Program 1:1:1… All the stages have the same power in kvar.
Program 1:2:2…  The second stage and successive have a power double than the 1st step.
Program 1:2:4…  The 2nd step has double power and the successive quadruple that the 1st 
step
The default factory setting of computer MAX devices is 1:1:1:1. The available programs are:

6�1�6�- CONNECTION AND RE-CONNECTION TIME SETTINGS
To set-up this parameter, use the keys  
 until the cursor    points to the option 
 , then 
push   .
This parameter sets up the delay times of the device. The setting value, Tc, is the delay time 
between the connection or disconnection of successive capacitor stages. The parameter also 
sets up the called reconnection delay, Tr, which is the minimum time that must elapse between 
the disconnection of a C stage and its following connection. The range of Tc settings goes from 
4sto999s.Tr is automatically set to 5 times Tc(NoticethatTr is needed to guarantee the 
capacitors discharge). The default setting of Tc is 10 s�
6�1�7�- SELECTION OF THE NUMBER OF STAGES
To set-up this parameter, use the keys  
 until the cursor    points to the option   , then 
push   .
This setting allows the selection of the number of stages of the PF compensation equipment. 
Depending on the device type, computer MAX 6 or MAX 12 we can select up to 6 or 12 stages.
If the number of stages is less than 6 or 12 respectively in computer MAX 6 or MAX 12 the 
relay number 6 or 12 is automatically assigned as alarm relay. See “5.4.- ALARM RELAY”.
