PRODUCT PROFILE 2. Clean the equipment with a clean soft cloth. Do not use Isopropyl alcohol or any
other cleaning agent.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
CAUTION
1. This equipment, being buit-in type, normally becomes a part of main control panel
and in such case the terminals do not remain accessible to the user end after
installation and internal wiring.
2. Conductors must not come in contact with the internal circuitry of the equipment or
else it may lead to a safety hazard that may in turn endanger life or cause electrical
shock to the operator.
3. Before disconnecting the secondary of the external current transformer from the
equipment, make sure that the current transformer is short circuited to avoid risk of
electrical shock and injury.
144 x 144 x 50mm 4. The equipment shall not be installed in environmental condition other than those
mentioned in this manual.
SPECIFICATIONS 5. Thermal dissipation of equipment is met through ventilation holes provided on
chasis of equipment. Such ventilation holes shall not be obstructed else it can lead

USER GUIDE
a) Manual switching (MANL)
When this switching program is selected, the capacitor steps are controlled manually by the user.
b) Rotational switching (ROTN)
This switching program is based on rotational first-in-first-out sequence. This option will automatically switch in and out the capacitors according to the targeted power factor,
sensitivity setting and the re-connection time setting.
c) Automatic switching (AUTO)
This automatic switching program uses intelligent switching sequence. The step switching sequence is not fixed and the program automatically selects the most appropriate steps to
switch in or out in order to achieve shortest reaction time with minimum number of steps.
d) Linear switching (LINR)
In this switching sequence it works in last in first out mode. This option will automatically switch in and out the capacitors according to the targeted power factor, sensitivity setting
and the re-connection time setting.
