The device is supplied with DC auxiliary voltage via terminals A1(+) / A2.
Switching on the auxiliary voltage (Power-On) is followed by an internal
self-test for 12 sec (see „Device test functions“). The test process is visible
in the display. After this, measurement of the insulation resistance in the
measuring circuits begins and the the colour of the backlight changes
into green.
Measuring circuit
(Insulation measurement between terminals L(+) / L(-) and PE1/PE2)
The terminals L(+) and L(-) of the insulation monitor are connected directly
to the voltage system to be monitored. A broken wire detection creates a
fault signal if there is no low-ohmic connection between both terminals.
The type of network (AC, DC, 3NAC) has to be selected.
Also the terminals PE1 and PE2 have to be connected with 2 separate
wires to the protective earth. An interruption of a wire also causes a fault
signal (see section ”Behavior on faulty connection”). The monitoring of
the PE connection cannot be de-activated.
To measure the insulation resistance an active measuring voltage with
changing polarity is connected between L(+)/L(-) and PE1/PE2.The
momentary polarity of the measuring cycle is shown on the display by 2
curser segments („MP+“ for positive phase and „MP-“ for negative phase).
The duration of the positive and negative measuring phase depends on
the setting of the max. leakage capacity („CE[µF]“ in programming mode),
the actual leakage capacity of the monitored system and in DC systems
also on the level and duration of possible voltage variations. This allows
a correct and fast measurement in different network conditions.
At the end of a measuring cycle the actual insulation resistance is produced
and indicated. The actual value is shown on the display. The relays for alarm
K1 and pre-alarm K2 switch when dropping under the adjusted response
values. In addition the backlight of the display changes to orange color
on pre-alarm or to red color on alarm. An asymmetric earth fault either to
„+“ or „-“ is also indicated on the display (only in DC- systems, or with a
fault on the DC-side of a system).
Manual reset of fault message
Using the display menu in programming mode, the manual reset function
for insulation failures can be selected. If manual reset is activated the
insulation fault signals of the measuring circuit are stored when dropping
under the adjusted response values also if the insulation resistance goes
back to healthy state. The minimum value is stored and can be shown
on the display. Pressing the „Reset“ button on the front side, the alarm
signal and the stored minimum value are reset if the actual insulation
resistance is in healthy state.
Indicator relay for insulation fault signal
For the indicator relays K1 (contacts 11-12-14, for alarm) and K2 (contacts
21-22-24, for pre-alarm) the function can be set in programming mode to
energized on trip or de-energized on trip when the insulation resistance
drops below the adjusted response value.
The status of the indicator relays is shown on the display with the two cursor
segments "K1" and "K2". When the relay is energized, the corresponding
curser lights up.
Broken wire detection
As described in section "Measuring circut", the measuring circuits L(+)/L(-)
and the protective conductors PE1/PE2 are constantly monitored for wire
breaks – not only at Power-On or a manual or occasional automatic test.
The response time of monitoring is only a few seconds. Broken wire
detection between L(+) and L(-) is performed via coupled alternating
voltage. This alternating voltage is short-circuited if the terminals are
connected to the connected mains at low-resistance. The device detects
that the mains to be monitored is properly connected.
Since this broken wire detection is carried out with alternating voltage, large
capacitances should be avoided between L(+) and L(-), since the capacitive
reactance of these capacitances also short-circuits this alternating voltage.
The device would no longer detect a connection fault on L(+)/L(-).
Especially parallel lines should be prevented over larger distances.
If larger capacitances between L(+)/L(-) cannot be avoided or if the coupled
alternating voltage interferes with the system, the broken wire detection can
be de-activated using the display menu in programming mode. Monitoring
deactivated, monitoring only during device test or continuous monitoring
(every 2 minutes for 10 sec) are the possible options. If the broken wire
detection on L(+)/L(-) is de-activated no AC voltage is injected.
The broken wire detection on PE1/PE2 cannot be de-activated.
Device test functions
Principally, 2 different test functions are implemented: The "self-test" and
the "expanded test":
The self-test of the device is performed automatically after Power-On and
every full operating hours. It can also be triggered manually at any time by
pressing the "Test" button at the device front for 2 sec.
