power factor is in inductive or capacitive area. 

If measuring current drops below 3 mA, controller disconnects all stages and on the display will appear "  - - - - ". By button 

  it  is  possible  move  to  average  inductive  power  factor  indication. At  first,  the  display  will  show  symbol 

i_CoS

  and  then 

after 1 second  numeric  value  will be shown. After pressing the button 

, the display  will show symbol 

ċCoS

 and after 1 

second it will show numeric value. Another pressing of button 

 will show 

iCOS

 during distribution (power supply LED is 

on), followed by 

cCOS

 during distribution, and then will return back to instantaneous value of cos

φ

 7.3.  Apparent current 

Pressing of button 

  will  move to another level  - apparent current. Symbol 

I_AP

  will appear on the display  for 1 second. 

After  that,  the  display  will  show  effective  value  of  apparent  current  on  primary  side  of  current  transformer,  assuming  that 
correct transformer ratio is set in configuration mode, under the parameter 

I_tr

Another value in this level is current harmonic distortion factor. After pressing the button 

, the display will show symbol 

tHdI

,  which  will  be  replaced  after  1  second  by  actual  measured  value.  For  getting  information  about  maximum  value  or 

erasing it, follow the same procedure as described above. 

 7.4.  Voltage 

This level has exactly the same structure as previous level for apparent current, but this time it is for network voltage. 

 7.5.  Powers 

Another  level  offers  values  of  four  powers. At  the  first  position  there  is  apparent  power 

P_AP

,  following  by  active  power 

P_rL

 and reactive power 

P_rC

, respectively and the last but not least there is allowed reactive power 

rC_P

. For all powers 

actual  measured  value  is  available  and  of  course  also  maximum  measured  value.  Procedure  of  showing  or  erasing  of  all 
values is the same as for previous levels. 

 7.6.  De-compensation delay 

This information  shows actual remaining  time (seconds)  to regulation action during over-compensation. Displayed  value is 
decreased each second by square of true control deviation and requested power factor value. 

 

 7.7.  Number of stage circuit closings 

Number of stage circuit closings is divided to the 12 for PFC 12 independent levels. For the first stage, the display will show 
symbol 

C1_S

 and after it disappears the number of first stage circuit closings will be displayed. By simultaneous pressing of 

buttons 

SET

 and 

MAN

 this information can be erased. To another level, where information about second stage is, move by 

pressing the button

 

▲. 

The rest of procedure is the same as for the first stage. 

 7.8.  System frequency 

Next to the last level is system frequency 

U_Fr

. Also at this level, actual value of system voltage frequency, maximum value 

and minimum value are available. Showing of actual and maximum values is the same as for previous levels. 

 7.9.  Temperature 

Last level shows regulator ambient temperature 

t_°C

. Both actual and maximum value are possible to be seen. Showing or 

erasing these values is the same as for previous levels. 

 8. 

Manual operation 

Switching  the  regulator  to  the  configuration  mode  and  by  subsequent  press  of  button 

MAN

,  manual  regulation  of 

compensation stages will be activated. The status is indicated by LED with label 

manual

. On the display, symbol 

St_1

 will 

be shown for 1 second. After that, it  will be replaced by actual value,  which blinking (manual  mode indication). Button 

 

allows to change stage status with respecting the set discharging time and delay for stage disconnection. It means that if the 
stage  was  disconnected,  pressing  the  button 

  will  switch  the  stage  on.  If  the  stage  was  connected,  the  same  button  will 

switch the stage off. For another stage selection press button 

. After pressing this button, the display will show for 1 second 

symbol 

St_2

, representing another stage. The whole procedure is the same like for the previous stage. By pressing the button 

MAN

, manual mode can be deactivated. 

 9. 

Alarm notification 

If at least one of enabled alarm events appeared, then alarm output relay will be switched on for 1 min and LED with label 

alarm

  will  blink  on  the  display.  This  LED  will  also  blink  after  the  alarm  event  disappears,  until  it  gets  cancelled  by  long 

press of button 

SET. 

Alarm notification does not have any influence to regulator behaviour, except in the case when alarm is 

activated by high harmonic disturbance. 

The symbol of alarm sort is shown on the display after pressing the button 

SET

 for at least 5 seconds. Symbol of the event
