AC network insulation monitor ISOMETER® iso685

DCRS485AC/DC

Overview
The ISOMETER® iso685 is an insulation monitoring device according to IEC 61557-8 for IT systems. It is suitable for AC, 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems, including AC systems with directly connected DC components (rectifiers, inverters, variable-speed drives).

Key benefits

• Predefined measurement profiles for common application scenarios
• Reliable measurement of insulation resistance, system voltage, capacitance and frequency
• Integrated web server and support for Modbus TCP/RTU
• History memory with real-time clock (buffer ~3 days, up to 1023 alarm messages)
• Automatic adaptation to system leakage capacitance

Device variants

• iso685-D: Variant with high-resolution graphic LC display and local operating elements; direct operation of device functions; not combinable with FP200.
• iso685-S: Variant without display or local controls; intended for operation with FP200 front panel only.
• Option "W": Versions with option W for extreme climatic and mechanical conditions (iso685W-D and iso685W-S).

Features

• Operation in IT AC systems with galvanically connected rectifiers/inverters and in IT DC systems
• Automatic adaptation to existing system leakage capacitance
• Combination of AMPPlus with other profile‑specific measurement methods
• Two separately adjustable response value ranges: 1 kΩ…10 MΩ
• Connection monitoring of measuring lines and automatic device self test
• Graphical isoGraph showing insulation resistance over time
• Analogue outputs: 0(4)…20 mA, 0…400 μA, 0…10 V, 2…10 V (galvanically separated)
• Freely programmable digital inputs and outputs
• Remote configuration via webserver (option: COMTRAXX® Gateway) and service remote diagnosis
• Interfaces: RS-485/BS (Bender sensor bus), BCOM, Modbus TCP/RTU
• Voltage measurement expandable via coupling devices

Applications

• Main circuits in AC, DC or AC/DC installations
• AC/DC circuits with directly connected DC components (rectifiers, converters, drives)
• UPS and battery systems
• Phase‑controlled heaters and systems with switched‑mode power supplies
• IT systems with high leakage capacitances
