c.- Maximum allowable current : Current Transformer of In / 5 A a.c.
d.- Operation conditions :
- Operation temperature range: -10 to +50 ºC
- Humidity : 5 to 95 % R.H. non-condensing
e.- Safety : Designed to meet protection class III- 300 V a.c. as (EN 61010).
Mounting:
Instrument is to be mounted on panel (cut-out 92
+0.8
x 92
+0.8
mm, as per DIN
43 700). All connections keep inside the cabinet.
Note that with the instrument powered on, the terminals could be dangerous to
touching and cover opening actions or elements removal may allow accessing
dangerous parts. Therefore, the instrument must not be used until this is completely
installed.
The instrument must be connected to a power supply circuit protected with gl
type (IEC 269 ) or M type fuses rated between 0.5 and 2 A. This circuit should be
provided with a circuit breaker or any equivalent element to connect (ON) or
disconnect (OFF) the instrument from the power supply network. The supply and
measuring voltage circuits will be both connected through a wire with a minimum
cross-section of 1 mm2.
The line of the current transformer secondary will have a minimum crosssection of 2,5 mm2.
The instrument has three displays. Each one has also a LED type indicators
(red colour). Every led will be on according to the parameter presently shown in
screen.
When the CVM 96 is powered up, the display shows " xxxx ", so informing
about the program version and the SETUP. After some seconds, the analyzer is
ready for operation and shows one of the available screens. A led next to the shown
parameter is on.
Parameters on display can be switch by pressing the key. Leds on the
right or left indicate the parameters shown on screen at any moment.
When the first led (red) is on, it means that VOLTAGE values are shown on
screen, that is, the user can read the voltage of the phase L1 (V1), voltage of the
phase L2 (V2) and voltage of the phase L3 (V3).
Whether the key "" is press, the next led will be on, so indicating that for
this screen CURRENT values of each phase are now shown.
Pressing again the key "" , the next led will be on, and the screen will
shown following three parameters, and so successively.
Pressing the "max" or "min" key, maximum or minimum values for the
parameters being shown by display, respectively, appear in screen.
This function is only valid while you keep pressing the "max" or "min" key. If
you stop pressing the key the instantaneous values will appear again after 5
seconds.
While showing maximum or minimum values the LED indicators will keep
blinking.
Reset
Pressing the "reset" key the system is reset. This is equivalent to switch off
the power supply of the instrument. The maximum and minimum values recorded will
be automatically deleted from the internal memory.
If you are in the SETUP process and press the "reset" key, you exit it without
saving any modification that you might have done (this event will depend on the
SETUP section that is accessed when the reset action is carried out) and reset of the
system occurs.
After the word "set" you will see on the three displays the voltages of the
phases L1, L2, L3.
U1 U12
U2 or U23
U3 U31
Phase to Neutral Voltages: U1, U2, U3
Phase to Phase Voltages : U12, U23, U31
a.- To select one of the voltage options just press the green key "max" and both
options will appear alternately.
b.- When you get in the display the desired option just press the "" key to
validate it and access to the next SETUP option.
5.2.- Voltage display mode
This option permits the user to select the voltage display mode. That way, the choice
between viewing the voltage with one decimal digit or without decimals is userprogrammable.

