FUSE ACCESS
ANALOG INPUT
Control power fuse accessible under sliding
door.
Accept 4-20mA analog inputs for transducer
interface.
VT INPUTS:
0-600V,3wire or 4 wire voltage inputs.
Direct (up to 600V) or VT (>600V for
isolation) connections.
CT INPUTS:
GROUND:
3 isolated phase CT inputs
1 isolated neutral CT input
1 Amp or 5 Amp secondary
Separate safety and filter ground
All inputs meet C37.90 and IEC 801-2
EMI,SWC, RFI interference immunity.
AC/DC CONTROL POWER
Universal control power
90-300 VDC
70-265 VAC
COMPACT DESIGN
Panel mount replaces many discrete
components with one standard model.
PROGRAM UPDATING
Flash memory storage of firmware for field
updating via communications port.Enables
product updating on-site for latest features.
COMMUNICATIONS
Dual RS485 comm ports Modbus protocol.
Continuous monitoring/control via
SCADA system rear (RS485).
Front (RS232) or rear (RS485) access
allows simultaneous communication
via a PC or for redundant comms.
