Function description
Funkti onsbeschrei bung P MS s20
The insulation monitor prevents haz-
ardous insulation faults in galvanically
separated systems. The insulation re-
sistances are measured between the
network phases and the operating
earth. The measuring principle detects
symmetrical and asymmetrical insula-
tion faults.
Relay outputs (K1 and K2)
K1 and K2 operate in normally ener-
gised mode. In their default state, aux-
iliary contacts 11-14 and 21-24 are
closed and auxiliary contacts 11-12
and 21-22 are open. Normally ener-
gised mode is the default setting; this
setting can be changed via the menu.
Response resistance
If the insulation resistance falls below
the set response resistance R
an
in ei-
ther of the two measuring circuits (R
E
< R
an
), the LED "Out 1" or "Out 2" will
light and the relay contacts will de-en-
ergise.
Response resistance Ran1:
Auxiliary contacts 11-14 will open
and auxiliary contacts 11-12 will
close (normally energised mode).
Response resistance Ran2:
Auxiliary contacts 21-24 will open
and auxiliary contacts 21-22 will
close (normally energised mode).
Monitoring the operating earth
If the connection between the operat-
ing earth and the FE terminal is bro-
ken, contacts 11-12 and 21-22 will
close (normally energised mode).

Wiring
Inbetriebnahm e_Isolationswächte r
When commissioning, please note the
following:
Output contacts 11-12-14 and 21-
22-24 are auxiliary contacts (e.g. for
a display or contactor control)
Only wire the unit when the supply
voltage is switched off!
Use copper wiring.
To prevent contact welding, a fuse
should be connected before the
output contacts (see technical de-
tails).
Ensure that the cables are laid care-
fully, because an open circuit in the
measuring circuit will cause the unit
to malfunction.
Ensure there is adequate fuse pro-
tection on the connection cables at
terminals B1 and B2.
