Terminal mode
1) Visualization
The CPL36 can be connected to a terminal with the RS232 link on the front of the device.
This requires a USB/Jack adapter cable, and have a ASCII emulation program like ‘HyperTerminal ' or else installed on
the PC.
Once the device is connected to the PC, it displays the following measurements page every 5 seconds.
VOLTAGE: 200 V
CURRENT: 2.55 A
FREQUENCY: 50.01 Hz
ACTIVE P.: 260 W
REACTIVE P.: 22 Var
APPARENT P.: 260 VA
COSINUS PHI: 0.999
OUTPUT 1: 9.33 mA
OUTPUT 2: 12.16 mA
Remark:
In terminal mode the metrological performance of the device are degraded. It is therefore preferable to limit the
time of use in this mode.
2) Configuration
The device can also be configured by the terminal link.
To enter configuration mode, just press the "C" key. The message ‘ConF’ is displayed in front.
2.1) Method
At the configuration time, different types of questions are displayed. For each one, several answers are possible.
You will find below the detailed description of each case.
2.1.1) Menu selection
example: INPUTS CONFIGURATION The user makes a choice by pressing the keys "Y" or "N".
(Y-N)
2.1.2) Parameter selection
example: VOLTAGE or VOLTAGE
(Y-N)YES (Y-N)NO
Previous choice = YES: - pressing "Y" or "Enter" => choice validation = YES.
- pressing "N" => choice changing = NO.
Previous choice = NO: - pressing "N" or "Enter" => choice validation = NO.
- pressing "Y" => choice changing = YES.
2.1.3) Value acquisition
Example: LOW SCALE
4 mA
There are two possibilities:
- The validation without modification by typing "Enter",
- The modification with simultaneous display followed by validation with "Enter".
Remarks:
- It is possible, when a mistake is made during a value acquisition, before validating it, to go back by pressing on
backspace key. This re-displays the message without taking notice of the mistake.
- In configuration mode, if there is no action on a key during 2 minutes, device goes back in measure mode without
taking notice of the modifications made before.
- In configuration mode, if you want go back to measure mode without taking notice of modifications made before,
just press the escape key.

2.2) Language
The language possibilities are: - French
- English
2.3) Input
The input configuration is made of:
- Measure response time.
2.4) Network
The wiring options on the network are:
- Alternative TRMS (AC+DC) or continuous (DC) (only on standard or Hall version).
- Single-phase or balanced three phases with neutral.
It is also necessary to configure:
- The Potential Transformer ratio,
And on a standard version:
- The external current shunt sensibility (200mV input).
Or on a Hall version:
- The Hall sensor caliber (Hall input).
Or on a Rogo version:
- The Rogowski sensor sensibility (200mV input).
2.5) Relays
The device can, by /R1 or /R2 option, provide respectively 1 or 2 independently configurable alarm relays.
Relay parameters are:
- Monitored value: voltage, current, frequency, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor.
- Type of detection: high or low threshold.
- Threshold and hysteresis value.
- Security.
- Hold function.
- Activation and deactivation delays.
The alarm detection works in this manner:
- high threshold detection: .alarm is activated when measure goes above threshold,
.alarm is removed when measure goes below threshold minus hysteresis.
- low threshold detection: .alarm is activated when measure goes below threshold,
.alarm is removed when measure goes above threshold plus hysteresis.
The security function allows to choose between the activation or the de-activation of the relay when alarm is activated.
The Hold function keeps the alarm activated, even if the measure comes off alarm, and this until it has been disabled by
a reset on the front (see § 3 page 4).
The activation and deactivation delays, configurable from 0 to 600 s set the time above which alarm changes its state
after event appearance and disappearance.

2.6) Analogical output
In standard the device provides one analogical output, insulated and configurable. It can by /S2 option be equipped
with a second insulated output. The two outputs are configurable independently of each other. The two outputs can also
be used for one bipolar +/- 10V output (see "special functions" below and p16 for wiring).
Configurable output parameters:
- Type of output: Current output (mA) or Voltage output (V) with strap connected.
- Low and high output scales.
- Response time.
- Limitation.
- Monitored value: voltage, current, frequency, active power, reactive power, apparent power, power factor.
- Low and high input measure scales.
The limitation allows to bound the output signal swing to the configured output scales for all input signal values.
The response time allows a smoothing of the output. It is configurable from 0 to 60 s (set to 0 s at the factory).
