1. APPLICATION
The KS3-2 digital synchronizing unit is destined to synchronize generators during their
coupling in parallel to the network or other generators working at the rated 50 or 60 Hz
frequency. The full synchronization is obtained at the moment when follows the equalization of
the voltage, frequency and phase angle. The phase angle difference of signals from the gene-
rator and the network is indicated by the synchroscope which has the shape of a circle of
diodes.The voltage difference between the generator and the network in the -20%...0...+20%
interval is indicated by the upper horizontal line ∆V, which the zero in the middle.
The lower horizontal diode line with the zero in the middle, designated ∆f, indicates the
frequency difference of signals from generator and the network in the -10%...0...+10%
(45...55 Hz) interval. The green diodes on horizontal bargraphs and diodes inside the circle
are lighting on the unit frontal plate at the moment when the synchronization is reached.
The unit includes two relay outputs. One of the relay signal indicates the moment when we
reach the synchronization. The second relay signals the measuring range exceeding of the
chosen quantity.

3. BASIC REQUIREMENTS AND USERS SAFETY
KS3-2 synchronizing units are intended to be installed in panels, switchboards and cubicles
They are in conformity with IEC 1010-1+A1 (1996) safety requirements.
Remarks concerning safety:
The unit installation should be carried out by a qualified staff.
One must consider all accessible aspects of the protection.
The instrument lefs the factory in perfect condition regarding technical safety. In order to main-
tain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must comply with indications and
markings contained in the following instructions:
Before mounting, ensure that the operating voltage and mains voltage set are the same,
and then proceed with installation.
The power supply must be connected as shown in the relevant diagram.
Before the switching on, check the correctness of meter connections
Before any maintenance and/or repairs, whenever the instrument must be opened, it must be
disconnected from all power sources.
Maintenance and/or repairs must be carried out only by qualified authorized personnel.
If there is ever the suspicion that safe use is no longer possible, the instrument must be taken
out of service and precautions taken against accidental use.
Operation is no longer safe when:
- there is clearly visible damage,
- the instrument no longer functions,
- after lengthy storage in unfavorable conditions,
- after serious damage incurred during transport.
Operator safety
The instrument described in this service manual is intended for use by properly trained staff
only.
Maintenance and/or repairs must be carried out only by authorized personnel.
For proper, safe use of the instrument and for maintenance and/or repairs, it is essential that
the persons instructed to carry out these procedures follow normal safety precautions.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Fixing way
One should cut-out a hole of 138+0.5 x 138+0.5 mm dimensions in the panel and fix the synchro-
nizing unit by means of four screw holders. The unit housing, which overall dimensions are
144 x 144 x 77 mm, is made of self-extinguishing plastics. The screw terminal strips enable the
connection of external conductors which maximal cross-section is 2.5 mm2.
Precautions in case of breakdowns
If it is suspected that the instrument is no longer safe, for example due to damage incurred
during transport or use, it must be taken out of service and precautions taken to prevent any
accidental use.
Contact authorized technicians for checks and any repairs.

The KS3-2 synchronizing unit ensures the measurement of: difference of RMS voltage and
frequency in measuring circuits of the network (Unetwork1, fnetwork1) and the generator (Ugen, fgen)
∆ U= ∆ f= and the phase angle (ϕ).
A lighting point on each bargraphs informs about the value of the given parameter. The syn-
chroscope enables the identification of the phase rotation direction, at ∆ f < 5% of the network
frequency. The lighting point of the synchroscope rotates in the clockwise direction when the

frequency of the switched on generator is higher than the network frequency. At the generator
frequency smaller than the network frequency, the lighting point rotates in the anti-clockwise
direction. When one of the two quantities (∆ f, ∆ V) exceeds the measuring range, the Alarm2
(OUT) is being activated.
The signalling of each alarm can be confirmed by switching on the attributed relay. Functions
of ∆ f and ∆ V value interval atributions for the synchronization alarm switching on and the
activation of relay outputs are settled in the configuration alarm mode.
In the execution with an interface, the unit additionally ensures the measurement of the volta-
ge RMS value and the frequency in the network (Unetwork, fnetwork) and generator (Ugen, fgen)
measuring circuits. The KS3-2 synchronizing unit also enables the measurement of minimal
and maximal voltages and frequencies.
Voltages are multiplied by the set voltage ratio of measuring transformers.
5.3. Configuration
To enter into the configuration mode one should press two keys: and during
ca 3 seconds, till the switching of the sound signal off.
One choose the parameter by means of keys. The active parameter is
signalled by flashing.
Modifications are introduced by the key while increasing the interval and the
key while decreasing the interval.

The displayed interval is defined by two pairs of symmetrical diodes regarding the middle of
the line. Manufacturer′s values are: for ∆U=1% Unetwork and for ϕ = ±2° (el.)

for the
synchro-
nization
The configuration for the alarm output is carried out by keys, by choosing
the screen of the appropriate alarm. The relay operation is activated by the key and
released by the key. The lighting of diodes in the alarm screen corresponds suitably
to this. When the relay is not assigned, the alarm is only signalled by lighting. This concerns
both the alarm synchronization and the measuring range exceeding. Marking the green dio-
des on the synchroscope circle, we set on the bargraph the automatic synchronization swit-
ching on after a supply voltage decay. The parameter switching off causes a lack of reaction to
the synchronization moment. In order to activate the process one must enter into the configu-
ration procedure and next, without changing the setting, come back into the measuring mode.

After pressing in the alarm mode we are configuring the RS-485 interface. The
interface has got a constant 9600 kBit/s baud rate. The device′s address (1...10) is modified
on the ∆V bargraph. To differentiate in the interface mode, the green diodes are constantly
lighted on the bargraphs and we read out the value from the graduation.

6. RS-485 INTERFACE
6.1. Description
32 devices can work on one bus in the RS-485 standard. Interface sockets ( 2 x DB9) are
situated at rear of the housing. One must use a screened strand to make the connection.
The screening is necessary and the length of the installation can not exceed 1200 m.
The hardware configuration defines the device number, the baud rate and parameters of the
communication port.
An asynchronous character communication protocol MODBUS is used in the device.
This protocol is a standard taken by producers of industrial controllers for the asynchronous,
character exchange of information between devices of measuring and control systems.

14
It possesses such features as:
- simple access rule to the bus, based on the master-slave principle,
- safeguard of transmitted messages against errors,
- confirmation of remote command execution and signalling of errors,
- efficient mechanisms to secure against the system suspension,
- to take advantage of asynchronous character transmission.
The information unit is the frame in ASCII or RTU code.
6.2. Register map
Data are located in 16-bit or 32-bit registers in the KS3 - synchronizing unit.
Process variables and meter parameters are located in the register address space in the way
depended on the variable value type. Bits in the 16-bit register are numbered from the youn-
gest to the oldest (b0 - b15). 32-bit registers include numbers of float type in the IEEE-745
standard.
The register map has been divided into following areas:
Address range Value type Description
4000 - 4006 Integer The value is located in one 16-bit
(16 bits) register. The table 5 includes
the register description.
Registers can be read out and written.
7500 - 7518 Float The value is located in one 32-bit
(32 bits) register. The table 6 includes the
register description.
Registers can only be read out.
