2. GENERAL INFORMATION
All MAP line equipment, including the MAP COMPACT, is designed to measure the quality of the electricity delivered by
and the perturbations occurring in the electrical grid. The instruments may be connected either to distribution or delivery
substations or directly to the end user's installation. Their purpose is to meet increasingly stringent requirements in
ensuring the quality of the supply of electricity.
Chauvin Arnoux Energy considers it important that the instruments should satisfy the conditions of class A per
measurement standard IEC61000-4-30. This is the user's assurance that the results of the measurements can be used in
the event of disputes concerning the quality of the electrical grid. It also guarantees a definite and reliable result that is
simple to evaluate given that the algorithms are specified.
The equipment of the MAP 600 line is built in accordance with the IMU® concept, which means that it can perform smart
analyses and summarize the information directly in the instrument.
This concept includes the basic philosophy that all of the devices must be able to perform an analysis with respect to the
standards in force, directly in each device, thereby substantially reducing the quantity of data to be transmitted to the
central analysis system and so cutting the time spent in communication.
The devices are thus perfectly suitable for connection to the electrical grid, starting from the level of customer delivery
points on level 1 (see Figure 1) and working all the way up through level 2, and so are suitable both for industrial
customers and for power transmission and distribution companies.
Figure 1 - Breakdown into levels of the distribution grid
MAP 600 devices are specifically designed to be installed at points of delivery, in delivery substations, and in distribution
substations, for measurements of the quality of electricity per the standards in force. The instruments are also designed
so that they can be placed in an electrical cabinet or a metering cabinet. It is important to bear in mind that the equipment
must be placed in a clean and dry environment and that the temperatures there must not vary too much.

3. INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT
3.1. INSTALLATION AT POINTS OF DELIVERY
For voltage and current quality measurements, MAP COMPACT instruments can be installed at points of delivery, in
parallel with the power meters, and can in some cases use the same communication line as the power meter. For this, it
is necessary to connect the current loop port (CL), specially adapted , directly to the terminal of the power meter. In this
way, the equipment can also use a LAN communication network.
If necessary, MAP COMPACT devices can also have their own remote reading links via a remote RS232 port, making it
possible to use an external communication device such as a modem (including a GSM modem).
For installation at medium-voltage (HTA) points of delivery, the instrument can be configured with the constants of the
measurement transformers (PT/CT), and the measuring instrument then shows the primary voltage and current values.
3.2. INSTALLATION IN DELIVERY SUBSTATIONS AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS
MAP COMPACT devices can also be installed in delivery substations and distribution substations. They have standard
RS232 ports that can be connected to communication equipment such as a computer, modem, etc. For communication
with a PC via RS-232, a Null- Modem converter must be added.
For high-voltage measurements by the measurement transformer (PT/CT), the devices can be configured with constants,
and will then calculate and deliver the primary voltage and current values at all times.
3.3. INSTALLATION VIA MEASUREMENT CT OR RELAY CT
MAP COMPACT devices are designed to be connected to external current transformers. The current inputs are designed
for a current of 1-5 AAC so that they can be connected to the rated secondary current of the current transformer. The
device can be connected either to the winding or to the measurement type or protection type current transformer. For
connection to the measurement transformer, the device can be connected directly to the secondary channel of the
measurement transformer (max. rated current 5A). For connection to a protection type transformer, we strongly
recommend using an auxiliary transformer so that overcurrents will not be applied directly to the current inputs of the
power quality analyzer
3.3.1. WHICH CURRENT TRANSFORMER (CT-TI) SHOULD BE CHOSEN?
The choice depends on what has priority in the measurement. If what is most important is the accuracy of the energy
measurement and of the measurement of the harmonics, the instrument must always be connected to the measurement
transformer (CT).
But this alternative does not give a very good picture of the fault current in the electrical grid, given that the cores of the
measurement transformers saturate above 5A (secondary).
If measurement of the fault current is the priority, it is better to connect the equipment to the protection transformer of the
relay. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to use an auxiliary transformer between the secondary of the protection
transformer and the current input of the MAP 620/640. That reduces the accuracy of measurement of the rated current,
but has the advantage of making it possible to measure high fault currents (approximately 20 times the rated current).
3.3.2. CONNECTION TO THE PROTECTION CT VIA A SEPARATE AUXILIARY MEASUREMENT TRANSFORMER
For connection to the measurement relay, a measurement transformer must be used because of the very high fault
currents that may occur, briefly as much as 20 times the rated current.

