TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM (for reference purposes only)
Standard
mono-phase
installation
Standard
three-phase
installation
Q1 - The installer has to provide an external disconnection device; this breaker has to be easily reachable
and identified as "disconnection device".
( ) - See note in the box in the upper right corner of the wiring diagrams.
( ) - The value has to be calculated according to the VT used.
NOTE: The transformer VT is used:
- To isolate the controller aux circuit from the main circuit.
- When coil voltage of the contactors are different from the main voltage network.
(1) Setting polarity of CT current in Advanced Menu A.02
(2) On wrong connection, the measured Cosjremain constant when we switch on the banks.
It is necessary to change the connection of CT before to connect it to a phase or a signal.

Alarm page sample with the maximum configurable options:
(1) The delay time of Capacitor overload alarm operates inversely proportional to the overload entity, compared to the
programmed thresholds of Thresh.1 and Thresh.2.
When the overload is lower than Thresh.1 the alarm will not be generated.
When the overload is equal to Thresh.1, the delay time is equal to the one set.
When the overload increases, the delay time decreases proportionally until it reaches zero once the value set at
Thresh.2 is reached.
With Thresh.1 at off , there is no tripping until the Thresh.2 value is exceeded and the immediate disconnection of
the steps occurs.
With Thresh.2 at off , the delay time is constant.
Protection is performed through the Steps disconnection and Alarm relay enabling ( if ON ).
The alarm is deactivated only after the value has dropped and stay costantly below the settled threshold for all the
Alarm relay-off delay time set. Now the steps are reconnected and the system will work as usual.
Note:
This protection can only be used if the capacitors are not equipped with filtering devices such as inductors or similar.
(2) A no-voltage release has occurred on the line voltage inputs for more than 9ms.

To deactivate the password enter the value 00000 and save.
SETTING STEPS:
You can set the steps manually or perform automatic acquisition.
- In the Settings Menu select “SET STEPS” and press to access.
- Manual adjustment
By accessing this item it is possible to set for each single step the plate value (in kVAr) of the capacity
connected to it.
- Automatic acquisition
This function allows the automatic recognition of the capacities connected to the steps.
Once the automatic acquisition is confirmed, the instrument inserts one step at a time, detects its value
and sets it automatically.
Once the acquisition is complete, check that the measured values are correct.
