LIMITED WARRANTY
The manufacturer offers the customer an 24-month functional warranty on the
instrument for faulty workmanship or parts from date of dispatch from the
distributor. In all cases, this warranty is valid for 36 months from the date of
production. This warranty is on a return to factory basis.
The manufacturer does not accept liability for any damage caused by instrument
malfunction. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the suitability of the
instrument to the application for which it was purchased.
Failure to install, set up or operate the instrument according to the instructions
herein will void the warranty.
Your instrument may be opened only by a duly authorized representative of the
manufacturer. The unit should only be opened in a fully anti-static environment.
Failure to do so may damage the electronic components and will void the
warranty.
NOTE
The greatest care has been taken to manufacture and calibrate your instrument.
However, these instructions do not cover all possible contingencies that may
arise during installation, operation or maintenance, and all details and variations
of this equipment are not covered by these instructions.
For additional information regarding installation, operation or maintenance of this
instrument, contact the manufacturer or your local representative or distributor.
IMPORTANT
Please read the instructions this manual before performing installation, and
take note of the following precautions:
Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are
turned OFF before performing any work on the instrument. Failure to
do so may result in serious or even fatal injury and/or equipment
damage.
Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the labels on
the side of the instrument to ensure that your instrument is equipped with
the appropriate power supply voltage, input voltages, currents and
communication protocol for your application.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be connected to a
power source if it is damaged.
To prevent potential fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
instrument to rain or moisture.

ii
The secondary of an external current transformer must never be allowed to
be open circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause
high voltages, possibly resulting in equipment damage, fire and even serious
or fatal injury. Ensure that the current transformer wiring is made through
shorting switches and is secured using an external strain relief to reduce
mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.
Setup procedures must be performed only by qualified personnel
familiar with the instrument and its associated electrical equipment.
DO NOT open the instrument under any circumstances.

Read this manual thoroughly before connecting the meter to the current
carrying circuits. During operation of the meter, hazardous voltages are
present on input terminals. Failure to observe precautions can result in
serious or even fatal injury or damage to equipment.

1.1 About This Manual
This manual is intended for the user of the C192PF8-RPR Power Factor Manager
and Reactive Power Regulator. The C192PF8-RPR is a multi-function
microprocessor-based instrument used for power factor or reactive power
correction and for the measurement, monitoring, and management of electrical
parameters in low-voltage and mid-voltage power systems.
This chapter gives an overview of this manual and an introduction to the
C192PF8-RPR.
Chapter 2, Installation, provides instructions for mechanical and electrical
installation.
Chapter 3, Using the Menus, presents the structure of menus for setup and status
viewing.
Chapter 4, Setup Menus, provides instructions for performing parameter setup via
the front panel.
Chapter 5, PFC Setup and Operation, provides instructions for performing setup
for the Power Factor Controller (PFC) and describes front-panel operations in
PFC manual mode.
Chapter 6, Data Display, guides you through the display pages.
Chapter 7, Viewing Status Information, tells you how to access additional status
information on the instrument. This information may be useful during installation.
Technical Specifications for the C192PF8-RPR are found in the Appendix.
1.2 About The C192PF8-RPR
The C192PF8-RPR is a compact three-phase AC Powermeter with a built-in
Power Factor Controller (PFC) and Reactive Power Regulator (RPR), designed to
meet the requirements of users ranging from electrical panel builders to
substation operators. The C192PF8-RPR performs power factor or reactive
power correction functions, basic voltage, current, frequency, power, power factor
and energy measurements, plus total harmonic (THD, TDD, K-Factor)
measurements.
The C192PF8-RPR is suitable for mounting on 136×136 mm square cut-outs.
Features
Power Factor Controller
• Control of up to 8 capacitor banks

2 Chapter 1 Introduction
• Manual, self-adapting automatic and optimizing automatic operation
• Full four-quadrant operation
• Selectable target power factor or reactive power setpoints
• Two PFC setpoint ranges for day and night operations selectable via a
status input
• Target power factor range from 0.5 (inductive) to -0.5 (capacitive)
• True and displacement power factor setups
• True and fundamental’s reactive power setups
• Extensive capacitor banks protection via programmable alarm setpoints
(no-volt, over-voltage and high harmonics override conditions)
Display
The front panel features bright LED displays (three windows, up to 43 pages) with
adjustable display update time. Display auto scroll is available on the main screen
with a programmable scroll interval of 2 to 15 seconds. Automatic return to the
main screen is available after 30 seconds of uninterrupted use. The front panel
also includes:
• Relay status bar showing output status of the 8 relays
• Alarm/Manual Mode LED providing a local indication when a predefined
alarm condition appears (the LED is lit constantly) or when the PFC
operates in Manual Mode (the LED flashes). The alarm LED is shut off
manually (by pressing on both up and down keys for more than 5 sec)
• RXD/TXD LEDs showing communications receive/transmit status
Setup is menu driven, with optional password protection. 16 programmable
setups are provided for alarm and control functions (for programmable
parameters, see ‘Measured Parameters’ below).
Communications are available using an RS-232 or RS-485 standard (factory
set), with Modbus protocol. 120 user assignable registers are available in Modbus
protocols.
Eight relays are provided for capacitor banks switching, energy pulsing (KYZ) or
alarm and remote control. Contacts of six relays may switch loads up to 250V, 5A
AC and are recommended for alarm and remote control; contacts of two relays
may switch loads up to 250V, 3A AC and may be used for energy pulsing.
One optically isolated analog output is provided for remote monitoring or
control. Current loop options are 0-20 and 4-20 mA. The analog output must be
used with an external power supply.
Four common-use event/time counters are provided for counting user-defined
events or their duration. These can be used for counting total operation time of
generators or overload time of transformers or power lines. The counters are
operated and released by user-defined triggers.
Eight dedicated relay operation (switching cycle) counters are provided for
counting the number of PFC relay operations (number of complete switching
cycles).

Chapter 1 Introduction 3
One digital input can be used as a status input for monitoring external contacts
or as an external synchronization input for power demand interval
synchronization. When no external synchronization pulse is provided, the power
demand interval can be synchronized through communications.
Three user-selectable options are provided:
Power calculation mode
Power calculations can be made using directly measured reactive power or
through non-active power based on direct apparent power measurements.
Energy rollover value
This option specifies the point at which the energy value rolls over to zero.
Phase energy calculations mode
This option is used to enable or disable phase energy calculations.
Measured Parameters
Note: Real-time values are measured over 1 cycle of fundamental frequency; Average
values are sliding average of 8, 16 or 32 real-time measurements.

inputs, power supply, communication, relay and analog output) as shown in
Figure 2-2.
2.2.1 Power Supply Connection
The power supply can be dedicated-fused, or from a monitored voltage if it is
within the instrument’s power supply range. Use an external circuit breaker or
switch.
AC power supply: line to terminal 12; neutral to terminal 10.
DC power supply: positive to terminal 12; negative to terminal 10.
2.2.2 Current Inputs
Connect the current inputs to terminals 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9. The instrument is
connected to the current transformer as shown in Figures 2-3 through 2-10.
