supply voltage
Once connected to the supply voltage, all internal measurement functions, the compo-
nents of the process control such as data and parameter memory as well as the connec-
tions to earth are checked. The self test is completed after approx. 60 s. Afterwards, the
normal measurement mode begins.
If a device error or a connection fault is detected, the corresponding alarm will be indicat-
ed in the display as well as via the alarm relay K3 (31-32-34). This relay continuously oper-
ates in N/C operation, i.e. it de-energises even in case of a complete device failure.
During this self test, when the device is being started, the alarm relays are not switched.
The test has been run and the result was positive.
The test has been run and the result was negative.
