2.2 WARNINGS, REGULAR
INFORMATION AND REMARKS
REFERRING TO CE-MARKING
In this manual installations and working
instructions for the measuring transducer MI
436 is to be found. Installation as well as use of
the measuring transducer will involve working
with dangerous currents and voltages.
Professionals must handle these areas. Iskra
MIS d.d. does not take on responsibility for the
use and installation. If any doubt comes up
concerning the installation or use of the system,
on which the measuring transducer is to be used
for measurement, the person responsible for the
power installation should be contacted.
Measuring transducer MI 436 is CE-marked
according to the LV-directive and EMC-
directive for housing and light industry, which
normally covers the most common use of the
measuring transducer.

User's Manual MI 436 5

•Protective fuse rating (the recommended
maximum rating of the external
protective fuse for this equipment is 6A
- Red Spot type or equivalent);
•Integrity of earth connection (where
applicable)
Waste disposal site
Waste electrical and electronic equipment shall
not be handed over to a local waste disposal
company or be disposed of as unsorted
municipal waste. The electrical and electronic
equipment producer or purchaser shall at the
end user's request collect waste electrical and
electronic equipment free of charge provided
the electrical and electronic was put on the
market by it. Waste electrical and electronic
equipment does not fall within the scope of old

3. INTRODUCTION
3.1 FEATURES
•Measuring of true RMS AC voltage
•Programmable input and output
•Low power consumption
•Universal AC/DC Auxiliary power
supply
•Accuracy class: 0.5
•Serial communication RS232 or RS485
very high speed data rate: up to 115,200
bit/s, (MODBUS protocol)
•Housing for DIN rail mounting
•Up to three analogue outputs
3.2 APPLICATION
Programmable measuring transducer MI436
allows simultaneous measuring of three
voltages of the same frequency with common
zero (three phase system). Large input range
allows use for measuring of any standard AC
voltage. It generates 3 electrically insulated,
load independent analogue output signals (DC
voltage or DC current). The analogue output
signal is proportional to the measured value and
it is appropriate for the control of analogue and
digital devices.
The ease of programmability of transducer is an
important feature in the provision of cost
effective system control. Systems can be easily
changed or expanded as required.

3.3 LAYOUT AND MODE OF
OPERATION
Voltages are measured by the resistor voltage
divider A (Picture 1) and than amplified in
programmable amplifier D. After A/D
conversion the signal is computed in
microprocessor E. The MI436 uses a true RMS
measurement technique, which provides
accurate measurement. It extracts 64 samples
per cycle and the true RMS measurement is
obtained using these sampled values. The
measured value determined by the
microprocessor is assigned to the three
programmable analogue outputs G.
Communication F enables programming of the
measuring transducer and monitoring of the
following measuring values:
•True RMS input voltage
(phase to neutral and phase to phase)
•%THD
Picture 1: Block diagram
3.4 PROGRAMMING
Input and output values are programmed1) by
setting software2) via RS232 or RS485
communication. Before setting the transducer,
output value must be selected by the jumpers on
the output module3). It is possible to choose
between ranges -1…0…1 V, -10…0…10 V,
-1…0…1 mA, -5…0…5 mA and -
20…0…20 mA. Within this three ranges is
possible to set any linear or bent (with
maximum 5 break points) output characteristic.
1)– Programming is not possible in versions without communication
2) – Software for setting the transducer is available on the web site of the
company free of charge
3) – Qualified person only
