Safety instructions
2. Safety instructions
2.1 General safety instructions
Part of the device documentation in addition to this manual is the enclosed "Safety
instructions for Bender products".
2.2 Work activities on electrical installations.
If the device is used outside the Federal Republic of Germany, the applicable local stand-
ards and regulations must be complied with. The European standard EN 50110 can be
used as a guide.
Read the operating manual before starting to install, connect and com-
mission the device. After successful commissioning, keep the manual
within easy reach for future reference.
Only qualified personnel are permitted to carry out the work necessary
to install, commission and run a device or system.
DANGER
Risk of electrocution due to electric shock!
Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of:
• A fatal 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.
2.3 Device-specific safety information
2.4 Intended use
The ISOMETER® iso685… monitors the insulation resistance of unearthed AC/DC main
circuits (IT systems) with nominal system voltages of AC 0…690 V or DC 0…1000 V.
DC components existing in AC/DC systems do not influence the operating characteristics.
A separate supply voltage allows de-energised systems to be monitored too. The ma-
ximum permissible system leakage capacitance is 0…1000 µF, depending on the profile.
Intended use also implies:
• Reading and observing all information in the operating manual
• Compliance with test intervals
In order to meet the requirements of applicable standards, customised parameter set-
tings must be made on the equipment in order to adapt it to local equipment and opera-
ting conditions. Please heed the limits of the area of application indicated in the technical
specifications.
Any other use than that described in this manual is regarded as improper.
Installation inside a control cabinet
If the ISOMETER® is installed inside a control cabinet, the insulation fault
message must be audible and/or visible to attract attention.
IT systems with several ISOMETER®s
Make sure that only one active ISOMETER® is connected in each intercon-
nected system. If IT systems are interconnected via coupling switches,
make sure that ISOMETER®s not currently used are disconnected from the
IT system and deactivated. For IT systems coupled via diodes or capaci-
tances a central control of the different ISOMETER®s is required.
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.

3.2 Product description
3.2.1 General product description
The ISOMETER® is an insulation monitoring device for IT systems in accordance with
IEC 61557-8.
It is universally applicable in AC, 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems. AC systems may include
extensive DC-supplied loads (such as rectifiers, inverters, variable-speed drives).
3.2.2 Special ISOMETER® characteristics
The ISOMETER® iso685–D–x belongs to the iso685 device family and features an integrat-
ed display. This manual applies in full to this ISOMETER®.
The ISOMETER® iso685–S–x is the sensor variant from the iso685 device family. The only
difference between this variant and the ISOMETER® isoHR685-D-B is that it does not have
a display. The ISOMETER® iso685–S–P must be used in combination with a front panel
through which it is operated. The operation of the front panel is equal to the operation of
the ISOMETER® with an integrated display, which is described in this manual.
Hereafter, the ISOMETER®s with integrated display are described. This description is sim-
ilar to the combination of ISOMETER® sensor variants and the front panel FP200. The
devices to which this manual applies will be referred to as ISOMETER®s hereafter.
3.3 Function description
The insulation monitoring device continuously monitors the entire insulation resistance
of an IT system during operation and triggers an alarm when the value falls below a pre-
set response value. To obtain a measurement the device has to be connected between
the IT system (unearthed system) and the protective earth conductor (PE). A measuring
current in the µA range is superimposed onto the system which is recorded and evalu-
ated by a microprocessor-controlled measuring circuit. The measuring time is dependent
on the selected measurement profiles, the system leakage capacitance, the insulation re-
sistance and possible system-related disturbances.
The response values and other parameters are set using a commissioning wizard as well
as via different setup menus using the device buttons and a high-resolution graphical LC
display. The selected settings are stored in a permanent fail-safe memory. Different
languages can be selected for the setup menus as well as 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 password protected to prevent
unauthorised changes.
To ensure proper functioning of connection monitoring, the device requires the setting
of the system type 3AC, AC or DC and the required use of the appropriate terminals L1/+,
L2, L3/-.
Only the sensor variant (i.e. ISOMETER® iso685–S–P) can be connected to
the front panel. Connection to the display variant (i.e ISOMETER® iso685–
D–P) is not possible.

