GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The new DUCATI energia R5 is a power factor controller designed to allow a simple and quick installation as well as a
correct start of a power factor correction equipment. It is suitable to many applications relating to single-phase and three-
phase networks, with or without power generation systems. The R5 models technology allows exchanging system
performance and status data both on site - through a Smartphone App - and remotely, for monitoring purposes, through
Ducati energia datalogger devices.
MAIN FEATURES
o5-step power factor automatic controller.
oDisplay with backlit icons with red LEDs, clearly readable from a distance, 5 navigation keys for functions and
settings.
o868MHz Radio, NFC and RS485 connectivity options.
oVoltage measurement accuracy: 0.2%%±0.5 digit.
oCurrent measurement accuracy: 1%%±0.5 digit.
oAlarms can be completely defined by the user and associated to relay outputs.
Version D - February 2018
FW reference version: V 0.91 and higher

2 WARNINGS
Carefully read this guide before using the power factor controller
The purpose of this guide is to provide the information to install and start using the models of the range of R5 power
factor controllers.
The device must be installed and wired by qualified personnel.
An automatic switch or a disconnector must be integrated with the electric system, duly positioned near the controller,
and easily accessible by the operator. It must be marked as equipment disconnecting device: IEC/EN 61010-1 § 6.11.2
Risk of electrocution, burns and electric arc. Obtain the personal protective equipment appropriate to fulfil the current
electrical safety standards.
Before making the connections, check the power supply disconnection with a voltage detection device that must be
placed close to the power factor controller or, however, be easily accessed by the operator.
If necessary, clean the instrument using only a damp cloth.
The updated version of this manual and the complete operating manual are available on line at the link

5.1 Basic Connections
5.1.1 Three-phase network without standard neutral with 400V phase-phase voltage
Connect the R5 controller as indicated in the figure below.
NOTE: the diagram shows a FF1 configuration, for FF2 and FF3 configurations, refer to the complete operating
manual, available at the following link: https://www.ducatienergia.com/product.php?lang=en&id=8&cat=13&product=89
Connect all the available power factor correction banks using terminals from 1 to 5, as indicated for banks 1, 2 and 5.
For the components indicated in the figure (CT1, F1..5, FU2, T1, KM1..5, C1..5 and QS1), refer to the power factor
correction equipment manual and to the manual of the system on which the power factor controller is fitted.

MU-MID-R5-D-ENG.doc

CAUTION: At first power-up of the system, if on the amperometric input there is a current exceeding 0.7% of the CT
secondary wiring Chap. 7.1.2 the auto-acquisition procedure will be automatically performed based on one of the
methods specified in Chap. 6. This procedure requires the essential parameters necessary for the first commissioning.
WARNING: If you want or if you need to edit the default parameters before auto-acquisition, do not connect the
current signal to controller (CURRENT terminals), or make sure that the current reading is equal to zero.
Then set parameters through the Setup Menu consistently with the indications given in Chap. 7.7.
NOTE 1: in case of blocking reactors, refer to the indications given in Chap. 8.9 - Presence of blocking reactors.
NOTE 2: the Re-connection time parameter must be set consistently with the indications given in the power factor
correction equipment manual. WARNING: Entering a time shorter than the recommended one can lead to equipment
and/or controller damage.
It is always possible to edit parameters even after the auto-acquisition and/or to repeat this latter using the Auto-
acquisition reset functions (Chap. 8.6.6) and Reset to factory settings (Chap. 8.6.7).

5.1.2 Three-phase network without neutral in cogeneration with 400V phase-phase
voltage
Connect the R5 controller as indicated in the figure below.
NOTE: the diagram shows a FF1 configuration, for FF2 and FF3 configurations, refer to the complete operating
manual, available at the following link: https://www.ducatienergia.com/product.php?lang=en&id=8&cat=13&product=89

Connect all the available power factor correction banks using terminals from 1 to 5, as indicated for banks 1, 2 and 5.
For the components indicated in the figure (CT1, F1..5, FU2, T1, KM1..5, C1..5 and QS1), refer to the power factor
correction equipment manual and to the manual of the system on which the power factor controller is fitted.
As an alternative, the cogeneration system (COGENERATOR) can be connected in one of the three positions (1), (2)
and (3) shown in the figure. If the installation is made in points (1) or (2), the controller will also correct the power factor of
the cogeneration system and the cogeneration operating mode will have to be enabled. If the installation is made in point
(3), the controller will not correct the power factor of the cogeneration system, hence the relevant operation mode will not
have to be enabled. For equipment installation, refer to the relevant manual.
CAUTION: At first power-up of the system, if on the amperometric input there is a current exceeding 0.7% of the CT
secondary wiring Chap. 7.1.2 the auto-acquisition procedure will be automatically performed based on one of the
methods specified in Chap. 6. This procedure requires the essential parameters necessary for the first commissioning. If
you wish to perform this procedure, turn off the cogeneration systems.
Once the auto-acquisition procedure is completed, turn on again the cogeneration systems and set the
Cogeneration parameter to “ON” if the cogeneration system is in (2) or (1). For further details, refer to Chap. 7.1.5 -
Cogeneration.
WARNING: If you want or if you need to edit the default parameters before auto-acquisition, do not connect the
current signal to controller (CURRENT terminals), or make sure that the current reading is equal to zero.
Then set parameters through the Setup Menu consistently with the indications given in Chap. 7.7.
NOTE 1: in case of blocking reactors, refer to the indications given in Chap. 8.9 - Presence of blocking reactors.
NOTE 2: the Re-connection time parameter must be set consistently with the indications given in the power factor
correction equipment manual. WARNING: Entering a time shorter than the recommended one can lead to equipment
and/or controller damage.
It is always possible to edit parameters even after the auto-acquisition and/or to repeat this latter using the Auto-
acquisition reset functions (Chap. 8.6.6) and Reset to factory settings (Chap. 8.6.7).

5.1.3 Other Basic Connections
Other connections can be made based on network configuration. The controller and the controlled power factor
correction equipment can be connected to the following networks:

- Cogeneration, single-phase, with phase-neutral voltage at 230Vac or 400Vac, with or without VT;
- Three-phase, with standard neutral with phase-neutral voltage at 230Vac or 400Vac, with or without VT;
- Three-phase with neutral in co-generation with phase-neutral voltage at 230Vac or 400Vac, with or without VT;
- Three-phase without standard neutral with phase-neutral voltage at 230Vac, with or without VT;
- Three-phase without neutral in co-generation with phase-neutral voltage at 230Vac, with or without VT.

5.2 RS485 serial connection
For the models featuring the RS485 serial port, connect the signal as indicated in the figure below, taking into
account that the positive signal must be connected to pin A and the negative signal to pin B.
By short-circuiting pin B across pin T, the line can be terminated with a 120 Ohm resistance, already present inside
the electronics.
For detailed information on protocol, address and baud rate parameter settings, refer to Chap. 7.4 - Communication
interface settings.
For detailed information on Modbus-RTU and ASCII Ducbus protocol specifications, refer to the documents available

5.3 Output alarm connection
Relay outputs can be connected as alarm outputs. For detailed information on how to configure an output as alarm,
refer to Chap. 7.3 - Power factor correction settings.
The figure below shows how to connect output 1.
The contact is in NO (normally open) logic, and it closes if the output-associated alarm is activated.
The power supply unit (PWR) and the reading electronics (LOAD) must comply with the indications provided in the
technical features of relay outputs in Chap. 3 - TECHNICAL FEATURES.
