2.2 Product description

The ISOMETER® iso685-D-B/-S-B is an insulation monitoring device for IT systems
according to IEC 61557-8. It is universally applicable in AC, 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC
systems. AC systems may include extensive DC-supplied loads (such as rectifiers,
inverters, variable-speed drives).

2.3 Special characteristics ISOMETER® iso685-S-B with front
panel

The ISOMETER® iso685-D-B is a device of the iso685 device family with integrated
display. This manual applies in full to the ISOMETER® iso685-D-B.

Das ISOMETER® iso685-S-B is the sensor variant of the ISOMETER® iso685-D-B. The
only difference is that it does not feature a display. The ISOMETER® iso685-S-B must
be used in combination with a front panel because the device is operated via the
front panel. The operation of the front panel is similar to the operation of the ISO­METER® iso685-D-B, which is described in this manual.

The ISOMETER® iso685-D-B, which is similar to the combination of ISOMETER®
iso685-S-B and front panel (e.g. FP200), is described below.

2.4 Functional description

The insulation monitoring device ISOMETER® iso685-D-B continuously monitors
the entire insulation resistance of an IT system during operation and triggers an
alarm when the value falls below a preset response value. To obtain a measure­ment the device has to be connected between the IT system (unearthed system)
and the protective earth conductor (PE). A measuring current in the µA range is su­perimposed onto the system which is recorded and evaluated by a micro­controlled measuring circuit. The measuring time is dependent on the selected
measurement profiles, the system leakage capacitance, the insulation resistance
and possible system-related disturbances.

iso685-D-B_D00177_01_M_XXEN/01.2016

2. Function

The response values and other parameters are set using a commissioning wizard
or via different setup menus using the device buttons and a high-resolution
graphical LC display. The selected settings are stored in a permanent fail-safe
memory. Different languages can be selected for the setup menus as well as the
messages indicated on the display. The device utilises a clock for storing fault
messages and events in a history memory with time and date stamp. The settings
can be protected against unauthorised modifications by entering a password. To
ensure proper functioning of connection monitoring, the device requires the
setting of the system type 3AC, AC or DC and the
terminals

To extend the nominal voltage range, different coupling devices are available as
accessories which can be selected from a menu where the required adjustments
can also be made. The insulation monitoring device iso685 is able to measure the
insulation resistance reliably and precisely in all common IT systems (unearthed
systems). Due to various applications, system types, operating conditions, appli­cation of variable-speed drives, high system leakage capacitances etc., the meas­urement technique must be able to meet varying requirements in order to ensure
an optimised response time and relative uncertainty. Different measurement pro­files which can be selected from a setup menu allow optimum adaptation of the
measurement technique to the specific application.

If the preset response value falls below the value of Alarm 1 and/or Alarm 2, the
associated alarm relays switch, the LEDs Alarm 1 resp. Alarm 2 light and the meas­ured value is shown on the LC display (in case of insulation faults in DC systems, a
trend graph for the faulty conductor L+/L- is displayed). If the fault memory is ac­tivated, the fault message will be stored. Pressing the RESET button resets the in­sulation fault message, provided that the insulation resistance is at least 25 %
above the preset response value. As additional Information, the quality of the
measuring signal and the time required to update the measured value are shown
on the display. A poor signal quality (1-2 bars) may be an indication that the wrong
measurement profile has been selected.

L1/+, L2, L3/-.

required use of the appropriate

The insulation monitoring device iso685-D-B has an internal system isolating
switch, which makes it possible to operate several ISOMETER®s in coupled IT sys­tems. For this purpose, the ISOMETER®s are connected via an Ethernet bus. The in­tegrated Isonet function ensures that only one ISOMETER® is actively measuring at
a time, while the other devices are completely isolated from the system and wait­ing in standby mode for measuring permission.

2.5 Interfaces

• Communication protocol Modbus/TCP

• BCOM for communication of Bender devices via Ethernet

• Integrated web server for reading out measured values and for parameter set­ting

2.6 Self-test

After switching on the supply voltage, the ISOMETER, by means of the self-test
functions, automatically and continuously checks all internal measuring func­tions, the components of the process control, such as the data and parameter
memory, as well as the connections to the IT system and earth.

A manual self test can also be activated by means of the test button to check the
relay function (depending on the configuration).

The progress of the manual self test is shown on the LCD by a bar graph. Depend­ing on the conditions in the IT system being monitored, the self test is completed
after 15...20 seconds. The device then returns to the standard mode (i.e. measure­ment mode) and the actual measured value will be displayed after the measuring
time has expired.

The display shows the initial measurement message until the first valid value is
measured.

If an error is detected during a self-test, the corresponding device LEDs light (see

“Alarm messages” on page 50). In addition, the appropriate message is displayed

on the LCD and an output, if configured, provides a corresponding signal.

Ensure disconnection from the IT system!

When insulation or voltage tests are to be carried out, the device
must be isolated from the system for the test period. Otherwise the
device may be damaged.

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.
The ISOMETER® iso685-D-B is suitable for use in coupled systems.
For the necessary parameter setting, refer to “Special functions for
coupled IT systems” from page 38

Risk of property damage due to unprofessional installation!

The connecting lines L1/+, L2, L3/- to the system to be monitored
must be carried out as spur lines. Inadmissible load current can re­sult in damage to property and personal injury. Do not run any
load current through the terminals.

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 suitable resistance.

Prevent measurement errors!

When the AC system being monitored contains galvanically cou­pled DC circuits, observe that: an insulation fault can only be de­tected correctly when the rectifier valves carry a minimum current
of > 10 mA.

For UL applications:

Only use 60/70°C copper lines!
UL and CSA application require the supply voltage to be protected
via 5-A fuses.