9
The Chauvin Arnoux Energy line includes devices just right for such cases - high-precision measurement transformers
(measurement range 0-100A) that can be connected directly and simply to MAP COMPACT devices. These transformers
are divided into two categories: the TCR21 fixed transformer and the TCC241 clip-on transformer.
The TCR21 current transformer is a family of two devices, between which the only difference is on the secondary: one is
at 1A and the other at 5A. Both are class 1 at 2.5 VA.
The TCR21 can be mounted on a DIN rail or on a backplane and allows the passage of a busbar measuring 15x10mm /
20x10mm / 25x5mm or of a cable 20mm in diameter.
Figure 2 - TCR21 external measurement transformer
The TCC241 current transformer is a single model having a secondary at 1A. It is class 1 for 0.5 VA and allows the
passage of a cable 24mm or 36mm in diameter.
The TCC241 is easy to use because it can simply be clamped shut on the cable, so, unlike the TCR21, it can be installed
without disconnecting the cables.

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION PROCEDURE
MAP COMPACT instruments are designed to be easy to install. Follow the mini-instructions below.
The instruments can be installed directly in the electrical cabinet per the example below. It is important of take care that
the communication ports, the current inputs, and the general inputs on the bottom of the device are not blocked and are
readily accessible. Any external communication devices must be installed nearby.
ATTENTION: Always ground the equipment before connecting any other cable.
A. Install the equipment at the point of measurement. The most appropriate location is in the electrical
cabinet or equivalent.
B. First connect the ground to the ground symbol ( ) of the power supply terminal of the equipment,
marked "Power".
C. Then connect the phase and neutral to the power supply terminal. NOTE: In principle, 230 VAC or 110
VDC (auxiliary source)
D. Then connect phases L1-L3 to inputs U1-U3, respectively, and the neutral to input N.
-For a low-voltage connection, connect phase-to-ground voltages of 230V.
-For a medium-/high-voltage connection and measurement transformer (PT/TI), connect phase-
to-ground voltages, i.e. approx.
110 = 63 V
3
E. Connect phase-to-ground currents (L1-L3), if there are any, to the inputs (I1-I3).
-The current channels must always be connected to current transformers CT (1-5A).
-For the measurement, connect, in principle, to the (measurement) CT.
-If the measurement must be made via a protection CT, a CHAUVIN ARNOUX ENERGY external
current transformer must be used (see separate section)
F. To finish, connect the chosen communication equipment to the appropriate port (e.g. modem to the
modem port). If the computer and the Qual-SRTc software are at the measurement point, we
recommend connecting and checking that all of the currents and voltages are correctly connected
and erasing the memory of the device so that the measurements can start without the old data
already recorded.

4.1. SET-UP
The MAP COMPACT is installed directly in the electrical cabinet or similar situation thanks to notches on the back of the
product.
4.2. THE INPUTS OF THE MAP COMPACT
MAP COMPACT devices have inputs for measurements, for power supply, and for communication. Altogether, three
voltage inputs plus neutral (L1, L2, L3, and N), three current inputs (I1, I2, and I3), one Ethernet port, one RS232 port,
one mini-USB port, 1 current loop port (CL), and three power supply inputs (L, N, and ).
Figure 4 - The inputs of the equipment
4.2.1. THE INPUT CONNECTIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT (DIGITAL PORT)
APower supply of the instrument. ATTENTION: Always start by grounding the MAP COMPACT using the
appropriate terminal. Then connect the desired supply voltage, from 175 to 255 VAC for the auxiliary source on the
L and N terminals of the POWER terminal board.
BMAP COMPACT devices have three voltage inputs + Neutral. Each terminal must be connected to the object of
which the voltage is to be measured.
4.2.2. VOLTAGE INPUTS L1-L3
For class A voltage measurements, the phase-to-ground voltage inputs at the bottom, marked L1-L3, are used. Then
connect the phase-to-ground voltages (max. 275V RMS) to inputs L1, L2, and L3 and the neutral (or the ground for
connection to the PT) to the N input.

