2. Safety notes
Device may only be disposed in a professional manner!
The installation and commissioning should only be carried out by trained personnel.
Check the following points before commissioning:
– that the maximum values for all the connections are not exceeded, see "Technical data"
section,
– that the connection wires are not damaged, and that they are not live during wiring,
– that the power flow direction and the phase rotation are correct.
The instrument must be taken out of service if safe operation is no longer possible (e.g. visible
damage). In this case, all the connections must be switched off. The instrument must be
returned to the factory or to an authorized service dealer.
It is forbidden to open the housing and to make modifications to the instrument. The instrument
is not equipped with an integrated circuit breaker. During installation check that a labeled switch
is installed and that it can easily be reached by the operators.
Unauthorized repair or alteration of the unit invalidates the warranty.
3. Device overview
3.1 Brief description
The SINEAX AM-series devices are compact instruments to measure and monitor in heavy current grids.
They excel in display quality and intuitive operation. The devices provide a wide range of functionalities
which may even be extended by optional components. The nameplate on the device gives further details
about the present version. They are connected to the process environment by communication interfaces,
via digital I/Os, analog outputs or relays.
The devices have been designed for universal use in industrial plants, building automation or in energy
distribution. Nominal voltages of up to 690 V and measurement category CATIII can be directly connected
in low voltage systems. The universal measuring system permits the direct use of the devices in any type
of grid, from single-phase mains through to 4-wire unbalanced load systems.
A comprehensive security concept protects the devices from unauthorized access, eavesdropping of
communication or data manipulations. Implemented security mechanisms are Role-Based Access Control
(RBAC), encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, logging of all activities in an Audit log with Syslog
protocol support, a client whitelist for limiting computers with access authorization and digitally signed
firmware files for secure updates.
The AM series devices may be completely adapted to the requirements on site via TFT display. Versions
with an Ethernet interface permit webpage configuration. No special software is required for device
configuration or measurement display.
