1 INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY TIPS
CIRCUTOR S.A. thanks you for choosing one of the regulators from the Computer MAX 6f V12dc series.
These units have been built with state-of-the-art technologies, including a powerful processor that can
calculate the optimum algorithms and achieve the best correction of the cos
φ .
The units comply with the EN 61010 Electrical Safety Standard, in accordance with the Low Voltage
Directive requirements (LVD 73/23/EC), as well as the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC) and are, therefore,
certified for use with the CE mark.
The purpose of this user manual is to describe the operating principles of the regulators of the Computer
MAX 6f V12dc series and to define the installation, start-up, and operation procedures.
Safety
The installation and maintenance of the unit must be performed by qualified and
authorised staff, in compliance with the national and international Standards. Handling or
use of the unit different from that specified by the manufacturer may compromise user
safety.
The main switch must be disconnected before any maintenance is performed on the cos φ regulation
units. After a disconnection, wait at least 5 minutes to make sure that all capacitors have been suitably
discharged.
The following safety precautions must be taken into account during installation, maintenance or start-up
operations on units regulated by a computer Max 6f V12dc:
Make sure that the units have the corresponding earthing connections before they are connected.
A faulty earthing connection could lead to a faulty operation and represent the risk of electrical
discharge to the user or person handling the unit.
The necessary precautions will be taken during maintenance operations to prevent the risk of
electrocution and electric shock. Make sure that the unit has been disconnected and wait until the
capacitors have been fully discharged before handling or operating the unit. We recommend the
use of safety goggles and gloves.
Resonance can be produced when the power factor compensation units are connected with no
loads. In this case, the voltage harmonics can be amplified, causing damage to the power factor
compensation units and other units connected to the network.
Follow the start-up and stop procedures described in the manual to prevent damage to the unit
and/or adjacent units.
Always use original spare parts or components when adjusting or replacing components and
follow the corresponding procedures described in the instruction manual.
1.1 Checks to be carried out when the regulator is received
On receiving the regulator, check that:
The unit has not been damaged during transport.
The type supplied is the same as that requested. (See label on the rear, Fig. 1.1)
Check the features shown on the unit's label, to make sure that they are valid for the type of grid
where the unit will be connected. (Voltage and power supply frequency, measurement range,
etc.)
Follow the instructions described in section 3, in relation to the rest of the installation and setup.
Please contact the technical-commercial service of CIRCUTOR, S.A. if you detect any anomalies.
