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, 

REG-6S-100

 or 

REG-12S-100

  we can select up to 6 or 12 stages.  If the  number of 

stages  is  less  than  6  or  12  respectively  in 

REG-6S-100

  or 

REG-12S-100 

the  relay  number  6  or  12  is 

automatically assigned as alarm relay (see paragraph 3.3) 

 

5.7 

U,I phase angle setting. 

To set-up this parameter, use the keys 

 until the cursor   points to the option 

, then push  

 

During the set-up of this  parameter, the screen shows alternatively one of the options T1 to T6 and the 
cos

.   

This  parameter  permits  the  adaptation  of  the  regulator  to  different  options  of  connection  of  voltage  and 
current  measurement  in  the  three  phase  system.  The  default  assumed  connection  is  the  one  shown  in 
figs.  4.2  and  4.3,  i.e.,  the  current  transformer  placed  in  phase  L1  and  voltage  measurement  between 
phases L2 (terminal C) and L3 (terminal D). Sometimes it’s difficult to guarantee this connection or even 
check how it is. To adapt to this unknown situations the  REG-6S-100 AND REG-12S-100 devices allow 
the selection  of different options, T1 to T6, as shown in table 5.3. To select the right option  during start 
up, you should verify that there is load and that the loads are mainly inductive with a cos

 between 0,7 y 

1. In this situation try the different options until the cos

 screen shows a value between 0,7 and 1.

Programming the  CT rated current (primary). 

The set-up of this parameter can be selected at the bottom of the menu options. Use the 

 keys until 

the  bottom  red  LED 

    is  flashing  and  push   

.  The  display  will  show  the  assumed  CT 

primary current. Set the value according to the CT used to measure installation current. The adjustment 
range is from 0 to 999 and with the x10 option allows a rated primary current up to 9990 A. By default the 
secondary of CT is assumed to be 5 A. 
 

SET-UP MENU AND PROCEDURE. 

6.1 

    How to access the set-up menu. 

To access the set-up menu, press the key 

 for more than 1s (This is designated as long push in table 

6.1  ,  which  gives  a  summary  of  the  set-up  procedure).  The  pointer    starts  blinking  and  points  to  the 

parameter to be adjusted.  Select the parameter by means of the keys 

 

After  the  long  push  and  in  case  that  all  the  capacitor  stages  are  disconnected,  the  device  jumps  to  the 
set-up status. In case that there are some stages connected, keep the key 

 pushed while the regulator 

disconnects the connected stages sequentially and respecting the programmed delay time. Once all the 
stages  have  been  disconnected  the  device  enters  the  set-up  status  and  allows  the  adjustment  of  the 
different  parameters.  A  schematic  diagram  of  the  set-up  menu  showing  the  different  navigation  paths  is 
shown  in  table  6.1.  The  meanings  of  the  different  adjustable  parameters  have  been  explained  in 
paragraph 5.1.
