BLR-CX (MB_EN_ACX-R_BEL_10)

ATTENTION!
Installation of the BLR-CX must only be undertaken by technically qualified
persons, since live terminals can cause electric shock.
The appropriate safety regulations in the country of installation must be strictly
adhered to.
Equipment with damaged casing or terminals must not be used and must be
disconnected from the mains supply immediately.

Installation and Commissioning:
1) Check that the mains voltage and CT current input are suitable for
the relay!
2) Disconnect panel from mains voltage,
and check that the voltage is off
3) Ensure CT short-circuited or not in operation.
An open circuit CT produces a high voltage which endangers
people and equipment. It will also damage the CT and affect ist
accuracy.
4) Disconnect and remove any previous pfc-relay.
5) Mount BLR-CX in the control panel with the two mounting clips.
(cutout 138x138mm)
6) Connect the earth protection cable to ‘PE’ on BLR-CX metal case.
7) Connect BLR-CX according to wiring diagram.
(CT/P1 towards incoming feeder, CT/P2 towards load!)
8) Remove short-circuit from CT
9) Connect mains voltage to panel.
10) If relay has been correctly connected and the mains voltage and CT
output comply with the ratings and settings of BLR-CX, the LCD will
show AUTO and the control function will start automatically!
FAQ during Commissioning:
1) No indication AUTO " the relay does not switch
Cause: Relay set to manual operation
In SETUP/100 menu the selection for PFC is on OFF or HOLD
temperature is too high,
current < 15mA, voltage or THD U is out of tolarance.
2) Indication U ALARM " voltage out of tolerance
Check settings for nominal voltage (SETUP/Un) and
voltage transformer (SETUP/Pt)
3) Indication I Lo ALARM " CT current < 15mA
Cause: connection error of CT; short-link of CT is not removed;
CT-ration is too high compared to real current; no current
4) Indication EXPORT " kW export
if there is no real kW export, voltage and current connection to
BLR-CX has to be checked! See Wrong Connections / AI
5) Wrong Cos j indication " wrong connection
voltage and current connection to BLR-CX has to be checked!
See Wrong Connection / AI
6) Steps switch in and then quickly switch out again
See Stepsize Detection / Defective Capacitors
7) Frequent switching of steps
size of capacitors has not been completly detected

Switch Cycles of Contactor:

Step Setting:
AUTO: automatically switched step
Fon: step is permanently switched on
Foff: step is permanently switched off
AL: step used for fan control
FLty: defective step
MANUAL Operation:
For manual operation u has to be pressed for 3 seconds!
Selection of step by p, q. Number of selected step is shown in line 2 of
LCD. By pushing u selected step will switch on / off.
Manual operation escape by pressing t .

Important Information:
- Menu Manual Operation cannot be opend in modes LIFO and
Combi-Filter. (see Reference book!)
- Discharging lockout time is also active during manual operation
(steps are locked in to allow for discharge time after switching-off)
- If voltage is out of tolerance all steps are disconnected.
- THD U-alarm and over temperature alarms will prevent steps
switching in on manual mode.
- Only steps with step type AUTO can be switched!
- After leaving manual operation menu, relay sitches to the actual
load.

Wrong Connection / AI - Automatic Initialising:
A pfc-relay demands correct connection of voltage and current (polarity and
phase) to function correctly. If this is not the case, the connection must be
corrected. As this is not always possible, BLR-CX is offering the following
possibilities:
Manual Correction: SETUP / 200 see Reference book
Automatic Initialising: SETUP/ 100 / Ai
Ai is connecting and disconnecting all control exits several times by
switching them on and off. This lasts several minutes! Exits which are not
connected are designated as Foff (permanently off). Stepsizes are not
detected by this function!
After Ai is complete, the BLR-CX has to be checked for correct
operation!
Requirements for successful operation of Ai:
- voltage is within tolerance
- CT is connected (no simulation!)
- capacitor banks are installed and fuses are inserted
Possible problems for function of Ai:
- load variations
- small current signals (big CT-ratio, small stepsizes)
Failure indication Ai / Abrt:
Ai is aborted, as no clear result could be achieved,PFC = OFF.
Step Size Detection:
At each switching operation, step size is measured (except this function
is not active SETUP / 300 see Reference book)
Setting of c/k value is not necessary. Switching sequence is carried out
automatically by selecting capacitor steps with the most suitable kvar
value to match the load requirement.
The recognised values are stored in a step data base. Loss of output of
each capacitor step can be seen there.
If a step fails to function during the first 3 switching operations after a
reset of the step data base, steptype Foff is set automatically.
Defective Steps:
When a step is switched 3 times in series without measured size, it is
detected as defective and it is blocked for 24h.
Step state: flashing
Status: Flty, step is blocked
Failure analysis:
After commissioning, all steps have step type Foff:
Is short link of CT secondary removed?
Is position of CT correct?
Are all fuses present and in order?
In normal operation, one or more steps are flashing?
Check condition of fuses, contactors and capacitors of this faulty step.
Reset in SETUP / 100 / OUt or by re-start (interruption of supply
voltage) of BLR-CX!
