6. 

Press the up or down keys to scroll through submenus. 

7. 

Pressing the right key (enter) allows selection, entering the  

Edit Mode, or accepts the edited values.

8. 

In the Edit Mode, the left key (escape) or right key scroll left and 

right to allow setting of the appropriate digit.

9. 

Outside of Edit Mode, the left key exits to the next higher level.

10. 

Press and hold the left key for approximately 3 seconds to 

silence any alarms.

11. 

Upon power on the controller displays the existing power factor 

value (X.XX i) and enters the Automatic Control Mode. 

a. 

The “I” at the end indicates an inductive power factor and 

would be appropriate for most installations. 

b. 

A “c” at the end indicates capacitive power factor and 

suggests reactive power export and may not be appropriate. 

Refer to the troubleshooting guide for resolution steps.

12. 

Set up the basic parameters in the controller. 

13. 

From the main screen, press the down key to step through the 

“INFO”, “MANUAL”, and “SETUP” modes.

14. 

When “SETUP” is shown, press the right key to enter the  

Menu 100.

15. 

Press the right key and program and/or verify the  

following values:
Un 

Nominal voltage (factory programmed; customer  

 

may verify)

Ct 

CT-ratio (factory set to 600, which corresponds to 3000:5  

 

current transformer ratio. Changing the CT ratio will  

 

change the capacitor step sizes in 402 and those values  

 

will have to be reprogrammed. 

Pt 

PT-ratio (factory programmed)

Ai 

Start of automatic initialization (factory programmed)

PFC  PF-control ON/OFF/HOLD (factory programmed)
CP1  Target-PF (customer to program)
St 

Switching time delay (factory programmed; customer  

 

may verify)

Out  Output type of each stage (Auto/Alarm/Fixed Off/Fixed On) 

 

(factory programmed; customer may verify)

16. 

Once the Menu 100 is programmed, press the left key three 

times to return to the main screen that displays the existing PF.

17. 

From the main screen, press the left key to enter the 

Measurement Mode to verify the measured values. See the 

menu map for a list of designated parameters. 

18. 

Press the left key to return to the main screen that displays the 

existing PF. 

19. 

To verify the capacitor bank is working, activate the controller in 

Manual Control Mode and cycle through all the available steps. 

ote: 

N

The steps will switch on only after the factory-set capacitor stage 

discharge time has elapsed. 

20. 

After each manual operation of the stage, the PF should change 

in the right direction (for example, 0.70 i >> 0.78 i >> 0.85 i…). 

21. 

If the PF changes in the right direction, the capacitor bank 

has been correctly commissioned. If not, please refer to the 

troubleshooting guide. 

22. 

To switch the controller in Manual and Control Mode, press the 

down key to step through the “INFO” mode to “MANUAL” mode. 

23. 

Press and hold the right key for approximately 3 seconds until “1” 

displays, indicating the stage number 1 is available for control.

ote: 

N

In Manual Mode, the controller freezes the stages in their existing 

state (ON, OFF, or HOLD). Therefore, it is important to ensure that at the 

end of this step, the controller is returned to the Automatic Control Mode 

by pressing the left key to return to the main screen that displays the 

existing PF. 

24. 

After activating all available steps, one should make note of the 

displayed PF values, as that reading should be greater than or 

equal to the target PF desired. 

25. 

If the displayed PF (with the electrical system fully loaded and 

all steps energized) is less than the target PF, then the selected 

capacitor bank is not sized adequately to raise the PF to the 

desired value. The customer should either upgrade the capacity 

of the capacitor bank or the target PF value should be decreased 

to prevent “PF alarms”.
