1General Remarks
The KNAE 3xx is a device for the monitoring of a 1- or 3-phase mains system on frequency,
voltage, phase sequence, angular shift, rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) and vector jump. It
is based on 32-bit microcontroller technology and is featured with a backlit graphic display (132 x
32 pixels). Transferring of parameters and data between the KNAE 3xx and a PC system is done
by means of an USB interface (USB 2.0 Mini B).
Measurement can be done either with or without neutral connector. The detection of measured
values occurs on all measuring paths synchronously by a 12-bit simultaneous ADC. A separate
frequency measuring is available for each of the 3 phases. The detection of vector jump can be
assigned to a single phase or all phases. Due to a special internal wiring of the terminals, the loss
of the neutral conductor can be detected in a 3-wire + N - system. In the internal triggering
memory, the KNAE 3xx saves the last, maximum of 52 triggerings and the associated measured
values.
By setting of the corresponding parameters, the KNAE 3xx provides the option for monitoring on
nominal voltage and frequency in accordance to DIN VDE-AR-N-4105:2011-08 or the dynamic grid
support according to the Medium Voltage Guideline of BDEW (Bundesverband der Energie- und
Wasserwirtschaft e.V.).
The comfortable configuration of all settings of the KNAE 3xx is done by means of the
parameterisation software KuPa010 (–Version V2.36 or later required). Alternatively values can be
entered directly at the device. The input to the device can be protected by use of a PIN. The output
of display-texts at the device standardly takes place in German and English (switching between
languages is possible at any time during operation). Alternative languages, suitable to the
customer’s requirements, can be configured and conveniently made available, by means of our
parameterisation software KuPa010.
Optionally, the KNAE 3xx is available with two analogue outputs, one of the analogue outputs can
be switched between voltage and current (1 x 0(2) V … 10 V / 0(4) mA … 20 mA, 1 x 0(2) V …
10 V).

2Safety Information
The following safety and installation instructions must be observed
when handling the device:
Installation and commissioning only by trained professionals.
The user is responsible for checking the correct configuration of the
KNAE 3xx before commissioning or maintaining the device.
Maximum values given in this description must not be exceeded.
The device must be disconnected from the mains during maintenance
and installation.
Symbols shown in this description have the following meaning:
The Caution symbol indicates possible injury or life
hazards.
Explanatory text or hint on special features at the
handling or behaviour of the device.
3Measurement
All three measuring paths are measured simultaneously and all 3 frequencies are detected
independently. Voltage and frequency are measured, all other available values are derived
therefrom.
3.1 Voltage Measurement
The voltage measurement is a true root mean square value measurement. It operates down to a
star-point voltage of approximately 10 V (L-N). As soon as a measuring voltage is detected, the
LED of the respective phase lights up. The KNAE 3xx can be used in grids of 57/100 V up to
230/400 V nominal voltage. The three string voltages are measured simultaneously with 32
samples per period. The accuracy of the voltage measurement is better 0.1% of the end value
(280/480 V).
3.2 Frequency Measurement
The frequency of all 3 voltages is detected and evaluated separately. The frequency measurement
begins with a star-point voltage of approx. 10 V and takes place in the range from approx. 15.0 Hz
up to approx. 100.0 Hz. The accuracy at absolute values is better than 0.01 Hz. The evaluated
measuring range is limited from 35.0 Hz to 75.0 Hz.
The correct frequency measurement is indicated by means of the 3
green LED on the connection terminals of the measuring inputs (see
Connection Diagram - chap. 4.2.1). As long as no frequency is
measured, the KNAE 3xx operates with the nominal frequency (50 or
60 Hz), which is set by means of parameterisation (see chap. 6.6).

Seite 7 von 57
3.3 3-Wire- and 3-Wire+N - Systems
Measuring with or without star-point may be selected by the choice of the measurement method. At
measuring without star-point, it is not necessary to connect a neutral conductor. Due to a special
internal wiring of the terminals, in a 3-wire + N –system the loss of the neutral conductor can be
detected and indicated in form of a voltage asymmetric or undervoltage Lx.
3.4 1-Wire Operation
If the KNAE 3xx is set to 1-wire operation, the measurement and monitoring is only carried out on
L1 against N (see chap. 4.2.1). The limit values for fault angle, rotary field protection, average limit
and asymmetric are internally deactivated, vector jump must be adjusted.
3.5 Behaviour at low Voltages
Below a measuring voltage of approx. 20 V, the accuracy of the voltage measurement and the
angle measurement decreases. The measuring voltage lower limit is reached at approx. 10 V.
Then for frequency and voltage 0 is displayed.
4Installation
Assembly and commissioning only by trained professionals,
Connection in compliance with VDE 0160.
4.1 Mechanical Installation
The KNAE 3xx is designated for a mounting on a 35 mm top-hat rail, according to DIN EN 60715.
The installation width is approx. 100 mm.
4.2 Electrical Installation

