IRDH275_D00122_02_M_XXEN/10.2016
Safety instructions
When using ISOMETER®s in IT systems, make sure that only
one active ISOMETER® is connected in each interconnected
system. If IT systems are interconnected via coupling
switches, make sure that ISOMETER®s not currently used are
disconnected from the IT system and deactivated. IT systems
coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the
insulation monitoring process so that a central control of the
different ISOMETER®s is required.
Prevent measurement errors!
When a monitored IT system contains galvanically coupled
DC circuits, an insulation fault can only be detected correctly
if the rectifier valves (e.g. rectifier diode, thyristors, IGBTs,
frequency inverters, …) carry a minimum current of > 10 mA.
Unspecified frequency range
When connecting to an IT system with frequency
components below the specified frequency range, the
response times and response values may differ from the
indicated technical data. However, depending on the
application and the selected measurement method,
continuous insulation monitoring is also possible in this
frequency range.
There is no influence on the insulation monitoring for IT
systems with frequency components above the specified
frequency range, e.g. within the range of typical switching
frequencies of frequency inverters (2…20 kHz).

2.5 Directions for installation
Risk of property damage due to unprofessional
installation!
If more than one insulation monitoring device is connected
to a conductively connected system, the system can be
damaged. If several devices are connected, the device does
not function and does not signal insulation faults. Make
sure that only one insulation monitoring device is
connected in each conductively connected system.
Ensure disconnection from the IT system!
When insulation or voltage tests are to be carried out, the
device shall be isolated from the system for the test period.
Otherwise the device may be damaged.
The terminals and KE shall be connected by a separate wire to the protective conductor (PE). If the terminals L1, L2 of the device are connected to a
system under operation, the terminals and KE must not be disconnected
from the protective conductor (PE).
Check proper connection!
Prior to commissioning of the installation, check that the
device has been properly connected and check the device
functions. Perform a functional test using an earth fault via
a resistance that is suitable for the mains voltage.

Function
3.3 Product description
The ISOMETER® type IRDH275 monitors the insulation resistance of IT systems.
It is suitable for universal use in 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems. AC systems
may include extensive DC supplied loads, such as converters or thyristor-controlled DC drives. The device automatically adapts itself to the existing system
leakage capacitance.
Suitable coupling devices are available to extend the nominal voltage range
The IRDH275B can be used in combination with a control and indicating device, e.g. PRC1470 version 2 or higher, on the BMS (BMS = Bender Measuring
Device Interface) bus.
Un.
3.4 Function
The ISOMETER® IRDH275 is connected between the unearthed system (IT system) and the protective conductor (PE).
The response values and other function parameters are set via the function
keys. The parameters are indicated on the LC display and are stored in a nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) after the setting is completed.
A microprocessor-controlled pulsating AC measuring voltage is superimposed on the IT system to be monitored ( measuring principle*).
The measuring cycle consists of positive and negative pulses of the same amplitude. The period of these pulses depends on the respective system leakage
capacitances and the insulation resistances of the IT system to be monitored.
An insulation fault between the IT system and earth closes the measuring circuit. From the measured current value, the microprocessor calculates the insulation resistance which is indicated on the LC display or the external kΩ
measuring instrument.
The measuring time is determined by the system leakage capacitances, the insulation resistance, and the system-related interference disturbances. System
leakage capacitances do not influence the measuring accuracy.

IRDH275_D00122_02_M_XXEN/10.2016
Function
If the reading is below the selected response values Alarm 1/Alarm 2, the associated alarm relays respond and the alarm LEDs "Alarm 1/2“ light up and the
measuring value is indicated on the LC display (in the event of DC insulation
faults, the faulty supply line is indicated). If the terminals R1/R2 are bridged
(external RESET button [NC contact] or wire bridge), the fault indication will be
stored. Pressing the RESET button, resets the insulation fault message, provided that the currently displayed insulation resistance is at least 25% above the
actual response value when the reset is carried out. The fault memory behaviou r can also be set in the "ISO S ETUP " men u, by selec ting the s ub menu Memory: on/off.
The connections for external kΩ display supplied by the current output
0…400 μA or 0/4…20 mA (IRDH275B) at M+/M- are galvanically isolated.
*) measuring principle "adaptive measuring pulse", a measuring
principle developed by Bender (European Patent: EP 0 654 673 B1).
Self test
A self test can be carried out manually using the TEST button or automatically.
In order to guarantee high functional reliability, the ISOMETER
vides comprehensive self test functions. After switching the supply voltage
on, all internal measuring functions, the components of the process control
such as data and paramete r memory as well as system and earth connections
are checked using the self test functions. The progress of the self test is indicated on the display by a bar graph. Depending on the conditions in the IT system to be monitored, the self test is running for 15…20 seconds, then the
message "Test ok!" appears on the LC display for approximately 2 seconds.
Then the device returns to normal measuring mode and the current measuring value is displayed after the expiry of the measuring time.