4.2.3. CURRENT INPUTS I1-I3
CMAP COMPACT instruments have three current channels for connection to external measurement transformers
(CT).
The measurement ranges of the current inputs are adapted for rated secondary currents of 1 to 5 Amperes and must
always be connected to grounded measurement transformers (CT, max +/-2V).
Always connect the current inputs to the measurement transformers. If it is necessary to measure using a protection CT,
which can if there is a fault deliver very high secondary currents, Chauvin Arnoux Energy external measurement
transformers must also be used.
4.2.4. RS232 PORT / CURRENT LOOP / ETHERNET
DMAP COMPACT instruments have several communication ports and one current loop port for the connection of an
external communication device.
Modem port This RS232 port (9 poles) can be connected to an external communication device such
as a standard modem, GSM modem, etc. Use for this a standard straight RS232 cable.
For Ethernet communication, connect to the internal Ethernet port (optional) or connect
this same port to the Chauvin Arnoux Energy Ethernet adapter (RS-232 / RJ-45). This
same port can be used as a serial port by adding a Null-Modem converter
Current loop port (CL) The current loop port is used for a connection to the energy meters terminal. It can also
be used for multi-drop communication when several instruments are placed in the same
substation.
Ethernet port This Ethernet port (optional) enables the product to communicate in TCP/IP.
USB port The MAP Compact includes, as standard, a USB 2.0 port for communication between the
product and the PC
4.2.5. SCREEN / PULSE COUNTER / NAVIGATION
EMAP COMPACT devices have a display screen and navigation keys. The screen is used to display the events
counter, and the status of the last EN 50160 report. This analyzer can also be used to meter energy.
4.2.6. DIGITAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS
F MAP COMPACT devices also have four digital inputs/outputs to send pulses in order to communicate with a PLC.
Their configuration is described in part 6.1.6 Figure 35.
4.3. STATUS DIODE
MAP COMPACT devices also have a status diode that changes colour under the conditions described below.
Colour of the Diode
Description
Green light
The instrument displays a green light if the result of the internal report
is approved under the standard (last elapsed week).
Red light
The instrument displays a red light if one or more parameters are not in
conformity, as calculated in the internal report.
Blue light (blinking)
The instrument displays a blue light if the phase order is not correct.
This can be corrected by changing the phases on measurement inputs
L1-L3 so that each phase is associated with its measurement input.
N.B. To configure MAP COMPACT instruments, use Qual-SRTc software, which
is explained in its own User Manual.

13
4.4. CONNECTION
4.4.1. LOW-VOLTAGE CONNECTION
The devices have three voltage inputs (max. 275V RMS) that must be connected to phase-to-ground voltages L1-L3. For
a low-voltage connection, the instruments can, as regards the voltages, be connected directly to the grid (via voltage
fuses), but the currents must still be connected via grounded measurement transformers (CT) (secondary current 1-5A,
max. +/-2V).
ATTENTION: Always start by grounding the devices, then connect them to the power supply plugs.