5.2.2.4 Info
In the 'Info’ screen, important and service information is displayed:
Nominal values of the system
Setting of the voltage transformers
Date and time (also setting)
Firmware- and service information
6Configuration of the Device
For a correct adjustment to each individual application, the parameterisation of the device is
required. For parameterisation the use of the supplied, respectively for downloading on our
Homepage www.kuhse.de available parameterisation software KuPa010 is recommended. The
modification of the most operating settings by direct input at the device is possible as well.
At the first start-up, some settings have to be made in order to adapt the KNAE 3xx to the
respective system. This includes: nominal voltage, nominal frequency, type of system and voltage
transformer ratios. If these parameters are not correctly adjusted to the system, the KNAE 3xx will
not work properly.
.
6.1 Converter Setting
The converter ratio for the voltage transformers is specified in the
KuPa010 (figuered right) or directly at the device in the ratio of
primary voltage to secondary voltage.
6.2 Nominal Values of the System
The system nominal values are also entered via KuPa010 or directly at the
device.

6.3 Measurement Range Selection
The selection of the respective display area depends on the configuration of the plant. Nominal
Voltage and setting of the voltage transformers must be adapted before commissioning. Ex works,
the measurement range selection is preset to automatically.
The following display areas are provided:

0 .. 99.9 V
2
0 .. 999 V
6.4 Configuration via KuPa010
Values and settings, which are stored on the KNAE 3xx can be read out at any time from the
device with a PC system by means of the parameterisation software KuPa010. The data can be
stored on the PC and printed out for documentation purposes. For detailed user instructions of
KuPa010, please refer the related user manual, available as download on our homepage
www.kuhse.de.
6.5 Configuration at the Device
The setting of most values is also possible directly at the device. The menu for editing the
parameters is called up in operating mode (see chap. 7), while the main screen is shown in the
device display - by closing the DIL switch S2 (see chap. 5.1.2). The procedure for the input at the
device is described in detail below. The parameter data listed in the section parameter groups (see
chap. 15) must be observed.
6.5.1 Protection of Input with PIN
The editing at the device can be protected by a four-digit user defined PIN. With activated PIN
protection, an input at the device is only possible, after entering the correct PIN.
The PIN is entered digit by digit from right to left (see also chap.
6.6.2). Using the UP button the respective digit is incremented, with
the Enter button the entry of the number will be confirmed and to
cursor moves to the next position. If the last digit of the PIN is
entered correctly, the display changes into the 'Parameter Setting' menu (see chap. 6.6). If the PIN
is entered incorrectly, the input line is reset to 0000. This procedure can be repeated, starting at
the last digit (figured above).
The PIN protection can be set via KuPa010 or via the parameter setting at the device (see chap.
15.1) .
After the PIN has been successfully entered, the input protection is
automatically activated again, if for longer than 10 minutes no button
has been actuated.

6.6 Parameter Setting
If the DIL switch S2 is closed (ON), the device display changes to the parameter setting. To exit
the parameterisation, the DIL switch S2 must be opened (OFF) again. If the parameterisation is
exited without correctly completing of a begun input, the newly set value gets lost and the previous
setting remains active. Set values are stored permanently in the flash module of the device. The
values are retained even at loss of the voltage supply, a battery based buffering is not required.
The setting values are arranged in parameter groups (see chap. 15). Each group contains a
number of setting values and, where appropriate, further properties. The following groups are
available:
Configuration (Konfig. / Config)
Group 1
Limit values (Grenzwerte / Limits)
Group 4
Analogue output (Analog Ausg. /
Out)
Group 5
Digital output (Digital Ausg. / Out)
Group 6
Digital input (Digital Eing. / In)
Group 7
BDEW (BDEW)
Group 8
VDE4105 (VDE4105)
Group 9
Logic table (Logik)
Group 10
6.6.1 Selection of Groups and Parameters
In parameter setting mode (DIL switch S2 closed, input protection PIN
inactive) the device display shows the selection of the parameter group
(parameter groups see chap. 15). Using the Up button (see chap. 0) the
respective parameter group, which is intended to be edited, can nun be
selected now.
By actuating the Enter button, the display changes into the menu of
the selected group. The subgroup with its parameters to be edited
(see chap. 15) can be selected herein by means of the scroll
function of the Up button (see chap. 0). Shown in the example
(figured below): Switching from parameter subgroup 6.1.x (Digital Output A1) to 6.2.x (Digital
Output A2).
The selected subgroup is now called up with the Enter button. The parameter to be changed can
be selected in this menu item using the Up button. Shown in the example (figured below):
Switching from parameter 6.2.1 (Function A2) to parameter 6.2.2 (Switching behaviour A2 –refer
to chap. 11.1).

Press the Enter key to call up the menu for the editing of the parameter to be changed. After the
entry has been made and the change is confirmed (see chap. 6.6.2), the display returns to the
menu of the current parameter subgroup.
To move from one menu level to the next higher, that is from the subgroup to the parameter group
and from the parameter group (see chap. 15) to the group selection, the enter key must be pressed
for approx. 1.5 seconds (figured below).
6.6.2 Entering of a Value
After selecting the parameter group and -subgroup, as well as the selection of the parameter value,
the editing of the value is initiated by pressing the Enter button again. The cursor is at the last
position of the value to be edited (figured right below).
Repeatedly pressing the Up button will increment the number
activated under the cursor (figured right). If the highest value is
reached in this position, the count returns to the lowest value
(9 0). The desired setting value is confirmed by actuating
the Enter button. The cursor moves to the next digit.
This operation is repeated for all digits of the current value to be changed.

When the last digit (the left position) of the value to be changed has
been edited and confirmed with the Enter key, a safety query occurs,
with which the change of the parameter value must be confirmed.
Using the Up button, the current change can be discarded here. The
previous setting is retained. Actuating the Enter button (ENT), the entry of the parameter value is
accepted and stored in the flash memory of the KNAE 3xx. The value is valid immediately after
confirmation.
6.6.3 Setting the Fault Message Coding
The setting of the fault message behaviour is performed bit by bit for
the respective limit values. With the selection of parameter 6.x.6 see
chap. 15.2) the value in the bottom line of the display is switched to
binary number (figured right).
The bit positions 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are adjustable:
Bit position 1 / Release:
The triggering of the fault message for the respective limit value
is activated (1) / not activated (0).
Bit position 5 / disable all (only Logic Table [10]):
The respective limit value can be disabled (1) for the triggering by
means of the 'disable all' function.
Bit position 6 / disable 3:
The respective limit value can be disabled (1) for the triggering by
means of the 'disable 3' function.
Bit position 7 / disable 2:
The respective limit value can be disabled (1) for the triggering by
means of the 'disable 2' function.
Bit position 8 / disable 1:
The respective limit value can be disabled (1) for the triggering by
means of the 'disable 1' function.
Bit position 13 / autoreset:
The autoreset (see chap.7.1.3) is enabled (1) / disabled (0) for the
respective limit value.
Bit position 14 / central fault 2:
The fault message triggering for the limit value is additionally - not
(0) / carried out (1) under 'central fault 2' (see chap. 7.1.5)
Bit position 15 / central fault 1:
The fault message triggering for the limit value is additionally - not
(0) / carried out (1) under 'central fault 1' (see chap. 7.1.5)
Bit position 16 / central fault (only Logic Table [10]):
The fault message tripping for the limit value
is - not (0) / carried out (0) under 'central fault' (see chap. 7.1.5).

6.7 Setting of Time and Date
The real-time clock integrated in the KNAE 3xx operates in 24h format and continues to run for at
least 72 hours in case of auxiliary power supply fails. Date and time of the KNAE 3xx can be
adjusted in different ways.
Using the parameterisation software KuPa010.
Manually at the device.
6.7.1 Via KuPa010
Time and Date are adjustable via KuPa010. On this, the time of the used
PC system is applied.
The clock of the KNAE 3xx can be set by clicking on 'set clock', or while
transferring or reading out the configuration. For this, the option 'adjust
clock' must be activated during transmission.
6.7.2 Manually Setting of Time
The setting of date and time is called up at the device by closing of the DIL switches S2 and S4.
Actuating the Enter button, the editing is activated.
Using the Up button (see chap. 0) now the activated digit is altered. The made setting is confirmed
by actuating the Enter button, the cursor changes to the next position of the input area (figured
below –refer chap. 6.6.2).
The procedure described above must be repeated for all positions of the time and date input.
The day of the week can not be set manually. The day of the week is
set automatically on the base of the set date.