Function
When a device error or connection fault is found, the message "!Error!" appears on the display, the device fault LED lights up, the relay K2 (21-22-24)
switches and the respective fault message (see table) is indicated. If such a device fault occurs, a self test is started again every minute. If no more malfunction is detected, the fault message is deleted automatically and the device
fault LED extinguishes.
During operation, the self test function can be started by pressing the TEST
button (internal or external). The self test can also be started automatically
every hour or every 24 hours by selecting "ISO ADVANCED: Autotest" menu.
The alarm relays Alarm1/2 only switch after starting the self test function by
pressing the TEST button, that means if an automatic self test has been selected, the alarm relays do not switch.

Function
3.5 Additional functions IRDH275B
Current output for external measuring instrument
The current output of IRDH275B provides 0(4)…20 mA. The current output is
galvanically isolated from the device electronics and the RS485 interface. The
ISO SETUP menu, on page 50, allows to switch over between 0…20 mA and
4…20 mA.
Real-time clock
The real-time clock serves as a time base for the memory and self test functions. At first, the correct time and date must be set in the menu "ISO ADVANCED". If time and date are not set, a „C“ (clock) is flashing in the standard
display. In the event of a supply voltage failure, time and date will be stored
for at least thirty days.
If the 24 h test is activated in the "ISO ADVANCED" menu, a special time of day
can be selected for the execution of the self test in the menu "TEST: 12:00".
Then a self test will be started automatically once a day exactly at the preset
time. If the 1 h auto test has been selected, the self test is automatically carried
out every full hour.
Interconnected IT systems
When using ISOMETERs® in IT systems, make sure that only one active
ISOMETER
connected via coupling switches, make sure that ISOMETER
used are disconnected and deactivated via a control system. IT systems coupled via diodes or capacitances may also influence the insulation monitoring
process. Hence, also in this case a central control of the different ISOMETER
is required.

Function
Function input F1/F2 for connection or disconnection of
IT systems being monitored
The ISOMETER® can be disconnected from the IT system and set to STANDBY
mode with the function input F1/F2. If the input F1/F2 is bridged, the connections L1/L2 are switched off via internal coupling relays, the measuring function is stopped and the message "STANDBY" appears on the display. Software
version 1.4 or higher does not indicate the measured insulation resistance
during the disconnection, but indicates the value > 10 MΩ. Furthermore, the
alarm relays and alarm LEDs no longer provide alarm messages. After opening
the function input F1/F2, the connection to the IT system will be restored and
a completely new measuring cycle for insulation monitoring is started.
With this function, selective disconnection of an IRDH275 in interconnected IT
systems can be carried out via auxiliary contacts of the respective coupling
switch. One coupling switch each in a line-type or ring-type arrangement can
deactivate a subsequent IRDH275. This arrangement guarantees that only
one ISOMETER
arrangement with all coupling switches closed, it can be assumed that all

Select "ISOnet=ON" from the COM SETUP menu to activate this function. This
function is a type of scanning function. The BMS Master activated via the
ISOnet function controls the ISOnet slave devices via the BMS bus. Once an

disturb each other in interconnected systems.
In com par iso n t o th e so lut ion cou pli ng switches and function input F1/F2, the
response time is prolonged, since no continuous measurement takes place.
The advantage is that no auxiliary contacts of a coupling switch are required.
Furthermore, this solution is ideally suited for capacitive IT systems or IT systems connected via diodes.
An ISOnet slave checks whether there is a Master available in the network. If
there is no Master available, the fault message "ISOnet Master?" appears on
the display after approximately 1 hour. Additionally, the LED for device errors
lights and the Relay K2 switches. When the ISOnet function is activated, the
function input F1/F2 will be disconnected.
