Performance features of the SENTRON PAC4200
SENTRON PAC4200 is a Power Monitoring Device for displaying, storing, and monitoring all
relevant system parameters in low-voltage power distribution. It is capable of single-phase,
two-phase, or three-phase measurement and can be used in two-wire, three-wire, four-wire,
TN, TT, and IT systems.
Thanks to its compact design in 96 x 96 mm format, it fits into any standard cutout. The
SENTRON PAC4200 measures around 200 electrical variables with minimum values,
maximum values and demands.
With its large measured voltage range, SENTRON PAC4200 with a wide-voltage power
supply can be connected direct in any low-voltage system up to a rated system voltage of
690 V (max. 600 V for Vph).
Higher voltages can be measured using voltage transformers. For measuring current, either
x / 1 A or x / 5 A current transformers can be used.
The large graphical LC display permits reading even from a distance. SENTRON PAC4200
has adjustable backlighting for optimal readability even under poor lighting conditions.
The combination of four function keys with the multi-language plaintext displays makes
intuitive user prompting possible. The experienced operator can also use direct navigation
for quicker selection of the desired display menu.
SENTRON PAC4200 guarantees high measuring accuracy. It can be used to capture and
store load profiles according to various methods. It has a range of useful monitoring,
diagnostics, and service functions, a two-tariff apparent energy, active energy and reactive
energy counter, two universal counters, and an operating hours counter for monitoring
connected loads.
The SENTRON PAC4200 saves the apparent, active and reactive energy consumption per
day and tariff over one year. In addition, the Power Monitoring Device has an apparent,
active and reactive energy counter for recording the energy consumption of a manufacturing
process. A separate operating hours counter calculates the duration of this process. The
available digital inputs are used to control the process energy counters.
A comprehensive, parameterizable signaling system allows application-specific monitoring of
various events, such as limit violations or operator interventions.
The data memory of the device and the internal clock are battery-backed.
The integral 10 / 100 Mbit Ethernet interface or an optional expansion module can be used
for communication, e.g. the SENTRON PAC RS485 expansion module or the SENTRON
PAC PROFIBUS DP expansion module.
SENTRON PAC4200 has two multifunctional digital inputs and two multifunctional digital
outputs.