4.4.2. HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTION VIA MEASUREMENT TRANSFORMERS (PT/CT)
For high-voltage measurements, the device must be connected to the existing potential transformers (PT), where the
secondary voltage is in principle 100 or 110 VAC (phase-to-phase voltage, L-L).
In this case, the instrument must always be connected in phase-neutral; in other words, phases L1-L3 must be connected
to voltage inputs L1-L3 and the ground to input N of the instrument. The current inputs must always be connected to the
existing measurement transformers and grounded (secondary current 1-5A, max +/-2V).
Information: With the equipment connected to high voltages via a measurement transformer (PT) and for phase-neutral
voltage measurements, the secondary voltages will be approximately

4.4.3. HIGH-VOLTAGE CONNECTION VIA PROTECTION TRANSFORMERS (PROTECTION CT)
When the device is connected to the secondary of a protection CT for current measurements, Chauvin Arnoux Energy
auxiliary transformers must always be used, to prevent damage to the equipment by the fault currents that may occur (up
to 20 times the rated current). The advantage of such a connection is that the equipment can then measure the fault
current if there is a perturbation on the grid.
The voltages are connected directly to the potential transformer (PT) (description in the sections below). The connection
of the currents when the protection transformers and Chauvin Arnoux Energy auxiliary external current transformers are
used is shown by the diagram of Figure 7 below.
ATTENTION: Always start by grounding the devices, then connect them to the power supply plugs.

4.4.4. POWER SUPPLY
Chauvin Arnoux Energy recommends that the equipment be connected to an external reserve current battery/UPS to
prevent losses of voltage and nonlinear perturbations.
The power supply circuit must be protected by fuses or circuit-breakers located close to the device.
MAP COMPACT devices can be connected to a supply voltage between 175 and 255 VAC.
4.4.5. INTERNAL BACKUP
Chauvin Arnoux Energy has taken care to ensure that MAP COMPACT devices can measure and record perturbations
and the statistics of sags/interruptions even when the instrument does not have a battery-backed external power supply
(UPS/emergency supply).
For this, the devices have an internal backup system for brief losses of power (less than 10 seconds) and detailed
measurements of sag/swell perturbations. They also have a second backup system (for at least four weeks) to measure
and record the statistics of long and short interruptions.
All measurements are always saved in flash memory in the device itself and are not erased even if the backup
time is exceeded.
4.4.6. COMMUNICATION
All MAP COMPACT devices have communication ports for connection to communication devices. They include as
standard a remote RS232 port, a current loop port (CL), and a Mini-USB port. An optional internal Ethernet port can be
added in order to facilitate communication with the MAP COMPACT.
Figure 8 - Communication ports
4.4.6.1 THE REMOTE RS232 PORT
MAP COMPACT devices have an RS232 port (9-pin male) for connection to modems. They are connected to the modem
by a standard RS232 cable (straight). The MAP COMPACT can also be connected to the computer using a Null-Modem
converter for configuration by Qual-SRTc software, the use of which is explained in part 6. If the computer has only USB
ports, a USB/RS232 adapter can be used.
The default speed of the communication port is always 9600 bauds when connected to a modem.

17
4.4.6.2 CL PORT (CURRENT LOOP)
For connection to the energy meters/terminals in place, MAP COMPACT instruments have a specific communication port,
the "CL" port. CL, current loop, means that the port can be used for a connection in parallel with the energy meters
already in place and so can use an existing communication link (for example, communication via an electrical network).
The CL port can also be used for multi-drop communication when several instruments are placed close to one another
and must share a modem. In this case, the CL 20mA external current loop adapter must be used in RS-232
communication, connected as shown by the figure below.
For more information, contact Chauvin Arnoux Energy.

5. DISPLAY UNIT OF THE MAP COMPACT
The MAP COMPACT has navigation keys and a three-line display unit to display the various parameters. When the MAP
COMPACT is in communication with the computer, this display unit remains frozen on the main screen and displays
"downloading data". To restore access to the display unit, the computer must disconnect from the device.
5.1. DISPLAY OF THE MAIN MENUS
At start-up, the MAP COMPACT displays the values in real time. To view the menu, it is necessary to press the right
arrow key ( ).
The menu sequence is shown below:
