1.3 Safety notes
In order to prevent operating errors, device operation is kept as simple as possible. This
will enable you to start your device up quickly.
It is in your own interest to read the following safety instructions carefully. The applicable
DIN/VDE regulations must be observed for installation!
Power supply connection, setup and operation of the device must be performed by
qualied personnel only. Qualied personnel as dened in the safety notes in this user
manual are those authorized to set up, ground and mark devices, systems and circuits in
accordance with applicable standards and regulations.
To prevent re and electric shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture!
Before connecting the device to the power supply, check whether the local power supply
conditions comply with the specications on the device nameplate.
CAUTION
Incorrectly connecting the device can damage it.
For device connection, the data given in the connection diagram must be complied with
(see chapter“Connection diagram”) and the connection lines must be voltage-free. When
wiring, always ensure that all wiring material used is neither damaged nor defective and
that the polarity is correct!
Proper and safe operation of the product requires correct transport, storage, installation
and assembly as well as careful operation and maintenance.
If the device has any visible damage it is considered unt for use and must be disconnect-
ed from the power supply!
Troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance work may only be carried out at our plant or
after contacting our customer service team. If the device is opened without authoriza-
tion, any warranty or guarantee claim is forfeited. Correct functioning can no longer be
guaranteed!
Opening the device may expose live parts. Capacitors in the device may still be charged,
even if the device has been disconnected from all power sources. Do not operate open
devices under any circumstances!
Systems that are at risk from lightning strikes must feature lightning protection for all
input and output lines.

Functional principle
2 Functional Principle of the Controller
The controller's microprocessor records the mains voltage and current consumption of
the entire plant by measuring transformer inputs (A/D converter) and, on the basis of this,
calculates the active and reactive power ratio of the mains. The controller operates in four
quadrants.
Energy recovery in generator operation is detected and indicated by a "G" ashing
on the LCD display. During this time, compensation to cos phi 1.00 (output cos phi) is
performed. To prevent alternating switching operations, this target cos phi is main-
tained for 15 minutes after generator operation.
The compensated power required for the target cos phi is calculated continuously. If the
power dierence corresponds to the set hysteresis (switch-on and switch-o hysteresis),
the stages are switched depending on the required compensation power. Manually
switched stages are, however, not included in the optimization. In case of identical
stages with identical power, the stage that has been switched o for the longest time is
switched on.
Having fewer switching operations results in optimum adjustment. Even for large sys-
tems, sensitive controls can be set up with just a few modules. Stage ratios do not need to
be considered. After compensation, switching operations are interrupted for a cong-
urable time. To prevent alternating switching operations, you can increase the stage
switch-o delay by up to 150% of the smallest stage's power.
In low load operation (secondary measuring current under the limit), the stages are
switched o after the set delay time.
The integrated temperature measurement input monitors the temperature in the reactive
power Compensation system and causes the fan to be switched on if a predened
temperature threshold is exceeded and switched o again when the temperature drops
below the reset temperature.
To prevent the fan from switching unnecessarily often, it has a run-on time of 30 minutes.
You can switch the fan (output 6 or 12 depending on the device version) on or o perma-
nently in the "Stage state" menu. If you select "Auto", the fan output is controlled by the
temperature measuring input.
You can also protect the system by dening a switch-o temperature. This makes it pos-
sible to switch stages o in time if there is a risk of damage due to overheating. Once the
temperature drops below the reset temperature, the stages are switched on again one
after the other.

Functional principle
The settings are saved on an EEPROM so that they are not lost in the event of a power
failure.
The measuring cycle of the controller used to record the necessary network parameters
takes approx. 20 ms.
NOTE
Limit for overvoltage switch-o = measuring voltage + 10% (taking the measuring volt-
age ratio into account). This value cannot be changed and serves to protect the compen-
sation system.
In the event of an error, the compensation stages are switched o. The alarm relay switch-
es and "Overvoltage" is displayed.

Installation and electrical connection of the system
5 Installation and Electrical Connection of the System
5.1 General, very important information
Tighten all screws and connections. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
Install and operate the device in accordance with the applicable VDE regulations (in
particular VDE 0100) and the electricity supplier's regulations.
Connection cross-sections and fuse protection table: see attachment
5.2 Current transformer connection and measuring voltage
If possible, mount the transformer in the phase that corresponds to L1 of the compensa-
tion system (determine by means of voltage measurement). All capacitor and consumer
currents must be determined. In case of an unbalanced phase load (in small companies),
install the transformer in the phase with the highest load.
P1 (K) to energy supply (indicated on the transformer).
P2 (L) to load outputs
S1 (k) with terminal k (controller terminal 20) and
Connect S2 (l) to terminal l (controller terminal 21) in the compensation system
(use a two-color cable!).
Wire cross section: up to 3 m =1.5mm², up to 6m =2.5mm². For longer distances, we
recommend using a 1 A transformer. The controller is designed for connection to 5 A and
1 A transformers; switching is done by rmware.
If you use existing transformers, the current paths must always be connected in series.
The secondary transformer current needs to be at least 15 mA. For lower currents, no
capacitors are connected ("No measuring current" is displayed).
Connect the measuring voltage in accordance with the connection diagram.
5.3 Current transformer dimensions
The current transformer is designed on the basis of the current consumption of the
consumers, not the capacitor current. If other measuring devices are connected to a
transformer in addition to the reactive power controller, the transformer power needs to
be dimensioned accordingly. Losses also occur in the current transformer cable that need
to be considered if there are long distances between the transformer and the controller.

Commissioning
6 Commissioning the System
6.1 General notes on commissioning
Compensation unit with controller
The controller is congured as a compensation system component (see connection dia-
gram) by default. The following settings need to be congured or checked:
Target cos phi according to electricity supplier specications.
Primary and secondary current in the main circuit according to the transformer tted.
If required, set the measuring voltage transformer data.
If no stage powers have been programmed, the controller will switch to the Commis-
sioning menu after initialization. Next, stage power programming can be performed in
the settings menu, or using the learning process.
NOTE
You can start the learning process from the "Learning mode activate" submenu in the
Commissioning menu, using the Enter/Input buttons.
If the "Learning mode" window is not displayed, please check the following:
is Menu on set for "Learning mode" in the "Extras" menu?
The settings are saved on an EEPROM so that they are not lost in the event of a power
failure.
Switch on a sucient number of inductive consumers (e.g. motors) before switching
the compensation system on. A transformer current of at least 15 mA needs to be ow-
ing in the secondary circuit for the controller to be activated. Below this limit, the error
message "No transformer current" will be displayed.
Check the transformer connection (is the transformer ratio too high?).
If all connection conditions are OK, the instantaneous power factor cos phi should be
displayed after initialization, e.g. Normally, when no capacitors are connected, cos phi
lies in the range of 0.6 to 0.9 inductive, (e.g. cos phi 0.80 ind).