The insulation monitoring device iso685… is able to measure the insulation resistance re-
liably and precisely in all common IT systems (unearthed systems). Due to various appli-
cations, system types, operating conditions, application of variable-speed drives, high
system leakage capacitances etc., the measurement technique must be able to meet var-
ying requirements in order to ensure an optimised response time and relative uncertain-
ty. Therefore different measuring profiles can be selected with which the device can
optimally adjusted.
If the preset response value falls below the value of Alarm 1 and/or Alarm 2, the associat-
ed alarm relays switch, the LEDs ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 light and the measured value is
shown on the LC display (in case of insulation faults in DC systems, a trend graph for the
faulty conductor L+/L- is displayed). If the fault memory is activated, the fault message
will be stored. Pressing the RESET button resets the insulation fault message, provided
that the current insulation resistance displayed at the time of resetting is at least 25 %
above the actual response value.
As additional Information, the quality of the measuring signal and the time required to
update the measured value are shown on the display. A poor signal quality (1-2 bars) may
be an indication that the wrong measurement profile has been selected.
The ISOMETER® has an internal system isolating switch, which makes it possible to oper-
ate several ISOMETER®s in coupled IT systems. For this purpose, the ISOMETER®s are con-
nected via an Ethernet bus. The integrated ISOnet function ensures that only one
ISOMETER® is actively measuring at a time, while the other devices are completely isolat-
ed from the system and waiting in standby mode for measuring permission.
The ISOMETER® is able to synchronise itself with other ISOMETER®s. This makes it possible
to monitor capacitive coupled IT systems without interfering with each other.
3.4 Interfaces
• Communication protocol Modbus TCP
• Communication protocol Modbus RTU
• BCOM for communication of Bender devices via Ethernet
• BS bus for communication of Bender devices (RS-485)
• isoData for recording and managing measured values
• Integrated web server for reading out measured values and setting parameters
3.5 Self test
After switching on the supply voltage, the ISOMETER® automatically and continuously
checks all internal measuring functions, the components of the process control such as
the data and parameter memory, as well as the connections to the IT system and earth.
The self test can also be activated manually by means of the test button to check the func-
tions of the relays (depending on the configuration) or it can be selected via the "Control"
menu (refer to „Control“).
If the relays are checked during the self-test, they switch for 2 seconds.
The progress of the manual self test is shown on the LC display by a bar graph. Depending
on the conditions in the IT system being monitored, the self test is completed after 15...20
seconds. The device then returns to the standard mode (measurement mode) and the ac-
tual measured value will be displayed after the measuring time has expired. The display
shows the message
Initial measurement until the first valid value is measured (refer to
„Initial measurement“).
If a fault is detected during the self test, the respective LEDs of the device light (refer to
„Alarm messages“). In addition, the respective message will be indicated on the display
and a previously programmed output will provide the respective signal.

DANGER
Risk of electrocution due to electric shock!
Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of:
• A fatal electric shock
• Damage to the electrical installation
• Destruction of the device
Before installing and connecting the device, make sure that the ins-
tallation has been de-energised. Observe the rules for working on elec-
trical installations.
DANGER
Risk of electric shock!
High voltages may be present at terminals "L1/+" to "L3/-". Direct contact
with these will likely result in electrocution.
• Therefore, the device is only to be operated with mounted and locked
terminal covers.
• If the device is connected to a live IT system via terminals "L1/+", "L2",
"L3/-", do not disconnect terminals "KE" and "E" from the protective
conductor ("PE").
• Connect terminals "KE" and "E" individually to the protective earth con-
ductor "PE".
WARNING
Injury, fire and damage to property due to a short circuit!
According to DIN VDE 0100-430, devices used to protect against short cir-
cuits when terminals "L1/+", "L2" und "L3/-" are coupled to the IT system to
be monitored can be omitted if the wiring is designed in such a manner
that the risk of a short circuit is reduced to a minimum. Ensure short-cir-
cuit-proof and earth-fault-proof wiring.
CAUTION
Provide line protection!
According to DIN VDE 0100-430, line protection shall be provided for the
supply voltage.
Risk of injury from sharp-edged terminals!
Risk of lacerations.
Touch the enclosure and the terminals with due care.
Ensure disconnection from the IT system!
When insulation or voltage tests are to be carried out, the device must be
isolated from the system for the test period. Otherwise the device may be
damaged.
Property damage due to improper installation!
Make sure that only one insulation monitoring device is connected in
each conductively connected system. If several devices are connected, the
device does not work and does not signal insulation faults. This can da-
mage the installation.
High load currents can result in property damage and injury. Therefore,
do not apply any load current to the terminals. The connecting lines "L1/
+", "L2", "L3/-" to the system to be monitored must be designed as spur li-
nes.
Failure to connect the device as illustrated in the manual leads to deviating
technical data and function restrictions.
Check proper connection!
Prior to commissioning the installation, check that the device has been
properly connected and check the device functions. Perform a functional
test using an earth fault via a suitable resistance.
Prevent measurement errors!
When a monitored AC system contains galvanically coupled DC circuits,
the following applies: An insulation fault can only be detected correctly
when the rectifier valves carry a minimum current of > 10 mA.
For UL applications:
Use 60/75 °C copper lines only!
For UL and CSA applications, the supply voltage must be protected via 5 A
fuses.

Voltage supply via external power supply units
In case of external supply (24 V) the device can be supplied via "A1+"/"A2"
– OR via "X1". In case of supply via "A1+"/"A2", make sure that +24 V are
applied to "A1/+" and that "A2/-" is connected to "GND" (ground).
Back-up fuse voltage supply
If the device is supplied via an external power supply unit, the back-up fu-
se Fback-up at the connections "A1/+ A2/-" must be selected so that the fee-
ding power supply unit is able to trip the DC-compatible back-up fuse.
Example: A back-up fuse of 650 mA/T is recommended when using a 24-V
power supply unit (min. 1 A).
Emission requirements for external voltage supply
External power supply units that supply the ISOMETER® via "X1" must
meet the immunity and emission requirements of the relevant application
standard. Connection cables longer than 1 m must be shielded.
