2. Safety notes
Device may only be disposed in a professional manner!
The installation and commissioning should only be carried out by trained personnel.
Check the following points before commissioning:
– that the maximum values for all the connections are not exceeded, see "Technical data"
section,
– that the connection wires are not damaged, and that they are not live during wiring,
– that the power flow direction and the phase rotation are correct.
The instrument must be taken out of service if safe operation is no longer possible (e.g. visible
damage). In this case, all the connections must be switched off. The instrument must be
returned to the factory or to an authorized service dealer.
It is forbidden to open the housing and to make modifications to the instrument. The instrument
is not equipped with an integrated circuit breaker. During installation check that a labeled switch
is installed and that it can easily be reached by the operators.
Unauthorized repair or alteration of the unit invalidates the warranty.
3. Device overview
3.1 Brief description
The LINAX PQ3000/PQ5000 is a comprehensive instrument for the universal measurement and
monitoring in power systems. A full parameterization of all functions of the device is possible directly at
the device or via web browser. The PQ3000 fulfills all requirements of a class A device in accordance with
the power quality standard IEC 61000-4-30 Ed.3.
Using additional, optional components the opportunities of the device may be extended. You may choose
from I/O extensions, communication interfaces and uninterruptible power supply. The nameplate on the
device gives further details about the present version.
3.2 Available measurement data
The device provides measurements in the following subcategories:
a) Instantaneous values: Present TRMS values and associated min/max values
b) Energy: Power mean-values with trend and history as well as energy meters. Mean-value
progressions (load profiles) and periodical meter readings are also available.
c) Harmonics: Total harmonic distortion THD/TDD, individual harmonics and their maximum values,
phase angle of the harmonics
d) Phasor diagram: Overview of all current and voltage phasors and phase sequence check
e) Waveform of current and voltage inputs
f) Events: State list of monitored alarms, chronological lists of PQ events and self-defined alarms /
events as well as operator events.
g) PQ statistic: Data of the statistical power quality analysis

4. Mechanical mounting
Please ensure that the operating temperature limits are not exceeded when
determining the place of mounting (place of measurement).
4.1 LINAX PQ3000
►The PQ3000 is designed for panel mounting
Dimensional drawing PQ3000:
See section 10
Panel cutout PQ3000
Mounting of the device
The device is suitable for panel widths up to 8mm.
a) Slide the device into the cutout from
the outside
b) From the side slide in the mounting
clamps into the intended openings and
pull them back about 2 mm
c) Tighten the fixation screws until the
device is tightly fixed with the panel
Demounting of the device
The demounting of the device may be performed only if all connected wires are out of service. Remove all
plug-in terminals and all connections of the current and voltage inputs. Pay attention to the fact, that
current transformers must be shortened before removing the current connections to the device. Then
demount the device in the opposite order of mounting.

5. Electrical connections
Ensure under all circumstances that the leads are free of potential
when connecting them!
5.1 General safety notes
Please observe that the data on the type plate must be adhered to!
The national provisions have to be observed in the installation and material selection of electric lines,
e.g. in Germany VDE 0100 “Conditions concerning the erection of heavy current facilities with rated
voltages below 1000 V”!

inputs.

PM 1001608 000 06 Device handbook LINAX PQ3000-PQ5000 12/90
5.4 Inputs
All voltage measurement inputs must originate at circuit breakers or fuses rated 5 Amps or
less. This does not apply to the neutral connector. You have to provide a method for
manually removing power from the device, such as a clearly labeled circuit breaker or a
fused disconnect switch.
When using voltage transformers you have to ensure that their secondary connections
never will be short-circuited.
No fuse may be connected upstream of the current measurement inputs!
When using current transformers their secondary connectors must be short-circuited
during installation and before removing the device. Never open the secondary circuit under
load.
The connection of the inputs depends on the configured system (connection type).

5.5 Power supply
A marked and easily accessible current limiting switch has to be arranged in the vicinity of
the device for turning off the power supply. Fusing should be 10 Amps or less and must be
rated for the available voltage and fault current.
5.6 Relays
When the device is switched off the relay contacts are de-energized, but dangerous
voltages may be present.
Relays are available for device versions with corresponding I/O extensions only.

5.7 Digital inputs
The device provides a standard passive digital input. In addition, depending on the device version, there
may be 4-channel passive or active digital input modules available.
Usage of the standard digital input
►Status input
►Meter tariff switching
Usage of the inputs of the optional input modules
►Counting input for pulses of meters for any kind of energy (pulse width 70…250ms)
►Operating feedback of loads for operating time counters
►Trigger and release signal for monitoring functions
Passive inputs (external power supply with 12 / 24 VDC required)
The power supply shall not exceed 30V DC!
PQ3000 PQ5000

5.8 Digital outputs
The device has two standard digital outputs for which an external 12 / 24 VDC power supply is required.
The power supply shall not exceed 30V DC!
Usage as digital output
►Alarm output
►State reporting
►Pulse output to an external counter (acc. EN62053-31)
►Remote controlled output
PQ3000 PQ5000
1) Recommended if input impedance of counter > 100 kΩ
Driving a counter mechanism
The width of the energy pulses can be selected within a range of 30 up to 250ms, but have to be adapted
to the external counter mechanism.
Electro mechanical meters typically need a pulse width of 50...100ms.
Electronic meters are partly capable to detect pulses in the kHz range. There are two types: NPN (active
negative edge) and PNP (active positive edge). For this device a PNP is required. The pulse width has to
be ≥30ms (acc. EN62053-31). The delay between two pulses has to be at least the pulse width. The
smaller the pulse width, the higher the sensitivity to disturbances.
