Commissioning

Configuring the Varlogic controller NR6/NR12
Setting the controller
The varmetric controller has been configured in accordance with the capacitor bank's characteristics. The only operations that have to be carried out during commissioning are: b target cos setting if necessary b current transformer ratio configuration. Important: b if supplied by a summing CT (installation with several incoming transformers), it is the sum of the ratios of the different measurement CTs that must be taken into consideration b for an installation equipped with a generator set (load shedding), the capacitor bank must be taken out of circuit, by breaking the supply to the controller, before switching to the generator set. See page 7, "connection of current circuit".

and
The parameters needed for correct capacitor bank operation are factory set. Some parameters depend on the installation's characteristics and must be modified on-site during commissioning b target cos (default value = 1) b current transformer ratio in order to display the measured values correctly b response current (C/K): this value is automatically searched for during the checking phase. In particular, the time delay must never be less than 50 s, otherwise there is a risk the capacitor bank will incur serious damage and will no longer be covered by the warranty. b the "MIS. SERV" menu must be used to launch the commissioning sequence. The sequence includes the configuration of cos and the transformation ratio, as well as an automatic check that the parameters entered are compatible with the installation's actual parameters.
Note : if an alarm appears during commissioning or when first used, refer to the "faults and solutions" paragraph to determine its origin.
Checking correct operation
b check that cos corresponds to the required value b if operating on full load, check the switched stepping functions correctly b after several hours' operation, check the temperature in the premises. For a better understanding of the parameters to be defined, refer to the Glossary (Chapter 7) in the controller manual.

Commissioning a pre-configured capacitor bank.
What to do in the event of an error?
"Error codes" allow a diagnosis to be made and a solution to be found. After checking the installation, re-launch the "MIS. SERV" sequence or the commissioning with automatic configuration "REG. AUTO" sequence. If the controller is not solicited for a long period when a menu is run, it may display the message "I FAIBLE" To return to the commissioning ("MIS. SERV") menu, or any other menu, press esc and then scroll through the menus to obtain the one required.
