3. Product information

This chapter includes overall product information about the unit.

Description of functions
The MIC multi-instrument is a microprocessor-based measuring unit providing
measurement of all electrical quantities on a 1- or 3-phase electric energy
distribution network. The measurements are shown on the built-in display. The
MIC also has an RS485 interface that supports data exchange with a control
system via Modbus RTU protocol.

The MIC measures true RMS values on all 1- or 3-phase network topologies
with or without neutral and with both balanced and unbalanced load.

The MIC can replace a large number of standard analogue instruments in all
electrical measuring applications. It can be applied both as a regular
instrument and as a remote value-reading and control unit transmitting all
measured values to the remote control system via the serial interface.

The MIC contains all necessary measuring circuits and presents all values on
a display with blue backlight. The display has 4 digits resolution for all
measurements with the exception of the energy counter (9 digits). The
backlight “on- time” is selectable.

The MIC is a flexible measuring unit that enables the user to easily adapt the
instrument to the individual application. Counter reset and change of the
instrument settings can be password protected.

The MIC product family includes two versions:

• MIC 4002 is the basic version

• MIC 4224 has additional I/O functions

Auxiliary power supply

The auxiliary power supply of the MIC meter is 85-264V AC (50/60Hz) or 24-
48, 100-280V DC. For the pure DC version the auxiliary supply is 19.2-57.6V
DC. The typical power consumption of the meter is less than 2W. The
terminals for the auxiliary power supply are to be connected as follows:

Terminal number 20 22 24
AC L N G/
DC + ÷

A fuse (typical 1A/250V AC) should be used in auxiliary power supply loop.
Terminal no. 24 must be connected to the safety earth system of the
switchgear.

The wire of the auxiliary power supply should be 0.5-1.5mm² (AWG16-22).

Current transformers must be short-circuited, before the wires

are removed from the terminals on the instrument.

DEIF A/S Page 14 of 38

MIC Installation Instructions and Reference Handbook

Measuring connections
The MIC can be used in almost all kinds of 3-phase connections.

The voltage and current input wiring modes can be set separately in the
parameter setting process. The voltage wiring mode can be:

The rated measuring voltage of the MIC is 400V LL. Naturally the
instrument can be used is systems with lower system voltage
level, e.g. in connection with 100V voltage transformers. The
measuring accuracy will in this case be slightly reduced.

• 3LN 3-phase 4-line Y

• 2LN 3-phase 4-line Y with 2 voltage transformers
• 2LL 3-phase 3-line open delta

The MIC is designed to be used together with current

transformers with secondary input of 5A. If the secondary current
is 1A, the primary ratio has to be multiplied with 5 to give a
correct reading.

Example: 500/1 = 2500/5.

This gives a limitation of max. 2.000A on the primary when the

secondary is 1A.

The current input wiring mode can be:

• 3CT
• 2CT
• 1CT

Any voltage mode can be grouped with any of the current mode.

The wire of the measuring inputs supply should be 1.5-5mm² (AWG10-16).

The voltage measuring inputs should be protected by fuses (1A/250V AC).

Voltage input wiring

3LN. 3-phase 4-line Y
The 3-phase 4-line Wye mode is popularly used in low voltage electric
distribution power systems. The MIC can either be connected directly to the
power line or it can be connected with voltage transformers.

Direct connection

With 3 voltage transformers

2LN. 3-phase 4-line Y with 2 voltage transformers

In some high voltage 3-phase 4-line Wye systems this mode is used. It is
supposed that the 3 phases of the power system are in balance. The V2
voltage is calculated from the measured values of V1 and V3.

All the current inputs of the 3-phase system can be seen as 3CT one, whether
there are two or three CTs on the input side.

3 current transformers

2 current transformers with input on I21 and I22

2CT
The difference of the 2CT mode compared to the 3CT mode is that there is no
current input in the I21 and I22 terminals. The I2 value is calculated from the
formula i1+i2+i3=0. The current in an N-wire cannot be calculated in this
mode.

1CT
This connection with only one current transformer can be used, if the 3-phase
system is in full balance. The other two phase currents are calculated
according to the balance supposing. The current in an N-wire cannot be
calculated in this mode.

Communication
The communication terminals are A, B, and S (11, 12, 13). A is differential
signal +, B is differential signal and S is connected to a shield of twisted pair
cables. Up to 32 devices can be connected on an RS485 bus. The maximum
connection length is 1000m. Conductors A and B should be terminated with a
120Ω terminating resistor at the end of the string.

For RS485 communications the PC requires either an internal RS485

communications port or an external RS232/RS485 converter. In both cases,
the device must provide automatic RS485 data flow control.

Digital input
There are two digital inputs in the MIC 4002. They can be used to show the
status of switches in the power system. The terminals of the two digital inputs
are DI1+, DI1- (15, 16) and DI2+, DI2- (17, 18). The MIC 4224 has two
additional digital inputs, they are on terminals DI3+, DI3- (25, 26) and DI4+,
DI4- (27, 28).

The DC power supply should be 12-24V DC. Max. input current

30mA. The wire of digital inputs should be 0.5-1.5mm² (AWG16-
22).

DEIF A/S Page 20 of 38

MIC Installation Instructions and Reference Handbook

Digital output
The MIC 4224 has two digital outputs that can be used either as pulse outputs
to energy counters or as over/under the limit alarm signals. The terminals of
the digital output are DO1+, DO1- (35, 36) and DO2+, DO2- (37, 38). Max.
output voltage 40V DC. Max. output current 30mA. Negative voltage is not
possible.

When the digital outputs are used to give pulses to energy counters, the pulse
width and pulse rate can be set in the parameter setting mode via the
communication.

When the digital outputs are used as over or under alarm limits outputs, then
the limits of the parameter, time interval and output port can be set. This
setting can only be performed via the communication.

The wire of the digital output should be 0.5-1.5mm² (AWG16-22).

DEIF A/S Page 21 of 38

MIC Installation Instructions and Reference Handbook

Relay output
The MIC 4224 has two relay outputs. The terminals are R11, R12 (31, 32) and
R21, R22 (33, 34). These two relay outputs can be used to remote control
electric switches in power systems.

R11

R12

Relay rating: 3A/250V AC and 3A/30V DC. A mediate relay is

recommended.

The MIC has two relay output modes, namely ‘Latching’ and ‘Momentary’. In
the latching mode the relay has two settings: On or off. In the momentary
mode the relay changes from off to on for a certain period of time (Ton), and
then it goes off again. Ton can be set from 50-3000ms.

The wire of the relay output should be 0.5-1.5mm² (AWG16-22).

Parameter setting
The parameter setting mode is entered by pressing the H and V/A keys
simultaneously in the normal display mode. The setup of the MIC via the front
keys can be protected by an access code. The access code is a 4 digit
number.

The factory default code is 0000.

5. Basic operation

This chapter deals with the basic operation of the MIC. Screen dumps are
used in order to simplify the information.

Display
The display panel with blue backlight is used for presentation of all measured
values and for displaying of the selected function during the setup process.

The four push-buttons are used to change the display to the different screens
showing all the measured and calculated values.