a) To select one of the voltage options just press the green key "max" and both
options will appear alternately.
When you get in the display the desired option just press the "" key to validate it
and access to the next SETUP option.
On the screen we read the word "SET U P" followed by 5 digits. They allow us
setting the primary of the voltage transformer.
SET U
P - -
- - -
Last digit of the first display indicates "U" (Voltage) and first digit of the second
display indicates "P" (Primary). It means that we can set the primary of the voltage
transformer. To avoid mistakes the Voltage red LEDs remain lit on.
a) To write or modify the value just repeatedly press the "max" key and the
blinking digit value will be increased.
b) When the value on screen is the proper one, we can pass to the next digit by
pressing the "min" key in order to modify the other values.
c) When the blinking digit is the last one, pressing the "min" key we go back to
the initial value: set values can be again modified.
d) Press"
" to pass to the next SETUP option.
Note: Maximum values of transformation ratios which are allowable to be set,
depend on the full-scale value of the measuring instrument. (see indications
on the rear side lable).
FULL-SCALE
VALUE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
VALUE
110 V~ 99,999
300 V~ 70,000
500 V~ 40,000
- In case that a value higher than the maximum allowable value is validated
"
", the screen will blink and the previous set value will be kept in memory.
We can now set the value of the secondary of the voltage transformer. Only three
digits are available:
SET U
S
- - -
Same process than in point 5.3.1:
- "max" key: Allows us modifying the value of the blinking digit. Each time it is
pressed the value is increased.
- "min" key: Allows us the validation of the blinking digit and going to the next one.
- Press "
" to pass to the next SETUP option.
If the CVM 96 is directly connected to the mains (without voltage transformer) the
values of primary and secondary must be the same, for instance 00001/001.
5.4.- Current Transformer Primary
"SET A P" and five digits appear on screen allowing us to set the primary of the
current transformer.
SET A
P - -
- - -
The procedure is the same one done at the previous sections with the "max", "min"
and "
" keys.
- When the last digit blinks, pressing then "min" the first digit is again accessed,
so that set value can be modified if required.
- The secondary of the current transformers is not programmable. It is
automatically set at 5 A (... / 5 A ac)
- The secondary of the current transformers is not programmable. It is
automatically set at 5 A (... / 5 A ac)
- The primary current value to be set is also limited by the following condition:
The maximum allowable primary current value which can be set is defined by
the fact that the multiplication of the primary voltage value by this primary
current value cannot exceed 20,000,000.
5.5.- Setting power demand utility screens.
Push the key "" and the following screens will appear by display:
1.- PARAMETER TO CONTROL ("Pd Code xx")

When the display is shut down, a Led at the bottom left corner of the CVM will
keep blinking. The display will be automatically turned on when any CVM key is
pressed.
- "max" key: to modify the value of the blinking value.
- "min" key: to validate the blinking value and go to the next digit.
Two modes for the harmonic distortion calculation can be selected:
- d % : total value of the harmonic distortion referred to the fundamental value.
- Thd % : total value of the harmonic distortion referred to the R.M.S. value.
The selected option will be the one shown on screen.
a.- To select any option just press "max" to switch between the two available options.
b.- Press "
" to validate the choice. Since all SETUP options have been
completed, the SETUP is exited, all modifications are saved in memory, and the
running mode automatically starts up.

All installation specification described at the previous chapters
named INSTALLATION AND STARTUP, INSTALLATION MODES
and SPECIFICATIONS.
Note that with the instrument powered on, the terminals could
be dangerous to touching and cover opening actions or elements removal may allow
accessing dangerous parts. This instrument is factory-shipped at proper operation
condition.
8.- MAINTENANCE
The CVM 96 does not require any special maintenance. No adjustment,
maintenance or repairing action should be done over the instrument open and
powered and, should those actions are essential, high-qualified operators must
perform them.
Before any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repairing operation is
carried out, the instrument must be disconnected from any power supply source.
When any protection failure is suspected to exist, the instrument must be
immediately put our of service. The instrument’s design allow a quick replacement in
case of any failure.
9.- TECHNICAL SERVICE
For any inquiry about the instrument performance or whether any failure
happens, contact to CIRCUTOR’s technical service.
One or some CVM 96... can be connected to a P.C.. With this system we can get all
the parameters in one central point of reading. The CVM 96..., has a serial RS-485
or RS-232 type output (according to the model). If we connect more than one device
to the same communication line (RS-485), we have to assign to each of them a
different code or direction (from 01 to 99), since the P.C. needs the identification of
every measuring point.
When the CVM 96 communicates with MODBUS protocol, it uses the RTU mode (Remote Terminal Unit ). Each 8-bits byte in a message contains two 4-bits
hexadecimal characters.
The format for each byte in RTU mode is :
* Code : 8-bits binary, hexadecimal 0-9, A-F Two hexadecimal characters
contained in each 8-bits field of the
message.