With the self-test, contrary to the expanded test, the status of the Indicator
relays is not affected; the sequence is as follows:
The display backlight colour changes into orange.For approx. 2 s all pixels
and segments of the LCD are shown. After that the text “Test1” comes up
and the measuring pulse is switched for approx. 5 s to negative test phase.
The polarity of the test voltage is also indicated on the display by curser
segments. Within these 5 s the internal measuring circuit is checked for
failures. Then the measuring pulse is switched for approx. 5 s to positive
test phase and more internal tests take place. If no failures turned up and
had been recognized, the measurement continuous. The extended test
procedure is started when during or at the end of the above described
12 s self-test the test button is pressed again for 2 s.
The sequence is similar to the self-test (2 measuring phases of 5 s each) but
in addition the output relays go in alarm stated. The display shows “Test2”.
The test phases of the extended test will be repeated continuously. The
extended test can be finished after the first complete sequence (approx.
10 sec) by pressing the "reset" button for 2 seconds. The device starts
the insulation monitoring again.

Behaviour with internal device faults
If internal device faults were detected during the test function, the display
backlight changes into red and an error messages (failure code: „Int.1“)
is indicated. The indicator relays K1 and K2 switch to the alarm state.
Behavior on faulty connection
When detecting broken wire on terminals L(+)/L(-), the measurement is
disabled. The reaction time could be up to 2 min. The monitoring relays
K1 and K2 go in alarm state, the backlight changes to red. The display
shows the fault message „L+/L-“. After removing the interruption the fault is
automatically reset (max. reaction time up to 2 min) and the measurement
of the insulation resistance is continued.
Stored alarm values remain stored. An interruption of the protective
earth connections PE1/PE2 causes the same reaction as interrupting the
measuring circuit, only the display shows „PE1-PE2“.
External control input
To terminals X1/X2 an external combined Test-/Reset button can be
connected. If the terminals X1/X2 are bridged for approx.. 1 s the test mode
is started. This has the same function as pressing the internal test button.
When bridging X1/X2 for > 3 s, a stored alarm will be reset. This has the
same function as pressing the internal reset button.
Programming/setting of parameters/set-up of the insulation monitor
The response values for alarm and pre-alarm can be adjusted via 2 rotary
switches „R
A
“ and „R
pA
“ on the front of the device. New setting are immediately
active and do not require a restart of the unit. More settings can be done
with the 3 buttons and the display menu in programming mode. To start the
programming mode, the button „Set/ESC“ has to be pressed for approx.
2 s. To avoid unauthorized manipulation, this button as well as the rotary
switches„R
A
“ and „R
pA
“ are located behind a sealable transparent cover. When
the device changes to programming mode, the measurement is stopped,
the display back light changes to orange color and the first parameter is
displayed. To scroll the different parameters, the button „Set/ESC“ has to
be pressed short. With the 2 scroll buttons (Scroll-Up „  “ and Scroll-Down
„  “) the settings can be modified.
The first parameter is the broken wire detection in the measuring circuit
„BrWiD“. Possible setting are continuously on („on“), continuously off („oFF“)
or only active during self-test. The default is „on“.
The second parameter is alarm memory „Mem.“. Here are 2 options available
manual reset („on“) und auto reset („oFF“). The default value is „oFF“.
The third parameter is the relay operation principle „Rel.“ Settings are:
de-energized on trip („n.c.“) and energized on trip („n.o.“). The default
value is „n.c.“.
The fourth parameter is the type of network connection „Net“. Selection
are AC Network(„Ac“),DC-Network („dc“) or 3NAC-Network („3nAc“). The
default value is „Ac“.
The fifth parameter ist the setting oft the maximum leakage capacity
(„CE[µF]“). This can be adjusted to 30 µF ("30"), 100 µF ("100") and
300 µF ("300"). The default value is „30“.
The leave the programming mode the button „Set/ESC“ has to be pressed
for 2 s. The settings will be activated and stored permanently. After that the
device makes a restart similar to power on.

Indicators Indicators
The colour of the backlight indicates the operating status of the device.
