SAFETY
This equipment is designed to be connected to hazardous electric voltages. Ignoring
the installation precautions and warnings can result in severe personal injury or
equipment damage. Also, the equipment is heavy and requires special handling
procedures to ensure the safety of both personnel and equipment itself. The following
are general guidelines that should be followed when installing, operation and servicing
the Metering Unit and Measuring Head.
•All installation, maintenance and service must be performed by qualified technicians
who are familiar with the warnings and instructions of this manual.
•Always follow all local and plant safety procedures.
•Service must be performed by qualified technicians only. If use of an oscilloscope
becomes necessary during servicing, the scope must be floating and not grounded.
The Metering Unit is isolated from the mains via the power transformers. If a
grounded scope is used, a hazardous condition is created since current will flow
through the probe to ground.
•Units are not intrinsically safe. Do not place in explosive atmospheres
•Do not place in the rain, or under water, or submerge any part of the Measuring
Head or Metering Unit. The Measuring Heads are splash proof but are not
waterproof.
•The surface on which the Measuring Head is mounted must be sound and capable
of supporting the Measuring Head. Fasteners used must be capable of supporting
the weight of the Measuring Head.
•Make sure that the cables are disconnected from the Measuring Head during
installation.
•The Measuring Heads are supplied with connector covers, which must be used
whenever the Measuring Head cables are disconnected from the Measuring Head.
The covers are necessary to prevent dust and water from entering the Measuring
Heads. The covers also prevent fingers from contacting the connector pins during
installation, which can carry hazardous voltages if the Measuring Head is installed
on a live bus.
•If the installation is to be made on a "live" bus, the Measuring Head cables must be
disconnected from the Measuring Head. A condition hazardous to the Measuring
Head and any person handling un-insulated cable-lead terminals will result if metal
parts of the Measuring Head contact the bus, or sudden changes in the bus current
occur. Personal protective gear should be worn when reconnecting cable back to
Measuring Head. Please refer to “Installation Considerations” section 4.4 for
Measuring Head storage on a live bus.
•Measuring Head should be electrically isolated from the bus bars. A ¼” (6mm)
minimum distance between the bus and window insulation should be maintained.
This will insure electrical isolation of the Measuring Head structure from the bus.
The Measuring Head itself is grounded via the cables to the Metering Unit. Refer to
the “Installation Considerations” section of the manual for more details.

Installation, Operation and Service Manual LKP Series

041736 N
•An external circuit breaker or fuse with proper rating is required for branch circuit
protection when wiring the main circuit to this Metering Unit. Each Metering Unit
must have its own breaker. Use a wire and breaker or fuse (time-delay) sized
adequately for the maximum burden of 20 VA/kA of measured current. The wire
should have an insulation rating of 600Vac and 80°C minimum temperature rating.
•Replace fuses with correct type, size and value. All channel fuses are Time lag
MDA (or MDL) style 3AB (or 3AG) ¼” by 1 ¼” (6.3 mm x 32mm), 250 Volt. Refer to
the servicing instructions or spare parts list for more information on replacement
fuses. Do not bypass the fuses or modify the electronics. Disconnect power to the
System before replacing fuses. Failure to follow these instructions will result in
intermittent operation and premature failure and will void the warranty.
•Metering Unit enclosure doors and module covers must be present and remain
closed at all times during operation to insure safety of personnel. A set of keys is
provided for locking enclosure doors. Only authorized personnel or technicians
should be permitted to open and service the unit.
•Bus current must be zero when taking resistance measurements.
•Use of the equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer can impair the
protection provided within.
DynAmp, LLC does not assume liability for the customer’s failure to comply with the rules
and requirements provided in this manual.

1. HANDLING AND STORAGE
DynAmp products are engineered and manufactured for use in industrial environments.
However, they contain sensitive electronic and mechanical components which may be
damaged and fail if not handled and stored properly. All products must be handled and
stored with the same care as any precision measurement instrument. Severe bumps or
jolts may damage internal parts and cause malfunction or premature failure. DynAmp
products are designed and assembled with conformal coating, shock mounting, and
environmental seals, when appropriate or when specified. However, this protection
requires that the product must be properly installed and operational before the protection is
fully functional. Therefore, adequate protection from humidity, shock, and temperature
must be provided during handling and storage prior to installation.
The handling and storage of equipment must be sufficient to meet the storage temperature
and humidity specifications of the product and to prevent any condensation or contact with
water or any other liquid. The storage location and container or crate must provide
adequate protection from precipitation (rain, snow, ice) and direct water contact. Adequate
shelter must be provided to prevent the accumulation of precipitation (rain, snow, ice) and
water which can lead to the deterioration or failure of shipping containers or crates and
cause water ingress. Storage in coastal or industrial areas subject to salt-laden or
corrosive air or areas of wind-driven sand or other abrasive dust must be adequate to
prevent the deterioration or failure of shipping containers or crates and cause ingress.
Frequent inspection of storage areas and storage containers or crates is required to ensure
proper storage conditions are being maintained.
If the shipping container or crate is opened and/or the equipment is removed for inspection
prior to installation, the equipment must be repackaged in the original undamaged
container or crate in the same manner as it was shipped to prevent environmental damage
or placed in a storage location that meets the required environmental and storage
conditions.
General product storage temperature and humidity requirements:
Storage Temperature: -40 to 70°C
-40 to 158°F
Storage Humidity: Maximum 85%, non-condensing
DynAmp, LLC does not assume liability for the customer’s failure to comply with handling
and storage requirements.

2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The DynAmp, LLC LKP Series 6 & 8 channel are systems for accurately measuring direct
current in a bus. The Models in this series are: LKP-45 and LKP-60 (6 channel), and LKP-
80 (8 channel). Each model consists of a two-piece Measuring Head, a Metering Unit, and
two multi-conductor cables. For the sake of simplicity throughout this manual, the LKP 6
and 8 channel Metering Units might be referred to as the LKP system, or LKP metering
system.
2.2 ADDITIONAL MEASURING HEAD DETAIL
A magnetic core encircles the bus passing through the center of the Measuring Head.
Magnetic null detectors are mounted in air gaps in the core. Each null detector is flanked
by coils located on the magnetic core.
The Measuring Heads are constructed of cast aluminum with a tough epoxy finish,
insulation from the bus being provided by a 3/8 in. (9.5mm) layer of high-grade epoxy. The
Measuring Head halves are easily joined around the bus by use of 8 bolts.
The LKP-60 and LKP-80 Measuring Heads are provided with mounting feet as standard
equipment. The mounting feet facilitate the mounting of the Measuring Heads vertically on
the floor or on a platform. The LKP-45 can be provided with mounting feet or with a bus
bar mounting kit (both are optional).
2.3 ADDITIONAL METERING UNIT DETAIL
The Metering Unit is housed in a standard NEMA 12 enclosure (IP54). In addition to the
electronic circuitry (housed within two modular units), the Metering Unit contains terminals
for all external connections. The Metering Unit requires 120/240 Vac (other voltages
available), 50 or 60 Hz power. Burden on the supply circuit will not exceed 2400 VA. A
thermo-magnetic circuit breaker is mounted on the inside of the enclosure and serves as
the power on-off control.
2.4 INTERCONNECTION CABLE DETAIL
A standard 33-foot (10 meter) interconnecting cable is supplied with each system (longer
cable lengths are available - consult the factory for details). Each of the individual
conductors is tagged with a numbered label corresponding to a terminal block connection,
providing an easy hookup to the Metering Unit. Keyed connectors are provided on the
