OverviewThe ISOMETER® iso685-…-B is an insulation monitoring device for IT systems according to IEC 61557-8. Universally applicable in AC, 3(N)AC, AC/DC and DC systems, including AC systems with extensive DC-supplied loads such as rectifiers, inverters and variable-speed drives.
Key selling points- Predefined measurement profiles for typical industrial and power applications
- Reliable measurement of insulation resistance, system voltage, capacitance and frequency
- Integrated web server for remote configuration and diagnostics
- Communication: BCOM, Modbus TCP/RTU, RS-485 / Bender sensor bus
- Suitable for coupled IT systems (ISOnet)
- History memory with isoGraph and time-stamped alarm log
Device variants- iso685-D-B: with high-resolution graphic LC display and front operating controls for local operation; not combinable with FP200 for local control.
- iso685-S-B: without display or controls; to be used with FP200 front panel for operation.
- Option "W": versions with climate/mechanical reinforcement for extreme conditions (iso685W-D-B, iso685W-S-B).
Features- Automatic adaptation to system leakage capacitance and combination of AMPPlus with 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 insulation-resistance trend (isoGraph) and history buffer (3 days) with 1023 alarm entries
- Analog outputs proportional to measured insulation value: 0(4)…20 mA, 0…400 μA, 0…10 V, 2…10 V (galvanically isolated)
- Freely programmable digital inputs/outputs and remote setting via webserver or COMTRAXX® gateway
- Worldwide remote diagnosis via Internet
- Voltage extension via coupling devices
Applications- Main circuits AC, DC or AC/DC
- AC/DC circuits with directly connected DC components (rectifiers, converters, drives)
- UPS and battery systems
- Phase-controlled heaters and systems with switch-mode power supplies
- Coupled IT systems with high leakage capacitances