Off: No auxiliary voltage connected
Green: Normal operation (Insulation resistance in healthy state)
Red: Alarm (measured value below alarm response value,
device failure, connection failure)
Orange: Warning (measured value below pre-alarm response value,
test mode, Parameter set-up mode)
Actual value display
The actual insulation resistance „RE[kΩ]“ is displayed. If the actual value
is RE < 10 kohm, the value in kohm is displayed with 1 decimal place.
With values 10 kOhm ≤RE < 500 kOhm the display shows the value
without decimal place, with values 500 kOhm ≤RE < 1 MOhm the value
is rounded to 10 kOhm. Insulation resistance values 1 MOhm ≤RE < 2
MOhm are displayed in MOhm with one decimal place. If the resistance is
RE> 2 MOHm the display indicates ---- showing the value is higher the
2 MOhm.
In a DC Network an asymmetric insulation resistance to „+“ or „-“ is indi-
cated by displaying „RE+[kΩ]“ or „RE-[kΩ]“
By pressing the scroll buttons (Scroll-Up „“ und Scroll-Down „“) more
measured values can be shown. Another value is the mains voltage on
L(+)/L(-).This is indicated with „UN[VAC]“ or „UN[VDC]“ in V depending on
the type of network and voltage. If the unit is connected single pole to a
3NAC network the mains voltage cannot be measured. With this setting
the voltage value is not displayed. When manual reset is selected, the
display shows the minimum stored value of the resistance „RM[MΩ]“ or
„RM[kΩ]“ after the value dropped below the response value also when the
value goes back to healthy state. The stored minimum value will only be
reset when acknowledging the stored Alarm signal (with the reset button).
Also the firmware version can be displayed.

Notes
WARNING
Risk of electrocution!
Danger to life or risk of serious injuries.
• Disconnect the system and device from the power supply and ensure
they remain disconnected during electrical installation.
• The display of the voltage is not in real time. The Value on the display is
updated at the end of a measuring cycle. Determine voltage free status
by using appropriate instruments.
• The terminals of the control input X1-X2 have no galvanic separation to
the measuring circuit L(+) and L(-) and are electrically connected together,
therefore they have to be controlled by volt free contacts or bridge. These
contacts ore bridges must provide a sufficient separation depending on
the mains voltage on L(+)-L(-).
• Please do not connect external voltage to terminals X1/X2. The control
must only be made by bridging X1 and X2.
!
Attention!
• Before checking insulation and voltage, disconnect the monitoring device
RN 5897 from the power source!
• In one voltage system only one insulation monitor can be used.This has
to be observed when interconnecting two separate systems..
• Device terminals PE1 and PE2 must always be connected via separate
lines to different terminal points of the protective-conductor system.
• The device must not be operated without PE1/PE2 connection!
nfo
Attention!
• The main measuring circuit can be connected with its terminals L(+) and
L(-) both to the DC and also AC side of a mixed network; it is done most
practically where the primary incoming power supply takes place e.g.
with battery networks with connected inverters on the DC side, with
Generators/Transformers with connected Rectifiers or inverters on the
AC-side. To monitor a 3NAC system the device can be connected sin-
gle pole, (L(+) and L(-) are bridged, to the neutral of the 3p4w system.
The 3 phases have a low-ohmic (approx. 3 – 5 Ohm) connection via
the transformer windings so also insulation failures of the not directly
connected phases are detected. Via the display menu in programming
mode the correct type of network needs to be selected (see „Connec-
tion Examples“).
• If a monitored AC system includes galvanically connected DC circuits
(e.g. via a rectifier), an insulation failure on the DC side can only be
detected correctly, when a current of min 10 mA can flow via the semi-
conductor connections.
• If a monitored DC system includes galvanically connected AC circuits
(e.g. via an inverter), an insulation failure on the AC side can only be
detected correctly, when a current of min 10 mA can flow via the semi-
conductor connections.
• The measuring circuits of the device RN 5897 is designed for leakage
capacities up to 300µF. The measurement of the insulation resistance
will not be influenced but for the measuring phases longer time periods
are necessary as with smaller capacities. If the max. possible leakage
capacity is known, the device can be adjusted to the required lower
level, which will reduce the response time and measurement time.
