Ekip Multimeter module
The Ekip Multimeter is a remote viewing unit on the front of the switchgear and is equipped with a touchscreen
display.
It can be installed in the presence of Ekip Dip, Touch, Hi‐Touch, G Touch, and G Hi‐Touch trip units, with
which it communicates via Local Bus. It must be powered independently of the trip units to which it is
connected and can be powered in AC at 105...265 V AC/DC, or DC at 21.5...53 V DC.
IMPORTANT: AC and DC power supplies cannot be present at the same time.
One trip unit can communicate with a maximum of four Ekip Multimeters. On the other hand, the module can
be connected to only one trip unit.
In addition, the module makes an auxiliary voltage of 24 V DC available, which can be used to power the
trip unit. If the trip unit is powered through Ekip Multimeter, the power supply must be applied directly on the
terminal box of the circuit-breaker: in fact the Ekip Multimeter is sized in order to supply only the trip unit, and
therefore it is not able to supply sufficient power to supply an Ekip Supply module and any other electronic
accessories connected to the terminal box.
In the case of connection to an Ekip Touch, Hi-Touch, G-Touch, and G Hi-Touch trip unit, as well as displaying
the measurements, the module also allows you to set parameters and the protection thresholds.
For the Local Bus (communication lines W3 and W4) and the auxiliary output power (24Vout L+ and - signals),
Belden 3105A or equivalent cables must be used with a maximum length of 15 m. The screen of the cables
must be connected to ground on both sides of the connection.

External neutral
This is a current sensor for the neutral pole outside the circuit-breaker.
It is supported only for three-pole circuit breakers. It allows protection of the neutral to be implemented
through connection to the Ekip trip unit. It is supplied on request.
Further information on the connection of the external neutral is available at the site http://www.abb.com/

Contacts Ekip AUP
The communication modules are always supplied with dedicated Ekip AUP auxiliary position contacts, which
in the case of a withdrawable circuit-breaker supply the inserted/disconnected signal of the moving part from
the fixed part.
The assembly assures that the position signalling is also maintained with the moving part withdrawn.
IMPORTANT: in the presence of multiple communication modules, only one of these
can be connected to the Ekip AUP contacts.

Ekip RTC contact
The communication modules are always supplied with an Ekip RTC auxiliary contact, which supplies the trip
unit with the signal indicating that the circuit-breaker ready to receive a close command.
