Code

Meaning

Unstable network:  The controller is unable to
operate due to excessive load variations on the
network. CT oversized.

Step size too small: The effect of the 1

st

 

step

cannot be measured. CT oversized, wrong
wiring, inoperative steps.

Sequence not found: Step ratio does not match
available step sequences.

Step size too large: The ratio of measured step
compared with the 1

st

 step is too large. Step

sequence cannot be resolved.

Non-relevant autosetup process with this bank
configuration

Reserved

Wiring verify error: Controller wiring not correct.

Step count error: The Number of Steps setting
is incorrect.

Step sequence error: The step size ratios differ
from the selected step sequence.

C/K value error.

USER´S MANUAL

5.5 Auto Setup of Parameters

The auto setup sequence is intended for inexperienced users so they can commission the bank
with minimal prior knowledge. The user need only input three of the most common parameters
and then launch an automatic search for the other parameters.

NOTE:     The use of Auto Setup of Parameters menu is forbidden on HV network applications

In the event of error, see the Commissioning Menu (chapter 5.4).

Action to do

• Enter the parameter settings

manually using Parameter
Update
 menu.

• Rerun the commissioning

sequence

• Check wiring, CT, condition of

capacitor steps (1

st

 step)

• Check the condition and sizes

of steps and contactors

• Check the condition and sizes

of steps and contactors

• Use manual setup to confirm

or correct the information
obtained by autosetup

• Check the wiring of voltage-

and current inputs

• Check the Wiring setting from

Parameter Update menu

• Check the Number of Steps

setting

• Check the number of steps in the

bank and the condition of steps

• Check Step Sequence setting
• Check step sizes used in the

bank

• Check the response value used
• Check the size of 1

st
